It’s rare to find a liquor store where the staff are as knowledgeable as they are helpful, but that was my experience here. I’m the annoying “doesn’t know what they want” type who is also picky, but they helped point me in the right direction, never acting bothered. Also, the selection is great and location is clean and well taken care of. Read More

CoolVines is easily the best liquor store in New Jersey. The staff is amazingly helpful (multiple times I've been offered tastes of store pick bottles that most places would just expect you to buy by sight alone) and friendly; the beer and wine selection is unparalleled (3 Fonteinen, Controvento, etc); the whisky is correctly priced with no rip-off hype-chasing. Finally, they've done a few special tasting events I've been lucky enough to attend, each of which has broadened my wine knowledge deliciously. Read More

I don’t remember if I left a review or not but truly the best liquor store/mini bar I’ve ever been too we had a relatively small celebrity reunion get together here and it was heartfelt. Add in the impairing alcohol to have in the mini bar and fun authentic staff suggesting the best brain fogging drinks to take home with you, and you have the go to hotspot for fun, frenzied, swill! Five Stars all the way Read More

Awesome selection you won't find in most stores, but the best part of coming in is the staff – everyone that works there is friendly and incredibly knowledgable. They really take the time to understand your preferences and guide you towards something you'll love.Last time I was there I showed the girl working a picture of a bottle of wine I had at dinner a few nights before and she spent 15 minutes walking me all types of suggestions and how they compared to the bottle I showed her. I walked away with three bottle and enjoyed all them! Read More

This place is a neighborhood staple and the staff are friendly and very happy to help. You can safely disregard the few unwarranted lower star reviews. The cocktails are strong and the tap menu is ever-changing and interesting.There's a wide variety of wines, beer, and liquor that you won't find in your average liquor store. If you're only used to the conventional alcohol brands, you won't find them here, but you can definitely find something new you'll love. Worth a stop if you're ever in the area. Read More

Worth the visit! A lovely selection of good priced wines and friendly staff

I didn't buy anything. I came with a friend. The man at the counter asked me if I would like to sample a Lemonade and Bourbon but I had to decline because I was fasting at the time.I live in Jersey City a few blocks away. I've gone to that Cool Vines a few times and was never offered anything. In fact, I never knew Cool Vines was actually Cool.So my rating is based on hospitality. The next time I'm in the area, I will stop by and buy a drink. Read More

Hello Fellow Newarker’s and Visitor’s alike. I want to take a moment to give kudos to the city of Newark for providing a space to chill and meet people at cool vines. It is one of my favorite places to go to relax, meet friends and have a quick meeting or just a libation alone. They have assembled an amazing team that are the consummate host. I want to highlight two of my favorites — William and Anthony. They are really good ambassadors for the brand and experience. They provide a comfortable, safe environment that makes you feel like you’re at a far away destination. I will highly suggest you make this one of your stops while in Newark.Anthony SmithExecutive DirectorLincoln Park Coast Cultural District/Resident of Newark Read More
