Not to completely disagree with other reviewers, but there are better booze shops, and better…read moreCanal's. This one is not affiliated with the much better one located on Rt 1 in Lawrenceville, though based on the same names, one might imagine it to be. Even though this store is large enough, I do not consider the selection to be all that it could be. I've been in smaller shops that have a much more varied beer selection. Especially refrigerated single bottles for when you need them right away. The wines are arranged by country and region, but not efficiently, the signage could be improved to make shopping for them easier. There are multiple case displays that have no rhyme or reason. You really just have to wander around looking at each choice. This may be a marketing ploy, but for me it makes things confusing, so I usually only get one or two bottles max. Prices are ok, but by shopping around you will notice that there are better prices elsewhere. They are aware of this fact too, and for people who live nearby they send out 20% off coupons in the local mailers. I've never had an issue with customer service here, but do find it annoying that if I want a bottle of Scotch, I have to wait for someone to unlock the case. Good spot for locals, or those passing by. Not a place I come to when I want to stock up. 3.5 bottles

They mail 10% discount coupons. I presented one when buying a bottle of wine. They refused to honor…read moreit - said it wasn't discountable because their profit margin was too low on that item. I asked the "manager" where it said on the coupon that Canal's wouldn't honor it if they weren't making enough on it. He just kept repeating that it was nondiscountable. This was a regular priced item, not a sale item. I have bought that bottle (BV chardonnay) many times in the past. Now it's "nondiscountable." I've had a few other quirky transactions at Canal's, but this is the limit.

I think this is a first for me, a second update for a total of 3 reviews of the same business. And…read more2021 seems to be a year for updates as well. I can thank a global pandemic for renewing and invigorating my interest in fine spirits, and this shop in particular for having a depth of variety not found elsewhere in Hamilton or neighboring towns. Lately my drink of choice has been wine and cocktails, but previously and during the height of Covid, I became immersed in sours and ciders. This place has both in abundance, in fact I don't think it's possible to try all of them, as they keep getting new ones in. My trip today to find a new sour proved fruitful( pun intended) but also time consuming. I have learned from experience that it's helpful to bring my reading glasses with me, there's just so much new stock to view and labels seem smaller every year. Along with old favs I saw a number of new sours and settled on the lesser of 2 pricey options. I may have gone with the pricier one had there been someone with experience of the brewery and firsthand knowledge of its pedigree. That will probably haunt me until I go back and shell out the $ to try it myself;) I also took some time today to peruse the Scotch selection, which is also a favorite of mine in cooler weather. That is what prompted me to update this. It may not be the biggest of known shops to me, but the prices are amazing. I noticed that some of those items are on sale. There is no clear signage except for a small shelf tag which on some items show previous price. The specific item I was pricing was about $5 less than a place I thought was the lowest, this item was not on sale either. It appeared to be very nice gift boxy bottles from last holiday that were $10 or more off of the original. I'm definitely going back to take advantage of at least one of those. I also spent more time in the wine aisles. Again great prices on some of the more upscale but still widely available Ca wineries. I think the selection is very good but again not quite as good as Canals. However I think they will match or beat most prices. Customer service in general is very good, esp at the checkouts. I think having a wine/ and or beer expert around at all times would be beneficial to this store. I asked again while at the register and was told he would be in later in the day. So it seems that this is a q they get and there is an expert on hand some of the time. It's also cool that they have food trucks around on the weekends. There are in store tastings too which I've not had a chance to try. Definitely my favorite liquor store by far for this extended area. Thanks for carrying so much local and craft brew items!

This store is always well stocked and prices are very good. They have a growler station with…read morerotating taps. Their craft beer selection is one of the biggest I've ever seen. They have impressive selection of wines that are organized well and span the gamut of price ranges. Today was an interesting trip. I picked up a mobile order at the IHOP just a minute down the road and decided I would stop into Buy Rite and stock up as the governor of New Jersey was set to make a big announcement related to the COVID-19 outbreak which I expected to follow suit of NY where non-essential business would have to close. Upon entering the store I was taken back by the long line of people with the same idea. I knew I probably shouldn't be out and surrounded by this many people but I was taking all the precautions and had my trusty bottle of Trader Joe's hand sanitizer spray in my side pocket. What scared me a bit at this location was the lack of precautions taken by this store. People leaving the store and passing along baskets and carts to other customers with nobody wiping them down. Employees without gloves or masks. No sign of wipes or hand sanitizer anywhere. All in all, this is still a good spot to stock up on booze, wine, and craft beer, or even fill your growler but I won't return until this pandemic is over, even if it remains open.

Came in for the first time and let me tell ya, I think we found our new go-to purveyor of spirits!!…read more The store is more spacious and has a better selection than the stores to which I've been in Fieldsboro and Bordentown. More importantly, the prices were MUCH lower. For example, a bottle of Bogle essential red blend (yes, I drink blends) was $9.09 here, where at places 3 miles down the road it'll run $12-14. Another example, we tried a bottle from Josh cellars, which used to be a good value but has become overpriced and overhyped. Some fancy bourbon barrel aged one that other stores have for $22 - it ran 17.99 here. The icing on the cake was the clerk kindly assisted in bringing the box out to our car! Haven't had service like that since I lived in the south. There's a decent looking spirits and beer selection as well, although I didn't really make note of the prices in those departments tonight. Also of note, they do have chilled wines available (why wait?) and ice if you need it. Parking space is plenty and the store wasn't mobbed at 5 pm on a Saturday but a steady flow. It's on 206 south near the bordentown shoprite, so you'll have to navigate a famous jersey jug handle coming from the south. We will be back!

Absolutely fantastic! We celebrated our son's college graduation here, and I cannot say enough good…read morethings about the fantastic food and service we received at Genaro's. The ambience is smart casual, and not fussy, but with food and service that you'd expect at a place that charges double the prices. All of the food was top notch. Standouts are the artichoke heart Francese, mozzarella en corrozza, and fried calamari appetizers; and chicken Italiano, chicken marsala, and salmon Neapolitan mains. Their tiramisu and tartufo capped off the meal perfectly. If you're in Trenton or Princeton, Gennaro's is worth the drive.

Disclaimer : This review is based on a take out order…read more I selected the Veal Sorrentino. The Veal Sorrentino sounded mouth watering by the ensemble cast of ingredients listed on the menu (prosciutto, eggplant, mozzarella, light marinara-white wine). Overall, this dish was very disappointing, I couldn't taste any flavor in the meal. Once again, the spaghetti from an Italian restaurant was lackluster as well, this is like ordering a wonton soup from a Chinese restaurant and it not meeting your expectations. We tried a gluten free pizza as well, my girlfriend enjoyed it. I can only describe the pizza being almost like a cracker. This is not neccessary a bad thing but think flatbread pizza, not the type of pizza where you get a nice chewy bite. At $50+ plus dollars between the two items I can say I am glad I gave it a shot but I would not bring home take out from here again, I would give it a try in person though and reevaluate after the experience. As always people SYOY!!!
