As a general rule, liquor stores with bars attached to them are seedy places. Such hovels usually stock the cheapest booze for a rough clientele, grizzled drunks who lurk from sun-up to closing time and then stagger out with a six-pack. This general rule does not apply to Cal's, a warm and inviting liquor store/bar. Cal, a gruff looking fellow with a thick, gray, old-timey moustache will likely be there, should you stop by. He seems to have quite a harem of regular customers, too. One out-of-breath guy burst in and gasped, "Cal, you wouldn't happen to have any plastic shot glasses, would ya?" Cal let out an ambiguous grunt.

The small bar to the rear of the place boasts live music and, perplexingly, wireless Internet access. The liquor store is open 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday. The bar's hours are subject to change, so a quick call ahead is advised.
