small but great store w/ an awesome selection of beers and friendly staff! The pricing issue that others have mentioned does not seem to be an issue anymore, everything in store is labeled and priced fairly from what I saw and was charged for.

Extremely high prices to the point where I'm never stepping foot into their store again. A week ago I picked up a 12-pack and paid $25 for it. The same 12-pack at Sparrow was $17. Yesterday, I picked up a 6-pack of beer that retails for around $12 everywhere else. Rings up at $16 + tax = $18. Paying $18 for a 6-pack of beer is crazy. I put it back and picked up Laguinitas. Everywhere else, that's $9.99. Rings up at $13.99 + tax = $15.50. I paid for the beer and I walked out knowing I'm never coming back. Nothing is labeled so it's a guessing game with these guys and the same item can ring up at a (massively) different price every other day! Literally every single thing in this store is 20-30% more expensive than everywhere else. Also, check their reviewers below. Pretty much all the honest reviews mention the price gouging. All the fake 5 star reviews can be easily spotted. I hope the owners realize that what they are doing is not only not ethical, but they are harming their own business. I would gladly shop from this store if I didn't feel like I was being ripped off every single time. However, now I gladly walk the extra 5 minutes to go to Sparrow, because at least when I pick up beer from there, I can see the price labels before I go to the register. Edit in response to the owner below: The difficulty with placing prices on beer due to changing inventory has been somehow overcome by every other liquor store in the area. If you wanted to fix the problem, you would have. There are ways to do this, but I doubt you want to do this because that means less people at your register just paying for the huge markup because they've already committed to buying. I don't need an explanation honestly. I've been to your store sometimes 4 times in one week to buy the same 6-pack of beer and been charged 4 different prices. You've lost a customer in me (a quite frequent one!) and I'm sure you'll continue losing more customers if you don't change your predatory practices. There are many many liquor stores in Hoboken, and some are within a 5 minute walk from you. I left this review to let you know why some of your customers may chose to walk to those stores than shop from you. It's up to you if you want to fix it or not, I can't tell you how to run your business. I can tell you why I will never support your business.
