Located in a small shopping area in the middle of Somerville. There is mostly street parking, and it's not too far from either the Porter or Davis stops on the subway Red Line, but still a pretty good walk. The building sort of stands alone among other shops that are squeezed together.

The beer selection is on the left, and almost all of it is in coolers. There is a good assortment of six packs along with plenty of 750ml and 22oz bottles, along with one fridge dedicated to that bottle size filled with some rarities and Belgian ales. I didn't buy anything but I didn't see any prices that popped out at me.

I didn't ask for help but no one stopped by to help either. It's a small store so there was just someone behind the counter watching over everything. Since it wasn't really a beer-centric store, they probably expect most people to already know what liquor, wine, or beer they want, get it, pay, then leave. Someone will probably help if asked though.

A small store with not the greatest selection, but has a good deal of beer for its size. If you're in the area then it's a good place to stop by to fill up the fridge. However, you may have to go elsewhere for any rare beers.

A co-worker and I were in town on business hunting for beer (Stone & Harpoon) that we can't get back home (Milwaukee). We were only there for a short time (cab meter was running) but was impressed for the selection of imports and micro brews. The clerk was very nice and had a lot of knowledge of the beer. He even ran in the back to grab some extra bombers after we cleared out the ones in the cooler. Great place for the business traveler to find some local and out of home market brews. Combo of beermapping.com and beeradvocate.com helped us find the place.
