Krugel’s Georgetown Deli & Beer

I have never seen this many beers in one place. The guy at the counter said that they have 2500 unique beers on display and a bunch in the back since they don’t have room. Local brews, imported brews, micro brews, macro brews. Cans bottles and even a handful on draft. If you can think of it, if you’ve ever heard of it, they have it here.
Last night, I got to talking with my colleague about beers and he said «Man, there was this one beer that I really got to like in Germany. I wonder where we can find it.» So he brought out his handy search engine and it pointed us to Krugel’s Georgetown. And yes, they had this odd German Marzen import that he says is really rare to find in the US.
Food is nothing spectacular. I had a pretty good turkey club sandwich and he had a fine enough grilled cheese. But the food isn’t the thing here. It’s the BEER.
My only complaint is that all of the beer isn’t chilled. So if you’re drinking it here, they’ll get you a chilled glass. Some six-​packs are cold in the coolers, but not all of them.
I have never seen this many beers in one place. Yes, I said that before. It’s still true.

This is hands down one the best bottle shops in PA, with an unheard of selection of amazing beers. The food is very good as well.
The owner was knowledgable, but sadly not very talkative. That said, with a selection like this you need time to take it all in without distraction.
If you are in the area this is a must visit, a craft beer geek paradise.

This is hands down the best craft beer store in WB. The staff is helpful and friendly and the selection of craft and local beers is amazing. If you are looking for great craft beer Krugel’s is most definitely the place. Just look for the big cow!

We came here to grab some beer before heading back to the hotel to watch Playoffs. We were kind of in a rush.
Thank you, gentlemen, for targeting some local craft beers in your massive selection for us to enjoy. We were happy with your suggestions for us, and we got back in time for the kickoff. Excellent customer service and good prices.
The beer helped soften the pain of the Panthers’ defeat.

I’ve never eaten here, so I cannot attest to the food, but if you like beer, this is the place for you. If you want something they don’t have (doubtful) they will find it for you. They sell growlers of their featured draught beers and every Friday from 5−7pm they have FREE BEER! Unlimited samples from a featured brewery. The place is very inconspicuous. Look for the big cow outside.

This is the best place to buy craft beer. They have an extraordinary selection and very knowledgeable staff. I’ve never gone here without finding what I am looking for. I highly recommend this place!

What appears to be a regular old deli/​six-​pack shop, is actually craft beer heaven.
We stopped at Mom & Pops Pierogi up the street not realizing they were a shop, not a diner. The very friendly owner directed us to Krugel’s to try his pierogi, as well as «the best beer selection you’ll find».
Well, he was correct! Amazing pierogi (we went back to his shop and purchased some to take home). As craft beer drinkers, we were so overwhelmed that it took us nearly an hour to decide on six packs to bring home.
If I ever wander back up to Wilkes Barre, I will certainly spend more time here.
Great little shop!

I came here on a whim with a friend after spending 20 mins trying to figure out where to go. I wish we went somewhere else. When we first walked in and placed our order at the counter the attitude we received from the waitress was cold, you can tell taking our orders was the last thing she wanted to do. I ordered a cup of their soup of the day and a chicken salad sandwich. The soup was very good you can tell it was homemade and is the reason my review isnt lower but the chickensalad was made with relish and I wish there was something that mentioned that in the review bc one thing I hate is sweet pickles. The waitress never came back to check on us so I was unable to try and correct this situation. At the end of the meal my friend and I vowed never to go back ever again.

Great beer selection. Some beers but not all are a bit pricey though.

If you’re into beer, I suppose this might be a good place for you. If you are into a deli with great food, this is not the place for you.
Stopped in for lunch. The service was no where insight but I could hear activity in the back of the house. A few minutes went by before someone came out from the back, where obviously she was eating because her mouth was full when she spoke to me. I ordered a sub. The roll was dry and it overwhelmed the sub. A quality, fresh roll is the bench mark of quality deli. This deli missed that mark. As if someone waiting on me with a mouth full of food wasn’t gross enough a customer walked in carrying a pet carrier. The type of carrier you would cart your cat or small dog to the vet. Well, inside the carrier wasn’t a cat or a small dog. Guess what was in the carrier? Guess again? It was a rat! Yes, A Rat! Evidently, Rat Lady is a steady customer because she bee-​lined directly to the cooler for two pounders of a adjunct beer, and the help confirmed she came in often. As Rat Lady walked through the deli a trail of litter fell to the floor. Yes folks, rat litter was on the floor. The Help saw it, but didn’t clean it up. They left it there and then went somewhere in the back. Unbelievable!
Oh yeah, they have a vast selection of slightly over-​priced beer.

Accidentally ended up here during a mid road trip pit stop… went in to use the bathroom and grab a bite, and was surprised by super friendly managers (brothers?) and staff, as well as a massive craft beer selection.
Ordered some perogies on a whim at the counter — they were THE BOMB. Also asked to be directed towards a local beer, and they recommended Steigmaier Pumpkin Ale… it is fantastic.
So happy I stopped by, if you are anywhere near the area, pay them a visit!

What a wonderful stop along the way if you love good beer. A cross between a beer store and a deli, with hundreds of beer varieties and 5 wonderful drafts at this writing. Good sandwiches and spotlessly clean. And right off the Interstate! If you love craft beer you simply have to stop at this gem!
