The best thing about this place is Sam. The worst thing about this place is also Sam…read more What was great was that Sam made me feel at home and treated me like someone he had known for a long time. He took me to the back of his warehouse, gave me a free beer to drink, and engaged me in plenty of conversation. At one point, though, he said, "You look oriental, but you also look American." I'm pretty sure he wasn't meaning for it to be offensive, and I just discounted it as his being an old man who didn't know it was no longer politically correct to say things like that. This is not why I recommend against Caruso's, however. The reason why I'll never go there again is because Sam knowingly sold me expired beer. I was on my way back from the North Side to the East End where I live and after seeing these good reviews, I decided to stop by. I wanted a case of Yuengling, but Sam said, "Why don't you try this instead," and popped open a fresh bottle of Castello, an Italian beer. He had me drink it, all the while espousing its comparative taste to Yuengling at a cheaper price point. It certainly tasted alright, and a case of it was a couple dollars less than what Yuengling was going for. Since the Castello tasted fine, I ended up buying a case of it on Sam's recommendation. A few days later when I opened the box and drank a couple of the beers, however, I noticed that they tasted funny. That's when I looked at the label and saw how each of the bottles had its "sell by" date marked out in black Sharpie. You could see the numbers underneath the Sharpie, and the dates were for well over two years ago. So basically, Sam had convinced me to buy something he hadn't been able to sell, knowing that I lived in the East End and probably wasn't going to visit again anyway. Stale beer aside, there's another big reason not to go to Caruso's: Their prices are steep--$24 for a case of Yuengling. While Sam might be a more charming character than the young folks at my neighborhood distributor Pistella's, at least I know that Pistella's has significantly lower prices and actually has enough customers and product turnover that they won't purposely sell me something that's not fresh.

It helps that Caruso's is is rock throwing distance from my house, but even if it weren't, I would…read morestill love this place. Sam, the owner, has been running this family business since 1968. If it's your first visit, he'll give you a great history of the neighborhood and show you a bunch of old photos of the place. He keeps a good selection of beer in stock, mostly cases but sometimes can sell you a 12 pack. Anything that he doesn't have, he'll special order for you and call you when it's in. There's always a few choices of gluten free beers and ciders for those celiacs amongst us. The hours are Thursday - Saturday from 2 - 7pm, although sometimes Sam stays later if he's busy. He doesn't have a huge online presence, so give him a call if you want something special or have questions about the hours. He's a total delight.

Is it nice inside and does it make a warm and welcoming appearance? Yep. Does it have higher end wood finishes than your typical State Store? Yep. How about selection? Does it offer more than normal? No. Not even close. This store has less selection than the store in Ross it replaced. They've spent their (our!!) money on slick camouflage of an inherently outdated system. If the state is gonna spend money on their retail liquor operation let me suggest expanding availability and diversity, increasing efficiency of store operations, training employees to be knowledgable of not only their product but where it might actually be in the store. And I won't even talk about pricing. Ridiculous. This new format store is a joke. It's the same in each of the other versions of this I've been in as well. Is it about "presentation" and making spacious displays (wasted space!) and grouping wines under backlit wall signs? That doesn't do it for me. I'd rather have more variety, better service, and better pricing. Why is it that even with evidence of multiple employees on the job, you can't get anyone to help, open a second checkout line, or even give the pretense of caring? I am not a fan. I just hope they don't "convert" all their stores to this model.
