Spirits Unlimited

Okay I had to look this up on the map to make sure it was really the place I thought it was. Meh, I don’t really think it belongs here but I guess it’s borderline and it does appear that they’re trying at least. And the selection is decent enough that I hit them up once every couple of months when I don’t feel like driving three minutes further to Spirits Red Bank (not affiliated, btw) because this is closer to work. As the other rater noted, what small amount of unrefrigerated space they have dedicated to beer is mostly jam packed with decent, if uninteresting, micro and craft brews. Broad range of styles on hand, but limited selection within style. Lots of dusty bottles maybe old, maybe just because of nearby foot traffic, but it’s disconcerting nonetheless. Nobody has ever approached me to assist while I’ve spent time staring at their shelves of beer. The ability to buy single 12ozers is nice. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking to grab some beer to have with your pizza at Ninette’s.

Haven’t been to this Spirits in quite a bit. Well the did a nice job with the beer department. They have a good selection of micros which are all available by the single bottle or six pack. Single 12oz beers go from 1.99 to 2.12. You can also make your own six for a set price ($8.99). Bad part is that most of the micros are kept warm seeing how they do not have many coolers. The cooler space is occupied by mostly macros. Still I appricate the selection and the beer guy was friendly and helpful.
