Erieshore Beverage & Bait

"Great place to buy drinks they do not have any tackle selection"

"Erieshore Beverage is OPEN! Debbie has really brought this place back! Great place for your quick needs, lottery and home made dishes for takeout. I cannot say enough great things about Debbie and what she has done with this place."

"This place has done a complete turn around. My wife grew up in Eastlake so we came back for a visit. This store had been so run down but is under new ownership! Clean and flowers she remembers are back in time for Mother's Day. The neighborhood has it's store back. Owner has renamed it Lakeshore Beverage so stop in and see Debbie. Thanks for bringing back a great place to stop!!"

"I used to stop here for beer and cigarettes, and on rare occasion lottery, but I just had to stop. Which sucks. I loved having beer and cigarettes and basic convenience shopping in the neighborhood without hitting a main street. I had to stop because the owner is totally rude and never has 75% of the store stocked. It's like a ghost store. He just sits at the counter like a goon all ticked off that money aint just rollin' in with zero effort. God forbid he actually have to do real work like normal people. All of his candy shelves are empty boxes that say "please restock." He only keeps like 3 different packs of cigarettes in stock, even though after coming in every day for a whole summer and continually asking him to keep my brand in stock, just won't do it. Long rantish review, I know, but seriously it got so old walking in and asking for my brand just for him to say "I'm all out til ****day" like, DUDE for months I stayed true trying to help the old man out with his store, but how can I help you if you refuse to keep anything in stock to sell to people? How can money be made to keep you sitting at your counter, smoking cigarettes, reading your newspaper everyday if you're not selling things? You run out every, single, time on that same 2 or 3 brands early every week, just buy an extra carton of each one and voila! You are ahead of the game and making moolah! That's just the inventory. He had a woman working there for about 2 months that claimed she was a small partner that had recently invested to help keep the business open and revitalize the place. Now, idk how true that all was, but she was very nice and anytime my brand was out she would sell me premium cigarettes at the same price as the discounted pack j usually bought. I saw her a few months later working at "purple k" saying he ripped her off and took her money and won't talk to her about it or anything. Guys a bum, he rips of his employees cause they constantly are changing, I know he rolled me for a buck in change one day but I had already left when I realized it, he smokes at the register, he acts bothered when you come in, he doesn't stock anything at all, and yes I will admit he has a large wine selection, but it's all standing on shelves with no a/c in the summer so it may be all nasty and old. Pretty sure wine has to sit on an angled rack if it's long term storage, which at that place honestly it is. I tried, I really did, but I gave up. Guy's a lazy jerk that rips people off, and refuses to keep things in stock no matter how much you keep asking him to stock it. I gave up the day he barked at me like I was some kind of kid. I said farewell, and now I go to the convenience store by Dollar General in Timberlake Plaza with the Circle Lounge. Oh ya, and he sold beer to a undercover minor one day too, so they shut his coolers down for a few weeks summer 2017. For the whole month the guy had Nothing for sale lol, it was pointless to even go there haha. You know what, shop here..place is a great laugh. Really go check it out hahaha. Seriously...do it!"

"Owner is a clown. Bad attitude, and a compete ripoff if you're using this place to buy bait for fishing. People smoke inside this place and it's illegal to do so. I'd give a 0 if I could."
