Bought some beer, drank a can and thought it tasted bad but I gave it the benefit of the doubt since I haven't had it before. I then opened a can of a beer I usually drink and basically instantly spit it out. I looked at the date and it was canned close to 6 years ago. The other beer was almost 3 years old which explained why I hated it. The conditions of the cans was enough of a red flag to put them down but you can't really be surprised when everything in there is as dirty as the cans are. I never leave reviews but this was so nasty that I had to post it.

Decent local liquor shop. Great variety. Though the clerk didn't know what stiegl radler's were haha. :)

I like this little shop, there is a wide selection and the prices are reasonable. It has a very "townie" vibe, mostly due to it being a longstanding dive liquor store. The smell takes some getting used to. They have cats somewhere in the store, and by the strength of the smell, they have had cats for a while... I'm sure the cats are well loved by the local crowd, but it is off-putting for a newcomer.

Be aware of expiration dates. I purchased beer that tasted horrible and when I checked the date it has expired 3 years ago and hard liquor that was around $30 expired 6 years ago. It smells like a pet store from all the animals he has there. I would recommend shopping somewhere else.

Best part lots of verity of wines, but the animals is a little to much. I refuse to go in, come out wanting to vomit. Two my husband just went to buy some beer and saw the cats laying on some bag of chips, he said there is no going back to this store 🤷🏻‍♀️. When the pandemic was getting better and things open up we got excited because we saw clean but not anymore. Sorry
