The staff are awesome, and the store is always clean. However, this place is in desperate need of a new supplier. The store looks like it was robbed every time you go in it, there's hardley anything in the store. The pictures posted of the store with full shelves must be from a long time ago because I've never seen anything like that. The selection to choose from is abysmal and literally almost absent. Please get some stock on your shelves

Ally, Joesph, and Travis are very friendly and welcoming. Dave the owner is a straight forward guy, takes care of his employees, and is very fair about things, within reason. I ran into one gentleman who was quite rude, and opinionated. He couldn't possibly ruin my experience with this store, the other people that work here are amazing

I have never had such a experience with this store. I asked for the largest coke and I got a 1 liter bottle of diet coke, and also asked for 2 nips with the order, also never received this either. Obviously not the drivers fault tipping her 10 on a 20 something order. But when I called the guy, (unknown) I said that I never recieved these things, he after saying there is nothing he can do, he hung up on me. Seems a bit ridiculous to respond that way to a simple call saying we did not get our order. Especially if we are paying for this and their service.

Love this store! All of the staff are helpful and friendly. I have found prices to be great too! And their delivery service is great for those of us who can't always get around so well. It's the only place I go (or call).

They did a remodel of this store about 2 years ago. Aside from a HUGE selection of the regular wine, spirits and beer they have a some very cool local wines, crafted beers and did I mention a GIANT selection of different flavor Sangria options? Whatever your fruity favorite they have Sangria to match

Its a small store with very limited selections. $39.99 for a bottle of Captain Morgan seems quite pricey to me.

Great selection, amazing remodel of the store, now allows many more selections to choose from. Staff is friendly and come on a place that delivers, you just can't get better than that. Friendly staff and the store is always clean.

Great selection of beers and a great staff. One issue they only take rreturns thought thier machine, but they don't keep it ou to date regarding the beers they sell. They don't take can/bottle returns any other way so frequenlty you buy here but have to redeem at some other location.

Great selection of craft beer from around the New England area and beyond. Best part is all of the beer is in a giant walk in fridge so you know it's been kept cold.

Super friendly customers, they even deliver! Pretty good beer selection (would be cool if they'd get All Day IPA). Reasonable pricing!

I never would have rated it one star but this is a third time in 3 weeks I've come here and they're closed 5 minutes before closing close it 5 minutes of 11:00 if you're going to be closed at 10:55 because the 10:55 it's not fair to people who drive far to come here

Note:I am updating my prior review of 1 star to 4 stars because they also have EXCELLENT workers there, in particular Katie and Jack (who was nice enough to order me the type of wine I suggested).-------I usually enjoy my experience there with the service staff, owner, selection etc. and would not otherwise give a 1 star review. However, a recent experience with Allie, the manager, was quite enough to NIX the other 4 stars. This in regard as to whether or not it's really true that the customer is responsible for knowing what FRACTION of a 4-5oz cup used for beer tastings and if they don't, is it your policy to chastise the customer for not knowing.Facts and circumstances .I had gone in there hours after the beer tasting ended where the beers to sample:a. Were still there displayed on ice.b. Were there with 4-5 oz plastic cups .c. I had an 'OK' from the employee to self serve.The cup sizes were consistent with the size in bars when one wishes to sample a beer and the staff was perfectly OK with the amount I put in the cup. I had no reason to believe that I was doing something 'wrong' after establishing from the workers behind the counter that it was OK to self serve and use the cups available to do so.Enter Allie who actually CHASTISED me for 'not knowing' the volume definition/amount of a 'tasting' AS IF it were MY job/responsibility to know the FRACTION of volume to put in the cups of 4-5 oz capacity.On the contrary. It was her job to have told the workers to pour for the customer what ever amount LESS than the capacity of the cup that was required to sample a beer.IF she knows what the FRACTION of volume to add to a 4-5 oz cup should be for a 'tasting' (and I'm not denying that there could be one), it's not something to expect a customer to know and/or to chastise for if they don't.I did my due diligence to establish if it was OK for me to self serve given; 'a', 'b' and 'c' as stated above. If it was your manager's responsibility to control the dispensing of the alcoholic beverages and the size of each 'tasting', she should have told her staff that before hand and not chastised me as if was my job (as a customer) to know this.The 'right' thing to have done would have been to say nothing to me. But INSTEAD, simply take the workers aside and tell them that in the event SHE doesn't remove the sampling display in a timely manner AFTER the 'tasting' is OVER, their instructions are to dispense the beverages and size of each serving in accordance of what ever the limitations are for a 'tasting'.If your manager needs to control what FRACTION of volume is to be poured into a 4-5 oz capacity cup, I suggest the following:1: Use cups of the same/similar capacity of what ever volume limitations there are for a 'tasting'.2: If SELF SERVE is actually NOT an option for the customer, then don't leave it out there (after the end of the tasting) AS IF it is. That OR tell your staff it isn't.

Almost missed this place coming from out of the state. Looking at the front of the store one might not even realize there is a store there, but don't let that fool you. They actually have a nice selection of beer inside.My only complaint is they don't list prices :/

Good selection of beer, especially local brews. No military discount and the prices are a little high. Good spot though with friendly staff. I will return.

No integrity. Pricing is inaccurate and the owner is a sanctimonious arrogant person. Not a business that should be rewarded.
