Demar Cold Beer & Soda

«All We Are Saying Is GIVE peace a Chance»

I have not had similar experiences with the owner as other Unilocalers purportedly have had. My second time coming to this store we chatted for over half an hour and I would say the adjective «nasty» to describe her does not seem accurate to me. She even threw us a freebie of something real nice.
As for the selection itself, it’s pretty standard. There did not seem to be many limited releases and at this time I have no idea how often they get in rare and limited releases, but overall there’s a pretty standard mix of breweries you can get everywhere in NY. The beers themselves are displayed in no discernible order. There was a few instances of the same beer being in different physical locations, for example. The prices are a tad high as they are more in line with NYC pricing, but overall, it’s a small difference from other local distributors and they are located in a pretty busy area.
Finally, I have to deduct a star for not making use of BeerMenus (or social media) to post new arrivals. These are surefire ways to get customers to your store. An up-​to-​date beer list is the one thing guaranteed to keep me coming in frequently. For now, this is a place I’ll mostly just come to when I run out of beer I bring back from traveling or from going to my old favorite standby Beverage Plus in Floral Park, which unfortunately there is no replacement for on the Island.

A nasty woman manages the place and is out right rude to her customers. I have been in here several times and while the helpers are nice, she works the cash register and has a nasty attitude. In the past I have seen her say rude things to other customers and today she had an attitude with me. I will not be back despite their good selection of beer.

I cannot believe the reviews I am reading. This place is great! Not sure why people are saying the prices are high, if anything, they are fair. What do you expect in Northport Village, rent and taxes are ridiculous. The owner is awesome. She is always smiling, is a charm to chat with and knows her beer. Why wouldn’t you want her to take her job seriously? Would you rather have someone behind the counter that knows squat and is a wine connoisseur. Anytime a friend from out of town is over I bring them here so they can select whatever brew they want, this place has it all, including kegs. The only negative is that they close early on Sunday, so make sure you have enough brews on tap to make it through the late afternoon games.

The selection of a beer distributor, but the prices of 711.

Lady who works the register takes her job way too seriously and is honestly one of the most miserable people. Prices are the same as say a convenient store. If you can get the beer you want elsewhere I recommend doing that because the woman will get underneath your skin.

Beer /​Soda distributor.
De-​mar is conveniently located right on 25A just before you head down the hill into Northport Harbor.
You do pay for the convenience though as the prices are not the greatest — but it is there and the beers and such can be had cold and you can be back on your way in a jiff.
Big parking area in front.
