“I love this one and the one in my main Town more than any other location due to the fact that everybody's unhinged, no matter which one is better to go to, but this place seems to be normal always have what I need and I will always be going here any holiday I stopped off in Elizabeth.”

4136 Library Rd, Castle Shannon“Beer88 is my go-to place before a party, the selection is exceptional and the staff is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. As a recent non-alcoholic drinker, and I was unsure if Beer88 would have anything for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing selection of so many types of non-alcoholic beer, and some non-alcoholic wine. Beer88 is my go-to for all parties from now on. Highly recommend coming to see what new selection is in store”
“Already reviewed when the place first opened but I love coming here. It's super convenient and the staff members are super nice and always helpful. Always have a positive experience when I come here”
“Been coming here since I was a kid now only buying water but nonetheless is still a great place. It’s hard to find 5 gallon top or bottom style water cooler refills and they have it reasonably priced actual springwater and if you need some of that courage in the bottle personality enhancing nectar they got plenty of that too.. always best pricing around. And the famous one for the road slushy bar machines,someday I’ll get one”
“If you’re not a local please note you’re not going to find alcohol at the local gas station or grocery store. You need a PA state run liquor store.How incredibly convenient to have included one in The Waterfront complex. Thereafter, this location is an exceptional ambassador for this chain. From entry to exit we were greeted, they came to us vs finding help, laughed along the way and just good people. Extra shoutout to Kathy who nailed what we didn’t even know we were looking for and at an exceptional price. The place is huge, bright and has a very good selection. Pricing was reasonable as well. We will return!”
“These guys are the best in the area. They have amazing customer service, staff is always friendly, and they offer to hold something for you if they have it in stock and one left. I also love their commitment to having local breweries in their offerings. I try to give them all my business because they are so great to deal with. Can’t recommend them enough!”
9AM - 10PM
10 Old Clairton Rd, Pittsburgh“Sometimes shop here for a holiday or special event or for a gift, though I could count the times on one hand over the past two years. Very good selection, though I would hardly think of myself as a wine expert.
They do offer tasting events. Check their website.
If you cook and use alcohol (such as cognac) in a dish, you will find a good selection of sample bottles.
You may also find a genteel employee who reminds me of a polo patron.”
“Helpful for gift selections ,helpful polite employees, convenient location,nextdoor to post office ,and other convenient stores on same block,handicap parking spaces available if needed”
“Staff was friendly and professional, sale items were clearly marked. Scotch selection was under whelming. There were boxes by the door to help carry your booze. Business hours seemed decent too.”
“These folks are great. Love the small local cooler that is always stocked with greats from Hitchhiker, Grist House, (increasingly) more. Thanks for being in the neighborhood!”
“It was quite busy on Wednesday when I went. But it was worth it. They have a deal on pizza, 75 cents a slice with your choice of toppings. Another plus is that you can take pizza to go. The only downside is that there was only two waitress running back and forth. But it was worth the wait. The pizza reminded me of pizza I got in my youth. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.”
“This is one of my favorite places to buy beer in bulk or small craft 6 packs. Large selection of unique craft beers, forever rotating, and very fair prices on them sometimes even noticeably low. Good prices on domestic bulk cases so I feel no need to price compare at other distributors.They've been asking me if I need help finding anything lately. Good on them didn't really happen in the past. Rarely go for something specific though so I never have to ask for help anyway.”
“On my search across Pittsburgh I realized how hard it was to find Soju from Korea.On the off chance I decided to try yet another state store in Caste Village.Instead of randomly searching I inquired upon entering.....SURPRISE and THRILLED to find out that yes they did have it in stockI can't tell you how happy this made me. Though limited in Asian liquors Soju was finally found.”
“Still learning about PA since I moved out here two years ago and living close to a state store is convenient at times when your looking to have a laid back weekend and a few drinks to add with it does justice.”
10AM - 8:30PM
112 Elm St, Clairton“Ever the beer distributor closed down located on St Clair I have been coming here. The guys who work there are very nice. The prices are decent & it's enough room to move around”
“I’m not a drinker but this location remained open late during the pandemic which was helpful to some of the people in the neighborhood. They kind of share a parking lot with the hanini mart which can make it a tight squeeze but plenty of cars can fit they have handicap parking right in front.”
“We have to stop here when we are on vacation. They don't have Yuengling where we are from. They were extremely helpful and kind. The place is a little hard to find, but once you know it is here, they have a decent selection of beer. Will help load your car as well.”
“Very nice employees, Always willing to help. So many choices. If you can't find it here, then you won't find it anywhere else. There is one guy that works at the checkout that is not very nice. I think he has an accent.”
“Edit because I didn't think people actually read these.Staff is absolutely wonderful and go above and beyond to provide excellent service. Good selection of drinks, tobacco, etc. My children love stopping in with me because lollipops of course! Overall you walk in being treated like a family friend instead of just a customer and will not be disappointed.Side note, the remodel of the store is gorgeous and inviting.”
