Absolutely wonderful staff. Made my wife and I feel very welcome. They were very invested in finding my wife exactly what would suit her needs best. Product was also well priced and they have lots of deals and discounts. Would highly recommend this dispensary for seasoned users and for cannicurious!

I just had some of the most enjoyable moments browsing the fairly priced artisanal cannabis offerings here at The High Bar cannabis store. Ended up in lively and inspirational conversation with owner operators Nin and Bob Dellisola. I left feeling high before I even smoked my first pre roll from a cool kit of small batch, whole flower pre rolls they carry from Mechayeh. And now. Writing this review while smoking on a Mechayeh pre roll, I am feeling just right. And for those who follow signs, my car, the one in the pics just hit 35,000 miles pulling up to the front door. This is a good place run by good people. I grow weed myself and I am finding lots of joy supporting local weed shops like this one.

Staff is very knowledgeable and polite. The selections are amazing and you can find pre rolls and bud that other local dispensaries don’t have! One of my favorite stops to make

This is a really great little shop that I finally remembered to stop into and I'm glad I did. Good selection, GREAT PRICES, and they stock my two favorite growers. The pink haired lady who helped me was super friendly, helpful, and fun to deal with. I will definitely be back when I am in Essex again later this month.
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.
