Raise your hand if you remember when Mason's was a few blocks down, inside of a converted bank -…read morewhere they'd have cool special events (like wine tastings) taking place in the old vaults from time to time. The odd thing about the current location: as you walk in it seems like a lot of the shelves are kind of empty ("Hey, maybe they're going out of business?") but then you start to take a slow stroll down the aisles and realize they have a ridiculous amount of (quality) stuff. Beers, wines, and liqueurs that you probably haven't seen or heard of before. The pricing is on par for competing liquor stores. They have a (awkward) parking lot which can be a lifesaver in this part of town. If you forced me to Sophie's Choice I'd say Rutherford Wine Shoppe is the overall better place (I mean... Mason's opening an hour later than RWS is the sole reason I don't get over this way that much) but Mason's is a damn fine spot for sure. Na zdrowie!

It's an okay place. Good prices on beers, but they are not consistent with their inventories of…read morebeers. The fridges have been quite empty lately. One time asked the male owner if he had more of a certain beer and he replied "I don't think so" and left it at that. His wife knew that was the wrong answer, got up and checked in the Fridge and came out with a four pack. The helpers they have are the same way. If you can't find it, they will not check for you. I rarely stop in anymore.

If you want to pay Manhattan prices in the midst of the splendor and glory that is East Rutherford…read moreNJ, this is the place for you. The selection was poor for a store this size. More importantly, the guy running the store was super rude. He didn't want to get off his phone to ring anyone up. He got short with someone who simply asked if he had a specific beer, saying that he was closing the store an hour early and wanted to get out, all while another customer was waiting at the counter for an extended duration. So glad I had enough bourbon with me in my hotel room that I didn't need to spend more than 2.5X the retail cost for a halfway decent bottle. Gives me enough time to go to another store that isn't going to try to price gouge.

Village Wines is right in the middle of things, so it is super convenient for these instances. It might not look like anything too fancy, but their selection is top notch! The store is a bit haphazardly arranged, but the prices are reasonable and the variety is vast. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area and in need of something for a dinner or another occasion.

The store is clean and well-stocked. Wooden shelves align the walls and display the various wines and spirits. The selection as far as my interests go is quite good. Numerous less-common bourbons can be found here, and for fair prices. Finally, where the place really shines is the owner. He is absolutely wonderful in every way. He is pleasant, courteous, kind, and helpful and will strike up friendly conversation with his customers. He will even try to procure various items for you that he doesn't have in stock. This nice touch keeps me coming back.

I personally looked at it, just to confirm. I was pissed at the fact that they didn't accept gift cards as a form of payment, other than that friendly staff and a great selection of wine and beer, they didn't have my foreign stout Guinness beer in stock though, but it wouldn't matter because they don't accept gift cards as a form of payment.... they did have Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (750 ml) in stock and an employee told me about Gloria also which is also good red wine etc. If you come here just make sure to bring cash or use your debit or credit card, don't bring a gift card here to use, I went to another local liquor store and used my gift card there instead and it worked!

This is a major draw for me. I have also purchased some interesting bourbons here that I have been unable to locate anywhere else, which is quite surprising in a good way. The store has a large selection and is clean and well-kept. Prices are a couple of dollars more than what you'd expect in some cases, but the convenience of stopping in while on a grocery shopping trip is a big selling point for me. Can staff be friendlier?
