"Citywide in 2019 represents South Bend at its best: a multi-generation family-owned business breathing life into a formerly vacant, though historic, downtown building.
In early 2019 the store transitioned to a new generation of family-ownership and moved into half of the historic J.C. Lauber Sheet Metal Co. building, adding the state's largest walk-in beer cooler, a tasting bar, and a modern, oriental rug-centric aesthetic. Couple all of that with a massive selection of wine, liquor, and beer, and it's easy to understand why this is the go-to store for downtown dwellers." - West.SB

For all things whiskey, Xayen is the man. He took time out of his day to let me sample a few of their open bottles. The most impressive was the 2024 Pinhook Cask Strength Single Barrel store pick which he helped select. Give this guy a promotion!

A complete Aladdin's cave. So many different beers, I had to ask the salesperson how to navigate the cave. It does make it more difficult to discover a great IPA by browsing but it does have the most extensive beer collection I have ever witnessed. Lot (and lots) of spirits too, but I wasn't. Shopping for those this time.

I always am surprised by what I find here, great bourbon and Amaro selection and I'm sure they are also good for other spirits

Called in advance to make sure Citywide had the quantity I needed. They responded twice. We set up a date and time for pickup. They were on top of it. Great customer service.

Located in a tastefully remodeled building that used to house a sheetmetal fabrication business, the new Citywide location is beautiful and well stocked with everything you need. Staff is helpful and friendly. They have an excellent selection of Gin if tjats your thing, the walk in beer cooler has a great selection as well. This location is close to my house so I will be back.
Thank you Citywide for renovating an older building downtown and making it a lovely place.
