This place has my heart wrapped in its warm hometown hands…read more On any given Sunday you can find me crackin' cold ones with the boys at this place....the beer garden next door is like the garage with my uncles! They have a really good beer selection, albeit a small one. They have what can only be a 'select' variety of choices. You can speak with the chaps and chapettes at the counter for all kinds of knowledgeable answers for everything they have in stock. As for the restaurant next door, it's a good little spot! The kitchen is decent enough to pop out some tasty dishes. My sister and I grabbed a burger there once. it wasn't too bad. But I am here for the beer and the cozy vibes. I've seen folks bring dogs, small children (it's a quiet spot, it doesn't scream family friendly) and older folks too. I love the Greeks, really I do. Just keep in mind, the next few years there is some kind of living complex being built directly across the street of this quaint tiny little town. Expect things to change. Ya best appreciate this place the way it is! They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

If you want to shop a little longer you can find free 2-hour street parking on Ellsworth which is a block south of Washington.

Plenty of refrigeration means they are drinkably cold, and the prices are fair. Once I fussed about them being out of Bell's Two Hearted, and now there is a seemingly limitless supply, stacked up like the Great Pyramid of Cholula. It is a little sad that the building used to be a US Post Office, like some sort of backwards adaptive reuse reflecting the decline of the neighborhood. I guess they got DOGE-d before that was a thing.

It's not a warehouse so you can find your beer relatively easily unless you don't know what you like. They have he beer out on display and it's chill inside so refrigeration isn't mandatory although they do have an area with refrigerated beer They have what I want every time. The beer selection is superb. They even have a pail as you exit to trade one of your bottles for a bottle already there. This way you don't have to buy a 12 pack you don't like. That's totally awesome Here I learned that there's a law coming down that will allow 6 packs of beer to be sold. That's great especially since I'm not from Philadelphia and I thought it odd that I had to buy a 12 pack of beer when I only wanted a 6 pack.

I'd been…read moreholding off for a while opting for other places thinking that these guys would be charging arm and a leg more for the convenience of a drive through spot. I couldn't have been more wrong. This place was very competitive with the other places in town and had a great selection. As you can see from the pics there are all sorts of specials. What drew me in was the Advertised case of Harpoon for $27.99 plus tax. Sure enough that was the price for any harpoon case! Was very pleased with my experience. The only downside was I was a little rushed and you have to make your choice relatively fast because of the way they do business.

That is no longer the case. Great beer variety (and for the most part the cheapest in the neighborhood), an extremely friendly and helpful staff, and a tapped keg on hand for you to quench your thirst, plus they even hooked up a charity event I was just part of with discount beer. If the surplus of beers of all kinds isn't enough to make this a cool spot for you, perhaps the owner's customer appreciation days will do it. A couple times a year (with advanced notice) Javies has CADs, wherein booze is offered to help you enjoy the games held there (beer pong/flip cup style festivities). As an added bonus, in the short time leading up to the party, every time you buy beer you get a raffle ticket for a chance to win some of that cool promotional swag the brewers unload on them, then the day of, the drawings are held until there is no gear left. They also do a reward program with spending eventually equaling discounts, but I have yet to take advantage of it so I don't know the ins and outs. ***Added 2/19/11*** Yesterday Mama Nature fluked out a spring-time-in-winter afternoon with 69 degree weather (third warm day in a row), and that meant many of the local spots that try to save money by shutting off their coolers for the season were selling lukewarm suds (Worldwide, Speedy's). We came here and were able to grab a case of forties (which those others seem to no longer carry) cold because the ice boxes were still pumpin' that arctic air. Added June 2012 THEY DELIVER!

Has the full range of Philadelphia area brewery cases, though none cold. No microbrewery cases that I could see. All prices were excellent. The guy behind the bulletproof shield was friendly and quite helpful with price-checking.
