College roommates and I were driving through to get a break from campus. Customer service was through the roof and honestly good vibes all around. Thanks for being so kind!

My go to liquor store in the area. Great selection of liquor, beer, & wine. Their selection of bourbon is second to none in the area and their prices are fair. The raffles of highly allocated spirits is another great service and provides an opportunity to purchase items that are almost always sold out or reserved in the state. Last, but not least, their staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable about the products they carry.

Thanks for being one of the good ones Barzinis! This place has been here as long as I can remember and Im old. 🧙‍♂️. You have ALWAYS been cool and fair and friendly. Rock solid local small business that has stood the test of time for good reason, very worthy of our business. 🥳

Awesome experience every time. Great selection of products. From high end bottles to wine and spirit standards, these guys carry it all. Have purchased several big bottles and prices are always spot on! Recently acquired a kegerator and the staff was incredibly helpful in selecting a keg, sharing tips for best results, and making the experience a great one. Will continue to go back in the future any time we need a great bottle of wine or liquor.P.S. Their cigar collection is excellent as well. Truly can’t recommend them enough!

Brought a $15 vape, and it died very quickly was advertised to be 2500 puffs and was well under that. Went to the store to see what they could do and they wanted me to pay an additional $15 for another one. Although the owner admitted to some of the vapes being faulty.

I stopped in to see about getting some craft beers and specialty ales that dont seem to be available where I live. I was greeted with a friendly hello when I entered, and the place is clean and organized. They seem to have a decent selection of items to choose from, though a bit pricey in my opinion. But I was very satisfied with what was offered, and would definitely try them again when Im in the area. I think its important to support the small, independent liquor stores if you can.

Barzinis is my go to liquor store! Not only can you find nearly anything from liquor, beer, snacks and other party favorites, the staff is also welcoming and very knowledgeable. Kumar makes my day better everytime we see him, hes always joking with my boyfriend and me and can change any bad day into something better. I definitely recommend everyone (21+ of course) to go check it out!

Always helpful and knowledgeable staff! And they have a great memory too.I thoroughly enjoy the variety in selection, and rotating sales help make trying new things more affordable.I very much enjoy the different tasting events they offer, though they dont seem to come around too often.

Love this place! Fantastic, unique collection of alcohol, wine, spirits and beer. Great customer service. I had a large purchase for an event and two employees and a friendly customer offered help to carry it to my car!

This place is great. Its not as overwhelming as Johns and you can actually see all the selection. If they dont have it, they will certainly try to get it for you. Very up to date with the local breweries and have their own collaboration with Cedar Ridge and Big Grove coming soon.

Ive been purchasing my libations from Barzinis for years. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff ... always greet you by name. More than willing to special order something for you if not part of their stock. Wish I could give more than 5 stars because this is my favorite small business!

Consistently the most enjoyable liquor-purchasing experience Ive had. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their domain and they frequently host liquor, wine, or beer tasting events. Loyalty program is effectively a 2.5% discount.

Review №14

This place is a nice alternative to Dirty Johns for craft beer. Not a huge selection but they get in a good amount of top shelf beer. There is always someone friendly and knowledgeable behind the counter to help you pick something out. At times they get in some rare beers so its nice to have this store to check if youre trying to hunt something down. The liquor section appears to be vast, but I dont drink liquor so I wouldnt really know what to say about it other than that.

Ive stopped by here a few times just looking for a bottle or a six-pack before heading home. Each time the guys working seemed genuinely interested in seeing if I needed help selecting something, and on a couple occasions they gave me fantastic recommendations. Pleasantly surprised by this place!

I stopped in their store on either a Monday or Tuesday evening, I cant remember which, looking for a specific brand. It was not in stock, so I asked if they EVER stocked it, or just happened to be temporarily out. I was informed that they did not happen to stock it at all, but would be happy to get some for me. On Wednesday, I was personally called and a voicemail left on my phone (my phone # is on file, as a member of their rewards program - worth doing) said that it was in! Sorry, we dont carry it turned to Come in and pick it up! in +/- 36 hours, complete with courtesy call - brilliant!Staff is great with recommendations, pairings, etc and customer service is second to none. Keep up the great work, guys.

Huge selection of alcohol. Both beer, wine, liquor, sake, mead, and much more. I cannot recommend this place enough. I love going here and trying out new beer. The staff recommended me some great wine, which was amazing. Since I know next to nothing about wine but love expanding my horizons! Give this place a visit and you will not be dissappointed.

Been visiting since they opened. A great selection of local and hard to find beers and spirits. Staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. I now go out of my way when visiting the area to stop in and always find a must have.

Best place to buy your spirits or beer in town. The service is a big reason to keep coming back to BB! If they dont have something you like, let them know and theyre happy to order it for you. Great staff!

Review №21

Reasonable prices in a convenient location, the clerk was helpful and they are likely to have what you are looking for if not the exact brand you wanted. Some of the shelves seemed lightly stocked but all in all worth a stop if you need carry out drinks.

The staff are incredible. Every time I go here looking for a new bourbon or rye, they’re spot on with their recommendations and they’ll order anything they don’t have. I don’t shop anywhere else for spirits.

Gone downhill. Craft beer is stored in bulk at room temperature in back. Many craft beer selections many months old.They bait the rarity of their items.Dont think they do the loyalty program anymore, either - so prices arent great.
