Great, great place for hard to find local favorites + friendly staff. Small shop, but again, they have a great selection. Come here if you're looking for bombers of cool one-off beers.

Friendly and helpful staff, great selection of craft beer and whiskey. The place is tiny but they use their space well. The prices are reasonable, especially considering it's in an expensive neighborhood. It's a new place... they opened in September 2013 and they keep improving.

Cool new shop in Kendall Square. Small but strong selection of craft brews, and no macros to be seen. The selction is small due to the size of the shop, but is different every time I stop by, so there's plenty of choice! The staff is very friendly and helpful, as far as I saw, as I didn't ask any questions, but they seemed very willing and eager to help!

This liquor store opened in late summer 2013 in the Kendall Square are of Cambridge. The store is relatively small, but the craft beer selection is very good. Nice range of bombers (local favorites like Pretty Things, alongside rarer finds like Ballast Point's Victory at Sea) and some offerings that you don't often find in 6-packs in Boston (example: 6-packs of Sculpin IPA).
If I was in the area and needed to quickly pick up a cold 6-pack of craft beer, this would be my destination. BUT, I wouldn't make a special trip here, because the prices are notably higher than other area liquor stores. I'm not going to gripe and whine, because I'm sure the price points reflect the shop's rent rates & location, the well-curated selection, and the lack of competitors in the immediate area. That being said, all of the beer is at least a dollar or two (or three) higher than what I'm used to paying at most other liquor stores in Cambridge.
(If I worked at one of the nearby tech startups or biotech firms and quickly needed a cold 6-pack for an informal happy hour, I'd swing by in a flash --- which I'm sure is part of their business plan.)
