Wantagh Beverage Barn

Heard they have a great selection. Too bad the website is wrong in saying that they close at 11. The sign says they close at 9 and they shut the door in my face, and a group of about 8 others, at 8:55. Guess you are ok with losing out on what would have probably been about $ 200.

I wouldn’t even give this place a half a store rudest and worst service ever. They are a scam and give out broken equipment and blame you and charge you. The old man working there is violent and attacks customers. He doesn’t listen to what you have to say an it was the rudest experience I ever had purchasing alcohol. I would never go there again.

As another reviewer wrote «I would give this place negative stars if I could». The employees are so incredibly rude and I would never recommend this place to anybody.
I got a keg for the weekend and went to return it to get my deposit back. When I got there I got into an altercation with the man working the desk. He refused to give my deposit back because the bin the keg was given to me in was cracked.
When I first picked up the keg I noticed the bin was cracked but didn’t think to say anything. When I returned the bin and keg the guy at the desk refused to give me my deposit back due to the crack on the bin. I offered to replace the bin but the man was unwilling to negotiate.
I lost my $ 100 deposit over a cracked bin that could be replaced for under $ 20. When I offered to pay for the bin the employe quickly began go loose his temper and the situation escalated, this resulted in the police being called. In the end I did not receive my deposit back and I am disgusted with how this place treats their customers with complete disrespect.
If you are looking to get a keg definitely get it elsewhere. The employees will try to knit pick every dollar they can.

Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. While the selection is pretty decent, the customer service is absolutely despicable. There is a «growler room «with about 8 to 10 different beers on tap, however, you’re not allowed to sample the beer unless you buy it first. Yes you heard me correctly. Let that sink in… According to a very knowledgeable gray-​haired employee he said «that is the house policy not mine». Nice copout pal.
But wait it gets even better. Upon completing my purchase, my change was literally thrown back at me by a portly, soon to be diabetic man. Way to go!
Needless to say I shan’t be returning to this place ever again and I advise you to do the same.

If i could’ve given negative stars, i would’ve. We asked for a taste of their beers on tap to decide which beer to get in a growler. We were reluctantly given one ridiculously small cup sample for three people. The beer tasted funky so we decided not to get a growler and were met by RUDE comments and arguments from the two male employees. They tried to rush us out by saying they were closing in 10 mins at 8:35pm. What an odd time to close.
We then decided to purchase a six pack of River Horse Tripel horse belgian style tripel. They charged us $ 17 which was clearly overpriced, but we bought it anyway to avoid further harassment by the workers. As we left, we heard them making comments about us. Overall, a terrible interaction with the staff. Sad because they have a pretty decent craft beer selection. I will never come back to this establishment and I advise you all to do the same.

I’ve been going to the beverage barn for about a year as a growler-​fill enthusiast. When the manager is there, Mike (?), it has always been a pleasant experience. However, my last trip wasn’t so nice. I was asking questions about the products being offered without the manager being there, and the 2 male store employees barely spoke English and couldn’t care less if I purchased anything or ever came back. I’d like to believe that had nothing to do with my being a woman, but have a feeling that may have been the case. It is a shame that a place with such a great craft beer selection will no longer be on my «must visit» list. I will continue to visit the Beverage Center in East Meadow where the staff are friendly, the prices are phenomenal and my business is appreciated.

I love the beverage barn. They have such a huge variety of craft beers and they also refill growlers. You can create your own six pack and if they don’t have a certain beer your looking for you can talk to them and see if they can get it for you. I managed to snag some red hook that way because someone asked them if they could get it. It is also newly renovated. So come on down to the beverage barn and try a new brand of craft beer and leave the budlight world behind.

This place was just reopened with a new owner. It was redone and includes a minimart. It looks much cleaner than it used to. There are a ton of beer selections and I was told if I can’t find something they will order it for me. Looks like I’ll be going here more often. There seems to be more construction going on too.

This place is currently closed. Had a very good craft beer selection while it was open. The owner, mike, was a nice guy.

Well, I placed my order and was charged right away, but it’s a week out now and I still haven’t seen my order or had anyone return my e-​mail. I tried calling but all I got was an answering machine. I will wait 24 hours, if I’ve still heard nothing then I will contact my credit card company’s fraud department to re-​coop my lost /​stolen charge. Not keeping in contact with a customer is the mark of a BAD company.
Well, after several e-​mails and phone calls… nothing. So I guess that they’d rather just have me let the credit card company go after them, okay. From now on I will deal strictly with Half Time Beverage and Beer World.

I can’t say I have been to many liquor stores on L.I., but I have to say this place is great if you are looking for those specialty beers. What I love most about this place is that you don’t have to buy a 6 pack of something! This place is really cool! Thanks little brother for showing me this place!

This is the first place to ever receive the title «Best of Long Island «that I actually agree deserves it! First of all the staff is friendly, accommodating and know what they’re talking about. The variety is insane. Found my Crispin here and sooooo much more. Plus, you can make your own six pack (
), they deliver for free and they have GROWLERS. Really? Really??? Sik absolutely sik.
I especially love that while driving home from a concert at a 11:30pm, wanting a drink but not wanting to go to the bar, the light from the awning glowed brightly like a beacon in the night to save me. Check it out, you’re sure to not be disappointed.
