An amazing selection of wines liquors and beer. I was looking for some local brews to bring back up to the Adirondacks. Was able to find a couple 4-packs while having a pint at their store. The attendant was great and introduced me to THC drinks, which was intrigued by. A must stop location if you are looking for a beer/liquor/wine run....maybe a couple libations to drink if you are looking to quench your thirst! read more

I went in today to buy beer and I'm never coming back because the closer with the septum ring ignored my friend and I who just wanted his opinion on what IPA to get and after 3 random walk ins that he served before us, he finally sneaks up on me grabbing beer myself and then tells me to get the most expensive four pack for $26 and it was probably the worst beer I've ever had. It was also sweltering inside the store, so don't trust that guy and don't go to this place. read more

Long overdue review incoming. I really like this wine shop. They have another location in Jersey City that i have not been to yet. I have gone to this location more than several times in since 2023 and I have to say, I really do enjoy coming to this shop. It's a tight space, but large enough for the inventory it holds. Everything is clearly labeled and I'm always greeted by the employee on shift. I'm not one to interact with sales associates. I prefer to search on my own, but on the occasion that I have asked for help or accepted their help, it's been well received and useful. They don't chatter at you at all and the prices are fair. They have a wonderful wine tasting on Fridays that I keep saying I'll attend but it hasn't happened yet. They also offer beverages on tap and a limited selection of snacks. For as long as I'm comfortable coming in and out of the store, I will continue to shop here and give them my money. read more

I've been coming to Coolvines for years now and every time I go it's a great experience from customer service to selection, I always find what I'm looking for or something comparable. They literally have things that only a few other shops have in this area have and if they don't, they can get it for you. They have a great wine selection and are always super happy to help finding wines, beers, spirits or liqueurs that you like. This is almost my exclusive spot for spirits and wines but this is coming from a cocktail geek who can't find most of their selection in traditional liquor stores. This place just has a passion for what they do, they know their products and are knowledgeable enough to talk specific grapes or tasting profiles of most things in the shop. Most places you go staff do not have a passion or knowledge of product and that's what sets this place apart. You go for the selection, stay to geek out on specs and maybe have a drink. Let's go!!! SALUD!!!! read more

Subject: Kudos to Cool Vines in Newark Hello Fellow Newarkers and Visitors alike, I wanted to take a moment to give kudos to the city of Newark for providing a wonderful space to chill and connect at Cool Vines. It's one of my favorite places to relax, meet friends, or enjoy a quick meeting--whether you're there for a libation alone or with company. The team at Cool Vines is truly exceptional, and I'd like to highlight two of my favorites--William and Anthony. They are fantastic ambassadors for the brand and the overall experience. They create a comfortable and safe environment that makes you feel like you've escaped to a faraway destination. I highly recommend making Cool Vines one of your stops while you're in Newark. You won't be disappointed! Best regards, Anthony Smith Executive Director Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District Resident of Newark read more

OK y'all - (I'm from Texas, so I can officially say "Y'all"), this is a classy wine place with TONS of wine, but also a full liquor assortment and LOTS of craft beer varieties to choose from. You won't find any of the big brewery names here, but there are a lot of regional craft beers. It's located inside a shopping mall right across from a Whole Foods Market. Some of the wine is chilled in coolers, but most are on shelves at room temperature. ALL of the beer is on shelves at room temperature. But have no FEAR! They have one of those magical chilled water cooling machines that gets your wine or beer cold in 5 minutes flat. And if you want to hang out while your beverages chill, you can order beer or wine on tap. Not a huge selection on tap, but at least 5 or 6 choices. You can sit at the tiny bar inside, or you can sit outside their doors inside the mall area on their patio and sip your drink while you wait. The store was very clean, and new looking, and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Five stars for this place - absolutely zero complaints! P.S. - they also offer FREE gift wrap for purchases made here. Gotta love it! read more

Great prices, great service, the people the runs it are very polite and knowledgeable. Love this

So glad we came in here to grab some wine for dinner! We stopped at the Whole Foods and grabbed some steak and wanted some wine to enjoy with our dinner. My favorite wine is vouvray and we wanted to make sure it would pair well with our New York Strips. They helped us pick out the best bottle of Vouvray. They blast chilled the bottle knowing it was going to be opened for dinner (made me soooo happy). They had got a new shipment of gin and were offering samples. The energy in Cool Vines was AMAZING! The staff was friendly, fun, && extremely helpful! I will be here most often. read more

Love this place! Women are very knowledgeable about the different types of wine in the store, and there are great cocktails on tap! The store hosts events like wine tastings and silent parties. A nice little hidden gem! I love to pop in sometimes after a long work day! read more

I find it interesting that the owner responded to my review, which was not negative may I add, in such an arrogant way. Insinuating that I am a consumer of "cheap wine" because I said Coolvines prices can be expensive is quite insulting. As someone who patronizes this store quite often because unlike him, I am a member of this community, I will gladly find another store to purchase quality wine. I'll be sure to share this experience with other Yelp Elite members as well as friends who shop here too. read more

Really love it here. Great drinks and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They have a fantastic Happy Hour daily and do pretty cool events with other local businesses. read more

Solid craft beer selection featuring Icarus, Grimm, American Solera, Timber Ales, and more Unbelievably amazing customer service. Shout out to Elmer and Olajuwon who took great care of me. I walked in, looking for lactose IPAs. They recommended a couple and even went digging in the back. I had to run out before I could pick so they offered to hold onto my cans at the front until I came back later. PRO TIP: they keep single cans in the fridge. 10% discount if you get a six-pack. read more

What a nice place to visit. You can go and sample and the staff is very nice. They let me sample the cider apple which was smooth and I also tried another apple cider flavor drink which I wasn't a huge fan of . The service was top tier. And the ambiance is cool for the most part. There's a large amount of wine bottles and it's next to a Whole Foods so if you wan to grab food and sample drinks . Would be a nice vibe . read more

Such a fun and friendly place! They are so knowledgeable about their wines and are happy to find you the best wine for your buck. Excellent selection with written descriptions for almost every bottle. And oh yes, they do have $10 bottles here. Great 2nd stop after Whole Foods. read more

I discovered Coolvines during a weekend in Princeton and was rapt to discover one on my doorstep when I moved to Newark. Every recommendation has been top notch, from the Slovenian rose wine, to the obscure Polish-Spanish vodka and various craft beers and ciders. The truly cool thing about this place is that you can drink at one of the tables outside and BYO Food read more

Great drink selection to enjoy on their indoor patio. Outstanding liquor selection as well. Highly recommend stopping by for a cocktail.

Great experience here. The manager, John, is really responsive and they care a lot about customer experience.

Finally! A classy nice wine store in Downtown Newark. It has a nice curation of wines, liquor, hard cider, canned drinks, bitters, and other selections. Staff are extremely helpful. We bought a case of quality sake for a future party. The location is extremely convenient because it's right next to Whole Foods. So much better than the creepy, dusty sad bodegas in Newark. :-) read more

Great selection and curation on all of wine, beer, and spirits. Reasonable prices. Extremely knowledgable and friendly staff. Great location. This place has it all! read more

This place has a great selection of spirits. However, they profile incessantly. I am a lawyer but I am of color and am consistently profiled. I have addressed the issue with management with no resolve. Just beware. read more

I have had nothing but positive experience with the staff and products of this store. Everyone I have talked to has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the items in their store and liquors, beers, and wines in general. They clearly care about the experience of their customer and will be quick to respond in any way they can. In addition to this their selection has some great whiskeys and beers I haven't seen elsewhere. read more
