I don't know, but if it is anything like the Lafayette locations then it will be ballin. They like to present themselves as offering beer/liquor/wine at good prices. I've only had their Veal Palermo which was pretty decent but they were very good in matching a good wine. Truth be told I don't remember the wine but it was good so take it for what it's worth...

This is correct. They are not open yet. Still working on the buildout inside. They were hoping to be open already but there were delays with contractors, etc.

I can't wait. I have had to buy my shite from Albertsons or Calandros since then, and Marcello's is closer and often has a better selection/prices

Just wine, booze and beer, or will they do the cigars as well? A small selection of great cheese would be cool as well.

Awesome, I guess I'll be making the trip to BR tomorrow after work. Hope to see the usual Friday crowd back there.

How big is that space--looks small. More room than the other building?

Anyone know what's going on with the old building?

Yeah, the regulars will be lurking. The bar is only a few feet away behind the store.

You will be shocked. The new space is much larger. There is a lot of space in the back that you don't notice until you get inside.

I assume you mean the old Cuban Liquor building at 3911 Perkins? The tailor people next door bought it.
