If you live in Atlanta, this store is a must! Not only do they have a jaw-dropping selection of great craft brews and imports, the prices are impressively low - I probably saved a lot more than I spent in fuel to get there, and that includes an annoying detour around a closed section of I-285. I just about went hog wild at this place! The clerks were eager to please, and did an excellent job of totting up and boxing up my "loot." Though it is clear that their emphasis is on spirits and wine, their beer selection is quite formidable and had me drooling like a St. Bernard - inside. If you live in the Atlanta area, you need to pay Mink's at least one visit.

Stopped here while in Atlanta for the day; convenient location off of I75, well marked by a large sign and plenty of parking.

The place is well laid out and spacious; with a sizable section for beer that is well stocked with both locals and more widely distributed regional and national craft brands. The bulk of the floor space is devoted to spirits, with a respectable wine selection as well. They even have a nice selection of cigars (that are reasonably priced at that)

I had very little interaction with the staff; really the only staff that I even saw were at check out, and while friendly enough, were not overly engaging.

Overall this was a nice store with a good selection, and conveniently located.

I stopped by Mink's twice in the last couple days of my visit to Atlanta. It's a fairly big store, wine and liquor take up most of the space. The beer section has a long aisle of beer in a cooler and then two aisles on beer in the open. It has a small, but good section of Belgium's; a nice collection of U.K. beers and then some random other internationals. The micro domestics have a little of everything from major breweries across the States. Widmer, Bridgeport, Stone, Allagash, Duck-Rabbit, Terrapin, Sweetwater, Sierra Nevada, Bells, etc. While they had some of the flagship brews from these breweries, they had even more of their seasonals and special releases. I didn't ask for service, nor did I desire it, but all my interaction with the employees was good. I definitely had no problem finding some great beers to take home.

I recently discovered Mink's after making a wrong turn on Delk Rd. It was a nice discovery indeed! While it is mostly a spirits shop, I think the beer selection will satisfy many beer enthusiasts. They carry a great selection of year round and seasonal releases, both room temp and chilled. The guys in the shop are eager to help customers find what they're looking for and make excellent suggestions as well. They keep a Facebook page updated with information about upcoming releases and news about what they've received.

Since then, I've been back several times. Mink's is now one of my go-to places for beer. Very worth a stop if you're near Exit 261 on I-75.

Minks Package on delk road is astonishing! This is probably one of the best liquor stores I have ever been to. The employees are wonderful and offer amazing service. The beer guys Andy and Matt know there stuff, and can offer any type of feedback on probably every beer in the store. The store is always clean and everyone is very helpful and courteous. I love the selection of brews, it is pretty outstanding. All I have to say is if you are in the atlanta area you should definitely visit this store because it is a MUST!

I was in here about a week ago and picked up some 03 aventinious and a couple bottles of life and limb. I have been going to this location for a while and recently the beer selection had gotten much better and i thought i would put in a review. Its nice to have a place to go and get hard to find beers that isnt downtown. I was surprized to find the life and limb since there were only a few cases in the state, so keep it up minks! maybe get some more sour ales so i dont have to drive downtown anymore!

its been said before but... a diamond in the rough. I'd have to say the best store that I have been to north of 285 (marietta region). Total wine may have more quantity but Mink's has way better quality. Lots of big beers and sometimes some special releases you can only find at green's and hop city. If they could get a little bigger selection I wouldn't bother driving to ATL anymore. If you're a craft beer drinker I highly recommend trying this place. Ask for Andy (their beer guy) he knows his stuff

I love the place - a diamond in the rough and over the years, the neighborhood has become really rough. Never had a problem there, but just lock the car and be mindful. The selection is great and they are expanding (recent updates in 2007 I believe). Lots to choose from that are chilled and many that are non-chilled. Pricing is about average, but for Marietta, this is worth the trip. Staff is ok...friendly at check out and they are good knowing their beverages. The store is somewhat clean, but still lingers of 'eastern block mentality' - just need to see it to believe it. A must see.

This store has a great location if you're a commuter living along the I-75 North corridor. I tend to stop by on my way from the Atlanta airport as I drive back toward Tennessee. The store itself is not too impressive, but the selection is really outstanding. Every time I stop there are a couple more craft brews that I've not seen there before. They also tend to stock the seasonal craft brews from local as well as more distant breweries. Also, they are good at getting in large-volume overstocks of some good brews, with good special pricing to go with it. This is one of the few places I've found some of my favorite Polish lagers as well as less popular but excellent Czech pilsners. And there is always a good selection of Belgian beers and even strong Unibrou brews from Quebec. The wine selection is also pretty good, with some good specials. Overall, a good place to browse and buy.

I was actually not planning on stopping in here, but I actually ended up getting stuck in traffic( in Atlanta, can you believe it?) and pulled off to make a err…rest stop and saw this place right in front of me so I decided to check it out since I wasn’t going anywhere in traffic anyway. A decent enough store, though nothing terribly special. They had pretty much all the standards for the area with a decent selection of Rogue, Avery, Laguinitas, Atlanta Brewing, Sweetwater, etc. Prices seemed alright, nothing really struck me too much. Overall this was an ok stop and if I lived nearby would probably frequent a bit more, nothing worth really driving out of the way for though.
