Went there Saturday. It’s a nice store. It has everything you could ever imagine for drinking. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
Calandros acts like they’re doing you a favor to tell you where something is. Not rude, but not eager, either. Q-Bin (Cuban liquor) has always had a good selection. High priced, even if it’s not high end. But they’re friendly and eager to assist.

Mom and pop don’t have to worry about Total Wine. Their location will be their undoing if BR and Siegen Lane continue trending as they are.

Same is true for Martins, BinQ, Hokus and Calandros. Does TW have a larger selection overall than any of these stores? Of course, because it's a massive box store for liquor. Most of their stuff is sourced out wine and liquor that they rebrand with some cool name and labelling, and then the helpful staff recommends that to you when you ask what's good. Yeah they are nice, but they are also selling you subpar products as premium suggestions.


Support your local businesses please and ignore people like tigerinthebueche. We don't need more corporate box stores closing down our neighbors' small businesses.

This has never been the case for me.
