This place probably has the best beer selection in Willimantic (for a package store) as long as you…read moredon't mind the jacked-up prices, and the need to look at the "best by" dates. They carry harder to find beer (Dogfish Head 120 min, NEBCo's Gandhi-bot, etc) behind the check-out counter at unreasonably high costs. I found some great beer there, only to notice that the "best by" date was about six months earlier.

Not only is there no wheelchair ramp for rolling a half-barrel down on a hand truck, but no one on staff appears physically capable (nor willing) to assist. You will need a hand getting it down the steps, and into your vehicle. Bring a strong friend!

I can't fault the products (except for the corn which was terrible) or the service. Everyone there…read moreis very nice even if a lot of them still wear face diapers. What prompts me to write a bad review is their "Black Lives Matter" banner where you can't fail to miss it AFTER you have given them your money. That organization is disgraced for a lot of reasons including embellishment, fraud but its their central message that is rotten to the core. The BLM -- and those who support the BLM -- say that some lives are more important than others. That isn't true. They also imply that the lives of police officers are worth nothing at all. ALL LIVES MATTER! These banners with the fists in the air are implying that violence against police officers is OK. They are saying that any officers (even minority officers) who shoot in self defense against a minority suspect is racist. I guess even the Black Cops are supporters of this white supremacy movement that we hear so much talked about but see zero evidence of.

Frozen local meats in the back left corner that were intriguing. There are deals to be had if you're willing to take a minutes to peruse the booklets on display at the entrance. Kind employees, slighty aloof but charming, although I haven't required much service besides checkout. The 3 or 4 times I've been, there have been homeless or disenfranchised men outside but they've generally been harmless besides asking for cash. Just expect it.

There are times when I get on a health kick and stop drinking for a stretch (I know - crazy, right?) but I'll still stop in to play the lottery or something, not just because I'm a lonely old woodland hermit who talks to his hounds, but because they are genuinely awesome locals in a very authentic New England packy.

He actually tried to haggle the price with my delivery guy, instead of doing the right thing. This place is a very shady business and I do not recommend it at all.

The inside room was very good, but the concert area is fantastic. Plenty of room (it's a huge field ), great sound, great staging area, and band was terrific.

They have added a music stage out back, they have tons of outdoor seating and have put a large tent to add some shady spots to sit. It's counter service inside, but during the summer there are folks who will come around and check in on you and collect glasses etc. If you're a fan of dark delicious beer give the Knockin' Boots a try, and if you're an IPA fan you can't go wrong with the Dad Bod! I'd recommend following them on FaceBook and Instagram to hear about all the great events they host.
