Shop. Drink. Relax.

Located in Cresco, Iowa


Come visit our local gift and liquor store. A fun shop born out of sibling rivalry. The ox in our logo represents Aaron Wemark the audacious younger brother who was aspired to transform the long-standing Cresco Liquor Store into a unique specialty shop for his older sister Maria Larson (the wren) to fill with all her treasures. It's one of those things where you kinda have to know them to get it. We feature a weekly beer tasting show on our Facebook Page called, "Beers from the Wrens Nest."
