Jerry Blakey
More than fifteen years have passed since Jerry Blakey took ownership of Lowertown Wine and Spirits. As President and Owner of Lowertown Wine and Spirits, Jerry has had a long career. He has won numerous awards throughout his career. During the year 2018, the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association honored Lowertown Wine and Spirits by naming it the best liquor store in the state of Minnesota. His family, trying out new products for the store (which is not considered work), and his classic automobiles are the things that he devotes his time and attention to while he is not working.
An early adopter of the Lowertown neighborhood boom nearly 10 years ago, Lowertown Wine & Spirits is that fascinating cross-section of connoisseurship and here-comes-a-regular friendliness. If you’re just stopping in to get a 40 of Mickey’s, a case of Natty Ice, or a sixer of Summit, you might find yourself blindsided by just how eclectic its selection is. Nearby Barrio, Bulldog, and Black Dog patrons looking to follow up on their latest beverage discoveries can find plenty to like here: The list of craft beers is nearly a hundred strong, the tequila selection is wide-ranging, and the wine collection is a local favorite both for its breadth and price.
If you’re ever looking for recommendations or suggestions, owner-operator Jerry is as knowledgeable and amiable as they come. Once the new Saints Ballpark and Central Corridor light rail are complete, this place will be even more of a destination and a clear example of how shopping locally can give rise to an enviable success story.
Lowertown is the oldest part of Saint Paul. The area’s name comes from the fact that it was originally the lower landing on the Mississippi River, providing the first port of access to the Twin Cities from the river. From the 1800s to the 1920s, a variety of warehouse, railroad, banking, and distribution centers served a bustling community of commerce in Lowertown. Over time, many of these buildings fell into disrepair and disuse.
Lowertown Wine & Spirits is found at the end of the Green Line, just past the Union Depot stop on East 4th Street, between Wall and Wacouta streets.
That began to change in the 1970s, when civic and private investment began to transform unoccupied warehouses, parking lots, and the non-operational Union Depot into use again. Today, the area features a variety of retail businesses, apartments, condominiums, and entertainment destinations, many of which center around the arts—hence the term “Artist District.”
The Lowertown Artist District Green Line station is located at the Union Depot. The Union Depot, now restored to its 1920s splendor, is also home to the Twin Cities Amtrak station and an extensive network of buses, such as Jefferson Lines, Greyhound, and the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority.
