Friendly staff, great selection of local brews, short lines and long hours. Burby & Bates is one of my favorite liquor stores. 5/5 Highly Recommend

Employee wouldn't make a return on a nonalcoholic drink, (returning because it was nonalcoholic) after purchasing it 5 seconds prior. He said, "sorry, it's getting kind of late. i don't know if that's legal." I reiterated it was nonalcoholic... So frustrating I didn't want to give them any more money. They can be nice, though.

Great place to bring bottles/ returnables. Don't see what people mean by them shorting you they give you exactly what you brought. However someone working inside was rude, made me wait 15 minutes to check my ID when trying to buy alcohol then asked for two more forums of ID and decides not to let me buy anything? Could have told me from the start or even got someone else to check, maybe a manager? Never buying from here again.

I came in with $5 worth of returnable that I counted before going in, they found one bottle not returnable here in the state, that should have brought down my total to $4.95, nope instead they said that I only had $4.65 never again will I go and return my bottles and cans there. Thanks for ripping me off $0.30. I'll go back to a reputable redemption center Jr's Redemption on South Main Street in Brewer, ME.

This was an amazing experience. I am from New Mexico and had no idea about the rule for crushing cans. The gentleman that assisted me wouldn't break the rules by accepting crushed cans, but he did work with me to straighten out every can that we could. He must have spent hours salvaging cans with my partner and I until we were all done and only a few extremely flattened cans were wasted. My only regret is not getting the man that helped us name. He was working Friday morning and he is from Texas originally. Whoever you are, you rock!
