This is hands down the best place to buy beer/liquor on the island. These folks are amazing. Great selection that changes, fine quality liquor. They seem to somehow carry the classics and new stuff all the time!I’ve never had a bad beer from here that I didn’t like, not sure if that says more about me and my beverage preferences, or their selection and decisions around what to stock. Worth going in 100%

Nice place w a bit more varied choices then most corner liquor stores. The person working that day was very friendly + answered all my questions before I purchased a 9 year rum he suggested.

I had a fantastic Greek wine at a restaurant and looked all over the Bay Area as to where I could buy it. Dan at Craft not only knew the wine but had tasted it! He ordered some for me and a week later called me. I recommend them to everyone.

I love this place. The guys who run the store are super knowledgeable, kind and not snobs! They know their wine! They know their beer! They know whiskey(y). My only wish for them is that one day theyll be able to stay open until at least 8:30 ;)

Great little shop. We found our bottle of aspalls blush cider, and the nice person working set our order aside in the fridge so it was good and cold and safe for us. We will definitely be going back.

Good craft beer selection. A lot of the items were from Oregon and I had never seen them. They also have an amazing selection of harder to find spirits and wines. I really enjoy coming here as the owners are friendly and love to share about the selections they carry. Keep up the great work!

Several visits, I really enjoy their beer selection. My wife is from England so she is hard to please with beer, but she loves this place, Bombardier I think is the one she craves. They also sell a pineapple rum that is very unique and good...and Im not the biggest pineapple fan. Keep up the good work.

They have a lot of craft beer from local and small-scale brewing companies. Dont know much about their wine selection, but its there, along with a good number of Port. Theyve recently expanded their selection of whiskey and spirits that you wont find most other places. The owners are always there to assist, or guide, and theyve got regular tasting events.

Fun little shop with an enormous, curated selection of craft beers and wines. I love stopping in, talking to a passionate beer geek about what Im in the mood for, and walking out with something delicious that Id never have otherwise discovered...or going in to find something obscure that I crave, and know noone else carries.

Review №51

Loved it, theres one guy here all the time and he definetly knows whats up when it come to craft beers and wine, very knowledgable.This place is unusually small but somehow it has what im looking for and makes it super nice to have a pro voice distant away, like having a real life drink Siri as your looking at the selection. Normally this place might get a 4 but because they had the exact style of a particular import I was looking for when almost everyone else in the bay area did not!It was a St. Peters Cream Stout for this whod like to know.

Review №53

This craft brew and wine shop is clean and friendly on the inside. The beers are heavily curated with a local bias. IPAs and ales are well represented, particularly the scrumptious Allagash brewery products. Prices are a little higher than they are at Bevmo or similar, but the odds of getting a bad beer are much lower. A wide array of spurs are available, as well as a few meades and ciders. The wine appears to be chosen very selectively, with what seemed to be a slight emphasis on fortified wines. The staff was very friendly and was able to describe the basic flavors of a few of the drinks we were interested in.
