Jeff this owner is a super nice guy and equally as knowledgeable. Upon entering and asking about a specific beer he dropped what he was going to help me. From the greeting to the check out the customer service was AMAZING! It is a "gas station" but the main focus is craft beer. The entire building is really really clean inside and out. They do have gas and other normal gas station items such as snacks and cigarettes. Jeff prices all craft beer reasonably and will even take requests to order items. He has everything from single 12 ounces to bombers. Very impressive selection. I will definitely will be a returning customer as well telling all of my friends about this craft beer gem.

Prices were a little…read morehigher than what I would have paid in Chicago, but around what I guess counts for being downtown. From what I could see, there was a nice selection to purchase across wines, beers and hard liquors. They also sell lotto tickets if you are into that. Got three bottles of Yellowtail sparkling rose, which is good for just drinking while watching Game of Thrones in the room. While they had Chandon and Mumm, I didn't get those. I don't know what the stock rotation situation is, but it has been my experience that stores might not sell a Chandon or Mumm as readily as a Yellowtail, Frexinent or Barefoot. Don't want to drop $60-80 on something that may be corked, especially since the bottles aren't on their sides. Also, the Chadon and Mumm had some dust on them, the Yellowtail and Barefoot did not....guessing that they had not been sitting on the shelf as long. I will know when I pop the bottle later today. If I need more, it is good to know there are bubbles in walking distance.

Pictures do not do this place justice…read more It will likely be the biggest alcohol mecca you've ever shopped in. The only place I've ever found that comes close are the largest of Chicago's Binny's, and even then, Party Source was bigger. It's huge. It's (literally) right over the Cincinnati/Kentucky river and is legally Kentucky, so it has a wider selection than Ohio's controlled liquor laws, BUT the price can occasionally be higher here as well. They're employee-owned, though, so if it comes between buying something at Wal-mart or here....I know what I'm doing. They have a wide selection (though they don't always have everything we're looking for), and there are very rarely any stock holes. I can always check online to see if they have something - though the prices in-store are usually lower than the prices they list online. Whether they have an item (or not) has always matched up with their online listings, though. Their big claim to fame are their events. Their "free tastings!" events were some of the largest I've ever been to. They also have a small section full of party supplies (tableclothes, etc.). I'd guess they must sell enough of it, or they'd have swapped it out to more alcohol selections instead. They have a gigantic wine selection. Their beer selection is solid and even has a full aisle of single cans for tasting things. They tend to get huge seasonal offerings, too, if you're someone who likes limited releases. They have a few entire aisles of THC beverages and a whole rotunda of mini bottles. Their liquor selection is good (though I'd say the liquor-to-liquor selection comparison is on-par with some of the larger Binny's). An impressive selection of cocktail supplies, too, like bitters. This is, by far, my favorite place to shop during the holidays for all of those bottle gift sets. They carry a HUGE selection.

They have whole section of cheeses , beer, wine, tobacco etc and you can get a drink and take with you while you shop. Next time I go I am going to have to stay longer just to see everything. They also have some cool things in the store. What looks to be porta potties opens up to a full size restrooms, a fire truck I. The hot sauce section and many other neat things.

On a recent trip to the Cincinnati area to visit with family, we made the stop at Jungle Jim's on…read morethe first afternoon were were in town, which was on a Saturday in September. Jungle Jim's International Market is truly unlike any store I have ever been. It is hard to describe, but it is a grocery store, international market, restaurant, bar, and more, but all on steroids. They even have their own podcast! There are so many sections and areas in this store, that if you truly took your time to shop, it would probably take an entire day to see and experience it all. It is a must-stop if you are visiting Cincinnati, or are local to the area and have never been. There are two locations of this business, but we visited the Eastgate one this time. It specifically is located on Eastgate S Drive, in a strip with a few other businesses on each end. This is in the heart of the business district for the area, so it is not hard to locate and navigate to. The signage on the front facade is huge, colorful, and distinct. There is even a tram-type vehicle suspended above the street, so you will not miss it. Since this is in a business-heavy area, there is a ton of parking all around. We visited on a Saturday, and the parking lot out front was quite busy, but we still had no issue finding a spot just a minute or two walk away from the entrance. Once you walk in, that is when the fun begins. There is so much going on throughout the entire store, but in a good way. Similarly to a typical grocery store, there are different departments and areas for different items. However, the size of everything here is so much more grand. Each section could truly be its own store, given both the footprint and the variety of items available for purchase. This goes for both the "normal" grocery areas, as well as the international and specialty items. Not only is the variety of items available impressive, but the manner in which they are displayed is also very appealing. Each area is decorated with large displays and signage that hang from the ceiling, giving the whole place a whimsical and fun atmosphere. It is fun to not only shop the products, but see what kind of decor and sculptures will find you in the next area. I loved the beehive with rotating bees in the honey section! In addition to grocery and other food items, there are sections with cookwares, beer/wine/alcohol, cigars, clothing, pet items, seasonal items, and much more. I am sure you could do your regular grocery trip here, but it might take you a little longer due to both the size of the store and desire to peruse all of the different items they have! Another fun aspect of Jungle Jim's is the variety of dining options. There are several places to purchase prepared foods, most of them being around the bar area. There is also a Sushi section near the main entrance. The full-service bar offers different tastings, weekly specials, alcoholic slushies, and much more. We took some time to enjoy a brew during our visit. It was fun to walk around and shop while enjoying some beer. The store has different areas and stations for tastings, samples, demos, and events. They have an entire calendar on the website that outlines some of the various tastings and events they have monthly. Some of my favorite sections in the store were the Bakery and the Sauce/Spice area. The Bakery has many different fun and unique items that they make themselves. There are also different vendors and other local businesses featured not only in the bakery, but throughout the store. As far as the Sauce section, I truly have never seen so much hot sauce variety in my life. It is really fun to look around here and find something that you did not even know existed. The service here was very good overall. There are a lot of employees, and everyone we interacted with was helpful. Tons of checkout lines were open, and we did not have to wait super long to make our purchases. The bar had a slightly long line, but it was not terrible. There are some good values to be found here, if you look in the right places. I would definitely look at both the weekly ad and signage around to find some good deals. On our visit, I found some energy drinks for about $1 a can, which is a very good price. Some things will be more expensive, given that it is an international market, but overall I thought the pricing was fair for most items. This is a must if you are in Cincinnati for any length of time. Definitely budget a few hours if you want to look around and see all the store has to offer. I would advise grabbing a cart and your walking shoes, because the store is very large. I always love coming here and checking out the selection, even if I am not necessarily hunting for anything specific. This place is great for anyone, as there will be something you will enjoy or want to try here. Plus, they are a locally-owned business supporting other locally-owned businesses. Highly recommend stopping at Jungle Jim's!

I also like that you can get small bottles of some of the wines if you are not sure if you'd like it and can mix and match 6 for $19.99. The staff is always friendly and helpful if you are unsure of anything.

Apparently she thought I was done with my order. If she said something, it was under her breath and I didn't hear it. I had other items to purchase. I wait until everyone else is taken care of, about 10 to 15 minutes. Then asked if I can be helped by the same person that waited on me the first time. I told her that she was working in my order and then was told she was finished. Unfortunately I said a curse word when I said it would have been nice to have been told that. A Karen came over and without trying to see what the issue was immediately told me that if I'm going to curse, "you can get out of my store and we won't sell you anything else". Paid for my other order and was given attitude the entire time. She had this smart ass attitude and grin. I then told her I wouldn't be back and she said "good I have plenty of other customers". I was offered no help with my over $300 order to get it in my car, as has always been the case at this location. So I graded my items one at a time and left with a purposeful curse this time. "Adios MFers" ...followed by Karen again telling me to never shop there again, like she did something there. Not to worry. I followed DEP to this location and had been a regular customer for years.

Jungle Jim's lives up to its reputation as the Disneyland of grocery stores. For the best Bay Area…read morecomparison, it would be like if you took Berkeley Bowl and made it the size of two Costcos and gave it Trader Joe's vibes. It really has products from all around the world. When we arrived, we didn't know about the giraffe and rhino entrance system, so we parked in the front and entered through the rhino entrance. Apparently, the rhino entrance is optimized for shoppers coming here for everyday necessities and the giraffe entrance is optimized for the full experience. Ultimately, the store is all connected so it doesn't really matter, but you may save yourself a few steps by going to the back parking lot and entering through the giraffe entrance if you want to explore the whole store. They have an extensive beer, wine, and liquor section, though we didn't buy anything as we were going to Louisville next and wouldn't have space in our luggage for an extra bottle. The international section is huge. Based on my experience, I would say that for each individual country, the spread of packaged goods doesn't quite reach the level of a full Asian supermarket, but the selection is about as good as an ethnic corner store. Still, there's no other store in the country quite like this; Berkeley Bowl doesn't have the breadth or depth of coverage. Now, one area where Berkeley Bowl shines is in produce; while Jungle Jim's has a very extensive produce section including international produce, I would consider them a tie in terms of variety, despite the former's much smaller footprint. Now, they do keep it local as well. They sell various brands of canned Cincinnati chili, frozen goetta, Cincinnati-made whisky, and Cincinnati-roasted coffee. We got several bags of coffee from at least three unique local roasters, generally roasted within the last 1-2 months. After getting home and tasting it, it was very good. Overall, prices can be a bit steep, but it's worth it for hard-to-find items that you can't get anywhere else. There are also some sale and clearance items where you can snag a good deal.
