John & Doug’s Tavern & Package Store

This store is always the last liquor store to close in the area, and that’s for a reason! they charge almost 40 percent over normal retail cost for packaged goods and wine. on several occasions I’ve paid close to 48 bucks for a 30 pack of coors light that is 20 plus tax else where. tonight I bought a 12 pack of coors light and it was 18 plus tax! anywhere else is 11.99−12.99 won’t be returning! I’ll remember to stock up else where before I leave for work

I have been going to this store for a number of years and have seen it through its various phases. Most recently, it has gone through a remodeling effort and I have to say it looks good. New flooring, painting, refrigeration services and the shelves are adequately stocked. The bar has also gone through a face lift. It’s ran by 2 individuals, who definitely work very hard and are very friendly. I’ve had some time to listen to their amazing story while hanging out in the bar with some friends. I’m a huge supporter of mom and pop shops, so I have tried to stay as loyal to this place as possible. They make it easy by literally being open 365 days a year. Plus they have late night hours that go later than other places. However, I will note that after certain business hours, prices do go up, which make sense as this makes up for their extra hours. If you don’t want to pay a premium for after hours, my suggestion is go before hand. But sometimes you just don’t have time and in that event, paying a premium rather than running dry for a party or get together is better than nothing.

I had always heard it was way over priced but when they attempted to charge me more than DOUBLE the price i usually pay for a bottle of yellow tail, I assumed it was a mistake. NOPE. I walked out and won’t go back.
Not to mention the store itself is in shambles and has a horrible mold smell.
Yuck!

This place is always open. I don’t think the owners take a day off. They saved my christmas!!!
