We bought our kegs from Zipps for our wedding this past November in the Minneapolis Mill District. All in all, we had a very nice experience with Zipps, and would recommend to others. They were very reasonably priced, accommodating and flexible with regards to our returning the kegs and equipment. My only qualm is that there was one hiccup in communication. We were under the impression that any untapped kegs would be able to be returned for a refund. This is not the case. It seems this is "common knowledge" for people who deal with kegs regularly (we dont), but it was a negative surprise and an unfortunate coda to an otherwise nice experience. Wish that information had been more clearly communicated upfront, along with all of the policies and information about returning the taps and other bits of the contract.

I love Zipps. Ill start by saying that I go here for craft beer. I know they have a selection of wine and liquor, but Im not into that so this review is based solely on the beer selection. The craft beer selection is really good. Zipps is one of the three shops I hit when Im searching for the latest greatest beer to hit town. Prices are pretty much the same as the other reputable shops around. Maybe a dollar more on this or that and a dollar less on other things. I dont understand beer pricing. The variety of beers is really good in the L shaped coolers and also on the warm shelves in the middle. Dont forget to check out the singles wall where you can make your own six pack. Good prices are had there too, not so gouge-y. Thumbs up, Zipps! Keep up the good work.

I went in about 2 weeks ago (not my first time, nor will it be my last) with a hankering for some laid-back, pale ale. Yet, I had no idea what I wanted as far as brand goes. I did not need to ask for help for I was asked how I could be helped. So I expressed my desires and before I knew it, I had 2 employees happily talking me through all the different options, and their preferences. I felt welcome, which is not something one usually expects from a liquor store. They will continue to have my business.

This is my neighborhood liquor store. I love them SO MUCH. They have a great selection. The staff are so helpful. Its refreshing to go into a store where the staff feel like they enjoy being there. They will special order things for me that are hard to find. They almost always have wine tastings on the weekend. I dont go to any other liquor store. Oh!! And they are dog friendly. Love it.

Never for a lack of interesting characters wandering around Zipps. We have collaborated with Zipps twice for non profit fund raisers and the owner is just an awesome person. She as well was her staff know their stuff. Their beer guy is insanely knowledgeable and they have an incredible selection of everything. Stop in, you wont regret it.

Spoke with Joanna, she was very professional and very helpful when I was reserving my two kegs. She helped me get everything taken care of and even though I clearly hadnt done this before, she helped me through it no big deal. Super easy process and great price, this is where Ill be referring everyone I know.

Great people. great selections, and great prices— a neighborhood gem, at which you can not only find what you already like, but expert help in selecting the best products to your tastes. The fine staff also offers very affordable and wonderfully educational classes. Keep up the great work!

Wide selection. Lots of craft and local options. Some staff are pleasant. Some staff are rude (when I was 22 I was told "get out, youre not 21" before having the chance to show my ID, which was incredibly off-putting). Occasionally there are dogs (the owners pets??) roaming around inside.

Zipps is a neighborhood icon. Their prices are great, their staff is expert, and their selection is outstanding. They even hold classes on scotch, bourbon, wine and other quality beverages where even if you know your stuff, youll learn something and have fun. Bring your dog and stock up.

No service. Grouchy cashiers. I could care less attitude. They dont want you to buy any quantity. Carts are hidden. They dont roll in parking lot and the doors dont open to carts. No carry out provided. Decent selection of wines and beers. But dont go here for party quantity supplies.

Great selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Knowledgeable staff that you can safely trust for a recommendation. Huge selection of craft beer bombers, perfect for sampling tastes from around the country. Best place to pickup a keg of craft beer for anyone with a home system

Best selection of Kegs in the state - MN or WI! We moved to WI 3 years ago, and you would think in the land of beer there would be kegs available galore - not where we live! So, we head back to Zipps - where there is a huge selection for the kegerator!

Great, current inventory of everything. Wine selection is remarkable for a store of this size; if they dont have it here, you probably have to go to Surdyks. Easy in and out, nice people, family business, they continue to invest and improve.

One of the Top 3 liquor stores in Minneapolis. The whiskey selection is hard to beat anywhere else and the beer stock is always up to the minute with the best around. There are also some high notes to find in the wine section.

Very good selection of beer, wine an spirits. They even have a section for Austrian wine, which -as an Austrian- I appreciated. Although I went for Minnesotan beverages. There is even very good Minnesotan wine, ask for it.

Not only does it have all the booze you need, but all the employees are absolute sweethearts. Ive been to Zipps a few times after terrible days, and they are always so kind and helpful even when Im being an exhausted grump.

An amazing variety of craft beers. I think you could try a new one every week and be dead before you get to try them all. My only regret is there are too many to try to have the ones I like a second time. Oh well.

I go to Zipps because they have a great selection of micro brews. I also go to Zipps becuase they have a large, well versed hard liquor selection in a full range of bottle sizes. In short, Zipps is my favorite!

The largest beer selection I have seen in my life! I was in a hurry so I didnt have much chance to browse around but Im sure I could spend lots of time in there. Check out guy was very friendly

Great prices on liquor and great wine selection with many small producers. Not much very high-end wine but plenty of great bottles in the $10-70 range which is what most people are looking for.

Friendly staff and very convenient, but not a great selection of wines. Its okay for a last minute table wine, but if youre looking for a decent selection of the good stuff, look elsewhere.

Lots of written notes from the staff on whats good. Perfect for inexperienced drinkers. Lots of selection, friendly staff. Pretty good prices, better than the one on the U campus anyway.

In all of the twin cities I dont believe there is a better stocked store for craft beer fans. Knowledgeable staff, tons of unique beers make this a worthwhile stop or a destination trip.
