You would walk by this place dozens of times and not realize what gems it holds. Hell, I've walked…read moreby it tons of times and paid no attention. Then one day I walked in and realized that I'd been cheating myself out of quality liquors. Varsity Liquors isn't much aesthetically, but like the name implies, it holds an excellent "variety" of just about all spirits. Being that I'm a rum snob, I was thrilled to see they carried some of my favorite high end rums, and at normal prices. They also have an excellent wine and champagne selection. You can have your "variety" of everything from regional wines, to great choices of rose champagne. Everything is well laid out and easy to find given the small size of the store. Aside from the higher end stuff, they also have all the beer basics, mixers and bar snacks you would find at a half decent liquor store. Great spot!

Princeton Corkscrew is a standout wine destination in town. The shelves are thoughtfully…read morecurated--full of small-producer gems and global varieties--and every bottle feels hand-selected with care. What truly sets the shop apart is the team: the staff are warm, knowledgeable, and eager to guide you to the perfect pairing, whether you arrive with a detailed brief or just tonight's dinner menu. Laurent, the owner, leads by example. His genuine passion for wine and hospitality creates an inviting atmosphere where you never feel rushed or out of your depth. Talking with him is like getting a mini masterclass, and his recommendations consistently impress. The store doesn't always have every bottle back in stock, but you can always discover an equally exciting alternative for your meal or occasion. My only request is for the city to convert the permanent parking spots directly in front of the shop into a 5-10-minute loading zone reserved for Princeton Corkscrew customers.

A WINE SHOP THAT SELLS NO BAD WINE!…read more One of the mottos we wine drinkers have frequently heard is "Life is too short to drink bad wine!" This is the credo of the Princeton Corkscrew. This well researched and mindfully assembled "wine library" has best representatives of even the tiniest microclimate where wines of note are produced. The associates working beside the owner Laurent Chapuis are well-studied connaisseurs who can talk intelligently about every bottle in the shop. Before a new bottle is placed in the racks it has been tasted and discussed by members of the team. Laurent, himself, visits the winemakers and the terroirs to select only the best examples and best vintages for his shelves. Open tastings invite we consumers to meet the makers and taste their wines including vertical samplings which educate us. I've never visited a better educated shop than the Princeton Corkscrew. And I have never bought a wine that didn't live up to its portrayal. Good advice. Good information. Good pricing. GREAT WINE! Merci Laurent!

Most places can sell you a six pack and a bottle of Stoli at a decent price but let's just say a little guidance is in order on the vino side of things. In some venues you can just reach for the coolest label, cross your fingers and hope for the best (as I have) or... you can ask someone who knows a thing or two. That's why you come to Bottle King. It's that simple and worthy of five easy stars.

No, it's not going to stock South African Shiraz or the latest reincarnation of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer but when you really need adult beverages in a pinch, PWL is always there.

They sat us in a corner, no breeze and learned their AC and fan has been broken for years. Couple next to us sat down said its too hot and left in less than a minute. We stuck it out and was glad we did. Their take on an amaretto sour was very tart and vibrant, a new favorite. Reisling was nice and sweet. Main course was papardelli, fresh pasta. Fully enjoyed that. Friday special ia chicken parm, was cooked nicely. However when we discussed dessert we just were too hot to have another drink and have dessert which is a shame. Not sure why they haven't fixed this know air issue, they are loosing sales.... What kept it 4 star for us was the wait staff. Jordan was extremely friendly and efficient, as well as the other staff that took care of us. Would love to go back, but maybe in late fall/winter unless they fix their fan/ac issue.

But, I wasn't blown away by any of the courses, unfortunately. The only dish that stood out as being really good were the rice balls. Everything else was just average-and that makes me really sad because I have been looking to try this place FOREVER, especially since we had our wedding reception at their sister restaurant that closed almost twenty years ago--and their food blew me away. Collectively, we ordered calamari- bland, arancini-delicious, crispy eggplant-bland and dry. I ordered the crab agnolotti which was just, well.... bland. My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit. An overall nice experience, but since the food is the star... I'm not sure if I will return.
