Buyer beware this discount beer charged $26... for 12 pack can Stelle Artois that sells for $16.99 at Wegmans and ither stores in the area. That is one heck of a markup! read more

We have been going here since they opened. We don't go anyplace else for beer if we don't have to. Seems a couple reviewers got their panties in a bunch. read more

I was a regular customer...I loved this place, until my visit today when the cashier flatly refused to wear a mask when helping customers (during the COVID pandemic). Now I won't return - no respect for this business at all. read more

Everything about this place is fantastic. The beer, the staff, the location - awesome. I'm a native of the area but have since moved away to the magical beer-laden Pacific Northwest city of Portland, Oregon, and it was so great to meet people as fanatical and genuinely knowledgeable about beer as the manager, Rich, and staff member, Adam. From complex and robust IPAs and hefeweizens to the ol' tried-and-true Genny Cream Ale, Grand Central Discount Beer offers myriad styles of beer for any palate. Options are unlimited, as you can select single bottles as well as make your own six-packs. They also offer kegs. We found several beers that sounded very appealing but just couldn't commit to buying them based on the literature on the bottle, so we were even given samples - "try before you buy" doesn't happen everywhere, people. Keep in mind, you can't sample everything in the store (for obvious reasons), but what a great way to do business. The staff was very well-educated on just about every beer we had questions about and definitely gave us MORE than the time of day in helping us find something that would be sure to satisfy. When you offer domestics, imports, AND the hundreds of new microbrews that are as popular as ever, this is hard to do, but they did a wonderful job. One of the best things about the craft beer industry today is that everybody in the U.S. is getting their hands into it, including the Elmira/Horseheads area. Stopping by this place not only gives you the opportunity to try something other than that nasty Bud Light in the bottom of your fridge but also allows you to support new local businesses and breweries - everybody wins! Stop by on your way home from work, pick up a keg before the game, whatever - just come by and see what they have to offer and you can thank me later. Friends don't let friends drink crap beer. read more

Fantastic selection, excellent prices and they were open when PA stores were not. lol. Made a road trip here to get supplies during covid. The store was safe and took precautions. Highly recommended. read more

Some beer stores are run by people who love beer and love to talk about their favorite brewery. Others are beer discounters where you go for a case of the cheapest beer for your nieces birthday party. This is a discounter. The person at the cash register could care less. Check it out. You might find something you haven't seen before but unlikely. You won't get any help. read more

They are great! they are quick to offer suggestions and help, they offer sampling of a few drafts and they have growlers. recently stopped in for a growler for a friend after sampling what they had for fills I wasn't sure and they suggested a gift card to go with the growler so they can choose what they want. Great idea and my friend loved the gift! I like their variety.... its extensive and great prices especially on domestic beers. They also often have sampling/tastings going! I heard around the holidays there was growler engraving but I'm not sure if this is fact or fiction...... will update when I get confirmation. read more

Great selection of beer and cider, with many available cold, with a few on tap as well....very friendly and knowledgeable staff..
