Came in here around 9pm to get some beer. When I walked in, the store workers were having a lively conversation with a customer. I went for my favorite beer, checked the "made on" date, and saw that it was too old to taste decently (its also $2 more expensive than I can get elsewhere). I saw my second favorite (they dont have a huge craft beer selection, but they do have some really good ones), checked the date on that, picked it up and walked up the cashier expecting to get as friendly a greeting as the other guy who was in before me (who had since left). Instead, I saw them watching the TV monitors intently.. you know, the ones with the split screen that show the store from every angle. I was the only one in the store at that time, so I have to assume they were watching me. I put my beer on the counter and was met with stone cold faces. It was actually uncomfortable, and it wasnt the first time. Ive had some really great customer service from here in the past and they have later hours than other package stores in the area, but unfortunately the bad experiences stick out the most, and the last several times Ive gone thats what Ive gotten. I dont steal, and Im not just an ATM transaction. If youre going to hawk-eye people, at least try to be discrete about it. 3 stars for selection, -1 star for customer service.

I pass by this liquor store all the time and decided to stop in. What a mistake. They state that all prices are at state minimum, which is absolutely not true. Admittedly, most of their prices are not bad but their overall selection of products is terrible as half the shelves in the store are empty. But perhaps the worst aspect of this establishment is their customer service, or complete lack there of. Nobody greets you as you enter the store. Staff members will just look at you as you peruse their selections but wont offer any assistance or advise. Even when you do bring an item up to purchase, there is a complete lack of regard for you as a customer. I will never set foot in this store again and would never recommend it to anyone.

Thank goodness Hamden has a choice and for a 2nd time I was reminded never to go into this establishment. Overpriced and not too friendly to boot. Im guessing they have their regulars and even to them I offer some advice..Shop around there are quite a few within a one mile radius. Youll be pleasantly surprised. You do have a choice.Describe your experience

Stopped in to look for Nebcos Imperial Stout Trooper for a friend and bought a 4 pack....at a ridiculous price of $5.99/can. Another friend told me they got it for $10.50 for 4; less than half the price. Absolutely will never come back here.

The employees are great, they never complain when I bring my bicycle into the store (to avoid theft). They are always nice and when I ask for a recommendation they are always helpful. Good people.
