Where can we buy liquor and wine in Fairbanks?

[cruisingmimi]

We will be flying into Fairbanks in July and my sister would like to purchase liquor and/or wine in Fairbanks so we don't have to pack it in our suitcases.

 

We are staying at the Westmark Hotel so wondered if anyone can tell us where the closest liquor store would be. Hopefully, there must be one near the Westmark. Our flights do not arrive in Fairbanks until 8:00 pm so don't know how far the hotel is from the airport. We would probably not get to our hotel and check in until 9ish.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I am sure we won't find a liquor store in Denali! LOL

looks like Thrifty Liquor is the closest, but read the review...http://maps.google.com/maps?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7GGIE_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=fairbanks+liquor+store&fb=1&gl=us&hq=liquor+store&hnear=Fairbanks,+AK&ei=k8UPTPKTGsH88AaR_YnOCA&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCsQtgMwAA

You might as well take the bus or a taxi to Freds, Sams, or Walmart, as you will then have an opportunity to pick up groceries, snacks, and souveniers as well.
