What a fall from grace it has been. What once stood as a mammoth amongst shopping experiences, has…read moretook a sharp decline to what is now nothing more than a big liquor store. After being a loyal customer for years, I was met with extreme disappointment when I discovered the full elimination of "Door #1" (the beer selection). The entire section of the store has been removed. No more beer, no more snacks, no more cigars, no more drinking games, no more kegs, no more of life's simple pleasures. With this dismantling, I do not foresee any type of return in the future.

They have a tremendous selection of beer and some getting drunk foods. I think overall their selection has gone down over the years. Now, the vibe is more clean with open space. I'll be back - if I'm back in town. Parking is like rolling the dice. I don't like it!

As someone who doesn't like beer, I love this place…read more They have a great selection of ciders, and even sodas and other fun stuff like fruity shots as well. I've brought some friends here and they've all found beers that they like. Brian (the owner) is super friendly.

When I introduced my foodie friend to a world outside of Coors Light and similarly boring beers a month ago, we have visited a significant amount of distributors ranging from Brooklyn to Port Jeffetson. All in the name of finding that genre of beer that is most appealing to our tastes. These days, there is so much craft beer on the market, deciphering through all of the choices is time consuming as to seeking out particular bottles and can get expensive to the seekers. The initial welcome greeting I got from the owner of The Beer Garden was genuine, in that he laid his business and customer relations intentions out to me. Whatever we need, just ask. "I want you guys as my customers for a long time, anything you need, questions you might have, just ask" He walked us aisle by alsle, recommending some and pointing out the over bought, over hyped beers. After a few bottles were in hand, I left to enjoy the banana bread stout, double chocolate stout, Bells: Two Hearted ale. Amazing selections mixed with attentive customer service. My quest to travel from town to town looking for new options has all but ended.

Despite it's not-very-big location, they manage to pack a really big selection of local and craft beers into this spot. It's a must-go before any party. Also a secret benefit of McBreen's is their inexpensive 40 lb bag of ice. Why bother with multiple bags? Just get all your ice in a single bag!

I visit the left a lot more than the right. New York Marketplace & Brewery District has an incredible wide selection of ciders, beers, and groceries. It is very spacious, bright, and organized. They have ciders and beers from local NY breweries and international ones as well. I always purchase Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime ciders from here and other favorite ciders of mine. You'll be able to find Angry Orchard, Downeast, 1911, Woodchuck, Strongbow, and so much more. There was also a 10% off when purchasing a 4 or 6 pack which is a plus. Groceries like pretzels, crackers, gift bags, cards, and other items that you may need can also be found here. Cashiers are always personable. I always stop here to pick up my favorite ciders/beers. If you are not looking to purchase anything and just wanted to check it out, they usually have free tastings.

About 18 years ago I was introduced to Scotch and Bourbon. Ever since then I have been on a mission…read moreto find the best selection near me. That is a tough one. Every store has a vast selection that seems to be geared towards the area population. Recently I was on the hunt for 2 specific bottles, Old Fitzgerald 7 year BIB and Ben Holiday BIB. Since I was going to ShopRite for some fill in shopping I decided to stop in. To my surprise they had both. The store is well laid out great lighting and a staff ready to help. As for pricing, they are very competitive. While there I noticed the selection of rare and or hard to find bottles and they were not kept under lock and key also priced competitively. Bottom line, yeah I'll be back!

Resembling something similar to a barn from the outside (hey, it's the beverage barn), once you enter you'll be greeted with a plethora of craft beers from all over the country and world. There's plenty of 6 and 12 packs as well as larger amounts for macro beer fans and specialty bottles for those looking for something more rare. The best thing about Bev Barn is the ability to take any bottle from a 6 pack (be cool and don't separate cans or open 12 packs) and mix and match your selections. Bottle deposit is in the back (it's an employee not a machine so no worries about bottles not getting scanned like at your local supermarket) and there's a walk in fridge if you need something icy-cold right away. You'll also find a growler station with some great local beers and a few other choices. For non-beer drinkers there's even an aisle of ciders as well sodas, teas, and other drinks. Some Saturday's they also host tastings from different breweries which is an awesome way to score some free beer. Prices are great (try and snag a coupon flyer before going for a few dollars off) and the employees are friendly and many like to drink so you'll often end up in a convo about your purchase. Overall, this is the place to come to when looking for some craft beer love.
