Spirits Unlimited - Crossroads Plaza

Address is 2 not 1, you would have to detour. Very decent bottle shop, go to the coolers and get fresh beer, avoid the shelf museum. Good though not best in NJ.

Quite a good bottle shop. Easy to get to and plenty of parking in Toms River near the Turnpike and 37. Very engaged employees and a very solid selection (both local, east coast regional, sour beer, barrel aged beer and a decent selection of lambics that don’t often make their way to the west coast). They also have a 12 tap growler bar that includes several locals taps (1 each dedicated to Carton and Kane). The growlers are extremely well priced (32oz of very good DIPA for $6.99 including the glass?!). Overall a worthy stop in the area.

New review to clean up my mAny updated one. General looking store with a large craft selection that seems to grow. Growler station in front of store. The thing is that they seem to stock craft but don’t seem to know it, or don’t care to help you at all. I have been to this place a bunch of times now and have never been asked for help or even been told hello. When someone does ask for help they seem to be angry and have a "face" on. In fact when a women asked for a fall seasonal they thought they had but,maybe, didn’t they seemed to stand there and blame someone and make comments about other employees. I love their selection but what I don’t like is to shop in a place that doesn’t seem to want me. Despite that fact that this place is close to me I continue to drive to PA to get my bigger shopping done. They need a beer guy here. I updated the score to reflect the increase in product.

One of the newer Spirits in the area. Typical liquor store feel. One of the better selections of craft beers. Decent beer at the growler station as well. Employees are friendly and Manager Phil is a good guy. Definitely one of my go to shops.

This is a brand new construction that is big and clean. Sort of like the cookie cutter chain stores of alcohol. Selection is solid and they do get in most of the newest beers BUT they really need a beer guy that knows beer. I’m not impressed when I see a giant stack of DIPA bottles sitting out on the floor when there is a huge cooler section 20 feet away where they can easily store those bottles. Prices seem okay on bottles. Like lots of other NJ beer stores the growler bug had bitten and they have jumped aboard. Talk about overpriced, holy F’n Sh!t Batman!!!! I can almost 100% guarantee that if there is a regularly available beer on the station that 64oz of growler beer is alway more then it’s 72oz individualy packaged counterpart. "Why sure Spirits I would love to pay $12.99 for 64oz of Prima Pils when I can get 72oz for $9.99 because I have zero math skills". Come on lets get this growler shit under control please. If your in the area or passing by sure this place is solid, drive here for rare gems, no but hell there is nowhere that you can do that at anymore.
