101 has the best craft beer selection in NEO hands down. It is also nice to wander on over to the bar side where you can buy a pint of potential beer youre looking at over on the bottled side. It has that nice college small town vibe. The locals .are great conversationalists.
A lovely bar and store, and a college-town necessity. Its a great place to snag a six pack of micro-brewed goodness or a bottle of wine, and should you choose to take a seat inside, you cannot beat the ever-changing tap selection, unparalleled whiskey selection, and food truck collaborations.Occasionally the staff can be a bit inconsistent--it really comes with the territory in a college town, especially one whose population changes drastically--but the more aged staff are pretty friendly and knowledgeable.Definitely a great place to visit for a cold one.
Comfortable patio with string lights and above heaters. Draft menu changes all the time, really living up to their name not only in their store selection but also their beer menu. Vibrant and colorful store full of beer charisma and flavors!
101 Bottles has a great selection of beer, kegs, wine, sake, and some seasonal specialty liquor thats great for gifts. You can special order specific kegs, or make requests for certain beers youd like to buy and they are accommodating. You can bring your own food and enjoy the tap room with indoor and outdoor seating and sip some beer, wine, or bourbon. They also have special events with food trucks as the guest stars. Wheelchair accessible and on site parking this gem is conveniently located in kent a block from downtown and on the edge of campus.
Craft beer heaven and the staff go above and beyond to be pleasant and accommodating
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Can no longer get what I was looking for but helped me find a suitable replacement.
Hungry for money so much theyre willing to lose customers! Spent $50 total on a bottle of mead, a flight and a decent tip. Yet after I open my bottle outside just to smell it between my friends and I. They take my bottle from me and yell me I have to pay an opening fee before I can have my bottle back!
They always have a good mix of beers on draft. We come here and get a flight to split to sample different beers. They have a great selection of local and sometimes not so local craft beers on their menu. Also, they make some really good mix drinks. In addition, they have a ton of beer to choose from in their retail section. Stop on by bottles and give it a shot! You wont be disappointed+
Such a great selection and friendly staff
Neat place, picked up a 1/6th barrel and two mix and match packs, also had a beer at the bar, good selection of beers.
Really great selection and atmosphere. Highly recommend for any local of Kent.
Good service at the bar. Large selection.
Gret place to get your beer along with a couple of flights while you make up your mind what you want to quench your Thirst.
Very cool place with a lot of cool beers and bourbons. The beers seem to be fairly priced as well.
Lots of beers to choose from but be prepared to spend alot. Very expensive
Very nice selection. Less singles than Id like with a bit of a mark up but overall great finds.
I entered the store simply to buy non alcoholic beverages for myself and some beer for my girlfriend. Rather than being given an easy alcohol purchasing experience, I was met with sheer incompetence from the cashier. Not only was he incapable of reading my military ID, which clearly displays my date of birth, he made up some non-sensical thing about how my military ID cannot be used as a form of ID. Federal law states otherwise and when I called to question the imbecile about this dispute, he made an excuse saying that his decision not to sell to me was a store policy discrepancy.
Love this place and their incredible selection of craft beers, ciders, wine, etc. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and you can also order all types of kegs and beers from them that are unavailable in the stores
Great selection. Friendly staff.
Always a great time, my go-to bar with my friends, great selection and chill atmosphere
I think this is my favorite bar that Ive ever been to.Friendly, helpful, unpretentious staff. The best tap list in town. A fantastic retail selection. Good specials. Great cocktails, (if Cayties working ask her to make you a Popskull). Doggo friendly patio seating. All in a more relaxed than actual downtown environment.
One of my favorite spots for craft beer! Whether Im trying something on tap or picking up a 6 pack to take home, they always have a new one I havent tried or something Ive been looking for.
4 stars for existing I was at a different business locally. Maybe this is a sign I should check it out. Who knows.
Neat place to grab a drink with some friends. Great selection of beer on tap. Atmosphere is nice. Will definitely be returning!
I call this joint Bottles 101 because it is an education in beer. Plus they have some great selections on draft to try.
Since reopening in May, 101 bottles has put the safety of their staff and customers first by wearing masks and being on top of cleaning between tables, menus, etc. after each guest uses something. they went above and beyond with their portable plexiglass dividers between bar seats so customers can still enjoy a drink at the bar and socialize with the person next to them, while still feeling comfortable once they take their mask off! Their customers have been awesome about wearing a mask until seated because 101 attracts such a great group of people. Thank you 101 bottles!
Its always a treat to go into 101 Bottles. Amazing selection, knowledgeable staff. You can have a beer before you buy your beer for takeout.
Ive been coming here for about 4 years now. Even since I moved further away from Kent I still tend to come here for an occasional drink or to buy my beer. Their selection is always up to date with the best seasonal, local, and popular beers. The atmosphere is cool too. Great specials and they allow you to bring your own food and just hang out. Definitely a place Ill be sure to always try to return to when Im in the area
A local staple in Kent for as long as I can remember. They always have a fantastic beer selection and there is always something new to try.
The best beer selection I have seen in Northeast Ohio!
Super cute local college bar with an amazingly vast variety of craft beers! I love this place and the staff is always super helpful and friendly.
Giant beer selection. Small bar with both beer and spirits
This is a Kent staple. The selection of alcohol is incredible, and its not just beer. You can buy individual drinks, make a 6-pack, or just grab a drink at their bar. There are certain drinks that were only able to find here, like Japanese imports, or banana bread beer.The atmosphere is very Kent, which is to say very hip and just so cool.
I love this place. The beer selection is good, and its a nice place to have a few pints. Its nice being able to ask about beer from the knowledgeable folks working there. You know they love beer. Hooray beer!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great beer to go and a great selection at the bar. Constantly improving the space to better accommodate their customers. A great place to get a beer inside or on the patio and stay away from the chaos that downtown Kent could be. Food truck Fridays during the summer and tap takeovers throughout the year. Best bar in Kent.
Pretty terrible theyre not doing curbside or delivery. Theyve certainly lost hundreds of dollars of my business. 5 stars all day pre-pandemic.
Excellent draft craft beer, & friendly service!
Best beer selection around. Love that they have a beer selection on tap and ability to get craft beer kegs. Wine selection is also legit.
A great place for beer lovers.
Awesome beer selection, and many taps of beers that are hard to find.
Nice selection. Cant wait to try the food sometime
Service and beer are always fabulous. We sat inside and enjoyed their newly expanded space as the patio was more crowded. All employees were masked and were visibly cleaning.
Great staff. Excellent variety of beers
I absolutely this place! im not from Kent but i come into town and always have to stop here. Recently i was able to order beer that i cant get in Texas and the staff was amazing. Beer selection is amazing. Highly recommend!!
Solid and diverse section of beers. Nice selection of craft beers on tap.
One of the best beer stores in all of Northeast Ohio. So many quality options and a great place to hang out. You wont leave here empty handed. Theres something for everyone.
Great place! Almost TOO MANY choices but the staff guides you them it like Sherpas!
Thanks for getting me drunk!
Excellent beer selection.
Great selection...great service!
Home away from home! Best selection of craft beers Ive ever seen, paired with an excellent wine selection. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always clean, they obviously take a lot of pride in ensuring the places looks the part. The bourbon selection is great and they have terrific cocktails at the bar. Definitely our go-to for a night out or for all of our beer needs!
Amazing variety
Love the selection of local, fun and craft beers. I can always find something perfect as a gift. You can even mix your own six pack. Makes a great gift for guys.
Great place for drinks. Friendly helpful staff. Great selection of imported beers and wine.
I go here somewhat frequently to check out their craft beer selection. They always have a delicious draft selection that rotates pretty frequently. Their retail selection is pretty impressive for both beer and wine. The most important thing is that the staff there is super friendly and knows their products. I love this place.
A truly staggering array of craft and brand name beers. A cozy and clean environment. An in house bar. Truly something for everyone. Friendly staff always available to help.
Super helpful employees :) thank u
This is one of a few bottle shops near Akron/Cleveland/Kent I frequent. It is the top bottle shop in that area. Prices tend to be $1-$2 more per bottle on anything more rare, similar to Lizardville, but their rare inventory does warrant those prices in many instances. I love their relationship with Wolfs Ridge in Columbus. You can always count of them to have a ton of their beer. Largest craft beer selection in the area which is extremely well curated. They also have wine and many beers on tap with frequent takeovers by popular breweries. I dont know them personally, but they are friendly and informative every time Im there. Hopefully they are around for a long time.
Pretty cool little place. I enjoyed my time there. Check it out!! You wont be disappointed. The male bartender with the long beard could use a lil personality but still was a nice place.
I have been going here for many years now and the place has only improved with age. They have a great selection, the bar is nice and not normally overly loud (except for during events, which is to be expected), and the staff is very knowledgeable about beer. Even though many of the big box stores are now stocking craft beer, they still do not get some of the rarities that 101 has in stock. I would recommend to anyone that has not been here to check this place out.
I was very pleased to find they sell a good variety of 5-liter mini kegs
Very friendly staff! Good selection of beers.
101 is always a fun and has a good atmosphere. A wonderful selection and a fun bar and patio. Very helpful staff
Top dog best place 4 beer
Its pricy, but they have a great select.
Great service! Very knowledgeable about the huge selection. Anything from a local Ohio IPA to a Peanut Butter Hefeweizen from Kansas!
Bottles is awesome. If youre looking for a beer, they got it. What I love Bottles for is the bar and their patio seating. Its a great spot to enjoy some drinks with friends.
Best place to buy beer. Top 5 places in the area to HAVE a beer. They have events often! Visiting brewers that give free glasses! Brunches that I can never drink at because I ALWAYS have to work later! Friendly and well informed staff!
Best selection of beer in Kent BY FAR! Best place to go to try new craft beer. Honestly dont know a better selection in the region!
Huge and interesting selection of wine and beer. Dont know exactly what youre looking for? Their customer service is outstanding. Casual and fun.
The best bar in Kent. Its such a great place to hang out with some friends and have a few drinks.
Truly Kents best bar, the staff is always nice and the beer is always fresh, cold and delicious, the most low key place in kent for beer.
Great selection of beers, and they sometimes carry many select non-alcoholic beers (which are sometimes hard to find).
Now first off let me start by saying this place is the absolute best when it comes to craft beer. bar none I go there quite often, being from Newton Falls I will drive that distance for a good/excellent craft beer. I have started my own reviews on the beers and when I get them from there Ill give them many props and shout outs. If at any time I cant find something, 9 times out of 10 if they can get it in they will let me know, that is if they can get it from there distributor. If I had to give this place a rating it would be a 20/10, there always busy for the most part and there prices arent to bad. Now this is just based on my experience with there craft beer nothing else. Great job guys, keep it up.
Awesome beer and wine selection and super friendly staff!
Great place for unique craft beers on tap. They always have something new in their rotation. None of the same old thing like everywhere else.They also have a great bottle and 6 pack shop. Decent prices and knowledgeable employees.
Amazing and I mean literally.
My fiance and I go here quite often to get beer for home and to occasionally hang out for a drink or 2. Great selection of beverages. My fiance likes the moonshine drinks and they always have several awesome beers on draft.
Great beer. Great staff. Great time. Amazing beer selection.
Shop for beer and wine while drinking beer, bourbon or shine. What more could you want?
Staff is knowledgeable as well as extremely friendly. If one has a question about a beer they will give you their honest opinion and if that doesnt suit you they will give you a little sample of the beer. Great place to build your palate and see which beers you might enjoy.
The selection has always been good. I think the place is outstanding since they added the bar. When something new is on draft they almost always have it for sale in the store. This is a great way to try before you buy.
Only bought beer here but not a bad place.Edit: ill give it a 5 instead of four. Could be bigger for a large pack of friends but it is still fine. Got some shots here and a soda. Pleasant vibe and nobody will bother you friendly staff and bartender. Plenty of food places to eat around it also like luccis pizza and penn station. Those are feet away but within the mile is plenty of more food.
One of my favorite beer spots, the place is really clean and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The tap lists are good and the events are fun. I really like the atmosphere in the place, good music, good beers and good people. A staple of Kent for sure!
An amazing place that has a selection of alcohol that is local and from parts of the world.They are always changing what is on tap so you get something new every few weeks it seems like. The staff have always been courteous and relaxed, serving guests and making sure the table has been cleaned off especially when its a busy night with a popular food truck outside.On another note, there is no food here, but you are certainly welcomed to bring in food from other places and dine in with a drink in hand from the bar.It is dangerously close to Luccis, Penn Station, Chipotle, etc - so it is VERY easy to find food with your drink if you dont like the food truck they have situated outside during any of their events.All in all, one of my favorite places in Kent and I keep going back - please do keep up the great work and customer service.
101 bottles has knowledgeable staff dont get that everywhere they are the friendliest bunch youve ever met also the owner does not mess around there when things need done they get done
They have great prices and an amazing selection of beer and wine. The only thing they lack is hard liquor. (They are not a state store)
Absolutely fantastic beer selection in the store, amazing selection on tap, great whiskey options and cocktails. Great friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic place all around.
For the past five years, whenever I travel to Kent from Cleveland, I make a mandatory stop at this establishment. They always have sours on tap, which is rare in Cleveland, and some hard to find ales. Great selection of bottled beers and wine. You can bring food from elsewhere and eat it there.
One of the best places in the area to go buy wine and beer. Not very many other places in town are this friendly with this large of a selection of beer and wine. Nice bar too if you want to stay and have a drink.
Great selection of drinks. Many Ive never seen anywhere else. Bar has lots on tap. Seating can be limited. They do not serve food, but do allow you to bring outside food.
They have the best and friendliest app! The choice of beers was excellent! Food truck Fridays during the warm months is the best thing around!
Been coming here regularly for 4 years. Awesome, knowledgeable staff, awesome beer. Prices may be a little high but thats what you get with a premium experience. Will continue to come here all the time.
This place is possibly the best place in Kent. It has the best collection of craft beers to pick up to take home, but if youre ever looking to kill an hour or two they also rotate the best of those craft beers out on tap. The staff here has always been insanely friendly and the prices have always been on point. Visit this place if youre in Kent.
Great craft beer selection if you like ipas. The pilsner I had was good as well. No food served, but your welcome to get a pizza next door and bring it in.
