Harmony Beverage

LOVE THIS PLACE! I am a «out of towner» in for the Indy race and stopped in here, great selection of beer, little odds and ends and Candy! Rows and rows of «Penny» candy and great selection. Cashier was friendly, engaging and helpful. I wish we had a little place like this around my little town.

Came here recently to pick up some beer for a BBQ. This place has a decent variety of beer to choose from so if you’re in the area, I recommend coming here. They should add a soda section in addition to selling beer. They don’t take American Express so be warned! They have a neat rolling thing by the registers so you don’t need to carry your beer so that was pretty cool.

I always buy beer from here. 100 times better than the beer distributors at Mt. Poconos. It is conveniently near the turnpike, route 80, 940 and 115. They also fill BBQ tanks! Everything you need before a party or a long weekend. Check their times of operations before you make the drive!

The cashier was rude and was talking on her cell phone while ringing me up. She didn’t hand either my license or credit card back to me and instead made me reach far over the counter to retrieve both. She snapped at me to flip my case over to expose the bar code. I think I’ll be hauling my beer up to the mountains instead of buying it locally next time.

I usually stop here when I need to pick up beer for a party or a hockey game. They have a pretty good selection of beers, which has been recently improved with new shelving in the store, as well as penny candy, fresh roasted peanuts and cigars too. Although some of the prices could be a little lower, as long as you look for the beer deals, you will get away without putting too much of a dent in your wallet. The peanuts are also very good. They have lottery and the service is friendly 98% of the time. Very few bad experiences at this place, great local business and will continue to shop there.

So I’m not sure if you know, but in PA if you want to get beer you can’t buy it in the supermarkets. I don’t know why but you can’t. Hence this place is booming. The man behind the counter is friendly, though he will ask you for your passport, ID, birth certificate etc just to buy a case of woodchuck cider. –_​– Other than that the candy is good, and something tells me some of it is homemade-​ish. =)
Good prices, and great selection.

Decent selection, but of course, the prices have a bit of sticker shock to me since I typically buy beer at home in NJ. The places smells like fresh roasted peanuts as soon as you walk in the door. They also have lottery, cigars, and a whole bunch of penny candy.

One of the things I love about being in PA are the beer distributors. Having went to college in PA, I am very familiar with how the whole alcohol system works, as it is much different than being in NJ. To start, you can’t really buy beer and liquor together. You get your liquor at a liquor store and your beer at a beer distributor. I was with a group of guys in the Poconos and we needed a place to stock up on some beer.
After driving around for what seemed like forever, we finally arrived at Harmony Beverage. It is located very close to a couple of the resorts up there — we were staying in Lake Harmony and this place was about 10 minutes away from where we were staying. There were 30 packs stacked on 30 packs — almost all the way up to the ceiling. A very impressive selection. After selecting our beverages of choice, we headed to the register and the register almost has like a «rolly bar» slide system, so you can just slide your beer up to the register. Something you would see on a factory line. Harmony Beverage also has a very impressive candy selection.
The only real knock I have on this place is that the prices were a little high for what we got. I will just say that a domestic light 30 pack was about $ 2 more than I pay in NJ. I found that strange because I always remembered PA beer prices being cheaper than what I paid in NJ. Other than that, this is a good place with a massive selection. You will have no trouble finding beer here if you are in the area.

This is usually my number two stop after shopping for food at Aharts when I stay in Lake Harmony. This is where one stocks up for beer…
And the REAL reason to come here is all the candy they have! Here’s the process: arrive, park, come in, get a plastic glove and a plastic bag and start filling in your bag with handfuls of all kinds of candy… all the favorites are there including some that I used to love as a kid and rarely see anymore (remember Zagnut?).
$ 20 bucks later worth of candy… you put your bag on the rollers, pay the man (or lady) and a real get away has started… I hope that this place never changes.

My friends and I rented a home in the Blakeslee area and were excited to find Harmony Beverage sells kegs. We purchased a keg on Wednesday and specifically asked if they were open on Sunday to drop off the keg and get our deposit back before we hit the road on Sunday MORNING — they said yes. Sunday morning we roll in with the empty shell at 10am to discover they do not open until noon. There was a gentleman inside behind the register who refused to come out and help us, screaming through the door that they did not open until noon. We felt completely scammed. He finally came out (to get in his car and leave) and we asked if he would take our keg shell inside — he snapped back saying no, and that if we just left it someone else could turn it in for our deposit (as if it mattered because we CLEARLY weren’t going to get it back).
So we left, figuring $ 30 wasn’t worth waiting around two hours when we just wanted to get on the road for our 5 hour drive home. I was frustrated with myself for not specifically asking about their hours on Sunday (at the time we were just excited to get home and tap the keg), but the behavior of the man behind the counter in the store (the owner I believe) was absolutely ridiculous. It was as if we threw the shell through the store window and then peed through the hole in the glass. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU CAN.
The man inside was flat-​out cruel. Completely unnecessary. Not a great way to end an otherwise fantastic weekend.

Sells lots of beer and has candy, fresh popped pocorn and fresh roasted peanuts. One of my favorite beer stores.
