Dannecker’s Discount Super Market & Liquors

They carry my favorite beer (Ranger) and are a hop, skip, and a jump away. I feel bad for the family who owns the place because they have to put up with a lot of the neighborhood drunks… and they are sooo sweet. Last year we asked them about carrying a cheap wine that we love, and they started stocking it immediately for a decent price. How nice is that?!

Once upon a time this was a happening grocery store and liquor mart. The thing is, that time was a long time ago, perhaps back in my dad’s era. Now we have a most unusual and barely useful establishment in two parts.
Part one: Grocery. Lots of empty space. Of the shelves, many are empty. Oddly, a selection of DVDs available for rent. An air of depression wafts over you as you browse the empty space, looking at empty shelves.
Part two: liquor. In the back of the store, behind a rolling gate, can be found the liquor store. Every variety of Mad Dog is stocked. You will also find your Boone’s farm, your Wild Irish Rose, and several other kinds of cheap wine. Also present: a large collection of canned Beer Product of the «it’s cheap and gets you drunk» variety. In the booze department, lots of hi-​end vodka and cheap everything else. Prices are on par with a neighborhood liquor store.
It will do in a pinch, or if you are feeling too happy and want to depress yourself for a bit. For a better selection and lower prices, the closest alternative would be the liquor store on St. Clair and 7^th street.

This place is really creepy. I’d always wanted to go in because I like when liquor stores and grocery stores are combined, and I really like the sign. It looks like it will be giant in here, but it’s not. It’s dark and dirty feeling and the shelves seem really bare. It’s basically like you’re in the 70s without all the cool disco.
The liquor store side at least had 24 oz bottles of beer. But I was very creeped out by this place and got out right away so I can’t tell you many more details. It is unique.
