There was a lot to choose from! I went in looking for beer... i can't it with beer soda and seltzer! They had some good deals going on... but you definitely have to check beef cause some stuff is not... The counter staff tried to be helpful, showed me some different products and was very friendly. If you want a specialty item, try here... they had many, many choices in beers and soda that were off the beaten path... my choices were mundane though... read more

If you buy Coke products here be careful to check the dates on the bottles. On a recent visit I found Coke products on display that were dated August 2025. Sometimes there are 8 bottles together, sometimes there are a few mixed in with the newer stock. Let the buyer beware. I only go here when the 2 liter caffeine free isn't on sale at Tops or Dashes. read more

I've been to several of their locations and always have similar experiences. Staff is always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Check out is always simple. I always find what I'm looking for and typically walk out with something new (and on sale). read more

First & last time here. They may have a big selection of alcohol, but it is way too expensive. $11.99 for an 8 pack of Bud Light !! That's insane ! The staff was not very knowledgeable about what they carry & what they don't, which is ridiculous. It was not very clean inside & the parking lot is too small. I will stick to Tops & 7-Eleven for beer read more

Lots of variety & local brews. Great sale prices & staff was helpful & friendly. We found some good deals to take home

They refused to let me in because I didn't have a mask on. Yet up until that day everything I've gone in which was often, none of the workers wore masks. Losing my business won't affect them, I would have carried on my rant with them longer had my wife not been there. Avoid at all costs. read more

I was heading from Suzy Q's BBQ Shack towards home, and I was looking for a bottle of Southern Tier's Goat Boy. I had also been wanting to check out Consumer's, as they run ads and seem to have a pretty good selection. This is a small little beer store, and at the time I showed it, I was the only person there. It wasn't really that late at night, but the way the store looked, I thought that perhaps they were closing early. The staff joked that they were, but then assured me that they were indeed open. There are a lot of large size beers, a lot of 6 packs, but I am actually not sure if there was a selection that was really much more varied than Wegmans beer section. And they don't have mix-and-match six packs, which is my single most favorite thing about Wegmans. That being said, the staff were friendly, and they have growler fills, which is a good thing for heavier beer drinkers. I'd give them a try again. read more

Consumer's Beverages - a variety of beverages - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The manager Steve was very helpful! I came in earlier in the day and decided I would try something new so I purchased the 1911 watermelon mint 4 pack. I got home and opened one up, immediately it had a terrible smell of burning rubber or sulfate. I'm not a picky person when it comes to drinks but I couldn't stomach this one. I called the store and asked about an exchange or something along the lines of that and the manager said to come in and he would take a look and possibly do something for me (they usually don't take returns with alcohol) understandably. He helped me find a better drink and I had no hassle or problems. read more

I've used this quote before in reviews and I'm not too proud to use it again: "Son, never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers." -James Crumley If you don't know Consumer's, you probably pay too much money for beer at a grocery store. This store is organized great; coolers all around and shelves of craft product in the middle. I'm a simple man -- all I need on Buffalo evening is a bottle of Yuengling or PBR and I'm a happy camper. Occasionally however, I do enjoy some craft product. This store has a pretty good selection of growler fills, as well. I say pretty good, because I would love some more local variety. Hamburg Brewery is putting out some great product these days (Sweet Tang, anyone?) and HBurg is a haul from VoK. Other than that -- this store is a solid shopping experience. read more

Gotta love Consumers. We're frequent visitors to the store and can attest they do rotate inventory regularly. They have big packs of the common American beers as well as a wide selection of domestic craft beer. If you need your growler refilled they do offer a dozen or so tap options. You can also bring back empties and cash out- or treat yaself to something. Conveniently there is also some pop and snacks available for purchase as well as lotto tickets. read more

Consumer's is a great stop for game day. They've got plenty of options for standard beer and soda. They carry all the major brands. They've also jumped on the growler bandwagon and offer taps to fill bottles with craft brews. Their selection of bottled and canned craft beers is great. I wish they offered more specialty soda options, but they're pretty limited and the prices are high. They don't have all of what I would consider standard options. In general their pricing is confusing. You can get a good deal on your favorite mainstream cola or fizzy yellow beer any day of the week, but some craft beers and sodas sell for substantially more than you'd expect. One 12 pack my friend enjoys is $7 cheaper at the local convenient store! They are the one stop shop if you need to load up on mainstream beer and soda for a party. Beyond that their variety may be good, but check the pricing. Cheers! read more

Nice little beer store that is located in an unsuspecting location. Pretty convenient for me though, since I'm working right down the road from this particular location. A small parking lot that may pose a tiny bit cumbersome, but definitely easy to manage. You enter into an immediate barrage of beers. Craft, domestic, BMC, etc, they're all here. You'll find your craft staples like Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, Goose Island, Brooklyn, Southern Tier, Stone, etc, but you also get the other ones such as Firestone Walker, Ballast Point, North Coast, Blue Point, Bear Republic, Ithaca, etc. There is a wall of coolers where you can buy them cold or if you want to pick them off the shelf that's cool too. There is a growler fill station with at least 6 taps, all craft goodness. Prices are fairly reasonable compared with other places. They also get some seasonal and limited releases. The guy I talked with today was very friendly and helpful. I am a fan. Will be returning soon! read more

Never had a issue returning bottles. Fast, convention, very polite. Their prices are about average I deff choose this location for Bootle return because I can't stand bottle MACHINE'S!!! Get my hands and fingers all gross like need n I don't drink beer shows how often the clean their machines at Tops! read more

I don't understand how Coke products went from $0.99 -$1.39 up to $2.19 in a week while Pepsi products are still at $1.25. Explain please.

This is a okay beer store. Each time I visit they rarely keep in stock the various Chimay Beer selections and St. Bearndus APT 12 in the pint or 4 pack. Overall I would recommend this store. read more

This is my go to place for brews of many kinds. With the new world of beer tour I go there to get my beer unless It's totally out of the way of my destination. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable folks make it a great experience. read more

Good chain of beer and beverage stores. You still do need to compare around prices and watch for how fresh items are. Buy seasonal releases if possible! read more
