| - How to rate a PA liquor store? I originally planned on giving this place two stars, because PA's liquor and wine monopoly forces us to buy from these poorly stocked state stores, and even this - probably the best W&S in Pittsburgh - pales in comparison to meager liquor stores in other states near and far.
After some consideration, though, I accepted that my Yelp review will not force Pennsylvania legislators to reconsider the PLCB, and giving this shop 2 stars would only (potentially) deter people from coming here and going to even WORSE stores in the area.
This liquor store is large and fairly nice inside. As you walk in there is a little corral of advertised wines showing the Chairman's thoughts on the flavors, body, and sweetness of the wine - along with how much you're saving over the MSRP. Beyond that it is a normal large W&S. 2/3 of the store is wine, not so greatly laid out in my opinion, but you can find what you need. The last 1/3 is liquors.
Be on the lookout for the sale tags. If you want to plan ahead, the sales run monthly and are published on the PLCB website. The cashiers here are friendlier than most state stores I've been in, although that's not to say I haven't run into some more standard fare behind the register.
So if you're stuck in PA, this is the place you'll find what you need. Also, it's a "premium selection" store - meaning it is open until 5PM on Sundays
