The Story

Galco's turned an old Italian grocery into the country's best-known bottled soda store — hundreds of small-bottler labels, revived recipes, and a mix-a-six wall that draws pilgrims to Highland Park.

    This place is great. Independently owned, fantastic selection of different drinks, friendly staff, and a fantastic sub sandwich shop in the back. I can wholly recommend people go here and patron them. They are very deserving of it. I try to come back every few months to stock up on new sodas I haven't tried yet.

    This place has been on the map for a large selection of international beers, wines, and sodas. There's even sandwiches, candies, and toys. It's never crowded which means the parking is pretty big and free. Staff is friendly and even the owner is still there working, friendly, and very knowledgeable

    Super friendly and helpful staff and an absolutely amazing selection of rare and hard to find sodas. I thought I knew most root beers out there but they had many I'd never seen before. Lots of cool candy as well.
