24th Street isn't lacking in terms of liquor stores, but Tony's is far and away the best of the bunch. Start with the outside. While most liquor stores don't bother to take down the security gates over their windows, even when open, Tony's owner invested in nice roll down doors that leave all the windows clear and welcoming when the store is open. Inside, the store is kept very clean and well-lit. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the other people that work there have been great to me, as well.
Their selection of beer and wine is fantastic, and while they don't have a massive array of hard liquor, they stuff they do have is generally better quality.
They also do a good job with all the non-alcohol provisions, from ice cream and popcorn to bacon, toilet paper and cereal. They even have a nice little selection of cheese and cured meats.
The kicker, of course, is Pal's Takeaway, the specialty sandwich shop located inside. Only available during the day, but well worth it.
Whereas other stores on 24th focus on blunt wraps and 40s, Tony's focuses on being a nice place to shop.
