This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

There are a few special things you must know about this store:
1) The entrance is really easy to miss because the building's address is on Vine Street, but the entrance for this store is actually on 5th Ave right in between Wall St. and Vine St., directly across the street from City Foods.
2) This store is CASH ONLY!
3) There are no coolers in this store, so plan ahead to leave time for chilling.

A visit is TOTALLY WORTH IT though because the prices are the very best I've found in downtown, maybe in all of Seattle, and the selection is almost 100% microbrews. They have a lot of six packs for $7-8 and bombers for $3-5. We even got the Unibroue La Terrible for $8. They have a small selection of wine and saki as well. It's our favorite place to shop for beer in Belltown.

My husband loves trying local NW brews and I'm a die hard Belgian lover and this tiny little store manages to give us both a big selection. It really is the size of a walk-in closet, however the owner tells me she's moving to a bigger store literally one door over, which will give her window space and make the store easier to find. Right now you have to really look for it.

One other thing to note is that the owner is a very sweet lady, but knows nothing about beer. She will fully admit that she doesn't drink alcohol at all, so she listens well and gives all of her recommendations based off of the recommendations of other customers and the info she gets from her distributors. She tells me that she opened the store because she believes that microbrews are enjoyed by people who appreciate the taste and craft of the drinks and that beer encourages people to get together with friends and enjoy life. I can't say that I disagree!
