    You might want to expand on this if you want to start a conversation. Four reviews and three say the prices are reasonable.

    true, but I have also heard they are not very nice to the staff.

    Eastern Main Line , just west of the city. Actually, there is a new place called The Greeks in Narberth which is closer to the city.

    I think I paid $11 for a 4 pack of low ABV beers. Levitation, Yards Philly Pale and Brawler, and Bitter American. At the time they had Bolt Cutter for $30.

    it wasn't overpriced when they were selling 50/50 eclipses for $20.
    hit or miss. mostly overpriced, but sometimes a good deal.

    Hit or miss but their selection is very good. Watch out for old bottles

    Some bottles are over priced (still cheaper than Capone's), but you can also find some pretty good deals. Go on a Tuesday as comfortablynirm said and 10% right there. Staff has always been real nice to me, though I can see how some might see some of the guys as a bit stand-offish, pretty sure the one dude is a viking. Either way, any place you can walk into a bottle shop of that size and drink on site is a-ok with me. Hell, one night they were playing Terminator 2 on the TV.
    Draft list is well thought out and not overly expensive. Besides... it's in Armore, and we all know the mythical lands Ardsmore, deep within the magic mountains of Haverfjord is expensive anyway. Fucking unicorns ain't cheap.

    I stopped in and asked on the off chance for cherry rye. Was told it hasnt been released yet. I know kop, malvern, capones and even maris in reading had gotten theirs. Plus some of their prices were quite high

    Eh, I liked it....I've found like almost every other bottle shop, they had some overpriced stuff and some good deals, if you know what you're looking for and what you should pay. I thought their selection was very good, and considering it is less then a 10 mins drive form my girlfriend's parents house I was glad to be able to buy single bottles in PA finally and not have to go to a bar in Philly or Capones.

    I say the more bottle shops in PA selling single bottles of great beer the better.

    That is golden. Even if this place's high prices are on par with every other bottle shop in Philly, you can make out pretty well. $25 for almost 4 sixers of quality stuff is a great deal, and you get more variety. I'll bite.
