Descent place to jsut get something in a jiffy but not a place I love to go to. Staff generally doesn’t help with the beer selectin jsu the wine. For Washington St. in Hoboken it is descent and because a lot of places in Hoboken are BYOB this place is key for beer or wine. One great thing is option to get different beers as singles to bring to your meal as a mix six or get a bomber or 50 of something descent.

Although I live closer to their small 126 Washington St., Hoboken location, I stop by the main Sparrow Wine once a month or so. The store is huge, and while only one wall (~12 built-in refrigerated units) is stocked with beer, they always seem to cover most of my favorites. There are also plenty of new seasonals and some rotating selections that keep things interesting (and worth a stop). The prices are competitive, certainly compared to Manhattan. About half of selection is singles 12oz/750ml and half six-packs, but you are free to mix the six-packs. You’ll find Chimay, Flying Dog, DFH, Unibroe, Troegs, Victory, Samuel Smith’s, Fuller’s, De Dolle, Paulaner, Aecht, Spaten, Schneider, Brooklyn, etc. and plenty others. The wine selection is vast and impressive, with some great bargains. Delivery in Hoboken is very cheap and same-day. They also deliver to surrounding areas. Entire store is brightliy lit, clean and spacious. Shopping carts and baskets on-hand.
