I came in to buy some Bulleit whiskey. There were 2 different types, one was a bourbon, and the other one was a rye. I didnt see anyone working in the store, so I went up to the counter to get help. The lady was up in the booth and said," Are you ready?" and I said yes. She came down to the counter and I politely asked her what was the difference between the Bulleit Bourbon and the Bulleit Rye. Her response was, " One is a bourbon and the other one is a rye". I cannot make this up. I asked her if she knew how they taste and she said no with a resting you know what face. Awesome customer seervice.....Not! Never going back there. She had dread hair and tatoos. Instead of being smug to your customers, you should help them out. read more

I've been coming to J's since I was a kid and they've always been the best in town.

If you ask for any sort recommendation, you're going to be pleasantly surprised! Greg's hair is real nice. read more

I am lucky to have found this incredible place. Load this place up with your business... You will not be disappointed. read more

Good selection on whiskey, however, it appears they boost prices +/- 150% on bottles that receive a high rating or becomes popular. I dont mind some increases to stem demand/supply, but for a retailer to charge 2nd market prices, then it is just gauging. read more

This place is convenient (although the parking can get a little sticky), the staff is friendly and the selection is great. Looking forward to their upcoming expansion. Currently the growler station is in the convenience store next door but with that moving across the parking lot it will all be in J's which will be great! Hopefully parking wont be an issue. read more
