    Barley Hopsters might be the coolest thing in this city. It's certainly the best beer selection. The store is also a bar so you can drink there. It has lots on tap including some local breweries. The coolers have lots of single serving bottles or cans. If you're expecting some small town carryout, that isn't what this is. It has the usual stuff along with many crafts. The draft list has something like 50 different ones. A lot of them are national brands but not all. There's a few local breweries like Platform. If you can't find anything to your liking among the drafts you can get something from the coolers. There's tons of individual bottles or cans and many you've never heard of. I will make sure the next time in Delaware to get something from Barley Hopsters. It's better than you would expect from something in kind of a backwards town like it. The price is pretty good and it can't be beat with its selection.

    Here's what I love about Barley Hopsters: *Huge beer selection. Much bigger than you'd find in a bar. *Expanded seating in the new location, including an actual bar area. *It's largely self-serve, so I can spend as much time as I want dawdling over what beer I want (and I can dawdle with the best of 'em). *It's in a cool spot. I kind of love downtown Delaware for a day away from the city. *I've always gotten good service. It's not gushingly over-friendly because I mean, they're not bartenders and they're not living off of tips. That's fine with me, I like low-key places. *It's low-key. *The bathrooms are UPSTAIRS now! Just a few nits that keep it from being 5 stars: *People, I understand if you're just running in to grab beer/wine/supplies and you've got your kids with you.. but I mean, for all intents and purposes, Barley Hopsters is a bar. Someone was hanging out there the other day and had their kids with them the *whole time*; said kid was, of course, bored out of her mind and running around getting in everyone's way. It is not an appropriate place to hang out with children. *The TV is loud. *The pathways seem a bit crowded, and the flow isn't that great when it's busy. Found that out when we went the Saturday before St Patrick's Day and it was mobbed with people doing a scavenger hunt.

    Amazing local hot spot for meeting friends, drinking or getting some special drinks to go. Great ownership and lineup of activities.

    Chateau Wine and Spirits to the rescue! But for real. It was Thanksgiving afternoon and my family…read moresuddenly had a craving for a cocktail. Unfortunately, we didn't have any of the ingredients needed to make it fun, if you know what I mean. We searched Yelp and found this spot rather close by. We decided to give it a try and were stoked to find that they were open... and busy at that. They had a great inventory of wine, liquor, beer, etc. and had exactly what we needed, prosecco, schnapps, vodka and fruit puree. I'll also add that despite how busy they were, the staff was great. They helped us find what we were looking for while we wandering around aimlessly trying to find the goods. Prices were right on money, too. I don't live in the area, but my sister does, and I have no doubt we'll be back when need be. #grateful

    I went here because their reviews were very high. I am guessing they do a good job with allocated…read morestuff because I wasn't overly impressed. They have a good selection of stuff (I am a bourbon and cocktail person) but nothing amazing. What really frustrated me was around payment. They charge a fee if you use a card: their prices are the same as other stores who do not charge a fee to use a card. Anyways, I used a debit card and found out, after, I was charged a fee. They did offer to refund my charge and I could pay with cash but I did not have enough cash on me. In my experience, this is the ONLY store I have EVER been charged a fee for using a debit card or credit card. It just feels greedy.
