This place has my heart wrapped in its warm hometown hands. On any given Sunday you can find me crackin' cold ones with the boys at this place....the beer garden next door is like the garage with my uncles! They have a really good beer selection, albeit a small one. They have what can only be a 'select' variety of choices. You can speak with the chaps and chapettes at the counter for all kinds of knowledgeable answers for everything they have in stock. As for the restaurant next door, it's a good little spot! The kitchen is decent enough to pop out some tasty dishes. My sister and I grabbed a burger there once. it wasn't too bad. But I am here for the beer and the cozy vibes. I've seen folks bring dogs, small children (it's a quiet spot, it doesn't scream family friendly) and older folks too. I love the Greeks, really I do. Just keep in mind, the next few years there is some kind of living complex being built directly across the street of this quaint tiny little town. Expect things to change. Ya best appreciate this place the way it is! They just don't make 'em like this anymore. read more

I stopped by on Friday afternoon for a beer and a snack. because it was a little chilly outside, I opted for the French Onion Soup. I've been ordering French Onion Soup for 50 years and nowadays most places throw a little cheese on that looks like it's floating in the broth. I normally ask them to brown the cheese well but i forgot this time. Much to my surprise, what came out had lots of gooey cheese baked onto the outside of the bowl. It took me a while just to pick it all off. It was also well browned. Although the broth could use a little more flavor, it was the best French Onion Soup I had had in a while. The beer was pretty good too. The server gave me several tastes before I decided which one to get. All in all a nice experience. read more

We came here on a recommendation from a family friend who told us they had vegan and vegetarian options. While their beer selection seems to be out of this world, in my opinion this place's food is their best kept secret. We're not vegan or even vegetarian by label but I'd say my husband and I eat vegan about 70% of the week. We ordered a seitan cheese steak with American cheese and a Beyond burger with American cheese. We also order some wings that had a delicious homemade bbq sauce. That cheese steak was SO good. I would say the wings were pretty good and the burger was alright- not bad just nothing to write home about. I think the burger could have been more interesting with grilled mushrooms and something. We're always looking for a place to add to our 'quick place to go list'. This place will certainly be added. They have enough interesting vegan, vegetarian and regular options to keep us coming back to try different things. Also the guys working there, chef included, were very nice and easygoing. read more

During the Thanksgiving break I normally like to take the time to reflect on a few proverbial turkeys (http://www.yelp.com/biz/johnny-rockets-philadelphia#hrid:aLrsMBiBAJYwMzP6gCZ_0A/src:self, http://www.yelp.com/biz/q-bbq-and-tequila-philadelphia#hrid:tcp5ruCp26knHptqWThevg/src:self, http://www.yelp.com/biz/urban-outfitters-philadelphia-2#hrid:Fb1DbGlfsdywRelZvHs5ow/src:self). But since I haven't had the misfortune of coming across any in awhile, I decided that it would be good to reflect upon some of the news spots that I was able to enjoy while revisiting my suburban roots. And I may as well start it off with what might just be a front runner for best craft beer spot that I've ever visited. Years ago I never thought that I'd see my old stomping ground of the Main Line catch on to the flourishing beer scene that has been surging through Philly. But spots like the Beer Shoppe and Tired Hands have been making it a reality; and even though it came from my least favorite Narb bar, I was excited to hear that my hometown was getting its own craft beer spot. Especially when I was able to check out the varieties and awesome prices that most of the coolers had to offer! From seasonals and imports, to stouts and IPAs, and everywhere in between each cooler was devoted to a specific type of brew. and one was even partly devoted to a good stash of specialty colas. And inside you find a good selection from Flying Dog, Rogue, Great Lakes, Hitachino, Ommegang, and any other brewer that you may know and love. But what really struck me was how the prices were at least a $1 cheaper than most other craft beer stores, and that certain bigger name seasonals like Founders Breakfast Stout and Flying Dog''s This Fear were especially cheaper. Add in a 10% discount when you mix-a-six (except for Tuesday's when 10% of all six pack purchases go to a local food shelter) and you gain extra incentive to put together a selection of some of your new found favorites. The store is a short while away from installing taps and starting up a growler system. But in the mean time it has started to have some interesting tasting events, and has hooked up some special deals on specialty bottles. read more

The Greeks Next Door has a great, though slightly limited selection-- there are a good amount of Belgian brews and even some harder to find beers like Rodenbach. Local beers are also featured well, which was a plus, but the place could be bigger overall. The location is great, too. It's right next to the bar for which it's named and it's more convenient than some other distributors. The character inside is great-- there's a large statue of a monk (though he isn't Greek?), who stores beer in his belly. It gave me a laugh. The prices are all very reasonable and if you "mix six," as I call it (make your six pack), you get ten percent off of the bill. The staff is quite friendly and knowledgeable-- in short, good people to chat with about beer or whatever. Awesome place and definitely worth the visit! read more

The Greeks Next Door - Somewhat fuzzy, but this is the monk (non-Greek, interestingly) with beer in his belly. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

I'm not an expert in beer selection or stores. In fact, I also haven't dealt with PA's liquor laws in a few years. So, I bumped up my review to 4 stars to show that I give the benefit of the doubt. Great selection over all, although it's only one wall of beers and a second wall of more specialty beer. That said, having this selection in the suburbs is a big deal and I'm sure a lot of people save time getting their hard-to-find beer at this store than somewhere else. It's got a good vibe to it (I haven't eaten at the restaurant) and is well decorated. Also looks like they do some good work with growlers - but I didn't get one, just watched two get filled in front of me. read more

Thank.God. Finally- a place to pick up craft beer without having to shell out for a case. I'm from NY state where we don't have such Blue Laws. I've lived in PA for 4 years now, so please note my enthusiasm for a craft beer store to open in my little local cove of Narberth AND it being smack off the R5 line. The staff are kind and informative and have no problem helping you pick out a selection or two. Buy a 6 pack (mix or match) and you get a 10% discount. On Tuesdays (?) you don't get the discount, but 10% goes towards a food shelter. They also have local beer vendor tasting events. In summary- there goes my disposable income :) read more

Just visited the Greeks and the Greeks Next-Door during my trip to Narberth. Had time to have a great lunch and was able to spend about an hour in the beer shop with my clients who have an office in Conshohocken.. They must have a new chef the lunch was delicious and my clients really enjoyed it. Our visit to the bottle shop next door was successful, my clients never saw over 1000 different beers in one place and they enjoyed their many purchases. Thank you Greeks for making my time with my clients so successful. read more

Wandered in on my way to the Wine & Spirits store nearby, and was glad I did. They have a nice selection of chilled beers here. Notable is the fact that they also have a decent selection of ciders and a really excellent selection of gluten-free beers, which is appreciated! I'm not GF but many are and it is great that this place has not just one but a range of GF beers. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and happy to give recommendations. The guys working here just seemed really cool and that added to the happy, inviting feel of the shop. So why three stars? Mainly, I've been spoiled elsewhere at places with *giant* selections of beers, and this place just doesn't have that. But it does have more than enough to keep you busy tasting different brews, and it is a great feature in the local area. read more

My review is for The Greeks Next Door bottle shop. The place is a gem in the heart of the quaint Narberth business district. They have an excellent selection of craft beer bottles, cans, growlers, and crowlers. The staff is always willing to give recommendations and talk all things beer. They have regular free tastings and unbeatable deals like half price select growler fills on Mondays. They have their own growlers and I have not had a issue with them filling other growlers as well. read more

Great selection and extremely knowledgeable staff. In this part of the Greeks the bomber selection alone is incredible, and the refrigerator cases of 12oz bottles are very well stocked and labeled (both by style, and every beer actually priced - a great change from The Foodery in the city where you don't know how much many beers are until they get rung up, or if you ask about each). Beer prices themselves are PA standards for craft bottles, which are never great in comparison to surrounding states, but it is what it is for now. Has the standard 10% discount for mix-six, which is fine. Rating places like these hinges on staff, selection (varieties + organization/display of them) and ease of purchase, all of which this place excels at. Plus, you can get any of the draft beers the Greeks have (15+) while browsing, for a discount, and even at smaller-than-normalized (16oz, 12oz, 10oz) pours for the appropriate discount (1/2 off). Love it. read more

I'm so glad this place opened up down the street from where I work! I usually run down on my break to get a mix and match 6 pack to bring home. They have a nice selection and you get 10% off on a mix an match 6 pack. It's nice to be able to select a few instead of having to commit to buying an entire case of something somewhere else. The staff is always friendly as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Great spot for grabbing a beer in the take out area and then taking it to the Thai byo up the street. Great selection here, moderate pricing but that is to be expected when buying single bottles in PA. read more

Good selection, handy having the bar next door, and right downtown in the center of everything. Prices are a little high, but to be expected when you're buying by the bottle vs 6 packs for instance. They had some things that I hadn't seen in other locations, so definitely worth stopping in if you're in the hood. read more

HOLY CRAP !!! Do they pay retail and mark up prices for customers ? I went there today and bought two 1 pint beers (Chimay and a Delirium) each for $16.50 !!! I am all for boutique beers (and even some mainstream) but this goes waaaaay above full ... full retail. I love the Greeks (bar) and really like the idea of selling beers at the adjacent shop but there's a limit. I recommend moving on and finding another place to get your beer. I can't justify overpaying this much even if it is in support of buying local in Narberth. Save the money and go to the Narberth Beverage Company on Montgomery Ave. - http://www.narberthbeverage.com #NarberthBeer #Overpriced #Narberth read more

This is the best you're going to get in PA. Great selection of beer, better prices than other bottle shops, and half price growler Mondays!

When you make the dreaded move from the city to suburbs you expect to have to give up certain things... independent coffee shops, late-night sichuan food, and bicycling to work. I thought six-packs of craft beer was on that list too, until I discovered the Greeks Next Door. Basically the Foodery, except on the Main Line. Only, better, because it has taps and sells growlers too! Half-price growler night on Mondays may just be my new favorite thing. read more

This place is a gem of a find. It has a wide variety of craft beers in various size bottles. I have never not found what I am looking for. In fact, I have often found MORE than I was looking for! The place is great. read more

Lame-O $2 fee for opening a bottle to sip while you shop makes this the last choice for the growing number of awesome bottle shops in the area. Others that DON'T charge this fee and which have an equal quality selection include the Ardmore Bottle Shop and the Local 44 bottle shop, both within easy distance of the Greeks Next Door. It's a shame they started charging this fee. I hope they change their minds about it. read more

Really awesome selection of beers with great pricing! It's a lot of fun to browse through all of these fun beers and be able to drink them right there. The guys are also super helpful with helping you pick out a beer, and they're very friendly. I do wish that they either had more seating available to sit in the actual shop and drink your beer, or that they were more clear about the rules for drinking in the restaurant next door. read more

Big selection of bottled beer in the retail section, great draft beer selection in the bar.

Even though the bartender doesn't have the time to get to know the beer names and want you to order them by the number on the menu, an excellent place to stop for a great brew and bite. read more

The Greeks Next Door has a decent selection of craft beers in bottles though not quite as extensive as the Ardmore Beer Shoppe. Their staff is super friendly and they typically have tastings every Friday night. Plus, Monday night they offer half price growlers! read more

I was totally on board.... and then they started charging $2 per bottle for you to drink your beer in the shop! What? No other bottle shop that I know of in the vicinity charges an "opening" charge. Subsequently I spent $9 for what should have been two $2.50 bottles. This has so killed my experience and I will never go there again, and never recommend that any of my friends or acquaintances go there. I will be forever taking my business to the Local 44 bottle shop and the Ardmore bottle shop. read more

It is so hard to find a decent selection of beer with Pennsylvania's crazy rules. The Greeks next door shares the liquor license with the Greeks (yes, next door) and has a pass through door so technically it is one location. The selection of beer is extensive. Lots of old favorites, and many I've never heard of. They do tastings most Fridays which is a great way to expand your beer repertoire. The staff is knowledgable. They also fill growlers. If you like, you can take also your purchases to the bar next door. read more

Great selection and knowledgable and friendly staff. Try out 1/2 price growlers on Monday!

Just stopped in looking for a particular beer and found a magical place. The beer selection alone gives it four stars and I'm looking to go to try the food. read more

Awesome beer shop. My husband loves this place. A bit pricey, but amazing selection and a friendly staff.

Brand new craft beer store is ready to open in the heart of Narberth, PA. The Greeks Next Door will have over 300 beers and many drafts to choose from. read more

The Greeks Next Door - the greek tavern logo - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Narberth, Pennsylvania

I may not be the most qualified to rate a beer store because I am more of a wine girl, but the Greeks Next Door is a really welcome addition to the neighborhood. It's really more of a beer boutique that specializes in carrying an amazing number of specialty beers and the expertise and knowledge of its staff is astounding. I always go their when I have guest and tell their staff a little about what my guests are like and where they are from and they always help me come up with the best selection. Once they even let me return a slew of Irish beers because I later found out my guests were abstinent. It conveniently connect to the main Greeks pub too. read more

This place literally has hundreds of beers to choose from! You can mix your sixpacks, fill growlers, and the staff and even the other people there don't make you feel stupid if you're not a craft beer expert. It's such a friendly place. read more

Awesome affordable beer shop in Narberth, never thought this would happen. You can also bring beers into the Greeks for a small fee. Particularly good for the block parties in the summer. read more

This place has a great selection, though some more rotation would be appreciated. The staff is wonderful though and I highly recommend stopping by for some decent bottles. I would like to point out the irony of the reviewer who complained about their prices and subsequently suggested consumers look to the horrifically overpriced beer distributor on Montgomery ave. Come on man. read more

Visiting my cousin in narberth I found his secret spot called the geeks next door. It's a bottle shop where I could buy one of over a thousand different beers!! Bought two six packs of beers from around the world, took them to a party and I was a celebrity! Staff was exemplary and friendly. And I had a great experience. HIGHLY recommend. read more

My wife and I just adore this establishment. Everyone is extremely helpful,knowlegable and friendly. The Beer selection is awesome and changes every week. Growler 1/2 price specials on Monday and Friday beer tastings, read more

Great experience at The Greeks Next Door. Hundreds of craft brews, local and regional brews, and fantastic imports. Lived overseas and found my favorite hefe weizen here. Put together 2 six-packs and brought to a dinner party, just perfect. Looking forward to when the growler system is up and running. read more

The Greek's Next has a decent selection - but certainly not amazing. They seem to run out of the more popular beers pretty quickly...and perhaps should order additional inventory. Most of their pricing is in line with other bottle shops, but in my opinion their large format bottles are on the expensive side. Personnel wise, the people working there are friendly enough...but again in my opinion not as knowledgeable as some of the other bottle shops. But I guess if their employees were super informed about all aspects of beer they would be working in other areas of the beer industry. They offer a Monday Growler special with several selections being offered half price. However, their method of filling growlers is inefficient and lends itself to heavily foamed fills. They use a rigged up rubber tube and connector to pour beer from their taps...most of which are actually located in the bar next door. A few days back, I watched as a customer had a few growlers filled - one was at least 1/3 foam when it was brought back to the counter. I'm not sure what the laws in PA are in regards to sanitizing the growlers before pouring - but I'm pretty sure they're not be sanitized prior to filling. Also the way that rigged up tube is being handle - there is no way it's sanitary - as the employee carries it back and forth rolled up in his hands - remember that tube goes all the way down into the growler - body oils and beer DON'T mix well! Not to mention that yeast and other sediment also builds up - especially on surfaces that are not completely smooth. Just my opinion and knowing Yelp...this review will end up under "filtered" reviews, as that's just the way Yelp seems to roll! read more
