Review by Rebecca Kohlmann

Awesome spot for any kind of trip. Attended a small, intimate bridal shower here. The staff was amazing! Handled the group so well and made it so special for the bride.

Review by rmsdud qkr

Nice interior design, but a little small. Wine is way too pricey in my opinion. The cheapest options are $8+ for 5 oz and go up to $50. $50!?!?? Decent place but it’s not really affordable for a normal person.

Review by Sarah Elm

Did not feel welcome whatsoever when my boyfriend and I came here for a date night. I had to ask how everything worked and was never thanked for my business. The wine is pricey. It's a shame because the place is very neat and cozy on the inside. Will not return.

Review by Maurice beryozkin

Man working was rude, provided no explanation of how anything worked, acted like we were bothering him for entering the establishment. Talked down to us because we did not have knowledge of different wines, and became irritated because we asked if there was a relation with the Ames location. I’m sure we just had a bad experience with the one man who was working and other people would be better suited to work in a customer service environment. Did not thank us when we left. I wish i got his name, but he rude was enough to where i would not return. Building was very nice and cozy and wine was good.

Review by Meg Marker

Loved this place when i came in with a group a month ago. Just could have been greeted by a friendlier worker. He didn't seem happy to help anyone. But it's a great place!

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
