Recently I was searching for a place to find good deals on wine. I read about this place on yelp and decided to visit. First of all, this is an amazing place to discover and learn about wine. The store is very well organized with wine from every region in the world. Walking through the isles I couldn't help but grab so many bottles. Prices are very reasonable here and you get a discount if you spend over a certain amount. I was able to get an entire case. Customer service was top notch, one of the employees even offered to carry my box to the car which was very kind and thoughtful. If you are looking to stock up for a party - look no further!! read more

It's been too long since I've visited BQE Wine & Liquors. BQE has several hard to find items and I made a trip in search of them. I found Rowan's Creek Bourbon, Duckhorn Merlot, and Josh Cellars North Coast reserve Cabernet. There were many more temptations such as Tignanello. BQE is not accessible by bus or train so driving is necessary. They will deliver to local zip codes but unfortunately I do not live nearby. Prices are still rock bottom. read more

BQE Wine & Liquors - a bottle of brandy - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been ordering delivery and bought in store for YEARS and never remembered to leave a review. Going into 2023 like.... Best liquor store in the area, hands down. Best selection and best prices. All of the delivery guys are really friendly and sometimes I have to call with a question and the guy that answers the phone is friendly and helpful as well. Also, $5.00 same day delivery which is pretty damn awesome. Highly recommend. read more

Very good selection of all types of drinks the workers are very knowledgeable on all types of drinks

Big store with lots of options. Really affordable choices too. Wine from all the regions you'd look for. All kinds of sizes too so if you're having a party, you can grab big bottles here. Lots of liquors too, known brands as well as lesser known. Quick service too, I'm always in and out in minutes. read more

Big selection, always a lot of people available to answer your questions. They have a large selection of hard seltzers and some awesome flavors. read more

BQE Wine & Liquors - a skull and a bottle - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I come in here alot, spend 200 to 500/ week as a restaurant owner. Never had a bad experience until yesterday. A larger rounder man, maybe in his 40s was just a dick. I will make an effort to not go back. There are other liquor stores read more

The prices are very reasonable, and the selection of spirits will help you be the toast at any party

Conveniently located right beneath the Brooklyn Queens Expressway overpass, is one of Brooklyn's best liquor stores, affectionately named BQE. In the interest of not going overboard with my appreciation for this place, let me breakdown what makes this place a cut above the rest: * Inventory: They've got it all and in stellar fashion: name brand and independent. The selection is as good as one will find in a store this size. They have everything I've asked for and if they don't, they'll be the first to recommend a place to me that carries it. Way to be secure in your competitor-hood. Get with it and search their catalog online: http://www.bqewineandliquors.com * Prices: No quality liquor is ever going to be cheap, but this place is pretty darn close to offering very reasonable prices not found in most stores. It's not uncommon to find various bottles for $6-8 cheaper than the average retail cost. They'll even knock off another 10% if you buy in bulk and with cash. Score. * Service: Tis true, service is everything. They are awesome with phone orders and are willing to go all out in helping one locate the bottle of ::insert spirit or wine:: and will immediately hold it at the counter for pick up. If there is any knock, it might be the parking. There are some spaces out front are usually available, and thankfully this place is never mobbed with people scouring for booze at a deal. There is also parking under the overpass and around the neighborhood. read more

They have good wine, good prices and good services. The three g's. So it did hit my spot badly. Thankfully I live close and I can go there to buy my wine needs. But even if you don't, you might want to swing by and load it up. read more

My favorite whole sale wine and liquors store. Its so nice if you party a lot or having many friends come over to your house. Price of all things here are cheaper than regular store and they have so many stuff. The ppl who work here is nice and they keep eye on some ppl if they cut the line. Im kindsa happy that they pay attention to the customers :) read more

If you need a good price on great wines and/or liquor and you are near this place just get that from here! Great selection, They have your classic stuff and others if you want to try anything new. As someone that is really becoming interested in learning more wines I recommend to any doing the same! They have a wide variety of countries and all! And the Prices! When I walk past this place, I usually see people buying in good bulk amounts with very satisfied looks. Not to mention a good friendly staff! Helpful, professional and kind! read more

Excellent prices good variety and great customer service if they don't have something they are open to suggestions

It took a pandemic for me to stop using apps and start supporting local businesses properly. These guys have a website that's easy to order from and scheduling deliveries runs smoothly. Great selection and delivery guy wears PPE. Great prices too. read more

Been frequenting BQE for a long time, great prices and selection. Was shocked to find out they will not exchange a corked bottle. If your a regular wine drinker opening a flawed bottle is something that will eventually happen and I've never had an experience where the business you bought it from refused to make it right. In their words: "we are not responsible for what's in the bottle" and when I asked if they could toss it for me so I didn't have to carry it back home they said "it's your trash you take it with you" Wait what? You sold it to me. Buyer beware read more

Truly they are the best price in town. So much high quality wine to choose from. If you have any questions about which wine to purchase everyone here will do their best to steer you in the right direction. The lady at the front cashier is one of the nicest, and most helpful person I ever encountered at any business I been to. They also deliver within 1 hour depending on your zip code. I really like the Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir. Its about $6.00, but you get a discount if you purchase more. Its right off the BQE, and it seems to have good parking. I also love that it is family owned. I love mom and pop stores. Growing up in Greenpoint, I see that most are gone which is very sad. I support family owned and operated business whenever I can. read more

On the west coast, I fell in love with BevMo; the Costco of liquor stores. Here on the east coast, we have BQE Liquors; and there's nothing sacrificed other than the smaller footprint. The wine selection is quite generous with three aisles of well stocked racks of all varieties, and shelves in the back for those larger bottles ;) The liquor selection is also quite generous. If you don't see what you are looking for, just ask. They may have it in the back or can order it for you. They have also been very helpful and I've never had an issue coming out empty handed, which may be a sign of a problem to some. Parking gets hectic since it is on Meeker, especially around the holidays, but have no fear as there is plenty of parking under the BQE across the street. They offer discounts on multiple bottle purchases, limited only to what you can (comfortably) carry. Discounts are available for wine (10% off 3-5 bottles, 15% off 6-11 bottles, 20% off 12 or more bottles), spirits (10% off $100+, 15% off $200+), or mixed wine & spirit purchases. Definitely your one-stop shop to restock your bar or party. Beer is not sold here, but you can get it a few blocks back on Meeker at ABC read more

Husband: "Will you do me a favor? It might sound kind of weird." Me, thinking ooh, here comes the kink: "Oookay..." Husband: "Will you yelp BQE Wine? [Wah, wah/sad trombone] Husband: "They've got everything and they're so sweet. The woman tonight went in the back and looked for about 10 minutes for that bottle of Sav Blanc because it wasn't on the floor." Me: "Okay..." [Start tapping away on computer, think I'm done, take a call, get distracted, start washing dishes] Ten minutes later.. Husband (calling from bedroom): "Hey, babes..." Me: "Yeeees?" Husband: "Be sure to mention that their prices are two to three dollars less than the other wine shops in the area, will ya?" Me: "um...okay" Husband: "Oh, yeah, and that they're open late--and on Sundays." [Sigh] read more

I completely agree with Eliza B. This place is crazy fantastic. I just wanted to add one thing because I saw she put that there was no parking. If you just look across the street there are like four parking lots. That's where I always park when I go there. I think it's bigger than most places in brooklyn, and the selection is really great, not to mention the discounts if you buy mutliple bottles (it's not just a summer thing, I've been taking advantage of it for a while!!!) read more

For an idea of their prices on liquor: $23.85 for a 750 ml bottle of Eagle Rare single barrel bourbon $20.99 for a liter of Gosling black rum. read more

Top notch. I won't buy liquor anywhere else now. I'll plan ahead and have a fully stocked bar. Other people can buy from corner stores that charge double. The discount policy, which is something like 10% off if you buy 3 bottles, 15% if you buy 6, and 20% if you buy 12, really makes buying champagne in bulk seem like a reasonable way to spend your afternoon. read more

Talk about the best of both worlds.....a selection of booze that would put Liquor Square to shame and prices that even the Sunday circular can't keep up with. An entire wall of scotch, bourbon and whiskey that one comes to pay homage to, all priced about 3-5 bucks cheaper than everywhere else in Gotham. The staff all know they spirits, so no question is a silly question to them, all ready and willing to help you quench your thirst. Wine selection ranges all over the place but typically stick to the affordable side of spectrum. It's cold out there, time to stock up. read more

Avoid this store if you are ordering for a gift. Wanted to purchase high priced gifts for delivery literally 2 blocks away form the store. Called, they said this could only be done online. Ordered, but no where to pay. Called them again, and they said their policy is to only accept payment at time of delivery. This is a gift....most ridiculous policy I have encountered, and order gifts all the time. I cancelled order, said this was ridiculous and they lost a $350 purchase. The guy on the phone had the arrogance to say "that won't hurt us...". Definitely not a consumer friendly place. read more

First off this is right off the service road of the BQE. Don't drive to fast as you can pull over right in front and usually find a spot. Just be careful traffic moves fast in the street. This is not the biggest liquor store around but, the selection is on point for the location. and size. One thing I have to say is that their prices are pretty good. They are on par with those warehouse liquor super stores. For instance I have seen a bottle of Davinci Chianti wine 2011 go for 12.99 Even 14.00 here it was for under $10. So you basically get the warehouse prices for the single bottle rather than having to buy 2 bottles to get the discount. With that savings alone this makes BQE liquors a definite stop if I am near bye. They also carry all the major liquor's that you expect to find in a Liquor store. Try the Tito's Vodka its the new thang!!!!! Don't drink and drive..... read more

I remember when I first moved to the hood about a decade ago, I wondered what this place under the BQE was about - BQE Discount Wine and Liquors? Sounds like a place I would really like... And indeed--this place is awesome! They have a wonderful selection of booze, a good selection of wine, and their staff are very cordial and friendly. They have a huge basement and their owner buys large quantities of booze (I believe by the pallet) so that they can sell their booze at a far cheaper cost than any of their competitors. I discovered this when I inquired how they could sell their Lagavulin 16 yr for only $50 (usually sells for anywhere between $60-75 elsewhere). Their selection of scotch and bourbon is superior! Their selection of other booze ranges from good to great! The only thing I would say isn't quite as sexy is maybe their selection of wine (it's still good). I remember one time, I saw this Devil's Spring 160 proof vodka and wanted to get it. The ladies behind the counter started telling me stories of how the old men in their family would drink it straight to help wash down all the meat at the end of dinner. But they also gave me a stern warning that it must be mixed and not to even consider drinking it straight as it could kill me! They actually said it could kill me if I drank it straight! Well, it is 160 proof. I bought it for a party a long, long time ago, and it is still sitting on my liquor shelf unopened... Oh, if you like to stock up and buy a bunch of booze at once, they have 10% discounts on bulk purchases too. Cheers! read more

Ok, I'd seriously like to know if anyone else has found a better shop in the area. I haven't. I live near Fort Greene, and while I'd love to patronize Gnarly Vines to keep it in the nabe, their prices and selection just don't hold a candle to BQE. Plus, we're both polish, so I feel like I'm communing with my people. Seriously thought, BQE is the best I've found. A truly awe-inspiring collection of liquor. Most everything I've wanted, and not been able to find elsewhere, is here. And the prices are good to great. Single malt scotch: very good bottles from $35-$45. Lagavulin 16 for $52?!? Get real!! This is $80+ most places in NYC. Bourbon: 750ml of Buffalo Trace for $19.99. Come with cash or a debit card and spend over $100 for the best deals. They seem to have a great selection of wine, but I'm not into wine, so I can't say for certain. But seriously, before you spend more than $100 on your next party or stocking your bar, you need to check out this place. I don't know of anything better in the 5 boroughs. Even the cheap mail order places are often more expensive. read more

It never would have occurred to me to write a review of a liquor store but this place is the best! It blows my mind how sincerely friendly the staff are - it's almost unsettling. I want to give them all a big hug. Prices are also great and even their website is classy. The BEST. read more

I am French, bought a couple of bottles of Champagne (so cliché). Nice selection (around 7/8 different bottles, which is decent here). Bottom line : same price than in Paris. No need to say more. read more

I was visiting from California and came across this awesome store. It's filled with all types of liquor, beer, wine and sake (those are the types I saw). Employees are really helpful and it's clean. Those prices are amazing!! You can't beat the price of a bottle of good alcohol found in this gem. Check it out, you won't regret it. read more

Since my review, I've learned that due to NYS law, wine&spirits sales have to be separate from beer. Sadface. Ergo, I now have no reason to deduct a start. BQE Wine & Liquors, you are officially a 5 star in my booze lovin' book! read more

Just ordered online and got my delivery within 30 minutes ! They have the best prices in the area and a great selection . . Thumbs up! Best liquor store in Williamsburg/ Greenpoint area read more

Cheapest liquor store around! And they actually really know their wine and give great recommendations. Discounts if you buy 3 or more bottles. Cheapest price I've found for Veuve Clicquot. Be warned none of their wine/champagne is cold, but totally worth it. Also found good price for Johnny Walker Blue. read more

This is as cheap as wine / liquor is going to get in this city. They have a gigantic selection of both wine and liquor, along with impressive bulk discounts and low-floor pricing in general. I have also always been happy with the customer service here in the past, the only problem is they close relatively early most days... 9:00pm :( read more

There's a deal when you see one! Great prices on some good stuff. Check their site, they have it all catalogued out. Middle of nowhere under the BQE, but definitely worth the trip. Also One Stop Beer Shop is nearby, so you can hit that up afterwards! read more

I went to BQE Liqours in December to buy a scotch that has become hard to find for my husband. Not only did I find the one I was looking for, but 2 others I forgot I even wanted! The prices beat any other place I've ever purchased at before, by at least $5 - 10 a bottle. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. I also appreciated all of the parking available under the expressway. read more

My boyfriend suggested that we take a ride Brownsville to go to this store. Worth the travel. The prices are unbeatable and the variety is amazing. We left with way more than we expected to get. read more

This place has been my go too liquor store in the greenpoint Williamsburg area . Prices are the best and cannot be best honestly , also they have always been willing to help me find what I was looking for with no issues. They are often very busy so it might take a few for a employee to help you but rest assure that you will be assisted. Thanks for the great service read more

This is the most reasonably priced liquor store in the area and they have a huge selection. And everyone who works there is friendly!!
