It's one of the very few Liquor Stores that remain in our predominantly 'Black neighborhoods!! It's owned by another person of color, an Hispanic Individual, who has always taken pride in his ownership of this store! Over the years, the store has always been, well main- tained, inside and outside and the proprietor has always employed people of color!! Although, I've always been just a social drinker, I'd rarely purshase alcohol at the store, but it sells many other reasonably priced, non alcohol items. However, my main attraction to the store is it's 'IL Lottery Counter'! I would often purchase Lottery Tickets there, moreso for my dad before his demise. 'Midway Liquor Store' is a 'Neighborhood Landmark' that I'm 'Truly Grateful' still exists!!

  • James Demus

Hello my name is James Demus. I'm a regular customer at the Liquor store at 55th and state. I typically spend about 500 dollars a week on the lottery. Today is a very sad day for me because I came in the store tonight to play my numbers. I wrote them all down on plane English. One of my numbers were 509 which I played two dollars straight and fifty fifty. The ladies played only fifty fifty. So now I'm put off a thousand dollars because of her mistake. What do you think about this. And what should I do.

  • Mr. E

So big, but so organized, easy to find what you're looking for, and the staff is perfect. Owner treats employees well because they seem to enjoy their jobs. Very very polite and always smiling. It has become my favorite place. Keep up the good work. Great location. The owners Tequila Cinco Blancos is definitely something everyone should try.
