The Savvy Cellars

This is a big store, with an open, warehouse, liquor store feel. The wine is laid out nicely on wooden shelves, but the beer is relegated to a couple coolers, about 6 feet of shelves, and 2 stacks of boxes in the floor. The employees were very helpful, although beer is clearly not the focus. I bought some rum, and talk wine with one of the employees, but the beer was hardly worth looking at.

This store is geared towards wine rather than beer; nevertheless, they do have a respectable selection of local craft brews. Sure, there’s some industrial mega-brewed swill - but enough local craft beer to merit a visit if you’re in the neighborhood. Employees were scarce when I went in, but the man at the cash register was efficient and nice. Prices appeared to be reasonable, not cheap but not outrageous. Since I initially rated this, their beer selection has definitely improved. Recommended if you live and/or work in Sandy Springs, or are visiting.
