The people who run this store are less shopkeepers than they are curators. The store is really small. But it is chock a block full of extraordinary products. Some of them are quite expensive. But most are very affordable. They'll order you nearly anything that you desire. Their depth of knowledge is extraordinary. And they're actually very nice people. If you're going to buy booze, why not buy it from really cool people who love what they do? Update 14 Nov 22-- better than ever!

Always had very pleasant experiences coming in here, the staff is friendly and helpful and there’s a vast/unique selection of wine and beer considering the size of the store itself. It’s not all craft stuff too, they have a good baseline of more basic and popular brands as well. I think everyone could find something they want to drink here💯

They are willing to order products to the store upon request and it takes about a week. If the product is popular enough they might even keep ordering it, which is awesome. They still carry a certain mezcal that we asked about ordering 3 or more years ago now! Personnel are knowledgeable and helpful.

They don't have a lot of the local beers, but whatever they have is pretty good. I did not know what to get and the person at the counter helped me decide a beer which I really liked. Their wine selection is much bigger than the beer. So if you want to get wine, this is a good option.
