When this place first opened a year and a half ago I went there pretty regularly, but lately I go to the Saveon just east of it.

This is a nice clean place with a quality selection, but not as complete a selection as several others in Mentor (Saveon, World Wines, the beverage store on Andrews, to name a few). Still, everything I bought here was great. Prices in Ohio are pretty similar everywhere. They are right by the best record store in Northeast Ohio (Record Den). So go buy some vinyl and CD's and some great beer.

This store is in a strip mall. Nice store, but it definitely has some flaws. You really have to check the dates, because there are alot of beers WAY passed its prime.. there are some very old beers in there that don't benefit from age. If you look really hard, you might find some new releases. The workers are nice, but lack craft beer knowledge. They do have a nice selection, but since it's all old, so it doesn't really matter. There's a nice bomber selection, and some benefit from age, so that's a good thing. There's a walk-in cooler, w/ not much to speak about.

This place has all the potential in the world to be an amazing stop, but it needs consistency with rotating their beers.

Overall, this place isn't really worth checking out. Considering it's in-between Save-On Tobacco and World Wines, there's really no point in stopping here until somewhat of a makeover.
