I prefer the uncropped. The dark strips give it sort of a natural frame, and puts the shelf into perspective for me. Also, I'm not real big on weird aspect ratios, unless it's a panorama. That's a nice shot though, it's making me thirsty.

whats with the glases and bottles on the bottom its like a esher reflection.

That looks to me like the reflection of the bottles & glasses off of the bar counter.

I agree. The black strips frame the picture well. I also like the reflection of the bottles on the bar. The other one looks like you are trying to hide something with the crop.

I would re crop it, so you can see just a little bit more on the tops of the bottles. Also so you can see the reflections of the bottles on the bottom.

Definitely un cropped, Cropped seems too cramped,
