Self Serve Beverage

Self Serve Beverage has earned a real following in York, and locals will tell you the humidor is the heart of it. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to the climate controlled cigar room, which folks say is one of the nicest enclosed rooms in York County. The variety runs deep, and if you're the kind of smoker who hunts for Ligas, you'll be glad to know they keep them stocked. Cigars, smoking accessories, and cigarettes are all here, and the word around town is that anything you don't see, the staff will do their best to track down and order for you.

The thing regulars keep coming back for is the mix. This is the neighborhood beer distributor and humidor rolled into one, with a solid lineup of domestic and craft beers alongside the stogies. People who shop here swear by the by-the-case pricing, which we've heard beats the grocery and convenience stores nearby. One shopper called out a s'mores porter they'd never seen anywhere else, and there's cider from Wynridge Farm plus slushies when the weather's warm.

The banana slushie has its fans. What really keeps this place well regarded is the people behind the counter. The staff and ownership know their stuff and they're genuinely pleasant about it. One regular mentioned the bald guy working the counter couldn't have been nicer, and more than one person here has been coming for over thirty years.

They'll carry a case to your car if you need it, and the pull-through parking makes a quick in-and-out easy. For a cigar shop in York that treats you right and knows its inventory, Self Serve Beverage has clearly earned its reputation. As one longtime shopper summed it up, one of the best in York County.
