No place in the seven-county metro area has needed a swell wine, beer and spirits store more than Lowertown. Enter Revival Wine Beer & Spirits, helmed by one of the savviest wine buyers in town, Jeff Huff. This clean and serene space fits deftly into the Pioneer Endicott Building's glorious architecture, with a hella-cool railroad cart and old tables that customers regularly inquire about buying. Alas, the only salable wares are an array of items in the store's name, with most wines coming in under $20. 141 E. 4th St., Ste. 220, St. Paul; 651-340-1432;
