Randalls is OPEN!!!! I saw the open signs yesterday and swung by there last night. It closes at 8:00 (except fridays and weekends) but I was able to look through the doors.............It is ***** huge. For someone who likes to drink (like me) and has interest in buying quality, this place is a godsend for the area. It is definately not just a wine warehouse too. I could see huge shelves of liquor and beer. It is a little bit hard to get to though, I came west on Russell and went north on Missouri to the parking lot. The Jefferson entrance can be a little difficult. The other thing that I am worried about is the giant glass doors. Though they have security cameras and what I'm sure is a serious security system, It looks like it would be pretty easy to pull a 30 second smash and grab. I hope they do well. This place is a nice addition to the near south side.

I dropped in tonight. It is very well worth a visit. Spoke with the manager and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Said the building used to be a trolley repair place back in the day. More recently it was a print shop and apparently it was a real mess and the cleanup was an arduous task. They did a great job with the cleanup. Nice exposed brick with a clean floor. The first thing you see when you walk in is a cherry 1955 thunderbird convertible. A fantastic selection at competitive prices. Bottles of wine $4.99 and up. Awesome selection of micro-brews including Goose Island, New Belgium, Odell’s (90 Schilling!), etc. Grand opening is this Sunday. Check it out if you get a chance. You won't be let down.

Yes, those are all great brews. I forgot to mention, Randall's has Flying Dog too!

Outstanding! I'm glad to hear everything worked out and they're open for business. I can't remember the publication(s), but I've already seen some ads for this place. This should be a great addition to the area!
