Santoro Beer Dist

Well, they have cheap beer… which is basically the most positive thing I can say about this distributor. I would basically only come here if I absolutely didn’t have the time to go anywhere else. Bring a friend with you for protection, there are some shady shadies that pop in here… I would definitely only come here in broad daylight. For a better selection, friendlier clientele in the area, go to Stone’s on Fairmount or that other place by Kite and the Key on Callowhill.
Also, I would recommend going with cash… their credit card machine was down the last time I went.

Walking into this place blows my mind. All you can do is stand in this empty room with advertising all over the place and try to figure out what their selection of beer is. There’s no telling, in addition, if they have any of it chilled — you just have to ask. Bulletproof glass prevents you from getting any closer to any of the action, and browsing is impossible. You walk to the counter, ask for your selection, pay and leave. Your beer is delivered through a hole in the wall.
Having said that, their selection isn’t all that bad. It’s just daunting being inside and having to decide without seeing anything.
A fine distro, but I’ll usually bike down to Stone’s on Fairmount instead. It’s just easier.
