131 Grove St, Montclair“Solid small shop. Surprisingly good beer selections. The coolers wrap around the corner so there is quite a bit of selection. Was glad to see some Equilibrium in the far left front cooler. Looked for Other Half but didn't see it. This was my first visit and I was picking up supplies for a nearby BYO spot. Have driven by many times and glad I got to pop in. Cashier was super friendly and even wished me a Happy Father's Day with a handshake, which I gladly returned. Solid local spot.”
“My regular wine and beer stop for a quick six or four pack or couple of bottles. Walkable to all of downtown Montclair. Very friendly employees, great wine selection, and solid craft beer choice for their small size. With all the BYOBs in the area it is very convenient. They also deliver for free!Only complaint is the prices are high, but, hey, it's downtown Montclair what can one expect. I will keep shopping here and recommend it to others strongly, too.”

310 Orange Rd, Montclair“Lovely local spot. We once came in looking for vermouth and they didn't have any. The next week we came in and the owner recognized us and showed us he'd ordered several bottles. Very small but a nice little neighborhood joint.”
10AM - 9PM
30 Church St, Montclair“Not just a great wine and liquor shop in Montclair/Northern NJ, a great wine and liquor shop, period. Amanti has an amazingly curated collection—if they’re selling it, I know it’s good. And the staff couldn’t be nicer or more knowledgeable. Really a gem.”
“Dardan (Owner) is amazing! He knows how to please his customers. I was unsure of what wine I wanted; Dardan allow me to taste it before I purchased. If you're in the Montclair area near Cuban Petes. DONT HESITATE TO STOP BY!!”
“Consistently fabulous over the 9 years we've been going there. Everything is competitively priced. The wine selection always features a great range of Italian reds. There's always an interesting mix of single malts including the staples. Plus the refrigerated section is so expansive, whatever I need is usually already cooled.”
“Gets the job done and convenient to several restaurants we frequent in Watchung Plaza. Not the best beer selection so we mostly use it for the bottle of wine or sake needed for dinner nearby. You can enter from the front on Watchung, or from the parking lot in the back. Always quick and on market with prices.”
9AM - 10:30PM
65 Glenridge Ave, Montclair“Never had a problem. Decent selection of wines. Open late. People hanging around the street are neighborhood types. No problem at all. Don't let the negative reviews scare you. They have been in Montclair forever and are very decent folk who own and work there.”
“It's a very small store with everything crowded together and very little walking space. If you go inside for a certain item they will sometimes not have it.”
“I attempt Dry January every year, so this only applies to a few folks, but the non-alcoholic beer and wine selection here gets more diverse every year. I love the 00 Cabernet and Heineken, and my dad and I are excited to try the Corona and Guinness. I don't miss getting drunk nearly as much as tasting the different drinks, and it's nice to keep the beer-after-work mood going even during the winter. 5/5 to one of the best small, independent drink vendors in Montclair.”
