Thanks to the Hoboken Beer & Soda Outlet, often referred to as a pinnacle of innovation, mostly by me, I no longer need to walk home from the liquor store, arms in full burn mode, in an effort to obtain what can only be referred to as "quantities" of choice beverages.
I also think that it's worth mentioning that (save for the car washes) this is the only drive through anything in Hoboken. Sure, you could sit in your car and idle in other towns for fast food, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts…but while you're doing that, I'll be here filling up my trunk with liquid goodness.
I might think that the only point of anxiety for some is not knowing what they want right away….no worries. Pull in, and go all the way to the end, and feel free to get out and browse. Don't miss the beer room, with rows of specialty beer that you won't ever find in a 30 rack.
I drove in, a guy came to my window, asked me what I was looking for. We were stocking up for a party, so I rattled off some water, sodas, bud light, etc. Then I took a walk around the beer room and picked a few selections, as well as a few bottles of cider.
The guys put everything in my trunk while I continued to browse, mentally bookmarking things to get the next time we needed anything. To pay, the guy that helped me just yelled what I ordered, item by item, to a lady in a booth, who then confirmed each item through a loudspeaker. It is old school, and it is a very appropriate way to cash out. He took my card, I signed, noted how much more expensive I thought it would be, and I was on my way.
Just remember: as fun as it was watching them stuff your car with case upon case, there will come a time where you need to unload your car. The guys don't come home with you, and you just ordered 100 lbs of liquid.
Have fun.
I ordered a 1/4 keg of Yuengling for my birthday party. I had never ordered a keg before so I didn't really know what to expect, and I had a lot of questions. I called HBSO about three times with questions before buying the keg the day of my party. Each time, the person who answered the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. I felt confident that this was going to be a great experience. For a reasonable deposit fee, they provided me with a tap and a large barrel that I could fill with ice to keep the beer cold. As long as you return the keg within seven days, you will be refunded your full deposit. I had such a great experience that I'm now looking for reasons to order large quantities of beer or another beverage!
Generally pretty similar prices as other places you can get a keg around here, but you'll find that certain beers can be cheaper here than other places. My advice is to look online at their pricing, and if you're on a budget and you're not picky about beer, you can choose cheaper options here.
They were pretty professional and prepared when we came to pick up our order. Got the keg with bags of ice, a big bucket, and the tap. You have to put a deposit down, refundable upon returning the keg and tap, which is typical. Their fee for returning their property late is very minimal – flat fee of $5, if I remember correctly. That's regardless of whether you return it a couple days or a couple weeks after you were supposed to.
Generally had a pretty good experience here. The staff was friendly and helpful with loading up the car. They also had a selection of other alcohols here, which was convenient.
Tldr; decent prices for area, good service.
