Ocean Beverage Discount Liquor Store

This is probably the best option on the island for your adult beverage store needs.
The craft beer selection is really weak, but your wine basics are covered. As a PA resident, I found the wine prices to be a notch below the state store pricing, so I can easily see myself occasionally running here for a bottle or two when needed. The wine/​sparking wine selection isn’t that deep, but is good enough based on convenience. I haven’t had a chance to check out their liquor selection yet.
I’ll probably do the majority of my liquor, wine and beer shopping outside of Brigantine, but it’s good to know this shop is around if I need something else.

Been a year long Brigantine resident for 5+ yrs. Lifelong family vacationer.
Called up Ocean Beverage to check on Hours of Operation (the night before a busy holiday weekend) as they are not posted anywhere online.
Guy answers abruptly: «The answer to your question is 10 o’clock.»
Me: «I’m sorry? Hello?»
Rude guy: «It’s 10 o’clock.»
Me: «Oh, you guys are open until 10?»
Rude guy: «Yes. We get a thousand phone calls a night with the SAME question.»
Me: «Oh. I’m sorry… it’s just that, it’s not posted anywhere online.»
Rude guy: «Yeah, well. We live in reality.»
Me: «I’m sorry??»
Rude guy: «We are here ‘now’ in reality. We don’t live on the internet.»
Me: «Ok??? Sorry to bother you.»
So just like the rest of this backwards town here’s one more business that does everything they can to alienate customers, a captive audience that keeps them alive all year long during these 3 short months.
Job well done.
I’m on my way to the Wine Cellar where I might pay an extra $ 2 bucks for a bottle of wine, but, hey, at least the staff there aren’t a-​holes.

One of the few, if only, liquor stores in Brigantine. Prices are a little higher than your average booze store but they can be given location. Needless to say, there is always a long line here, they’re rarely fully staffed at the registers. Their wine selection isn’t all that — depending on when you go, there may be a lot less on the shelves than a regular liquor store. The staff doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of recommendations or service. But when you need to get your drink on, it will get the job done.

Well stocked and fairly priced. Help has always been miserable. Things have been better lately though, actually had a conversation with a few ladies at the counter that seemed very nice. Don’t go changing too much, Id miss the lovable cranks of brigantine.

Ocean is… spotty, at best. This is easily the most patronized packaged goods store in Brigantine, especially in the summer. It’s busy at literally every time of day and yet, for some reason, Ocean’s supply refuses to meet the demand.
I like Barefoot pinot grigio as an everyday wine in the summer. It’s one of the most popular ones ever, or so the sticker on the bottle says. Ocean NEVER has it in stock. Like never. Sometimes they have the small bottles, but they’re a bit of a rip when the bigger bottle is only $ 2 more. The selection here is just not good despite the amount of traffic this place gets. Really dismal champagne selection (I like to keep it classy.)
Probably the worst part about this place is the staff. The staff here, particularly the females, are the most lazy, miserable, unhelpful creatures on the face of this earth. They literally SIT in chairs behind their registers and NEVER GET UP. Not even to service a sale! Never a greeting, never a «have a nice day.» I swear, every single one of them looks like they just found out someone shot their dog.
I take that back. I was in there a couple days ago and there was a girl I’d never seen before and she was actually smiling and very pleasant. The rest of them have facial expressions that lead me to believe they are suffering from severe constipation.
Still, they are conveniently located and very reasonably priced. I will come here over stopping at St. George’s down the street any day.
