Valley Wine & Spirits

August 14, 2007
I go there alot at least once a week. The store seems like it has been improving over the past month or so, they even started selling sinlges again on top of having a decent bomber selection. Its a large store and for a beer lover you can always find something you like, you wont walk away unhappy or empty handed.

What a Change ! Came into the store over a year ago and wasn’t impressed. Lacked customer service. Been back , and as of late the place is terrific! Better selection, and the employees are eager to help. Definitely pleased at were the store is now, but has a little more to go to be outstanding.

I have been here many times. I used to go to school right there. The beer selection is good. No singles though. Six packs. You can get Dogfish Head, Weyerbacher, and others. Decent place.

The selection at Valley is above average and pricing is good on most items, but stock can sometimes be rather old. The staff is totally clueless........about beer AND basic retail skills. Items rarely ring up for the right amount and your checkout experience can be a total horror story. Management needs to get this place in check. Valley used to be decent, now I recommend avoiding it like VD. (Update: They’re now allowing singles and have been weeding out most of the moronic employees.....unfortunately, it looks like it’s too late, from the amount of empty shelf space, I’d say this place is on borrowed time.)

Definitely no singles allowed here, which is sad as they had a good selection of six packs. Not so many big bottles. Can get Yards, Weyerbacher, Hannsens lambics, Troegs, Victory, a bunch more. Prices are very low. They need to step it up and allow singles.

I was looking for a bottle shop here in my area that would allow me to buy singles out of 6 packs. Called them and asked them if that is allowed. The guy on the phone said yes, we do allow that. After doing about 30 minutes worth of shopping and having a handbasket full of singles, The cashier and manager gave me a dumbfounded look when I went to ring up my order, like I was on crack. So it was a complete waste of my time. To make a long story short, the workers have no idea of what is going on there.

This place is great. They have a lot of different beers and a LOT of great ones. I highly recomend this place but be warned: The kids at the register are INCOMPETENT. I bought a 12 ounce bottle of something they sold in a six pack and got charged for the six pack. Didn’t notice until I was home in Maryland. Just check your stuff. But if you are in North Jersey this is THE place to go for beers.

This place is huge! I don’t know of a place in North Jersey that has a wider beer selection than here and the prices are decent. Its also in a prime location and is pretty busy, which should insure a high turnover rate. Their web-site doesn’t have a beer list (though they do have a wine list) but if you type the name of the beer you’re looking for in their search feature, it will let you know if they carry it and also give you a price. If you buy wine, sign up for their free club card (unfortunately, Its never good for beer). Bonus: If you go on a Saturday afternoon, there is usually a free wine tasting featuring about four different wines.

This is a wine and beer store, kind of set up like a warehouse. There are two guys in charge, Rick and Drew. Rick is a BEER guy. Knows his brews, and service is excellent.
