5 Stars: Head and shoulders above the rest (by Marty F.)

This is my favorite store for beer. They don't have the vast selection of some of the bigger stores, but they have a great variety of beers I like and many more I would like to try. They obviouslty know a lot about beer and stock their cooler accordingly. Whenever I feel like trying a new beer, I just chat with the cashier: all of the staff are full of useful information. Apart from the Brick Store, this is the next best reason for a beer lover to visit Decatur.

5 Stars: Great wines, beers, and prices (by Shai Tung L.)

This is the nicest liquor store I've ever been to; sounds weird, but it is true. This store is clean, welcoming, friendly, and classy... everything you don't normally think of when thinking "liquor store."

The selection here is the best I have encountered. The wines are all good and all seem to be well-priced. The wines are organized so well that I can find just what I want without having to decipher some cryptic sorting system, as with most wine stores.

I also love the beer cooler here. Every time I come in for a bottle of wine, I also get a new beer. I dunno how many kinds of beer they have, but I think it will be a long time before I repeat.

Oh, and I have to say, this is one of the friendliest stores I've been to. The people are genuinely friendly; none of that over-exuberent shouting you get at franchises. It seems like they're really having a good time and just want to share.

4 Stars: Staff are super helpful! (by Theo T.)

I love the staff here. They are friendly and seem to an amazing amount about wine, beer, and liquors. Ask for Robert; I think he knows everything! Really, it was pretty amazing what I learned from talking to him.

Picking a wine can be a difficult experience if all you have to go on is the label on the bottle. Here, all i have to do is tell Robert what I want the wine for, and he is full of suggestions. The wines he's found for me have been *outstanding*! He also turned me on to some beers I never even heard of. Wonderful stuff.

PROS: Super staff, great selection
CONS: Entrance is at an odd angle to Lawrenceville Hwy.

5 Stars: Best selection in Decatur (by Ed P.)

This little package store has the finest selection I've seen. They have a great pick of wines, a bunch of really interesting beers, and a humidor full of good cigars. Oh, and they have all kinds of liquors and liqueurs, from cheap to top-notch, and from typical to rare. I'm not much of a drinker, yet I can't keep away from this place.

PROS: Amazing selection, very helpful staff, good location
CONS: Not many really cheap items, but prices oerall were pretty good
