I used to frequent this place more often before I discovered the better beer stores in Huntington and Bellport. This place is clearly a notch below those. Thankfully, they’ve recently repaved the parking lot, which used to look like something out of Iraq. The store itself is cavernous with a dirty concrete floor. The day I visited it was raining and there were several pails and buckets spread about to catch the various roof leaks. The lighting needs improvement as well. Most of the space in the store is dedicated to cases of common beers and soda. The craft beers are on new shelves located in the front of the store. The selction is decent, but again, below the stores in Huntington and Bellport. Unless you live in the area or are driving by it, this is not worth a special trip.

I stop in here every few weeks or so, because I grew up around here, and still have friends in the area - the store is indeed gigantic (and cold, and damp, like they hollowed out an old auto shop and made it a beer store), but the section devoted to craft beer and imports isn’t really any larger than Big Z, Bellport, or the other Superstars - their selection is pretty much identical to the Superstar in Huntington, with one or two things missing - the staff is quite friendly, at least the one guy that always seems to be there when I visit is - he also knows his beer - there really isn’t anything I can say about this place that isn’t 100% true of the other superstar - Big Z and Bellport tend to get some of the harder to get beers, but the staff makes it worth coming to - in brief, if you live near it, or are in the area, check it out - if not, a visit isn’t really worthwhile for the hardcore beer hunter.

This place is huge...i stopped in this place after visiting the blue point brewery, its onle 5 min down the road. When you walk in i was greeted by the guy behind the counter( which is always nice) and he pointed me in the direction of what i wanted. They have a large section of what seems to be the biggest retail floor i have ever seen in a beer distributor dedicated to micros and imnports. they also have tons of stuff cold which is a major plus. The manager, Paul was very helpful and deffintily knows his beer. I was lookign for dogfish head Black n blue n he had it and gave me a whole discription on it before purchasing. Overall a great place to visit, deffintily rivals huntington SUperstar as the best beer storre on L.I. - Onlyprobelm is that they dont have their growler system up and runnig yet but its comin soon. Plus they will ship beer to other stores if you do not live around them...CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!!
