This little place is AMAZING!!! Beer and cider on tap to fill your growlers. The largest selection of any beer or cider that I’ve seen anywhere in the local area. Even the seltzer, hard and regular, is immense. They have cow tails, a candy from my childhood and the staff are super helpful!
Brand new with great staff and a complete buffet breakfast included
Selection is amazing. This should be the go-to distributor for locals and visitors. Very happy we found this place.
Great selection, great folks. A beer fans playground. I need to come back with my growler soon.
They have what I like, their cooler is super cold so my beer is always a great temperature when I get home.
5 star beer selection for six packs to 30 racks. The only reason I close 4 versus 5 stars is that If you want to order a specific keg, it is not an easy process and you might not be able to get what you want.
Great selection of craft beer and cider. I would definately recommend!!!
A wide selection with ample choice of local beers and the cheap stuff too
What a place. Super selection helpful staff. Nirvana
Amazing selection. My favorite store!
Did my returns (6¢ a can) and bought some beer. The staff are friendly and efficient.
Great discounted items, several growler options...
Quite honestly the quintessential destination for finding hard-to-find items as well as a very large selection of craft and microbrews.You want to leave yourself some time to shop around because theres a lot of square footage to cover! There are sodas as well as Seltzers. They sell my favorite Polar brand, cheaper than the local supermarket.I was actually sent to this place by an employee of a nearby convenience store. I had been let down and disappointed by this competitor by not supplying a beverage that I newly discovered and fell in love with called Coco-Ritas! I have a long history of bad luck at times with new beverages, as I try them once, go back to buy more and the distributor doesnt bring anymore.The the place where those distributors are taking all those new brews and hard to find items is right here to Finger lakes Beverage Center! CocoRita ....found it. I like Pina Colada drink alternatives. I found a new pineapple coconut by Smirnoff. There was a similar similar product by Mikes hard series. Fall on love with a new product here, and when you come back to by more itll be there?
Nice selection. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Excellent selection, helpful people there, and more than fair pricing
Great selection, helpful staff.
Nice clean store with friendly staff and a large selection of beer.
Great place with tremendous selection of micro brewery beers.
What a selection! I am not in very often, but when I leave I feel like I know everyone in the place! Very competitive pricing!
Huge selection of beers of sodas including many locally produced ones.
Love this place! Love the draft beers!
Holy cow what a beer and cider selection! They have beer/ale/stout/etc from about everywhere. I even saw Prairie Bomb which is a Tulsa, OK product. If you want something different or are looking for some hard to find brew check this place out.
A well stocked wine and liquor store with decent variety in every category of liquor. It has local finger lakes wine and mead. Plus some national and international wines as well.
Great selection, especially of local beers and ciders, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Great selection, so vast it was hard to decide.
Wow what a great selection of spirits, and super nice staff.
What an amazing selection of beer. Simply WOW
They got what you need.
Amazing beer selection. Was last here 11 years ago and the place has easily tripled in size since then. Wish I lived closer.
Had exactly what I was looking for. Pleasant staff
This places is just a genuine pleasure to go to even if you dont end up buying anything. They have more beer, ciders, and drinks than anyone in Ithaca. Almost everything you can buy in singles and make your own six pack.The only reason I didnt give this place 5/5 is that they dont stock two of my favorite beers anymore. It is not their fault because it is a supplier problems and out of their hands, but is still disappointing.
Lots of beer, local and choice international selections. Decent prices.
Its the beverage store that comes up in searches in the Ithaca area. I would say the selection is average, but being an out-of-towner, I will go there every time Im up that way
Beer snob here. Many but not all of the staff are very knowledgeable about the stuff they sell and I always walk home with more beer than Id intended to get because I love trying out their recommendations. Its not 100% spot on but some of them are truly very helpful in finding beers that youd like. Its not the cheapest yet never overpriced for the quality. Considering the selection and the fact that its really a one-stop shop for beer, Ill take it!
Staff was friendly and helpful, huge variety, most also in singles so you can try them without committing to a 6-pack. Excellent visit!
Positives: Well organized, clean, and massive selection. They also prioritize shelf space for local and regional Brewers, which I appreciate. Negatives: What almost all bottle shops seem to suffer from - some lingering and outdated stock. Staff wasnt particularly welcoming and didnt ask if I needed help finding anything on a dead Sunday afternoon.
What can I say? A local owner whose store is filled with real people who are knowledgeable and have a good sense of humor; a wonderful atmosphere, plus the place is cleaner than my house--and so are the kazillion beer, soda and cider bottles! Selection? Better than the average bear Boo-Boo!!! Just wicked nice people and a wicked good store to boot.......AND 6 cents for bottle and can returns---no hassle and easy to do. OH!....and easy and good parking too!! Its Ithaca...just stop in and say Hi!....and while youre at it, buy some good beer......and they have growlers (almost forgot).....
Fantastic selection. They have a cooler section if you want cold beer, and they also offer hundreds of single beer options if you just want to sample. Local and imported. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
I love this place! Open late hours, and an astounding selection you wont find anywhere else. Finally somewhere I can satisfy my black cherry soda from all over the country craving.
The Beverage Center has the best selection of beers anywhere around Ithaca! I love visiting to pick up a few single bottles of something new to try as well as cases of old favorites. The staff is really knowledgeable, too, and has helped me find craft brews that fit the criteria of the day on several occasions.
The best selection of craft beer bottles and cans in the area. They get great distro, good growler/ draft selection too.
What an awesome selection. Period. I wish I didnt live 5 hours away. This was great
This place is craft beer heaven. When Im in Ithaca again Ill be sure to swing in!
Best beer store you will find in Ithaca. Newly expanded coolers and bottle return center make this place really hard to beat. Great selection of unique sodas. Tastings are available. Best place to get kegs in town.
Love the prices. Friendly people
Best beer selection in Itaca hands down. Bring a growler they have at least 8 to choose from
One of my favorite stores Ive ever been too. Largest selection Ive seen anywhere for beer, cider, and even smaller craft soda. Plus the staff is very friendly and super helpful! Gonna miss this place when I leave Ithaca.
Amazing beer selection, in packs and singles, a huge selection of cold beer, craft sodas, and taps for growler fills. In the past they had a bit of an issue with keeping old dusty bottles on the shelves for long periods of time but upkeep and cleaning seems to have improved.
Always a great assortment of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Great for all ages.
My go to place in the area for excellent craft beers including one of a few locations in the State where I can find Mystic. They have a lot of hard to find imports and a vast selection of craft beer. This is also you typical beverage center with lots of choice for cold macro beer cases and sodas.
Ive been a customer of theirs for over a decade. They have *always* treated me well. They have a fabulous selection. And they can get anything you want (at least Ive ever wanted) in a keg. Awesome beer, awesome people!
Super friendly staff and massive selection of all craft beverages!
Incredible selection and great prices! Plenty of inventory available cold, as well.
Amazing selection of beer, and prices are more than reasonable. Staff are always friendly to help with any questions. This place has never disappointed!
Clean, organized, and great pricing. awesome selection of beers and ciders. knowledgeable staff. my go to bottle shop
Great beer store. Best in Ithaca, they have whatever you are looking for or can get it with notice. They have lots of different sodas and non alcoholic beer. Bottle, cans, growlers and kegs, they have it all. Only wish they had some homebrewing supplies.
I am a bit of a beer snob, and this is the go-to place within a 100-mile radius. I havent found anything quite like it. Its basically the size of a local grocery store completely devoted to beer. They have a lot of options - domestic, regional, international. The staff are usually good for recommendations as well. They have a deposit receiving station now to, and pay $0.06 instead of the usual nickel per bottle. Would totally recommend.
FLBC is my go-to for interesting new things to try. Their beer, cider, and odd ball brew selection is absolutely amazing!
Lots of cool beer selections. They also have cider, lambic and lots of nice dark beer.
All kinds of beer soo many different varieties. Great prices love this place
I was visiting Ithaca for a family wedding and wanted some locally brewed IPAs and a mix of local Pumpkin Beers and Octoberfest Beers to try. I found a wonderful variety. They were ok with selling singles. Lots of those New England style IPAs that are juicy and hazy too. Friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking lot. Easy to find and not right in downtown area.
Im on 4,409 unique beers on Untappd. This place has an unbelievable selection. Possibly the best Ive seen worldwide, in the fridge and out. Cheers
Great selection. Nice lady that works there. Vert friendly
Great selection
Good variety of beers.
Great service, fast and simple can and bottle returns.
Huge selection of beers, ciders, and sodas at good prices. Easy parking too.
Best selection of beer in the area. Worth the drive from Binghamton too! They often get some of the newer and more rare/limited stuff that other places wont get. And if you ask nicely, theyll keep some behind the counter if youre afraid theyll run out on ya. Theyve also got a great soda selection too!Oh, and bring a growler, because theyve always got a few great beers on tap to fill!
Great variety of beverages! Very pleasant & helpful staff!
Huge selection of beer and cider to cover any taste, from mass market to super obscure, plus growlers. And they know thier stuff.
HUGE beer selection. Must stop in to check out their wide selection from all over the nation and world. Great selection of local craft brews too. They also do growler fills of local beer. ++
An exquisite establishment to shop for any type of beer. Was very impressed with the size,variety and cleanliness of the store, and very helpful staff.
Very nice staff
Great selection of beer and soda. Not the cheapest, but friendly and helpful staff. Definite stop while in Ithaca.
The sales staff here have GREAT Product Knowledge
Cold beer good people what more do you need
Amazing selection of beer, cider, and soda. They also do bottle returns and give 6 cents in cash. I did buy one pack of cider that went bad, but otherwise all good experiences
Great selection, clean environment
Incredible beer selection. One of the most extensive Ive come across. Prices were reasonable.
Best selection in the region, a bit pricey. The offer 6 cents for each returnable.
They give 6 cents all the time for cans amd bottles..
Great selection of all kinds of bottled drinks. I particularly appreciate the variety of root beer they have.
Great selection best in Upstate New York
A great selection of beers, no matter what youre into. Also lets this mix and match bottles from a huge selection.
Perfect place to buy some beer... Very helpful staff and owner....
The best selection of beers that Ive found in region. Theyve also got 12oz singles and six packs, which is great for trying out new beers (and is something you dont see everywhere).
Beer Mecca! Awesome selection and decent prices. Lady at the front desk wasnt the friendliest but she wasnt rude...
Best beer store. Hundreds of different craft beers. Can return also
What can I aay, selection selection selection. Great service too.
Great selection of beers locally, regionally, nationally and world-wide. Friendly proprietors and staff.
Best beer selection in Ithaca. Great staff.
This place is the place to go for been in Ithaca. Domestic, international, craft, cider, and soda. Craft beer is where its at though and they have a decent range of styles and brewers.
The place is huge. They have it all. If you can’t find something...just stop drinking.
The best redemption center in the county
Nice selection of ciders not so much for gluten free beers. Gluten removed just isnt enough for me.
You cant beat their keg selection, and everyone I talked to inside was helpful and knowledgable, which is my favorite combination.
Absolutely fantastic beer selection offering both cold and unchilled. Now has a bottle return so you can get rid of yours empties.
