I stopped here on a Sunday morning looking for some snacks and was pleasantly surprised by this convenience store. There was a welcome sign outside and once I stepped inside I noted how organized and clean this shop was. They have snacks, alcohol (seems like half of their items are alcohol), ice cream, candy, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, frozen food, and hygiene items. They had everything that I would look for in a convenience store. The cashier was friendly. I got two snacks, a protein bar and some nuts, which came out to $10. I thought it was a little steep, but this is Beacon Hill. I would come back here again. read more

See all

They fixed all my complaints and are better than the Beacon Hill Market. I would come here now!

Curated good stuffs with affordable price to shop and admire here. People are nice and friendly- love it.

Seems to be transitioning from a friendly, local market with alcohol to a liquor store with a few food and household conveniences. New owners have not been as friendly but, to be fair, they have been very busy effecting their changes. I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude giving benefit of the doubt. read more

I like these guys, they're a neat corner store with a chill vibe and the prices aren't bad at all. Their credit card terminal isn't always working so bring cash instead. Great beer & wine selection, fun staff, and best of all they are in the middle of Myrtle which makes it accessible from all 3 directions. The thing about living in Beacon Hill is that the hilly topography makes you limited in how fast you can reach surrounding stores, meaning it's a walk and a bit to get stuff. Hence the popularity of this corner market. read more

If you don't live on Beacon Hill, you would never know this place exists. Heck, if you live on Beacon Hill, you probably do not know this place exists. On Myrtle St, Beacon Capitol Market hides within the rows of brownstones that dot the area around the State House. There's also a restaurant and a convenience store on the block, though unlike many of the other stores near the State House, you would not be able to find these without searching. Beacon Capitol Market serves a good purpose though. On the upper part of the Hill, there aren't too many places to get a decent variety of stuff. Beacon Capitol Market's has a more diverse variety of beer and alcohol than Campus Convenience, as well as a variety of other things. It's not as big as Campus Convenience, but on those nights when you're going to a party on the upper part of Beacon Hill and need something in a pinch, it's a perfect stopover for that 6 pack of beer or thing of vodka. Not sure about credit cards, though I'm leaning towards no (it's a small place). read more

Just when I was banking on that fact that Charles Street Liquors was just far enough away that I wouldn't buy alcohol too often, in comes Beacon Capitol Market: a tiny little hole-in-the-wall kinda place with a full wall of decently-priced booze. Next thing I know, I'm walking home happy with a black bag in hand, already planning for a delicious cocktail or two in my near future. Thanks BCM, you have officially made me an alcoholic. I hope you're happy. Despite the previous review, they do in fact take credit cards, and the service is fast and friendly. I have yet to partake in their beer selection, but I noticed that they have nearly a full cooler of single-bottle offerings for a good price, which is a rarity for a store this small. In addition to the alcohol, they have all the usual market offerings, such as snack foods and other non-perishable, carbohydrate-based items. To be honest, I think I prefer these guys over City Convenience now: they don't have the convenience-store 200% price markup, they feed all my alcohol habits, not just the wine-based ones, and they are basically always empty of customers because no one more than 100 feet away knows they exist. read more

Why oh why, Beacon Capitol Market, can't you sell me milk that won't go bad within the week?? Seriously, I've probably stopped in for a small carton of skim milk at least 3 or 4 times in the past few months, and each time the milk has gone sour days later. Yes, it's got a good selection of decently priced alcohol, and some other random food and supplies if you're in a pinch, BUT WHY IS MY SKIM MILK ALWAYS SOUR??? Oh how you've disappointed me Beacon Capitol Market. I'll be getting my milk down the street at Beacon Hill Market from now on. read more

When you visit Boston you must stay in the historic and residential area of Beacon Hill. There you will find this market just a few blocks away. When we arrived, we need some basic staples for our apartment. Here you will find milk, juice, eggs, bacon, oatmeal and cereal. They don't have breads or fruits. They have a frozen section of commercial packaged foods. They also have a few deli meats, cheese, hummus, crackers and soda. You will find some toiletries, household products and pet supplies. They do have a half wall filled with a huge section of alcohol. For a small convenience store, they have fair prices and the lady was very helpful to us. If you are in the area and need some basic supplies this is the place to go to. read more

Stopped by here on a way to a friend's apartment. Just needed to grab a bottle of cold wine that was priced well so accomplished that. Seemed like a solid variety though not every bottle they had for sale was in the cooler and there was definitely room for it. The guy at the register seemed a little out of it but was attentive. I like that they sold used book cause I'm a sucker for used books. Nothing good but still a nice feature. Place was clean. read more

This is a very convenient little convenience store. Everyone will occasionally go home and realize that gosh darnit, I forgot milk/green vegetable/booze/eggs. This store is great for that. The prices are higher than a normal grocery store, but cheaper than Whole Foods. I've never come up here to buy something and left feeling completely ripped off and sometimes I feel like I've gotten a good deal. There is a nice selection of sandwiches and salads and a weirdly nice selection of deli items at the front. Make sure you try using level up to pay (it's an app for your phone)! read more

This place is my go to for snacks, wine, beer or any household essentials like paper towels or toilet paper. I'm always smiling when I leave after a friendly conversation with the staff. read more

Great selection of stuff for a small Liquor/Convenience store. Rose and Stu are always friendly, & polite. Sure it's a bit pricier than the Tedeschi on Cambridge street, but for convenience of not having to carry 2 liters & milk up hill, and being a great friendly neighborhhod store, I'll pay it. read more

Perfect neighborhood store. Great prices, Friendly staff, always have everything you need in a pinch. Highly recommend. You can even bring your dog inside for treats. read more

Such a convenient spot! Like other reviewers have noted, you'd probably miss it if you weren't looking for it. While small, it has a bit of everything and the guy who works the counter is very friendly. Decent food, wine, and beer selections here. read more

Great store. Of the 3 markets on Myrtle St, Capital Market is the best priced, the only one with booze and the staff are great. Dog friendly and Stu will do his best to order you whatever craft beer you're wanting to get your hands on. read more

This is a very nice locally-owned and locally-run convenience store with quirky interior design, an excellent selection of affordable wine and nice and eccentric staff. read more

Captol Market rocks! I wouldn't go anywhere else to buy my wine (and I buy lots of it!) The folks are friendly (even give treats to dogs) and a great neighborhood store where you can get liquor, muchies and convenience-store foods like cheeses, eggs, milk, frozen dinners. What makes it so personal is the staff where "everybody knows your name." Very community minded and supports causes like the animal shelter and other charities by letting customers leave collection jars. read more
