Raise your hand if you remember when Mason's was a few blocks down, inside of a converted bank -…read morewhere they'd have cool special events (like wine tastings) taking place in the old vaults from time to time. The odd thing about the current location: as you walk in it seems like a lot of the shelves are kind of empty ("Hey, maybe they're going out of business?") but then you start to take a slow stroll down the aisles and realize they have a ridiculous amount of (quality) stuff. Beers, wines, and liqueurs that you probably haven't seen or heard of before. The pricing is on par for competing liquor stores. They have a (awkward) parking lot which can be a lifesaver in this part of town. If you forced me to Sophie's Choice I'd say Rutherford Wine Shoppe is the overall better place (I mean... Mason's opening an hour later than RWS is the sole reason I don't get over this way that much) but Mason's is a damn fine spot for sure. Na zdrowie!

One time asked the male owner if he had more of a certain beer and he replied "I don't think so" and left it at that.

More importantly, the guy running the store was super rude. He didn't want to get off his phone to ring anyone up. He got short with someone who simply asked if he had a specific beer, saying that he was closing the store an hour early and wanted to get out, all while another customer was waiting at the counter for an extended duration. So glad I had enough bourbon with me in my hotel room that I didn't need to spend more than 2.5X the retail cost for a halfway decent bottle. Gives me enough time to go to another store that isn't going to try to price gouge.

He is pleasant, courteous, kind, and helpful and will strike up friendly conversation with his customers. He will even try to procure various items for you that he doesn't have in stock. This nice touch keeps me coming back.
