Unlike other stores, every item is clearly labeled so no fun price surprises at the cash register. They have a very good selection of beer, and if they don't have what you're looking for, they will order it for you! They also gave me a 10% discount for ordering a case. The Belgian beer I get is 5 cents more across the street at Trader Joes (big whoop) but the 20 minutes Of peace I gain by not having to venture into that madness and wait in line is priceless:) plus trader joe's only has but 1 flavor.

So I wasn't prepared for this experience... I found out about their "free wine tasting" after…read moregoogling "things to do in Boston" so I thought it would be a cool activity to do while in the area. I was picturing maybe a small private room with some chairs and a few bottles of wine for tasting. Well we got there and we realized it was just a liquor store, their tasting took place in a little corner by the register on a small plastic table and consisted of one red and one white bottle of wine. The little shpiel about the wine and the tasting itself took maybe 2 or 3 minutes total. Not really quite what we had in mind. Probably not worth the 45-minute trek across town but on a positive note, we did find a great little Asian fusion restaurant/bar/lounge that made the trip worth it. And on the other hand, if I lived in this neighborhood, I'm sure this would be a really great place to pick up a bottle of wine or other "spirit" on the way home to match with dinner.

LOVE THIS PLACE! I…read morelove everything about this location. I am here very often and the staff is incredible. They take the time to get to know the customers and will accommodate your needs where they are able. Cannot beat the convenience of the location. It is within the Star Market Grocery store so it really is your one stop shop. I would recommend this location to everyone! Never met a friendlier staff!

Ripped off at this store. Was charged $13 for a 6pack of Sierra Nevada. I saw the price on the…read morecredit card machine and stated clearly "I'm not going to pay $13 for this" got no response from the asshole clerk so I hit the button that says cancel. This is when he speaks to me for the first time since the start of the transaction and states "you just hit the credit button". Instead of canceling the sale on his end, or instructing me how to cancel the sale on my end he let the sale go through and did not give me the option for a refund. Wish I could give 0 stars. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Another plus- the guy who is always working there befriended me after my second visit and now always asks how I'm doing, if I'm going out tonight etc etc. Nice guy, I just hope he doesn't think I'm an alcoholic because of the frequency of my visits :)

I wish I could give this a 0 stars rating. First of all, it's ridiculously over priced here. But…read morethat's not even the worst part. Yesterday, and again today my friend went here to purchase alcohol. The first time we went there they accepted her ID, (a New York state ID that is valid, but not a driver's license), but told her she would need to bring a different ID next time because it looked fake. She's turning 22 this May, so we obviously found this ridiculous, because they took my New Jersey state license just fine. Yesterday, the SAME employee REJECTED her ID, claiming he couldn't sell to her because it was fake. He was going to take it until my friend had to THREATEN to call the cops (because yeah, it's illegal to seize and destroy real ID's). Today, my friend went in with her state ID, passport, and ORIGINAL COPY OF HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and she was STILL REFUSED. They claimed all of the documents were faked, and that they would sell to her if she was a man because it's "easier to tell when men are 21." Needless to say, the employees that work at this establishment were frankly sexist assholes, and I am NEVER shopping at this store again, nor the Star Market attached. I'm genuinely disgusted with how my friend was treated, the poor quality of customer service, and the outright lies the employees were saying. Do they even realize how f-ing difficult it is to forge birth certificates and passports? Clearly they're not well trained to spot fakes versus reals, or they were just being assholes. Whoever is the hiring manager of this establishment clearly doesn't know how to hire reliable and intelligent individuals. Congratulations, you've lost not only TWO customers, but all of our friends that we're currently telling about this horrific treatment.

Michael. Michael is simply a genius when it comes to wine and the insights that he shares with his customers are fascinating and incredibly helpful. I've walked away each time with a greater appreciation and understanding of wine in general, and have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. This has quickly become my "go-to" store and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgable as Michael. Importantly, you'll walk out knowing you made a quality purchase without having exceeded your budget, and that's always a recipe for success. Go, and ask for Michael - you won't regret it.
