BEST BEER SELECTION: RETAIL

Otto's
3476 N. Oakland Ave.
961-1383

The Otto’s chain of liquor stores has one of its most popular locations at this site near the UW-Milwaukee campus. The friendly staff is more than happy to help customers work their way through its voluminous liquor and beer selection. If you can't find something at Otto's, it probably isn't available locally. Even better, the products are reasonably priced and the store is always fully stocked. (D.S.)
