This place is fantastic. I have never been to the public market on a weekend. It was…read more.. overwhelming. I was staying nearby, an was planning a little picnic, I knew theif wine shop would be perfect. They have the bar setup in the middle, but I was feeling a bit crushed by all the people and just perused around the bottle area. Their selection is fantastic. They have it separated by location and cover all price points. Everyone can find something. I was given space to look around. Twice someone asked me if I needed help, but it was polite and not pushy. Once I found a Montepulciano I was interested in, someone came over from the bar to check me out. I asked him if it was possible to get one of the cheese trays to go, and was told it was no problem. He would ring it up for me and get right on it. He offered me a seat at the bar while I waited, but I was happy just looking at their other wine options. The cheese plate was super tasty, and a really good value at $15. There were four cheeses, grapes, almonds, crasins, and bread. We really liked the selection and were impressed with the size. Seriously nothing but good things to say. A wonderful reason to visit the market.

The bartenders are knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have and/or make recommendations based off your input. They are always very friendly. I enjoyed coming here with my partner to enjoy wine and people watch in the market. They have some tables to use or bar seating. They also have a full area where you can buy bottles from all over the world. Lastly they offer some snacks for purchase like charcuterie board, cheese, nuts, and other small plates.

Avenue is a straight up sketchy liquor store. There are always at least two guys panhandling out…read morefront, so be ready for that. Inside, they stock the basics - beer (mostly domestics with a few microbrews thrown in), wine (lots of "bum wine" but some ok bottles too) and lots and lots of malt liquor. The prices aren't too bad and the guy at the counter was friendly. If you're staying at one of the nearby hotels it's pretty much your only option for liquor in the area.

Discount Liquor prides themselves on their extensive selection of beers, wines, and liquors. And…read morethey're right to do so. I've found numerous niche products there. Five stars for variety alone! Unfortunately though, they and their distributors don't seem to remove old stock from the shelves. Too many times I've found beers over one year past their expiration dates. Now that I'm paying attention, I won't be shopping here nearly as much anymore. And while they advertise their low sale prices, they don't mention their everyday prices are actually a bit higher than other local stores. Charging more money than at other local shops for expired products is not a smart way to conduct business. If more people pay attention, the store's reputation will not necessarily keep the doors open. Please do better.

The tasting we attended was free, and the rep was friendly and knowledgeable. They didn't have a particular wine we were asking about, but offered to order it for us, and it arrived within a few days. If paying with a card, there is a fee, as with many places these days, so bring cash if you'd like to avoid a fee.
