Unless it has something to do with their particular liquor license, my only complaint is that they're not open long enough.

I stopped here while having lunch down the street because I knew that somewhere in this building is like a bar or something so I checked it out. Its actually upstairs to the left down a hall with no signage looking like your walking into Rays office's area. It's actually a bar and event room with furnishings on one side and the bar on the other. The casual seating area has a wall of customers liquor purchased bottles under lock and that they can visit and have a drink because they own the liquor. The furniture are had a cigar bar casual vibe/look even though it's no smoking which I liked. The bartender was friendly with conversation and prompt with my Bloody Mary but the Bloody was on the pathetic side because it had no garnish and not spicy because the ran out of hot sauce. For a place that has growler gallery in the name I was shocked to get a tiny can of Fred Smith lager and not a tap of something of the day. Overall I expected a better Bloody and a chaser from a growler tap room and I left after one because my neighborhood regular low rent dive bar has a better Bloody Mary.

Cool, old bar above the liquor store.

Kind of an odd place. Smells and looks like a VFW hall and it's right above Ray's. They have a limited beer menu that rotates pretty regularly. My husband got bourbon since he didn't like any of the beers on tap and though it was listed as $10 on their menu, we were charged about $12 for it. When asking why it differed, we were answered with a shrug. We came with friends for trivia and they were raving about the specialty drinks like the Paloma. Sounds like they were pretty good and didn't disappoint. They don't serve food here but had someone in with chips and homemade salsa which was really good.Not a place I would run back to anytime soon. Not with other options so close by.

Ray's has become my staple liquor store in the area, having the best variety of all products, and being super knowledgable. However, I have been missing out on the growler gallery!I recently took my first class at their gallery for Manhattan Madness and was so impressed with Scott's knowledge of bitters and apertifs and the balance of the cocktails. They spiced it up giving us a traditional, dry, tequila based and a spin on the aperitif for this one!He was so engaging and fun that I didn't want the class to end. I cannot wait to attend more of their events going forward!

Awesome place to try different and unique beers. They do a tap takeover every Tuesday which is were one brewery puts on like 5 to 6 beers. Its an awesome way to try new styles and flavors of beer.

I will start off with Ray's staff is amazing! A friendly place to go enjoy a craft beer, a choice of wine, Ray's adult slushies or whiskey. I definitely recommend this place.
