Hub Liquors

is it just me or do they only card women in this liquor store? not that I mind being carded ;) (adds another star thing to review)
this has got to be one if my favorite liquor stores EVER.
it reminds me of my younger days, my misdrunk youth.
one of the things I love about New Brunswick is all the bars and liqour stores within walking distance of my apartment. you can drink and NOT drive.
they sell wine here by the BOX, how cool is that.
so the booze here is plentiful and CHEAP. remember to bring cash because they don’t take credit cards and remember to get someone to help you lug the liquor back to your apartment. liquids are heavy. besides it ain’t fun drinking alone ;)
they open late and they stay open late.
the people that work here are always very helpful .
the selection is not very sophisticated but neither am I, so it all evens out.
its called Hub City because New Brunswick is called the Hub City, don’t ask me why.
summing up: good local place that is open late when you just need to replenish your depleted alcohol reserves in a hurry.

This was the first of many lovely places that my boyfriend took me to during my first ever visit to the glorious city of NB. It was mos def a «trip down memory lane» for him as we walked into The Hub as many of his memorable nights of getting completely hammered in NB usually started with a visit to The Hub.
I would like to go ahead and say this right off the bat… I have never seen a more eclectic selection of «liquor blends» and «bum wines» — both of which we indulged in buying.
The selection of «liquor blends» (in the padlocked fridge closest to the bar) was what I found to be the most fascinating. It was in this fridge that I was able to find Tarantula’s Azul Magaraita «Premium Liquor Blend» in Fresa (strawberry), Melon, Baya (berry) and Mango. This made me reminiscent of my undergrad days… oh. what fun I had drinking the «Premium Liquor Blends.»
Aside from the Tarantula there was also a liquor blend that was advertised (on the bottle) as «LIQUOR YOU CAN EAT!» I couldn’t help but umm… stare at the bottle (in confusion) for a bit.
So, the BF got his bum wines and sparks and I got my Tarantula and Sauza Blanco (seriously, you thought that I was going to drink the «liquor blend» sans extra liquor? pssssshhhh…) and the total came out to $ 26 (my Sauza cost $ 11). That’s pretty damn good considering it was a 40 oz of Night Train, three other smaller bottles of bum wine, three sparks, a Tarantula and a (something bigger than a ¹⁄₅ but not a bottle) of Sauza.
We were pretty dandy for the weekend. Oh yah, um, Cash ONLY and they stick your ID into this ID thing. so youngins’ beware.
