This is such a great little shop. The staff is kind, and the selection is great. They have a lot of really nice wines that are affordably priced. Their spirits selection is also outstanding. They don't carry the normal "liquor store crap", and for that I'm so thankful. The fact that they have a 50ml bottle of El Dorado 15 Year in one of their buckets for small bottles, is a dead give away that this place is wise... and awesome. I don't live in the neighborhood, but I frequent Red Hook enough to stop by and try a new bottle of something. And the *something* is always fantastic. read more

Dry Dock is still my go to place for all things wines & spirits after all these years. The staff is always very helpful and the selection uniquely interesting. The assortment is varied - local - small batch and more. I have gotten so many off-the-beaten-path recommendations for gifts over the years that have been big hits - especially with some clients (always a plus ;). A recent recommendation when looking for an Organic wine was from their French salesperson Theo. It was a wine from a winery in the South of France :) - Maris - was a huge hit for a recent dinner party / hostess gift. OMG - not only was the wine beyond spectacular, but he also told me the backstory of the winemaker - which was a nice touch at the dinner table!! In the extremely transactional world we find ourselves in today, it's always nice to shop with small businesses like DryDock who are passionate about what they do and share that passion with their clients. And if you happen to have a four legged furry family member they always have treats !! The devil is in the details!! read more

A friend of mine told me I had to checkout the massive supermarket Fairway on the dock in Red Hook so I ventured down that way. As I was driving on Van Brunt, I noticed a cute little wine store on the corner that I figured I'd pop in on my way back. Btw, Fairway was awesome but that's a whole another story. I pulled up and parked on the quaint looking brick street off Van Brunt and walked up to the corner wine shop. I was greeted by the owners Ron and Mary who were eating dinner and they offered me as well as the other patrons a taste of a bottle they just opened that they were having with dinner. Talk about smart on their part because that's all it took for me to purchase a bottle. I was sold. It was a nice 2008 red Chilean wine made from the carmenere grape named Natura. It was only $13 too. The store itself is pretty small, but homey feeling, clean and brand new. They have only been open for 4 months. They have a wide selection of wines $12 and under towards the back and the owners were very friendly and informative. They also have a decent selection of liquor as well. They handed me a listing of their upcoming wine tastings which I definitely want to check out. Next time you're in Red Hook stop by and say hi to Ron and Mary and bring your friends. It's a cool little spot if you're into checking out different wines. read more

All things considered, Red Hook is a pretty small neighborhood. If you live here, you get to know all the businesses. Dry Dock opened around the same time as another wine shop, just a few blocks away. Even though I live the same distance from each, I still haven't set foot in the other store. Dry Dock is doing too much right. The selection is great, the staff is as friendly as they are knowledgeable, and they have frequent tastings. Best of all, if you go in as an inexperienced customer, they treat it as an opportunity to share with you something they really love. Dry Dock is what a great neighborhood wine/spirit shop should be! read more

I just moved to Red Hook, and Dry Dock is one of my favorite spots in my new neighborhood. I love stopping by on the weekend on my way to Fairway or dropping in after work to pick up something to drink with dinner. The staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, and their recommendations are helpful to novice wine drinkers like me. The shop holds several tastings a week, which is a nice way to discover new favorites. The wine selection is unintimidating and affordable, but there are appear to be plenty of higher end options, too. One of my favorite things about the shop is its well-curated spirits selection. They have the basics, but also more interesting brands for those who want to go beyond Gordon's and Jack Daniel's. Dry Dock is a wonderful place to browse, chat, and enjoy the hospitality, knowing that you'll leave with something you'll enjoy. read more

My favorite liquor store in Brooklyn. Stumbled onto their Plantation rum tasting while walking around Red Hook with my dad. We both loved the store and the rum. I wish it was closer to my apartment. Staff is personal and knowledgeable, and the prices are good, but it isn't pretentious. Liquor choices are well-curated. read more

Great quality in Wines and Spirits with an amazing knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended. Incredible selection Brooklyn based Wines and Liquors. Bravo!!! read more

Dry Dock is my favorite liquor store in Brooklyn. I started going there when they opened and I lived down the street and still only go there for my liquor and wine needs even though I now live in Kensington. Super friendly and very knowledgeable staff - Dry Dock plain and simple just plain rules. read more

Very small wine shop, but well curated, with some additional fun spirits mixed in. Generally low to mid range pricing on table wine, and then some shelves that look to be cheaper bottles in the back. The staff is very nice, and they have weekly tastings. It's always fun to swing by and see what's happening there. read more

Great selection of whiskey and wine. They even have a bargain section in the back (not labeled as such!) where you can pick up some cheaper wines. They also have sampler bottles of whiskey (aka nips), which one could use to throw into their soda and walk around Red Hook drinking in the street. Not saying I did that, but *one* could. Anyway, their whiskey prices are about $5 more expensive than you would be able to get elsewhere in Brooklyn, but I guess it goes with the territory of less foot traffic. Nice guys working there though. read more

Love their cotes du rhone! Great selection, lovely wine-tastings, and there's always someone friendly to give you good recommendations...

A very friendly and welcoming neighbourbood wine store. They often have free wine tasting, the staff are so helpful and kind, and will help you choose from a great range of products. They even have treats and water for your dog! read more

Such A good Selection Of spirits and Wine for poor and near poor. Lots of tastings. read more

The best booze store of all times. OF ALL TIMES. The store feels very cozy, like a living room but nicer and with more pretty liquor bottles. The counter staff are super sweet and always make great recommendations for every situation. (My friends want margaritas..? Under 10 bucks..? I'm going to this weird house party that seems kind of classy but not really..?) Go here now and give the lovely Miss Mary a squeeze for me! read more

A hidden charm! Literally found this place by accident and boy was I happy. Charming and well-informed staff who helped me pick out several bottles of wine. They definitely put the U in customer service! very impressed with this group they seem very passionate about their collections, I can't wait to stop by again, hopefully during a tasting! :) read more

I Love Dry Dock! After we lost LeNell's, Red Hook was in serious need of a good wine/liquor store. Now we have two specialty wine stores, but I only shop at Dry Dock because they have the best selection of interesting wines, and a decent selection of bourbons, scotch, gin, etc. They host a lot of tastings and the staff is always ready to make a recommendation to you if you want to try something new. Another bonus: the owners are local residents and I always try to support locally owned businesses. This place is a WIN. read more

Knowledgeable staff and very helpful. Large whiskey/bourbon collection and even let me try out a few that they have. They also carry hard to find orange wine which I've look all over for. Will stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

really good store to have on your email list! they have really good e-marketing of their products. they also let you know of upcoming tastings at the store, in which you should try to make atleast once. very very reasonable prices that CANNOT be turned downed or disputed. nice and personable staff! very attractive looking store as well! check it out, especially if you are in the redhook part of brooklyn read more

Mary and her shop are gems. The thoughtful specific selection makes Dry Docks a destination wine shop for me. If you want an opportunity to have a good wine education start going through the shop bottle by bottle. You'll be able to keep up with the best of them at your next dinner party. read more

I love this place! I live in the adjacent neighborhood and stop here when I can even though there are two liquor stores in waking distance from my apartment. They have a great (and I think somewhat more unique) selection of wines and spirits with good price ranges. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable; just ask and they are more than happy to give recommendations to fit your tastes. I've come to trust their recs when wanting to try something new - and trust is the most important part right? I've had them tell me not to get a certain bottle when looking for something as a gift because "you can get that anywhere." Regular tastings in the back at the end of every week. read more

Wandered into Dry Dock Wine & Spirits today for the first time and cannot begin to express how much I really enjoyed my visit. The wonderfully knowledgeable owner helped me find exactly what I was looking for, the rum and rye selection is great AND they stock Peychaud's!!! I am totally ready to make this my one and only stop for spirits from here on out. read more

Even though I live a good 20 minute drive away from Dry Dock Wine, my boyfriend and I never hesitate to make a visit whenever we're in the area. We've found ourselves in this charming establishment a good handful of times this past year.The staff is always incredibly helpful and friendly, and there is usually a spirits or wine tasting that we participate in. read more

Great liquor store. The woman working was very friendly and knew a ton about the assorted booze. Very nice selection. The prices are a drop high but not too bad. Worth it to buy from people who know about what they are selling. read more

Cute wine store in Red Hook, but I noticed that bottles range on the more expensive side. I couldn't find anything less than $14. However, I did find a Malbec from France, scooped it up, and my boyfriend and I were off to eat some wonderful French food. It was a perfect find! read more

While Visiting my niece over Christmas I shopped Christmas Eve for wine and spirits. The shop clerk recommended three bottles of wine; we chose two of her recommendations and selected the third bottle on the creative label art on the bottle alone. The two bottles of Pinot noir recommended by the store were horrible, undrinkable bottles of vinegar. Weird wine selection and bad advice. Drink up Red Hook!! read more

I cannot buy any wine or spirits without Elana, who works here. She is has great suggestions for any kind of occassion! Go in and ask for her, and you won't be disappointed! read more

My absolute fave liquor store in brooklyn. Great variety of tastings and amazing recommendations . Wonderful knowledgeable staff and an adorable shop dog to boot !! Definitely worth a visit. read more

They're back! In their original location. Our last trip ended with my husband asking, "Why would we ever go anyplace else for liquor?" The owners are knowledgeable, hilarious, and genuinely warm. When I said that I like a good hot toddy, it earned me a free taste of toddy-perfect rye. Love these guys. read more

I have been working with Elana for years, and she is the best. You just tell her want you're doing, what you want, and she'll come up with some amazing suggestions for you. Dry Dock has a great selection at various price points, and if you need something specific, they'll even order it for you. If your order is big enough they'll deliver. These guys love wine, and it shows. read more

I've only been buying wine and booze seriously in New York for 50+ years, going back to when Sherry and M.Lehmann were separate operations and Macy's 34th St. had one of the best wine stores in the city. I wandered into Drydock the other day out of curiosity and my heart and gullet were instantly won over. This is an ideal wine and spirits store! Accessible, smart, great selection, good prices, terrific people. read more

Great liquor store, amazing selection, great wine tasting and the owners are always super nice and helpful. My favorite liquor store in Red Hook. read more

Great selection and staff is so friendly and knowledgable. I have never gotten a bad recommendation. Love the dog too!

After getting a business card for Dry Dock from Red Hook Lobster Pound, I decided to check it out while I was waiting for my food - and I'm so happy I did. I told them what I was having for dinner and a woman named Mary, who also owns the joint, helped me pick out a crispy sauvignon blanc to go with lobster. I'm happy I stopped by and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Red Hook. read more
