Arena Wine and Spirits is located... You guessed it, near the NHL/Blue Jackets Arena in downtown…read moreColumbus. This is a bar entertainment district and so as a regulated outlet for spiritous liquors and wine, the store is quite busy. This bodes quite well for retail customers since high volume sales mean more unique inventory flowing through this retailer. It is a great place to find some interesting selections at state regulated pricing. The staff is friendly, and there is an ample parking lot, which usually has some spaces available. In the event the parking lot is full, there are usually some spots on the streets nearby to park. Watch the signage and make sure you're parking in a permissible area and have paid any necessary parking fees.

Serving Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff, and the Tri Village area, as well as OSU/Harrison West/Victorian Village. Offerings includes a full service bakery that can produce custom decorated cakes. Pro tip: try the white cake with cream cheese frosting. These are typically for birthdays, but sometimes you just really want this cake. It is ahhhhhmazing. There is also a state of Ohio liquor store, a large wine, selection, and extensive beers and ales available. Hot foods are prepared here with a deli also among the offerings, and sushi chefs on staff. If you don't want to cook, but you're looking for something to eat there is an answer here. Large produce section just inside the front door, and the meat department has butchers on staff, as well as prepackaged items. Huge dairy department. Regular grocery offerings are of course available in the central zone of the store. There is a pharmacy on site, and a large over-the-counter, non-prescription, and herbal/supplement section in the store. nearby there are fuel pumps at the associated Get-Go location.

They were fairly full when we arrived, but we snagged a two-seater against the wall. There's LIMITED SEATING - so don't plan to come with a group of friends if your intent is to have a few beers at the bar. DO come in a group if you plan on getting food and beers and moving upstairs! We only wanted a couple drinks - and as the crowd was coming and going we didn't want to take up too much space. When I went up to order - they asked if I wanted a plastic cup to go! You can get a beer and peruse the market. Not our end-game this time, as I was planning to build a six-pack. Both ladies working were flying back and forth, taking care of people coming up to the bar, sitting at the bar, and every person that walked up to the register (some people were buying drinks to go, some in cups to walk, and a few people grabbed some of the limited seating present). They have a pretty decent selection of wines and beers available for purchase - some beers on shelves, and a decent selection in a cooler. I had narrowed down to a few choices, and I asked for suggestions and the bartender hopped over and lead the way, and talked about several beers with me (after the usual "what kind of beer do you like? question... which for me is, "yes, please."). She gave me excellent suggestions, and I moved from a 4-pack (you get a discount) to a (more discounts!) 6-pack. They have a GOOD selection for the North Market. It's not the best in the world, and it may not beat a place near where you live, but if you're in the North Market, and you want a good beer and good vibes in a little corner? The Barrel & Bottle has you covered.

This review would've been 5 stars based on my first visit yesterday, when I encountered friendly…read moreand congenial members of the staff who genuinely wanted to help customers find what they were looking for in the store. But after the experience I had today with a person whom I believe to be a manager, that was all soured. I felt accused and accosted personally, but more concerning was that I felt as if this manager was looking for a reason to make other staff members look bad for wanting to help a customer find what they were seeking. I'm a whiskey fan and it's widely known amongst the whiskey community that certain products that aren't available elsewhere are easier to find in the state of Ohio. Naturally I wanted to visit a few shops to see what I could find, and in a tip from a friendly bartender, I visited a store in Lima that shared some info about upcoming allocation release dates and suggested I check in Columbus because they might be releasing them sooner, and that's how I ended up here. We were greeted and welcomed in, and after perusing the shelf I asked for the bottle I hoped to find. A staff member shared that they did not have any currently available, but suggested I check back today (6/21) because it was expected and should be out in the morning after opening. I came in around 10:30am and saw this manager on the phone, having what appeared to be a fairly heated conversation, which abruptly ended when an apparent regular came in to shop. She chatted with him and the asked if I needed help so I asked for the bottle I hoped to find and watched as her demeanor rapidly changed. She snapped back with a short "no. We don't have any." To which I replied "Oh ok. Thank you. I was here yesterday and I as told it may be released today, so I thought I'd check since I can't get it at home." And then I proceeded to walk toward the door. Before I could walk out she quickly said "Sir. Who told you about it?" I said "excuse me?" "Which employee told you about it? They're not supposed to and I need to know for training purposes." The words were believable but the tone of voice said everything I needed to know. I told her I didn't remember, but instead of accepting my answer she continued to ask, and I continued to say I didn't remember. She went on to ask me to identify them by their hair, and eventually by race and I still said I didn't remember, at which point she stopped and let me leave. The whole experience was very uncomfortable and unnecessary. I understand why they want this to remain internal, but no harm came from the employee trying to help me as a customer, and questioning a customer like that did not feel right at all, and as a result I felt I needed to share the experience.

Not too bad for a Kroger liquor store. It has a separate entrance around the corner from the…read moreparking lot. There's a guard and it's self check out but there's someone to help if need be. You just scan your ID at check out and you're on your way. They have your typical liquor store items. Everything from high end spirits to mixers. There's only one other liquor store around and with this one being attached to Kroger, it's very convenient. That said, if you're looking for something special I would go up the street to Market District or the spot in Arena District.

Moldovan wine... Ukrainian beer…read more.. Icelandic beer... Irish mead... Indian beer... Japanese sake... Serbian wine... Polish Beer... Have I piqued your interest? Good, mission accomplished, keep reading... I enjoy sipping on a boozy beverage from time to time and maybe you do too. One of my favorite places to search for new finds is Palmer's, a long time (since 1976) Clintonville favorite. I like this place. It's an adult beverage micro-emporium that markets an interesting mix of beer and wine for the imbibing community. They offer many of the usual standards along with an ever-changing, eclectic mix that's sure to keep most anyone interested. Get to know Emily, the owner / manager / buyer as she's really knowledgeable about their product. She's always helpful and she doesn't have that snobby pretentiousness that you sometimes find in other beer and wine stores. Let's talk about the wine first. You'll find French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chilean, Argentine and American wines here. If you're looking for something that's unique ask Emily about their selection of Moldovan, Serbian or Georgian (the country, not the state) wines. These wines are hidden gems, IE quite good but hard to find. So, if you're looking to impress someone... We need to talk about the beer too. Of course, Palmer's has all the popular North American favorites, but I generally check them out for their interesting selection of microbrews and imports. Palmer's rotates a diverse range of brews from places like: Ireland, England, Scotland, Poland, Mexico, Iceland, Germany, India and yes, even Dayton Ohio, to name just a few. They never stock up heavily on their microbrews and imports so if you see it, you want it, you might want to buy it because it's probably not going to be there next time you visit. I highly recommend this place. 5 very solid stars. And Here's A Little Extra Pour In Your Glass: ** Palmer's is perfectly located. You'll find India Oak Bar and Grill where you can find some of the best subs in Cbus just across the street, Rodo's European restaurant right next door and two great pizza places just up Indianola, Dante's Pizza and Gatto's Pizza. Food and drink all in one convenient spot. What's not to like? ** Wine makes a great gift for birthdays, housewarming, family dinners, holidays, hostess gift or even just a simple appreciation gift. ** Palmer's will give you a 10% discount when you buy 6 or more bottles of wine.

Friendly service is another reason it's better. The prices aren't that bad especially for an independent store. Because it's a smaller place, it doesn't have as much on hand as big stores carry. It makes up for it by having more craft and local. The selection actually is pretty good when looking at how many harder to find brands are in stock. Prices are good. These are comparable with other local stores. It carries a lot of name brands. They also have harder to find varieties of these brands, like stuff that comes out seasonally. It often gets mentioned by many amateur and professional critics alike as the best beer store in Columbus. Prices and the friendly knowledgeable staff have much to do with it. The other reason is the selection they have for an independently owned local store.

It has the same ownership the similarly named store on High Street has. Sammy is better than the average convenience store owner. This location is the better one because it has the Exotic Latino Grill truck. An important thing to know is the truck doesn't sell beverages because of an agreement with the store. You have to go inside the store to get a beverage. It has some great choices like Jarritos and Mexican Coke. The only bad thing is the location. It's on Hudson Street in an area known for crime. The area is fairly safe if you go early. I usually go to 14-0 Carryout and get something from the food truck. It's not a good area so go earlier. They got Mexican soft drinks, with a good beer selection and a limited amount of wine.
