This is one of my favorite wine shops primarily due to the selection and price. They have a great selection while also not overwhelming: wine from all over the world. I also appreciate the staff recommendations and ratings, which are helpful to tasting new wines and finding those new gems. I find their prices are most often a notch under other wine/liquor stores (even wine.com), so I make a point of buying here, especially if I'm buying extra for guests or a gifts. If I ever need hard liquor, I would definitely buy at Wine Barrel - also excellent selection at the best prices.
Best beer store I've found in New Jersey. Craft beer from the best breweries of NYC, NJ and beyond is kept cold and generally very very fresh. They also have an interesting assortment of midrange craft. Wine Barrel is a gem.
Best craft beer selection I've seen in New Jersey. Super nice staff and owners, very knowledgeable
This wine/ liquor store definitely gives other places a run for their money! The liquor section is really great and unique and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. I got to have a 10 minute conversation with one of the workers who walked me through a series of liquors i had never heard of but was super intrigued by! I ended up getting 2 specialty liquors at really great prices I can't wait to try them! Definitely will be back again!!
This is the best liquor store in the freaking universe, not to say anything of the New York Metro area. I mean, they have a display of 30 Rose's that are all dry, and in the bourbon section they carry Willett Distillery(my FIL would flip). The guys are super nice and even gave me a free toter bc I forgot my bag. Three cheers for the Wine Barrel. Hip-hip, Hooray! Hip-Hip, Hooray! Hip-Hip, Hooray!
This is the best liquor store in the area. They always have ample stock and are friendly and knowledgeable about all the different wines, beers & liquors in the store! The atmosphere inside the store is great too! I love when they have the tastings in the store as well as the tastings outside. I wish they did them more often! Great job you guys!!!
This is a great shop for whatever your tastes prefer. Great selection of Spirits and Wine. The Owner is very friendly and helpful. If you're into beer speak to Paul, Jay and the rest of the Team. Awesome Guys and fellow Jet Fans ;~}
This store is really fantastic. Location is easy with ample parking. It is a moderately sized shop - not Wine Library or Total Wine & More scale - but large enough to feel roomy and to offer a substantial selection without overwhelming. They have it all here. Wine from just about any region you could want, practically any spirit your little heart desires, and of course the beer. Man, if you are a beer enthusiast, this place is a must. The first time I came in, it was quickly to grab a bottle of wine for a party. I glanced at the beer coolers and thought to myself, "Self, you should really come back here again and investigate those beer coolers when you have more time." So I eventually did just that and I almost fell over when I realized the extent and depth of their collection. The entire back wall of the store is pretty much composed of beer coolers. There is also a fairly impressive bottle selection that is unrefrigerated (porters, stouts, Belgian, etc). The kicker is the beer cave behind the coolers. That's where the real goodies are and if you look carefully or ask one of the attendants, you never know what you might find back there. To top it all, the staff are always super friendly and helpful. The prices are fair and if I have ever been searching for something they didn't have, they offer to get it. Soup to nuts, this is just a really great small business and an excellent member of the community, not to mention the best liquor store in the area hands down.
