Fabulous beer selection with many exotic micros and imports. Doesn’t look like much from the outside but worth a stop.

Renowned as one of the best places to buy beer in the city. Ambience is about average with most customers way more interested in purchasing lottery tickets and renting u-hauls than buying good beer. Service is a bit sketchy. Most of them aren’t terribly knowledgable on the beer, but one or two of them can speak to it. Selection is very good. Mostly cold, but some of the better stuff (Alesmith, Stone, Rogue) is available warm or cold. Pretty decent place.

Stopped in here for the first time tonight with a group of locals. Seemed nice enough. Good selection of cold beers and those in singles and on the shelf. Lots of beers I had never heard of or seen in other local stores.

Good Selection overall. Not a lot of obscure beers, but a good solid selection. Mix and match six packs, and special orders make this a place worth checking out

It’s your typical gas station/ convenience store atmostphere, just a bit bigger with quite a large beer selection. The staff was mostly occupied with the random store traffic but supposedly they do special orders and there was a sign that said so. Beer is mostly in coolers, with some options for mixing a six pack, although most sixers could not be broken up. Solid regional selection, not a ton of imports. Worth a stop, just make sure you hit up From the Vine first

This place doesn’t really cry out "Come buy micros and imports" here, but they do have them. Selection is better than average, but you won’t find too many truly rare or different beers/brands here. Lots more six packs than singles, but sometimes they have some good beer specials in the last row on the left side (e.g. 12 pack of Fuller’s ESB for $5.99!). Maybe I’m just spoiled with the many "Essential" bottle stores in the greater Cincinnati area...

Today was the first time I had stopped in there in almost a year, and the selection was exactly the same as it has always been. I’m still waiting to see Apu behind the counter there though. The service is pretty weak compared to some other local stores, the clerks won’t go out of their way to help at all, though supposedly they do special orders. The selection is solid, but there aren’t more than a handful of beers that you can’t find elsewhere in Columbus. I guess if I lived closer to it I would probably like it more, but by the time I drive there, I may as well have just gone to Palmer’s or From the Vine.

A shady looking joint, but certainly not in a bad way...it’s just old. A great variety is what this place is all about, most stuff you’ll want...others not so much. Most of the beers are in six packs, then a decent amount of bombers and pint bottles as well a single Belgians. The singles to mix a six with are usually unexciting, and about the only bad thing about the place. The service is friendly, though not intrusive, so you’ll have to ask for help if you need it. They also have some great specials from time to time. Living no more than a minute and half drive from this place is what got me into craft beer in the first place. I visit at least once or twice a week.

Lots of micros and imports. Some local stuff too, Buckeye brewing and Columbus brewing. All kept in fridges for quick consumption. Some singles though I wasn’t all that impressed with the selection there. A good place to go if you are in the area.
