Are you tired of walking into a liquor store and getting rushed or surly service (when you can even find the guys!)? I was! After trying several different liquor stores in my neighborhood & being annoyed at giving my money to folks who treated me like crap or like i was invisible, I decided to take a chance on Barrels & Stills. SO GLAD I DID! And so are my friends!
Prices are extremely good. If you know your prices well, you will immediately see that their prices are typically $2 cheaper per bottle than everywhere else. But what makes that even more attractive?.... SERVICE! When you walk in, you're greeted in a friendly & nice (but not follow-you-around) way, and when you ask questions you are given knowledgeable advice on characteristics of the beverage, suggestions at different price points, and even what that might go well with it if you're cooking that night.
They even had a cool wine-tasting even the other night! Put out cheese, crackers, fruit, etc - and had about 20 different wines, plus more liquors, for you to try. i brought 2 friends and made a little party out of it - they were thrilled at the prices (oh yeah, every wine we sampled was an additional $2 off that night!) and the upscale wines that were featured. I was thrilled because they also had amazing $10 cotes du rhones and a fantastic $8 prosecco (i'm a champagne & caviar kind of girl on a Recession Budget these days!)
So if you want to feel like a valued human being again when shopping for your liquor cabinet, or you want to expand your horizons with some knowledgeable suggestions, and all at a good dollar value, try this place!
