"A solid liquor store with a great selection of gourmet cheeses and charcuterie. Been a regular for three years, and most of the staff feels like familiar faces at this point. Friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with. Just hope you don’t get stuck with the one manager who treats a straightforward question like a personal attack. Apparently direct communication is his kryptonite. But hey, the store price matches, so that makes up for the theatrical outrage and sighing."

"My first time visiting Gary’s to pick up an online order. It’s a huge store with so many good collection and options for wine, beer and spirits, including top line shelf brands. Aisles are wide. Shelves are clean and clearly marked. Super convenient to find different types and brands. They also got a cold cut section full of variety of cheese. They sell some small snacks, candies, accessories, and gift bags and baskets as well. Prices are competitive. They have membership discounts too. Associates are super friendly. Few of them greeted me and checked if I needed help. Checkout process is quick and convenient. This is really one of the nicest liquor stores I have been in Bergen."

"I was there lately for their inventory reduction sale. Well worth the trip! I loaded up on outstanding wines with great prices. Staff was very helpful. Store was a little tight compared to their Wayne location (now a Buy-Rite), but once you get the hang of the layout, it is logical and easy to find the wines you are looking for. I'll be back!"
