I stopped here New Years Eve due to convenience and one of the few open after 9pm. It is a small…read morestore but the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful. They had various wine's which is good, but no specific Muscato's I was looking for (D'Asti and Capasaldo) and also no Madori. This seems to be a hard liqueur to find unless going to a bigger store.Overall it was good to find a liquor store open so I can take some wine home to drink (AT HOME!) However, the lack of choices didn't sit well with me. It has always bothered me that small liquor stores only carry your typical beer and hard liquor (Vodka, Whiskey, Tequila etc...) It would be nice to see more refined tastes being carried such as Scotch or other liqueurs like the Madori I love.

The owners are willing and eager to educate you fairly about their products. For example, there are wine tastings on Thursdays and Fridays, and they will explain the relative merits of products---not only or primarily the expensive ones, but what might be the best value for you. They also have good sales. In 2011 a local person tipped us off about this store, and we've been going their ever since----bypassing many closer stores. We've never been disappointed.

We bought a half case, which in this case was really only six bottles. Cause that's the way it came. The corks on every bottle was dry. A little too dry for my wife. So every bottle was a pain to open. I took back three bottles to show him what the issue was. He took our three bottles back and gave us a full case. Meaning six new bottles. He also introduced me to a tool which I had no idea about. And I have bartended for 17 years. Including a country club and a wedding facility. He is by far one of the most knowledgeable people I have met when it comes to wine, who is not a sommelier. I'm pretty sure he's probably studying for it! Thank you, Josh! As the old saying goes, happy wife happy life! And let alone the guy who owns the place. Will treat you right every time you come in. And he hires some of the best people. Thank you, Philnor liquor Ron and Jet.

Despite some negative reviews left by some of the past shoppers, my experience with this liquor…read morestore the other day was quite good. The selection is not necessarily massive. For the particular brand of tequila I was in for, however, the store only carried the Blanco (silver) one so no Reposado and/or Anejo. I, however, was able to walk away with its tequila-based coffee liqueur (Cantera Negra Cafe) which I had always wanted to try. The employees (pretty much all of them) were very professional and courteous for my shopping needs. The store is a good size. Very organized where things aren't cramped into the space. Very clean indeed. On Thursday and Saturday, they do tastings (4-7pm on Thursdays and 3-6pm on Saturdays); the designated tasting area is on the north end of the shop. You can park in the Whole Foods garage (there is a door to it inside the shop; this is convenient especially when the weather is bad with rain or show.) I don't come to this part of town very often but it's nice to know that a good liquor store with high-end feel exists right in the heart of Belmar shopping area.

This store quite literally stole $60 from me. I ordered beer to be delivered, but the beer they…read morebrought was completely different from what I ordered. I did not accept the delivery and the driver said he would have the manager refund my credit card, but it would take a few days for the refund to show up on my bank website. Two weeks later, still no refund. I have called 10 times to ask to speak to the manager, but the employee who answers always tells me there is no manager. Now I see several google reviews from other customers who had almost the exact same issue. At least I can have my credit card company reverse the charge... but this place is a complete joke and they have no qualms about stealing from their customers. When I finally went into the store to request my refund in person, the cashier cursed and screamed at me, threw a pen at me, and threatened to call 911 as I laughed and drove away.
