| - I heard about this place from one of the servers at a bar I frequent. I live just down the street and was surprised that I had never stopped in for even gas. When he told me about the selection of beer, wine, cigars, I was skeptical - so I stopped by on my way home. I needed gas anyway.
One thing I discovered is it is challenging to get into the station. Coming from the direction I did I had to go to the light, turn left, but then the median prevented me from pulling in. So it was a drive down the block, U-turn, come back, and finally I could enter. Coming from the other direction would have been no problem. I filled up and went inside. I don't know if they were playing Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a place on Earth" or if that was just my inner voice performing late-afternoon karaoke. I was amazed at the selection this unassuming from the outside gas station had once I entered the front door. I would put it up there with Tops in Tempe or Sun Devil Liquor in Mesa. A gas station! You want kegs? They have them. You want to peruse more than 700 wines? They have them. They have liquor too. You want beer? And not Bud Light or The High Life, but actually good craft beer from dozens of breweries around the country? They have a walk in beer cave with cans, bottles, and bombers from wall to wall and floor to ceiling - they say over 1000 beers! How about a cigar on the way out? A walk in humidor with over 500 cigars also is located inside. This magical place is located about 2 miles from my apartment and U.O.E.N.O. it. It will likely be my new stop for gas and supplies!
