Simply the best place in Grand Rapids to buy beer. Extensive and diverse selection, often having many difficult to find beers; a very large selection of draft beers, if you have use for them; and an extremely knowledgeable staff willing to help you with your selection or to just discuss beer or life. Also, it’s a great high-end grocery and wine shop, and it’s connected to a top-notch bakery. Prices are very slightly higher than in large chains, but it’s worth it.

Been quite some times since I have been here. At the time they did not sell beer in singles. Parking was not so great but it is a crowded area. The staff was super helpful however. I emailed them about wine/liquor called Blonde Lillet (ingredient for a James Bond martini, but that’s another story) and Brugel (an odd rum, also another story) and they had it which saved us a lot of trouble. The wine selection was great as was the cheese and baklava selection. Only real lows were price and beer selection. Overall it was a decent place.

Really not all that impressive. A lot of major American micros like Ommegang and Avery but a lot of Michigan micros that you wouldn’t see outside the state but there are better places to go while in GR. It seems like their focus is much more on wine (thus the name). That and their prices are quite a bit more than a lot of other places in the area. Great cheese selection though.

Great place to hit after a hardy meal downtown. They’ve got great deserts that are fun to pair with their wide selection. Store clerks are knowledgable and friendly. Don’t go in looking for a deal. You won’t find one. I’ve also had experience with there excellent catering services.

Nice little store in the hart of Grand Rapids, they have a lot of other speciality items here. Good selection of brews some specially brews you can’t find anywhere else in GR. A bit pricey. Staff was pleasant and not pushy (Always appreciated).

When I lived around the corner from Martha’s throughout the 90’s I spent so much money there that I would get a card from them during the holiday’s. I had too much disposable income for my own good and I disposed it at Martha’s. You have to stop in there if you are in the area... you will either love the place or decide that you can find another option for 1/2 the price. I loved it because I knew everyone there and the selection was (is) great. Give it a try.

A corner deli/convenience store/liquor store. Picked up a bomber of Stone XI Anniversary and the had many other offerings with signs in the coolers that said more Michigan beer coming soon. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Very, very good selction, lots of beers that arent available anywhere else in Grand Rapids though not as good as Siclianos. The staff is knowlegable but wont bug you if you don’t ask for help. A little too hipster sometimes though - that might be a good thing for some people, a turn off for others

Friendly staff, but not all that helpful. Great selection with a good selection of singles.

Friendly staff and fine selection. Parking and location are negatives. Prices on most items are high, but they did have some good specials.
