North End Market

Even though I live very close to North End, I only visited it recently. They started as a wine store and kept expanding. A very nice mix of micro’s & imports (none of the standards either). The dinner menu looked good but didn’t have much for my wife (vegetarian). It’s the best beer selection within 15 miles easily.

Stopped in here on a recommendation from my parents. They said they had some fancy beers there. It looks like they are part wine/beer store, and part restaurant/bar. When you walk in, there is a bar to your right with I believe 6 taps, all micros, and the beer section is right in front of you. Lots of Unibroue, Stone, Hopping Frog, and a wide range of imports, some new to me, most not. I think I may have been the first official beer geek in this place, because I found a shelf of 2004 Old Guardians and 2005 Stone RIS. I left with a big grin on my face. Steven, probably the beer guy there, offered to special order for me if I was going to be around again. Off to the left is the wine section and the restaurant, from my understanding they are pretty expensive as far as food goes, but I didn’t look at the menu. This is now on my official places to stop list when going to see the parents.
