Nice selection on draft for growlers, with an ever expanding bottle selection make this a must stop in the city. Growler pricing averages about $2-3 higher than anywhere else. Same with bomber prices.

Small but packs a decent selection of rare and hard to find beers. The prices are a tad bit high but its a smaller buisness. Worker seemed pretty intelligable about beer. All in all a valuable store for beer geeks everywhere close.

Bit small place. Beer set up is not as well designed as one might hope. Pleasant service was provided. Prices are on higher end. Solid selection but Premier is much better.

Several taps for growlers here and a large selection of non-alcoholic sodas as well.

Atmosphere has more character than say Premier or Consumers, but the primary reason for going here is location. SItuated betwen Coles and Blue Monk it is your most convenient bottle stop if you are planning to hit either of those places. Decent selection with some imports that the other shops don’t have, but they are typically priced accordingly (e.g. $$$) Growler fills are a nice option, and generally a solid selection of US micros. Bit less selection than Premier most of the time, but well worth a look if you have time.

Second best beer store in Buffalo with a beautiful, clean, and open layout and countless specialities items like gourmet meats and cheeses. Hundreds of bottles to choose from with 20 taps for growler fills. Expansive selection of American and Belgian micros with some impressive UK (Samuel Smith) and German (Ayinger) offerings as well. I grabbed a case of beer that included Fantôme Hiver, Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye and Red Rocket, Great Divide 17th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA, Victory Hop Wallop, Mikkeller IBeatU, and Ithaca Flower Power IPA, among others. The service on my visit was excellent as the clerk chatted to me the entire time I was shopping. He suggested a handful of noteworthy beers (particularly the new arrivals) and gave me a Bell’s HopSlam as I was checking out. Unbelievable! Overall, this is a must-visit when shopping for beer in Buffalo, although Premier has a slightly larger, cheaper, and in some cases fresher selection than Village. Still, I will undoubtedly be returning here when I find myself back in the city. An outstanding beer store.

Good beer section, although most of the time slightly more expensive than other outlets. Good tap selection for growlers. Belgian bottles leave some to be desired for. Barely any lambics are stocked. Overall it’s worth a stop in to check it out, the staff is generally very helpful and friendly.

Smallish beer section but it’s well chosen. Coolers at the back and a lot of gourmet food items throughout. It’s a good spot - but the selection is better up the road at Premiere Gourmet. It’s a good store - just not the best store in the area.

Great layout with low lit store. Helpful friendly staff. Good growler selection and walk in fridge. A tad on the pricey side vs premier. Bottles all seemed fresh. Selection is decent but not the best. Overall pretty solid.

Shop here often just wish they had a larger selection. A little expensive but I look at as paying for the convenience.
