I'm not a big consumer of liquor by any means, but the combination of price and selection at…read moreMurphy's hits the sweet spot better than any other liquor store conveniently accessible from the East Side of Providence. One can certainly find significantly larger selection at liquor superstores in Warwick or Attleboro, and if you are looking for exotic wines or champagnes then you probably would be much happier at those places, but Murphy's does have a surprisingly wide selection of certain items packed into a compact space. Murphy's holds its own with sake, mead, and other less in-demand beverages that small stores typically ignore because they are quite a lot smaller and quite a lot more expensive, and Murphy's best competes as an alternative to those. As a practical matter, if I'm buying a bottle of table wine to bring as a dinner guest or something of that sort, I'm more likely to buy it from Murphy's than from anywhere else because of good prices and convenient location.

I've passed by this place dozens of times and never stopped in because it looks super ghetto. After…read moreseeing the Yelp reviews I figured that maybe it'd be worth a shot. You can't always judge a book by its cover, after all. But sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover. This place is as ghetto as it looks. While having dinner at Doherty's we did a mental inventory of the beer fridge at home and realized we didn't have enough to make it through a Bruins playoff game. I love a place with a good selection and Yelp says that this place has it. I suppose, if you're comparing Murphy's to your average neighborhood liquor store then their selection is pretty decent. But this is no Chris Gasparo's or Yankee Spirits. If you want selection then you need to go to one of the big guys. The selection here is simply above average. The big issue with this place is that it's dirty. Yes, that's in part due to the trashy folks you get walking in and out. While we were there two girl size 26 girls wearing size 6 spandex waltzed in. At one point they simultaneously bent over causing layers of flab to cascade over their skimpy clothing. It was the stuff that nightmares are made of. But the customers aren't the real issue. People watching in Pawtucket is actually one of my favorite hobbies. The problem is that the place itself is just plain dirty. There's one spot with a crumpled up fleece on the floor that's meant to capture water from the dripping roof. Every cooler was covered in grime. The whole place is just dingy. Not to mention, the layout is clumsy. The beer is in three completely different corners of the store. Look, I get it. I don't like my neighborhood liquor store either and I don't give it a shitty score on Yelp because I still go there on a regular basis. It's in my neighborhood and it's convenient. But let's be honest here, this place is really ghetto. If I lived across the street then I'd get my beer there, but I wouldn't like it. Since I don't live in the area I sure as hell won't be back.

I went to the store to buy a 6 pack of Miller Lite beer. There was none in the frig. I asked the…read moreclerk and she said she would look in the back. She came out with a case and took bottles out to make a 6 pack for me. I thought that was generous until I got home and saw that the beer expired. I went back to the store and the person there said he had no authority to take the beer back and I would have to talk to manager. I didn't want to waste my time going back and forth so I threw it out. The store is nicely renovated, maybe they need the money to pay for renovations and that's why they are selling old beer. What else has expired? Be careful and check expiration dates before you leave the store.

Average selection of beer and wine. Can't speak to their selection of whisky, partly because most…read moreof it seems to be behind the counter and therefore hard to browse (I like to browse). The store itself is clean, well-lit, and spacious. Almost too spacious: they could probably shoehorn 50% more inventory in there if they really tried. The guy who works there in the evenings (the owner, I think) isn't overly friendly. You might get a "Hi." I'm sure he's a jolly chap if you get to know him. But I went to Douglas Liquors on probably 15 occasions and never got a "How you doin' today? Did you find everything you were looking for?" or a "Hey, I notice you get the ____ a lot, but have you tried the ____? I really like it." When the person behind the counter has more charm than a three-bean salad, I'm a little more likely to become a regular. Nothing really wrong with the place, but nothing to keep me coming back again and again. I suggest Gallery of Wines for beer and wine (and charm and service), or Liquor World for the hard stuff.

Not at all what I was expecting. Appears to have a decent wine selection as well. Upon leaving, walked away with a free pint glass as well as a loyalty card.

The front seems underwhelming but once you go in, it's one of the nicest, cleanest liquor stores I've been in. A perfect "one stop shop" if you're looking to make a nice dinner, grab some alcohol and even dessert. They have all kinds of specialty foods, meats, cheeses, ice cream etc. Along with EVERY kind of liquor you're looking for. High end tequila, craft beer, wine I mean this store has it all going on. Bonus points for the country music playing also. The prices were priced right on everything and I'm definitely impressed by such variety. The lady working was so cool, so sweet. This is for sure one of my new favorite places in the area I'll definitely be returning!!!

Tonight I decided to try the lemon flavored vodka by deep Eddy. For some reason, I thought it was going to be a week flavored vodka so I poured an 8 ounce glass and that was a big mistake lol. I poured half into another glass for later (maybe) and I added club soda and some sprigs of mint to this glass as well as ice cubes. It's delicious. The store itself is very clean and organized, and I'd say if they don't have what you're looking for I would be shocked. They also have an impressive line of mixers from many different companies, which was pretty impressive. You want a jalapeño infused simple syrup? They have it (yes I know it would be pretty easy to make by scratch, but it would be a little time-consuming and sometimes we're just lazy). This is a very nice store and the prices are very competitive, so check them out if you're ever in Craaannston!
