There was so much to look through, & the place was packed and really well stocked. 1 thing I really liked was seeing all the friendly vendors throughout the store giving out free samples of different spirits. It made walking around & browsing a little more fun, especially w/ so many different brands to check out. The prices were ok, but I'd say they lean more toward the higher side. You can def find some good deals, though, especially if you catch one of their sales. The cashier wasn't the friendliest or patient, which was prob the only negative part of my visit. Other than that, I had no complaints. The store was huge, packed w/ products, well stocked,& had plenty to look at. Def a place where you can walk in for 1 thing & somehow spend way more time browsing than you planned.

The Blieberry Pancake as a sour was well executed and tasty. Great color, density and mouthfeel too. The other beers were accurately described and pretty good.

It's laid-back but still lively, with dart boards and games that make it easy to settle in and stay awhile. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, laugh, and not feel rushed. They also have a bunch of different events which they lost in the walls and change each week. One of my favorite things about it is the flexibility with food. You can bring your own, which already makes it a win, but they also take have QR codes you can scan and have food delivered right to your table from nearby restaurants. It's such a seamless setup and honestly makes the whole experience even better. All around, this spot nails the balance between great drinks and a genuinely fun atmosphere. Perfect for a casual night out, meeting up with friends, or just switching up your usual brewery routine. Definitely a go-to. Ive been a few times and I'll definitely be going back.

Big wine selection. 3.Good prices on everything -- a few bucks cheaper than the other large liquor stores. The bad: 1. The create-your-own-6-pack is weak, they only offer a handful of beers to pick from, not their whole selection, which some nearby stores -- like CT Beverage Mart in Newington -- offer. 2. There are always a bunch of bums and junkies hanging around the bottle deposit area. 3. No social media outreach to consumers. They should get a Twitter account to talk with customers to discuss sales, new items, events, etc.
