J & B Wine Shop

In the night J&B sticks out like Vegas; strain lights and bright neon grab your attention while driving down Kenny. It was enough to make me think it was more than your normal carry-​out. So I gave it a try.
It is not your everyday carry-​out and yet it is. What I mean is that they have a great selection of beer, wine, and spirits as well as growlers and craft taps. But yet the place is ran like your run down low capitalized small business and it has that tobacco like smell as well. I bought a six of Bleeding Buckeye here but it ran a few percentage more than it does at the gas station nearby. I do want to try the growler sometime; it seems they have some rare brews there.
All in all though, they place lacks the selection and impression of Kenny market that is just down the road. They have wine shop in its name, perhaps they should concentrate on wine, since the Northwest lacks a good wine place. Not necessarily a wine bar, but a better showcase and local selection. Just a thought.
It is a decent place to stop, but with Kenny market nearby I am not sure if they are in a position to compete.

We stop by this store on a semi-​regular basis when we’re coming back from somewhere and want to pick up some fun, new beer.
For how small they are, they have a pretty huge selection! The whole right wall is coolers filled with beer. They also have other types of alcohol and some other products as well. They now have a section for growlers in the back of the store, which seems cool, but I haven’t tried it.
Everyone is really nice and friendly, and the only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because the prices seem a little off sometimes. Some things don’t have prices on them, so it feels like they’re arbitrarily deciding what it should cost on the spot. We bought ice cream the other day and the guy didn’t know how much they were, so he walked over to the case, came back, started mumbling to himself and typing in numbers, and ended up deciding that it would cost $ 14. This was for 4 or 5 individual ice creams. Is that too much? I have no idea! I don’t love leaving a place and thinking, «wait, was I overcharged?» Earlier this month, we got 2 6-​packs of beer (one was the Angry Orchard summer variety and another was a Kentucky Bourban Barrel Ale variation) and our total was $ 24.70. That seems really off to me, and we probably wouldn’t have picked them up if we knew they would cost that much.
There’s a Walgreens about a block away with a pretty good selection of cool craft beers, and I’m not left trying to figure out how much things will cost or whether I overpaid or not. For that reason, I prefer to go there. J & B Wine Shop could be really cool, but until a few things are changed, it won’t be our regular stop.

Recently purchased a growler from this under new ownership store and was not impressed. I have had many growlers filled with little fan fare but the new owners do things different.
After paying $ 1.99 more for the same beer I purchased for the same growler with the old owner, I noticed that things were not right. They only partially filled my growler to the fill line. The employee said that he gave me a discount but only after I questioned the fill.
When I tasted the beer it was not cold and not as carbonated as it should have been. Long story short, was a nice store but new owners are not for me

This is a small shop, but they have an excellent selection of beer and wine for the size of the place. I’m not a wine drinker, but I went in to see what kinds of beer they had. They’ve got all the basics, plus some harder to find brands and flavors. The owner will special order any other kind for you if you ask, which is awesome. They have only been open for a couple of months, and they’re listening to customers to complete their selection.
As another reviewer pointed out, they also have a small assortment of cleaning supplies and other random but useful stuff, like toothbrushes, so you can pick up a few basics here as well.

This is a very small beer and wine shop next to Iacono’s Restaurant on Kenny Rd. Looks like they are just getting things set up and they aren’t totally stocked yet. (Maybe just under half full, so it’s still pretty sparse).
They look to have all the basics of beer and wine with a few intriguing beers and wines to keep it interesting. I’m looking forward to going back and seeing what they finally come up with.
They also have a little randomness thrown in there… one shelf full of cleaning products which seemed really weird in a beer and wine shop.
So if you need beer, wine or cleaning products. Check it out.
