Beer selection is excellent, with a great variety of local, national, and international brew. If you want to try something different, just tell them the flavor profile you're looking for and they can help out. In this case, I wanted something medium-bodied and malty and they recommended the Ten Penny out of East Hartford. Great balance between a Six Point Sweet Action and an English bitter like Old Speckled Hen. Wine selection looks excellent too!

The store has flexible hours and open part time on holidays which makes it really convenient to shop for all those last minute gatherings. The owner is very patient, friendly and knowledgeable and is always willing to help you out. Around Halloween and Christmas, he would have a bowl full of candies for children on the counter-how generous of him! I always have a pleasant time shopping here and I highly recommend this place for all your alcohol needs!

At the beginning of covid when people were speaking through masks and had plexiglass between us I was yelled at twice on two different occasions for not understanding but the person behind the counter was telling me to do. On both occasions there was no one behind me and I have perfect hearing. Because I was treated the way I was I decided I would rather drive a mile in either direction to make purchases and be treated with respect. I don't know the name of the cashier but she works for the post office in Westbrook as well.

The inside is wonderful, however the woman did not greet me, ask me how I was, or even ask if I needed help(which I did). I will not be returning here. I felt as if I was not welcome.
