La Primera Fruit, Liquor and Meat

Best known as a one-stop shop for Edgewater locals, there’s actually a surprisingly solid wine selection here. Savers and spendthrifts alike should find at least a bottle or two to please, while beer drinkers get a solid lineup of domestic craft beers, including Goose Island hits such as Sofie and Matilda, as well as Three Floyds faves. Employees earn points with regulars for setting aside limited releases upon request, and since La Primera flies a little under the radar, you won’t have to knock anyone over trying to beat other boozehounds to the punch.
