Great selection of bitters, syrups, and high-quality bar tools. I originally visited for the Koriko shaker tin because Amazon was charging about $9 shipping for each tin piece. There are many items you can’t find at other local retailers. Time was of the essence so I purchased items I could’ve gotten off Amazon. I probably spent about $7 - $15 more than an Amazon purchase but I was able to inspect the quality, touch the product and demonstrate bar movements, and test out compatibility of tools. It only took me 20 minutes each-way while the Giant Online Logistics Warehouse would have charged some shipping and taken at least 5 days for me to get the items and determine if they are suitable. I like to support local businesses and our local economy because I’d hate for us to have to use app to get items to shop if we lose our businesses. Parking was easy. Its store hours seem to cater to evening hospitality works. Customer service is okay. They aren’t focused on people and seem a little selective about which customers get greeted and offered assistance. Both times I visited, the staff were focused on tasks. It would be better for the business to add some value to the customer buying experience. We pay more to shop there and it should take the experience up a notch—make it dynamic and interactive by incorporating classes, events, tastings, and or demonstrations.

These guys are awesome. They're great shopkeepers and wonderful neighbors. Such a fantastic selection of booze and bar tools/glass sets and you can always get good recommendations to try something new. They are also super friendly to my little clown dog who has finally learned not to jump around in there. Would hate if he broke any of the awesome glass collections they have!!

I like to come here to support local when buying spirits. They always have a great selection and I value their knowledge. I lust over the glassware every time, and pulled the trigger on purchasing some last time I visited!

Barkeeper had a fantastic selection of hard to find liquor, mixers, tonics and higher end staples. I'd followed their Instagram for years before moving here and now enjoy visiting in person. The staff is very knowledgeable. They are always willing to recommend or find what you need and even look into special orders. Following their Instagram is a great idea to see what new and interesting things are in. Prices are reasonable with a fair markup considering their location and clientele. Street parking can be a little challenging but always manageable. Definitely worth a visit.

Wow love this place I just wish I brought more cash with me because this is a wonderland of a bar keepers / bartenders dream. Everything you could possibly want for a bar but things you don't ever see anywhere else very specialty items such as a wh shelf of mixing spoons and muddlers, shakers glassware, every bitter you could think of and alcahol as well my only compliant was they didn't ha e club soda when I went but no big deal I got some at a Gas station down the street. I believe they normally do have it though. But a yway if you have a home bar or a good mixology type of bar you need to go here!!!
