Right on the Lynnway, and highlighted by a huge sign. It's hard to miss this place if you driving by.

First off, you'd think this place would suck by the looks of it, but surprisingly, it has an okay selection. You have a small layered shelf that carries a limited selection of favorites - Duvel, Chimay, Rogue, Anchor brewing, Unibroue, Tremens, and a slew of others. Just be wary of the date, as most people in this area, do not buy crafts/imports, so a lot of them are covered by dust.

They also have some more crafts lying about like Smuttynose and Allagash White, some Hennepin (sp), and some other goodies.

Besides have the average goodies, and a couple surprises, it's just the same old same old.

A HUGE reason I kept coming back here was because of the price of one of my faves - La Fin Du Monde. They were carrying a 750ml for 6.59. That's easily the cheapest I've seen it anywhere. Send me a message if you've seen it cheaper somewhere else. But get this - I felt like I was the only person buying them, and I had a feeling that sooner or later they would mark up the price because they were flying off the shelves (I would by 2 of 'em every week). And yep, they raised it to 6.99. It's still the cheapest I've seen them...but damn, that really turned me off. I should say something. On a related note, they sell the Maudite for 6.29. Pretty sweet, huh? Everything else seems to be of average price, and sometimes you'll see something too expensive. For example, they carry singles of Dogfish's World Wide Stout for, I think, 10 bucks a pop. I went to Julio's the other day and it was 2 dollars cheaper there. But of course, Julio's La Fin was 2 dollars more expensive. Ya win some, ya lose some.

The service is okay, as the cashiers are kind of loud. The short lady is incredibly friendly, but also tries too hard to make an impression sometimes. A very pretty hispanic girl seems to be bipolar with her moods, but it's all good. A strong personality is better than zero personality in my opinion.

Around rush hour on fridays and saturdays, it gets very crowded in here. Come Xmas time, the place gets crazy. They bring in marketing girls for certain wines and liquors, and man oh man...a couple times these girls were porn level hot. Tons of cleavage and tiny mini-skirts. Of course you see these girls everywhere during Xmas times, but I've never seen them as skanky as I did here. It was ridiculous.

If you live in the area, definitely stop by there and support their craft/import section as it seems they are trying to improve it. Just don't buy any La Fin Du Mondes...those are mine!!!
