We wandered right up to the fridge to see the wines they already had chilled. After just a few seconds of staring up at the fridge with big wide eyes, a very helpful employee walked up and offered to help us. For the next few minutes, she described so many wines well that we wanted them all - but ultimately chose two that would fit in our wine bag. They also had bags of ice (which we needed for our wine bag) and a full liquor store selection (my husband picked up a bottle of bourbon after finding one that he couldn't live without). Our wines were wonderful (one kinda funky orange and one great pet nat), and the service was great as well. A wonderful shop for wine and other booze in Mystic!

Windjammer Wine & Spirits is a decent local package store that fills a useful niche in the area…read more The standout feature here is easily the wine selection--it's surprisingly broad for a smaller shop, with a range that covers everyday bottles, reliable mid‑tier picks, and a few interesting finds you don't always see in neighborhood stores. If you're a wine shopper, this is probably one of the better stops around. The rest of the experience, though, lands squarely in the middle. The staffing is pretty "meh"--not rude, just not particularly engaged or enthusiastic. You can get what you need, but you're not likely to get recommendations, conversation, or that warm, local‑shop feel that makes a place memorable. Pricing is so‑so as well. Nothing outrageous, but nothing that makes you feel like you're getting a great deal either. It's the kind of store where you grab what you need because it's convenient, not because it's the best value in town. Overall, Windjammer is a solid 3‑star stop: reliable, convenient, and especially strong for wine, but with room to improve in service and pricing. A decent local option that could easily shine brighter with a little more attention to the customer experience. Cheers

It does help that I live in the neighborhood, so I may be a little biased. However do I recommend you stop in for some local craft beers if your visiting the area!! Cheers

But I believe this place to be in an identity crisis. They have a lot going on-- a sushi bar. A raw bar. An open kitchen. A regular bar. The menu is very asian inspired/themed, but the inside of the restaurant feels very beachy/east coast vibes. And the dining areas feel "thin" -- like there is a lot of open space. I got the PlayBoy Roll as a starter, and it took about 20 minutes. Which felt kind of long, given how many (little) people were in there. And I was a party of "1" ... BUT, I ate every bite of it, and it was delicious! For my entree, I got the grilled swordfish, which I really enjoyed! But again, it felt like it took too long... It came with a side of pineapple fried rice with microgreens on top (I picked off the microgreens... do they really go ontop of fried rice?), and some broccolini. I imagine that this place is (also) attempting to host large parties/banquets. Feels like they could be set up for that. I just think the entire thing needs a little refinement.

Beer'd Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Stonington, Connecticut in November 2012…read more It was founded by husband and wife Aaron Simoncini and Precious Putnam. After enrolling in a class entitled "Beers of the World" in college, Simoncini became very interested in craft beer and soon began homebrewing. It was during this time that he gained the nickname "Beer'd". Eventually with his now-wife Putnam, Simoncini set out to open his own brewery. The couple set up shop at the Velvet Mill in Stonington. The historic building was originally home to the American Velvet Company, which operated from 1892 to 1996. Today it is a multipurpose building that is home to a thriving community of small businesses and artist studios. When Beer'd originally opened in the mill, they had just a 100-barrel system. The brewery quickly became notable for their small-batch high quality IPAs. In 2018, Beer'd opened a secondary facility at the Airport Business Park in Groton. This new 12,000-sq-ft space expanded their production capacity to 6,000 barrels. An adjoining 60-seat taproom (dubbed "Beer'd Brewing @ The Silo") opened at the Groton facility in January 2020. To differentiate the two taprooms, the original location in Stonington is now often referred to as "Beer'd Brewing @ The Mill". I first visited Beer'd in 2013 (when they were just one of a small handful of breweries in Connecticut), and I've been a huge fan of their beer ever since. They are one of my favorite Connecticut breweries and I have visited them multiple times; they were even a stop on my brewery bus tour bachelor party. I also must point out that Aaron and Precious are lovely people. I recently stopped there while I was in the area. It had been a while since my last visit and there were a few changes. In addition to the original taproom, Beer'd has set up an indoor beer garden in the center of the Velvet Mill. Patrons can enjoy some beer paired with food from one of the mill's many food vendors. Beer'd also set up a designated "Dog Den" for patrons to enjoy a beer if they have furry friends. During this visit, I enjoyed a taster flight that featured "8 Days A Week" (Pale Ale), "Stunner For the Win" (New England IPA), "An Unexpected Upgrade" (Double IPA), and "Heavy Weight-Of-Sound" (Triple IPA). They were all excellent! I plan to continue enjoying Beer'd beers for years to come!
