Huge. That's the first impression. Definitely a "kid in a candy store" feel when you walk in.

Beer is in the middle of the back of the store. There are 2 aisles of four shelves each that have singles. Quite impressive. The back wall has 28 fridges which hold mostly beer. Mostly packs of beer. I didn't find what I was looking for [not a huge Belgian selection], but I still found plenty to take home.

Most impressive looking beer bottle: a 9 litre bottle of St. Feuillien!! Wish I could have fit that in my luggage to take home!

Good service. Friendly. Definitely a place worth stopping into. You won't leave empty handed.

They have a great beer selection beer selection. I think most people have said about the main beers they have and whatnot. They also sell kegs and I'm just waiting to get a keg of Stone Arrogant Bastard. They have a BIG wine selection and likewise with the liquor selection. I have been into 6 Lee's and for what I was looking for I think it has the 2nd best selection (I think the only reason I prefered the other place is because it was brand new and everything was full in stock and I found 3 bottles of Vertical Epic 06). This is the biggest out of all the Lee's and has the biggest beer selection also. I was really impressed and the entrance sign is almost intimidating on how big it is. I would definatly say make a stop here if you can though.

Uncle Jimbo hit on everything that makes this store great. Hands down best beer store in the Valley, at great prices. I was very surprised and a little saddened to find that they carried Kellerbrau Bamberg Ranchbier, after I had already smuggled 2 biers from my latest Bamberg trip. This is a perfect example of the great selection in store. Plenty of Rochefort 8s and 10s, Unibroue, Stone, Rogue, Ommegang, Allegash, New Belgium, among others. Whatever the style, you're sure to find it. The only things missing that I noticed...Alesmith, Westmalle, Dogfish Head, Cantillon. The only thing I could want more of from Lee's is some more California IPAs, which is a small, small complaint. But afterall, this place is mostly know for their wine selection, which is awesome as well.

Located on Sunset, almost directly across the street from Barley's Brewery & Casino. Like the store on W. Lake Mead Blvd., this is a warehouse style store with a huge wine selection, but with a very good beer selection, too. The beer selection is about as good as that in the W. Lake Mead store. Like the other stores, they stock quite a bit from the west coast, but there was also a good import section with many from Belgium at very good prices. Here are some of the beers that caught my eye on my recent visit: Firestone, Kona Brew, Rogue, MacTarnahan's, De Dolle Oerbier Reserva, etc. As with other Lee's locations they did not allow breaking up of six-packs, but there were some loose singles available in one of the refrigerated cases. I had a nice chat with the beer manager, and he seems to know his beer.

Definitely worth a visit especially if you combine it with a trip to Barley's.
