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.

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.

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.

The owner and the help here are 1000% more helpful than any place I've ever been! Josh help me out today! When it comes to wine, he knows what he's talking about! 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.

Several years ago the ownership changed and this isn't the same place by any means. First, the…read moreprices just keep going up and up. A case of Michelob Ultra is $26.99. I can go to Costco and get it for $19.99 and Kings Soopers is $21.99. I understand that everything has increased since 2020, but you need to be competitive. Last night I stopped in hoping for this years Beaujolais Nouveau, which they had. I grabbed 3 bottles and was shocked when he rang up the bill. They were $18.99/bottle. I just 3 bottles last time and they were $9.99. Prices are way out of control at this store. Then, I got the receipt which normally I don't get, but I was offended by the price. I just realized, they are also charging a 3% processing fee on top of their already outrageous prices. Sorry, but you have lost a customer who has been going to this store since 2004.

They should be visited for that alone, I presume their wine selection is also solid. Unfortunately, the level of pompous from the woman that I do not believe is the owner (but is always there smoking cigs out front) exhibits is amazing. I can find all of the beers they have at other spots, so no need to deal with that. I now stop there only out of convenience and probably won't after this post. I just wish they would drop the front and bring back the idea that their special selection is for everyone. There are spots around town that are much more approachable. This just seems like they have a staff that is too cool for the product. Beer should be approachable like Joyride. Overall, my review is 'meh'
