Might want to tell your two cashiers who were working on August 10th at 6:30pm that calling customers derogatory names in Spanish isn't really a good idea. Some of us speak it. I don't appreciate being called a female body part and then a homosexual slur After I checked out. Will never shop here again. read more

Small in comparison to the big box stores such as Stew Leonard's, Total Wine, Bottle King, etc., but they have a GREAT fine wine selection. In fact, I made a special trip to go all the way here from home (about 50 miles each way) just to get some specific wines I couldn't find anywhere else in the state of New Jersey, according to wine-searcher.com. As a side note, if there in a particular wine you're looking for, I found that site to be pretty reliable. 15% off on wines ending in '9' if you get a case, but not all the wines have to end in a 9. (ie. You can get 11 bottles ending in '8' and only one ending in 9 and you'll get 15% off the one ending in 9). read more

I cannot say enough about Alex at Central Liquors. He has always been good for suggestions, but when I needed help choosing the liquor for my son's wedding, he went above and beyond.His choices were excellent, he really listened to what I was trying to do and made it happen. Brilliant suggestion for the signature champagne cocktail for the toast. He made a big responsibility for me a big success. I thought I knew a lot about champagne and what I wanted in wine, but his picks were better and I am glad I listened to him. read more

This place is just THE BEST. I almost dont want to leave a review because I dont want it becoming even more difficult to find the rare bottles that they ALWAYS seem to have! But alas, these are great, honest people, that are happy to talk to you about whatever you are looking for. All the employees are genuinely in a good mood, the pricing is very fair, and the place has a real homey feel to it. Customer for life. Thank you! read more

Went comparing with other retailers in the area and Central's "sale" prices are actually the real prices you get from the distributors. What scam artists! So now not only are they rude to customers who purchase investment grade wines but they rip you off too. read more

Nice selection of wines at different price points. Worth a visit to see what they have.

We journeyed here in hot pursuit of a gorgeous Barolo that Mr. M had enjoyed at Dante & Luigi's. This was no accidental tour, as our internet search led us to Central and its exquisite collection of wines. We were impressed by, among other things, the on-line listing of highly-rated wines by price point. That user-friendly interface led us to purchase a mixed case of wines rated 91 or better and under $15/bottle. We also were impressed by Central's willingness to set aside bottles (or cases) of vino, truly excellent prices and discounts on mixed cases. The sales associates were extraordinarily knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Central Wine Merchants is a awesome store for wine enthusiasts. The selection and prices of wine cannot be beat and often times has a few gems / hard-to-find bottles. Ordering online is easy and can pick-up at your convenience. Easy location to find. Definitely recommend stopping by to view their offerings. Cheers! read more

A really great store. Impressive selection of spirits, wine and beer. All ranges of products - budget, medium, high end. Special limited edition stuff too (I bought a tequila no longer produced). Hard to even find Redbreast 27 year Irish Whiskey in a store. Nice craft beer selection, but also good European beers. The owner/manager knows what they're doing! Only reason it was not 5 stars for me was that I was looking for a brand I didn't see and I would have loved if the prices were a little better (of course, but they are super fair). read more

They have the best wine merchants, wine, and wine deals/values! If you need to find a wine to pair with food come here. If you need to find a wine to impress you boss this is the place. If you know what you like and want to try something different and new you will discover it here. Shawn is one of the wine merchants and remembers everything he has tasted. He can find what you like. They have fun tasting events and also great value wines. They can find you a highly rated type of wine at the best price because I think they make big purchases with smaller and genuine wineries around the world. Even though it might seem far away it is the only place I get wine and I live in East Brunswick. read more

OMG! SUPERIOR Customer Service ! Totally OUTSTANDING ! Selection and Delivery are AMAZING ! They Special Order with a smile ! The ONLY place to purchase all wines in all selections in all price points ! WOW ! A+++++ read more

This is an excellent liquor and wine store. The selection is huge and the folks working there are always willing to help you find something. The wine section of the store has an amazing selection at great prices. They have weekly online specials that I have been enjoying for some time now. Lately there have been a number of Spanish wines as weekly specials. I have enjoyed trying these wines (I am normally a California red fan). The specials have enabled me to grab a bottle or two at some good prices to see what I enjoy and expand my wine horizons. If you are looking for a great liquor store, knowledgeable people, and good prices, this is the place for you. read more

I purchased 9 bottles of an expensive pinot noir from a competitor of Central Liquors. At the same time I purchased a case of the same wine from Central. The wine was bad. Probably not stored properly by the distributor. The competitor of Central apologized, emailed a return label and gave a complete refund. Not so with Central. They blamed the weather and pointed to the fact that I checked the ship it now box with the caveat of I'm not worried about the weather. They refused to take the wine back. They also refused to listen to my logic. They also hung up on me even though I wasn't argumentative. The 9 bottles and the case were shipped at the same time. The weather was not hot and impossible for the wine to spoil so badly so quickly. I sent a letter to the president, Stephen Little, in which I explained the rude hang up. I did not receive a response. Am I surprised? Central Liquors is not an honorable merchant. read more

a little more pricey than little brothers but still a much better store. the staff is extremely helpful. the two male managers always have excellent suggestions. the older gentleman always has a good suggestion on bourbon while the younger one always has a great suggestion for beer. this is the place to go if youre not positive on what you want to get and you need a few suggestions. read more
