    the front of a restaurant

    How can a package store be 5 stars, this one can just because of the excellent customer service they provide, without condescension, and without a sales push either, just right in their wine department. The store is large and have a great selection, however the wine service is what sets them apart. Many years ago they recommended what is now one of my favorite white Pinot Grigio, and today as I entered looking for a specific wine I knew that A I would find it there and B the gentleman on the floor would help me, and this was exactly what happened. If I lived nearby it would be my go to. I've visited another store closer to my home that is touted and wins awards for their wine selection and it doesn't compare to this store at all, also they have a chain store beat on their customer service hands down.

    Super nice and large store. They have a wide variety of basically everything alcohol related here that you would ever need or want. Stopped in here last week on the way home from dinner, just to browse. Too bad we missed a tasting by a half an hour. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They used to carry cheeses near the wine section, but I think they did away with that. I heard any liquor store isn't allowed to sell food related items (that can potentially mask the smell of alcohol)... I'd say this is probably the best package store for miles.

    5 stars for letting me use their bathroom after sitting in traffic on 95! I truly came here because they had just got a shipment of Kent Fall's Shower Beer & I was passing through from NYC on my way to RI but I've been here before & love the selection. They had at least 3 tastings going on that day. The brewer from Charter Oak was pouring samples so I tried some but passed on the wine & booze. Large selection of craft beer & a helpful staff. Not overwhelming but lots to look at. I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint anyone looking for craft beer hence the 5 starts!

    Within the last year, South Shore has really picked up their pace on the whole Craft Beer scene,…read morewhich is primarily what we go in for. They have a section just inside the door of beers to match the season/new beers they just got in as well as same decently priced wines. If we go in for wine, it's just a grab and go kind of thing. We aren't wine connoisseurs so don't pay much attention to the ratings and what not. We grab a middle of the road priced wine and head out. We sometimes frequent the liquor area, but that's not a common beverage in our household so it's not often. I have done some rebates on vodkas and tequilas and their selection is just fine for our needs. Their beer selection has more than doubled in size over the last few months and are now offering many more craft beers and unique beers that most places are not. Amity used to be the "go to" for the more uncommon beers and now this place has them right in our backyard. Sometimes the staff can be helpful looking for a certain beer, but usually they are not. The one guy that used to do the ordering for the beer I don't think works there anymore and he was a huge help. We use the bottle return area which is what you would expect for a bottle return...the room is kind of grimy and gross and your feet stick to the floor...but I usually make my husband do this so I don't have to - the money's going to go to beer that he wants anyway so make him work for it. There are a few different (usually) females working the register and I can say that the two younger ones are the most unfriendly ones around. We go in there often and not even a "hi, how have you been doing"..they're set on auto and that's all they know...they even card us (almost 29 years old) every time. You clearly recognize us..and even if you HAVE to card everyone, at least acknowledge that we're not complete strangers. Even if we act OVERLY friendly, not even a smile is cracked. That's rude and annoying. To be perfectly honest, the selection at Coastal in Branford is a little better than South Shore, but being as this is literally a minute from our house it's perfectly stocked for our needs.

    New owners but COVID tape arrows still on floor.Much more easy to walk around.Prices seem to be up…read morea bit more.Better hours.

    This place deserves zero stars. You walk in and won't be acknowledged. They won't offer help and…read morewill watch you like you're a criminal. Lady behind the counter kept leaning over as I walked down the aisle watching me as if I were gonna steal something. As a Hispanic male , I've never felt so discriminated in my life. I've had my share of racist people but these people really made it clear of who and what they are. Five workers in there and not one person greeted me or asked if I needed any help with anything. If you're gonna stand there and watch potential customers , don't make it so obvious next time. First time there and definitely my last. Many other places where my money is welcomed !!!

    North Haven Residents Hold On To Your Wallets!!!!…read more OK selection BUT this store likes to price gouge. Sam Adams Utopias was $20 higher than EVERYONE ELSE because, "I get less of them". (I found a shop who got one bottle and charged the same as everyone else.) Pappy Van Winkle Lot B has an MSRP of $69.99. I get it is rare, I would expect a decent markup, but when you are asking $700, that is a bit outrageous. If you check their website you can see the MSRP. When questioned about the exorbitant prices, the owner said he prices bottles on how many he gets, not what the price should be. There are other stores in the area with much better selection and better prices.
