This store is busy due to its location and the owner has put no money into this store in years it's pretty gross inside. The carpet is so dirty fixtures are falling apart and the selection of wine is terrible. NJ is behind the times with its old outdated liquor license laws that allow this to happen.

Love that they have a large selection of craft bomber bottles also a lot of sours. They also offer six packs that you can mix and match for craft beers. Large wine and liquor selection as well.

I don't understand if you have customers in front of you make them feel welcomed not un-welcomed. Well lesson learn def won't go back here.

I moved into the area about six months ago and I have a liquor store about five blocks from my…read morehouse. However, I choose to drive almost a mile and half to Hillcrest instead. Why? First of all, the husband and wife that own this place are ALWAYS cheerful and care how their customers are doing, regardless of whether they're buying one beer or a $100+ bottle of Johnny Walker. Plus, for a small store, they have a huge selection of wines, liquors and beers (as well as snacks that run the gamut from commonplace to those you would only find in another country). If you need something from the fridge, just ask and the owner will run in there and get it for you. And every time I've needed a recommendation for a good wine, he's been quick to offer up a suggestion for something that never breaks the bank, yet always goes over well with the people I'm picking it up for. This place is truly one of the gems of Paterson!

My first experience with Total Wines was over in West Orange…read more Then I started to cheat on West Orange with their River Edge location. Now, once again, I find myself straying... sorry River Edge but Totowa's making me weak in the knees. Lots of aisles. Lots of product on those shelves. Lots of space between the rows so you and your fellow shoppers aren't at risk of bumping into each other with your carts. If you've been to a Total Wines before - you know how it goes... they're usually the size of an old Toys R Us but aimed at adults looking to waste, I mean spend, money on booze (or cigars, which seem to have a serious fanbase the few times I've been here). I've found some new/unique imported beers as well as a few interesting organic wines at this location that I never saw at their other stores. [Every Total Wines location is a bit of a drive for me but worth the mileage.]

This review is purely based of of craft beer selection, so proceed with caution. For the area you…read moreliterally can't beat the craft beer selection here. From the outside this place looks like a typical big beer place where the best 'craft' beer you're going to find is Sam Adams and then you walk in and feel pretty much the same way. It isn't until you turn that corner to the craft beer selection and the trumpets of the craft beer saviors welcome you to the un holy land. Only caveat here is the staff don't seem to know too much about craft beer. Which is ok because I don't need help but when j asked if they get any Referend beer he said he's never heard of them. It's ok though I left happy with some good beer in tow. Oh and I went to buy mezcal and they don't carry any mezcal here and tried to sell me tequila, which isn't the same thing (sort of). Salud!

This place is gotten so much better I had some really bad experiences there a few years ago and…read morestopped going but I guess they got an entire new staff because they are wonderful now. Their beer selection on for craft beer drinkers is great. Some hard to find stuff at decent prices. They seem to have a lot of great wines as well. The younger gentlemen that is always there is a pleasure always makes me laugh with a joke. It can be a little uncomfortable at night if you are a woman going in alone because some creepy guys hang out at the bar there but I just get in and out.
