Happened to be in the neighborhood so stopped in...oddly smelled exactly the same. It seemed smaller for some reason, kinda like going back to your high school.

The only liquor store I go to. The owners/managers are always extremely nice. The store is clean,…read moreorganized and well lit. Unlike other stores, every item is clearly labeled so no fun price surprises at the cash register. They have a very good selection of beer, and if they don't have what you're looking for, they will order it for you! They also gave me a 10% discount for ordering a case. The Belgian beer I get is 5 cents more across the street at Trader Joes (big whoop) but the 20 minutes Of peace I gain by not having to venture into that madness and wait in line is priceless:) plus trader joe's only has but 1 flavor.

This is when he speaks to me for the first time since the start of the transaction and states "you just hit the credit button". Instead of canceling the sale on his end, or instructing me how to cancel the sale on my end he let the sale go through and did not give me the option for a refund. Wish I could give 0 stars. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Another plus- the guy who is always working there befriended me after my second visit and now always asks how I'm doing, if I'm going out tonight etc etc. Nice guy, I just hope he doesn't think I'm an alcoholic because of the frequency of my visits :)

I wish I could give this a 0 stars rating. First of all, it's ridiculously over priced here. But…read morethat's not even the worst part. Yesterday, and again today my friend went here to purchase alcohol. The first time we went there they accepted her ID, (a New York state ID that is valid, but not a driver's license), but told her she would need to bring a different ID next time because it looked fake. She's turning 22 this May, so we obviously found this ridiculous, because they took my New Jersey state license just fine. Yesterday, the SAME employee REJECTED her ID, claiming he couldn't sell to her because it was fake. He was going to take it until my friend had to THREATEN to call the cops (because yeah, it's illegal to seize and destroy real ID's). Today, my friend went in with her state ID, passport, and ORIGINAL COPY OF HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and she was STILL REFUSED. They claimed all of the documents were faked, and that they would sell to her if she was a man because it's "easier to tell when men are 21." Needless to say, the employees that work at this establishment were frankly sexist assholes, and I am NEVER shopping at this store again, nor the Star Market attached. I'm genuinely disgusted with how my friend was treated, the poor quality of customer service, and the outright lies the employees were saying. Do they even realize how f-ing difficult it is to forge birth certificates and passports? Clearly they're not well trained to spot fakes versus reals, or they were just being assholes. Whoever is the hiring manager of this establishment clearly doesn't know how to hire reliable and intelligent individuals. Congratulations, you've lost not only TWO customers, but all of our friends that we're currently telling about this horrific treatment.

There are seriously, seriously good beer selections that rotate (because they always try to get limited-run, rare stuff - and it runs out) and awesome wine stocked too. Ask Mike (look for the beard) for a recommendation and watch his face light up while he asks you your preferences and tailors his response. His knowledge is encyclopedic and his enthusiasm is infectious. He really makes the place special. Hard to reconcile these other reviews calling the place pretentious. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Michael. Michael is simply a genius when it comes to wine and the insights that he shares with his customers are fascinating and incredibly helpful. I've walked away each time with a greater appreciation and understanding of wine in general, and have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. This has quickly become my "go-to" store and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgable as Michael. Importantly, you'll walk out knowing you made a quality purchase without having exceeded your budget, and that's always a recipe for success. Go, and ask for Michael - you won't regret it.
