I met Marvin way back in about 1975, when I was selling for a local distributor. I walked in, took…read morea look around and thought, "At last! I get to call on a real good store!!!" I've been friends with him ever since. Marvin has spent his life collecting special wines, beers and spirits. If you are talking with him and he rubs his hands together and says, "Hold on a minute.", then he heads down into the cellar, you will be offered something so very special. I've been in CA for 35 years now and I did see him a couple times along the way. He is in my thoughts and memories and, if I'm in CT, it's always worth a visit to see my good friend, Marvin!

Great little Restaurant in the center of town. Seems like a hidden gem. Not sure why this place is…read morenot busier. The food was great. Our bartender was very friendly. The restaurant is very cozy and comfortable. They had a singer with live music in the lounge area. I highly recommend people start supporting these local businesses so we don't lose them. We had the baked burrata special, fish and chips, and a burger. Everything was cooked perfectly and we had no complaints.

One word, INCONSISTENT! I called to place an order, the Marry Me Pasta with shrimp. ($30) I asked…read moreif garlic bread comes with the meal and the girl stated"yes" I even confirmed that there would be no up charge and she stated "yes". I used to go weekly to this place and I know they had some hiccups at the beginning, hence my questions while ordering. I get there and they're trying to charge me for a full sized garlic bread. I reiterated what was stated to me over the phone and the manager or owner that was there refused to honor what their staff had stated over the phone. They said they had no problem keeping the bread.... Save yourselves the time and energy and DO NOT come here! Prices are never consistent and now their customer service is less than satisfactory.

If you're a sour lover, Witch Doctor Brewing Company is absolutely worth the visit. Their sour…read moreflights are yummy, and perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring different flavor profiles without committing to just one glass The vibe here is great. It's laid-back but still lively, with dart boards and games that make it easy to settle in and stay awhile. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, laugh, and not feel rushed. They also have a bunch of different events which they lost in the walls and change each week. One of my favorite things about it is the flexibility with food. You can bring your own, which already makes it a win, but they also take have QR codes you can scan and have food delivered right to your table from nearby restaurants. It's such a seamless setup and honestly makes the whole experience even better. All around, this spot nails the balance between great drinks and a genuinely fun atmosphere. Perfect for a casual night out, meeting up with friends, or just switching up your usual brewery routine. Definitely a go-to. Ive been a few times and I'll definitely be going back.

A gorgeous space. 5 Churches also has a pizza oven, although I haven't tried their food. When I visited, I ordered a 4 beer flight with an American style IPA, an Imperial IPA, a Das Froot Blueberry Pancake Sour, and a Mashacre Imperial Stout. The Blieberry Pancake as a sour was well executed and tasty. Great color, density and mouthfeel too. The other beers were accurately described and pretty good. Would definitely return to check out more beer. 4 Stars

I've had a…read morelot of places give me a hard time because they don't sell whatever beer brand I have at that store. Oddly enough, I've even had the town of Wolcott deny some of my bottle returns at their redemption center. Reason being the bottles were from Germany and the writing on my bottles weren't in "American". That was my plan, you see. To get bottles from The European Union and bankrupt America five cents at a time. Crazy Bruce's has never given any such issue so they get my business from time to time. They run excellent specials on Seasonal beer items that have just past the season. They also have a really good selection of local beers from the area.

The other day I was looking for an Australian wine recommended by someone else, and an employee was able to direct me right to it, and was knowledgeable about the different types that if offered. This has always been my experience with the employees - nice, attentive, and knowledgeable.

When you enter, you're always greeted by the friendly woman who owns the store. It's everything you'd expect from a New England packy- dim lighting, smells like Grandma's basement, cramped with little floor space, but still fully stocked with liquors, wine, and beer. A lot of the beer is refrigerated, which is always great. If I ask for nippers, they always ask if I'd like them cold. They go above and beyond to make sure I have everything I want before I leave- even if it means digging around for something that hasn't yet been stocked. The prices are comparable with other small-business package stores, so if you're traveling in the area, I very much recommend K&S for your liquor needs.
