Great selection with consistently great prices on both wine and spirits. Also you can get a reliable recommendation on your wine purchase from the knowledgeable owners who can help you choose just the right bottle whether for your own enjoyment or if you are buying as a gift. Relaxed atmosphere for a stress free shopping experience. read more

Despite competitive prices, I won't return. Owners and staff do not value loyal customers. Recently, brought in 3 bottles of wine that had been purchased one week earlier, that had gone bad. I have spent thousands of dollars in the store over 20 years. Gave me a hard time---questioned the veracity of my claim. I suspect owners do not care but I'll shop elsewhere. read more

Gary is always there to shoot the shit about sports reminds me of old times when you could have a conversation, pricea are great except for the food food !! is good but I keep forgetting you can't get a sub for under $10 anywhere !!!! girls at counter are always friendly read more

We dropped into Gary's to pickup something for lunch & decided to purchase a chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce & tomato. It was delicious. Nice chunky pieces of chicken in a mild mayonnaise dressing I would highly recommend it read more

Whenever I'm in Boston I plan to visit Gary at his store. Gary's Liquors opened it's doors in 1942, one of Boston's oldest and largest retailers of fine wine, spirits, and beer, and the crazy thing is they also have a Deli in the store. Great staff, very knowledgeable and they share some great finds. The inside isn't very big, but well organized and well lit. I love the rare allocation releases'. On this special release day we got to the store around 45 minutes before it opened. Gary walked down the line and gave everyone a free Buffalo Trace nip, that was so amazing. I was with my son and son-in-law, all 3 of us scored a rare Weller Full Proof. I can't find the Weller 107 anywhere in the state of Arizona, never mind this beauty. The line outside was well over a hundred deep, this is a testament to good business sense and customer satisfaction. They are located in a plaza with plenty of parking and easy access. read more

Great food. Amazing customer service. Cheapest prices and great selection of liquor. Favorite liquor store by far.

Frequent patron but no longer will be a customer of the deli.The corn beef was frozen and inedible. I phoned the deli counter to complain and the clerk stated he placed the meat in the freezer the night before and that was all he had to serve. Never offered a refund or exchange. read more

Gary's has always been great! Good selection and really friendly staff. What more can I say. It's just great.

I went to Gary's liquor store yesterday with a friend. Night before my friend purchased a bottle of Raspberry Stolie Vodka. On her way home she must have dropped the bottle of vodka. Seal was still in tact not opened at all. I find it hard to believe that Gary would not reimburse my friend. It was about 25.00. My friend has been going to Gary's for years and he couldn't extend a courtesy to her. Gary actually had an attitude during their discussion. I told my friend let's go because I could see that Gary was not only adamant but arrogant. I will not ever go back there again. Also I will tell my friends I told to shop at Gary's how he acted and let them make their decision. Before today I liked going to Gary's and told many of my friends about Gary's. But once I explain what transpired I'm sure they will feel different. It's really mind boggling because my friend and I are working class people with decent jobs. Initially, I was going to replace it right then but my friend felt because the top of the bottle was sealed they would honor her purchase which she called immediately after it happened. Sometimes we can get so hung up on greed and selfishness not looking at the bigger picture which would be considering customers, compassion. Our business depends on doing good to others, our customers. Because we will always get it back when we do good for others. I am very surprised at the attitude he displayed. It really wasn't about the money with us we both had money to buy whatever we want. I thought you would extend a simple courtesy. read more

I'm kinda torn because the majority of the staff is great, very helpful, and provides tremendous service with a smile ! My issue is the arrogant, rude , condescending family that runs the place. They sit at a register all day that they keep closed and do not greet any customer who walks by. Even when the place is busy, they don't get up to help out. if you want to see lousy , terrible service by the people who should give the best service, go to Gary's. looking to be ignored, treated poorly, and get zero customer service from owners? Gary's is for you .... read more

I can only tell all of you how wonderful the sandwiches and salads are! They make my day when I have them for dinner or lunch. The sandwiches are very filling. The chicken Caesar salad is so filling that it's 3 meals worth of food for me! I was told from near and far people shops for alcoholic beverages there due to the great prices! I see many shoppers go there for their lunches. Please try it out! read more

It's been 4 or 5 years since I shopped here but I wanted to let Gary Parks know I clearly remember his rude response to my request. Not sure if he has passed, if so rest in peace Gary. read more

I feel very lucky to live within walking distance of Gary's. They have the best liquor prices around, even compared to going to New Hampshire. The deli is a hidden gem! Their chicken liver is by far some of the best I have ever had. My family always asks for me to bring a container when I visit. Deli can definitely get busy at lunch time, but I usually just call in an order and the time quoted is generally accurate. Grocery items available also make an impromptu wine and cheese night easy. Recommend following them on instagram as they will post special events and deli specials. I was recently able to get a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue engraved for free during one of their special events. read more

Great sandwiches, awesome proportions, special's change frequently Lobster rolls were extremely tasty, no fillers Rueben sandwich was great with a good amount of corn-beef read more

Buffalo chicken buffalo mac & cheese!! OUTSTANDING! Also grabbed a big chicken and vegetable soup! Even n a 93* day my husband request i get the soup !!! So soup for him today! Can't wait to see what's in menu for tomorrow read more

They have a deli in the back of the store that has the best meatball subs. I usuall get teh small that has three nice size meatballs. The store has plenty of parking so thta s never an issue. The price is right, 6.99 for a small. They get two thumbs up. read more

Pastrami was cold and there was more mustard than meat...literally! Also, the sub wasn't cut. Worst lunch sandwich I've gotten in my life. read more

I got the fried chicken plate it was $12+ for two soggy old chicken legs and some rice. I ate one of the chicken legs and there was coagulated blood that came pouring out. Probably not cooked. The guy who works behind the counter has spit flying out of his mouth every time he talks and it goes all over everything. No masks no safety practice. I'll never eat their again. It makes me sick and I think I might get food poisoning from the raw chicken they served me. Don't go here please read more

Wow I'm so glad that I discovered this place! Prices are cheap, cheap, cheap and they have a huge selection of beer, liquor, and wine and even a deli inside. I used to get most of my alcohol from Costco or Blanchard's, but I'll be coming here more often now. Each aisle has at least a few selections of beer/liquor that's on sale for a ridiculously low price. Last time I was here, I bought a huge bottle of Ozeki Japanese Sake for only $10 and it tasted great and was super smooth. Check this place out and you won't be disappointed! read more

Best deals in town. Wine selection is perfection. I drive over 30 mins just to get here. Don't miss the deals at Gary's!

They have any kind of alcohol you need and can get it if they don't have it. They are locally owner, their prices are excellent and they are very helpful. read more

I clearly do not understand comments about rude owners. Everyone has always been so helpful and accommodating. Perhaps walking in with a smile and a polite "can you help me?" will work for you as it has for me! read more

Just bought clam chowder to go. $5.95 superb. Bought fried clams ( many) $12.95 excellent. I'll be back at their lunch/deli counter soon read more

This is the best liquor store around! They have a huge variety, great prices and very helpful staff! I had a nice visit this afternoon where I asked the owner or manager what his thoughts were on saving money and buying a lesser known brand? He was really honest and said that if I was mixing it that it didn't matter what brand. He could have taken advantage of me and encouraged me to buy the well known brand for TWICE the price, but he didn't. I have enormous respect for that! read more

My favorite liquor store in the region. Wide selection of distilled spirits, and wine and beer, but what makes this place stand out is a knowledgeable and friendly proprietor. And it's wonderful to see a family-owned business growing through the generations. read more

There are some stores that offer little to no customer service that I go to anyway. Then, there are stores like Gary's Liquor that go out of their way to be rude and make customers feel unwelcome. From the moment you walk in, most workers appear to be busy stocking and offering no help to customers. The store is not laid out that well and it is almost impossible to flag someone down. When you do find someone, they are either annoyed that they are being asked for help or they are completely incompetent on the products offered. In fact, I had an employee physically try to push me out of the way as I was looking for help. You'll fine No customer service provided whatsoever and extremely aggressive employees. The last interaction is with the checkout employees. You will find them to be extremely upset and unhappy to be there. Maybe the rudeness of this place not only impacts customers, but extends to employees as well. Horrible experience for a very simple purchase. This place needs to get it together and the staff should learn some basic manners (e.g. don't try to physically push customers out of your way) . I definitely will not be making my weekly wine purchases here and will pass this on to all family and friends that live in the area. read more

Prices can't be beat for liquor. Vodka and whiskey are significantly cheaper than all other stores in the Boston area - like "fell off the truck" cheaper. Beer prices are competitive with all other stores I've been to, and wine is as well, probably more so. I've got friends in Providence, RI that make it a point to stop here when they're in the area, that's how good this place is. read more

Excellent liquor store and deli. Great prices and great sandwiches. So nice to have a one stop shop! read more

Damn did we luck out when I stumbled (ha....) upon this alcohol merchant. Having this place within walking distance for all my boozy desires. Yes desires, because they not only have a great beer selection, liquor, wine, champ, a massive beer cooler - but they also have a deli and the purveyor of choice is Boar's Head. Get you some. They also have little tiny signs that tell you Beer Advocates' rating of stellar brews, and same goes for wine and liquor. And if you are stumped, or need suggestion the staff is top notch. Prices are phenomenal. I'll just leave it at that. If you live in the area, check it out and be converted. read more

When I die, I'm gonna ask if I can make a pit-stop at Gary's Liquors before I go meet baby jesus so I can stock up for eternity. Seriously tho, this place has everything and I mean EVERYTHING for wicked cheap. Wine prices are the best in town, and there selection is to die for. Also, there hard liquor prices are usually pretty good. read more

I spent some time comparing liquor and wine in the area. Between Blanchards, Macy's, Costco, and Gary's, Gary's won for best price on everything. Not to mention they have some great hard to find wine and champagne labels. This is the liquor store I'll go to first before anywhere else and I suggest you do too. What my ratings mean: 1 star: Horrible. I'm annoyed I wasted my time and/or money here. 2 star: Not bad but nothing special. A decent place if you can't find something else. I'd equate this to something like McDonald's. 3 star: I enjoyed my experience there and would go back to try or do more things there. 4 star: I loved it and would be excited to go back. I'd also recommend it to a friend. 5 star: A real gem of a place. A must on anyone's list. read more

Gary's almost never ceases to make me happy, should a liquor store bring this much bliss? Probably not. Does Gary's have the finest, and the most complete beer inventory in the area? No, I don't think so. Is the staff always super-happy awesome and willing to help? NAH! BUT, here's what they do have: 1. Glen Garioch 8 yr scotch for 18.99 - cheaper than Dewar's 2. 2 for $9.99 wine selection that is actually really worth taking a look at 3. ample parking 4. some rarer beers that I haven't seen at other area stores including some crazy ciders and one of my all time favorite Australian ales, Coopers 5. all around stand up prices So, if you find yourself in West Roxbury on the VFW Parkway for some reason and have a hankering for a trip to a liquor store, check out Gary's. read more

Best liquor store in Boston! Best selection, knowledgeable and courteous staff, BEST PRICES. read more

Great Prices and a huge selection. I love their small batch gin and small batch bourbon section. I first discovered Gary's around the holiday which came in handy for Christmas Shopping. I have been a loyal customer ever since. read more

I will make the trip to Gary's to stock up. They have a great selection of wines and their prices are great. I've bought champagne in there for $35 that goes for $40-$60 other places. One time I wanted to get my BF the special Cuervo tequila that comes in a handpainted box for Christmas that was $100 everywhere else. Gary's had it for $80, but they were out of it. I emailed them and Gary emailed me back right away, held one aside for me when the new order came in, gave it to me for the sale price of $80, and told me when I could pick it up. That's what I call great customer service. When my BF and I go to other places, it seems we are always making a statement about some bottle that sounds like, "Are you kidding, it's only $X at Gary's." So, I guess we use Gary's as the benchmark. It's a little crowded, but worth repeating "excuse me" to get the selection and the price. It might not be worth it to save a few bucks on a bottle of wine, but definitely worth the trip to stock up and I prefer to give them my money. read more

This spot sits in a nice shopping center off VFW Parkway in a nice section of Chestnut Hill/West Roxbury. They recently added a deli inside the place but I scratch my head and wonder why. It looks strange to have this new deli inside the entrance of a liquor store. I never see that much traffice at the deli either. The store is average size but is loaded with all sorts of wine and beer and liquor. It is a very odd setup though and you almost find yourself walking around a maze of crates and boxes and shelves. The wine selection is okay but I usually look for mostly beer when I go to a liquor store. From the beer point of view, this place does not have that good a selection. Yes they have the norm, domestics and some micro brews and speciliaties, but they don't really carry the out of the ordinary beers. I look for seasonal Sam Adams or Harpoon or even Longtrail or Seadog and they just are nowhere to be found in this place. As spread out and cluttered as it is here, you would think they would have a great beer selection. There is one small shelf area of speciality beers that I have never heard of. I would have a hard time recommending this place to anyone. read more

There's just not ABC Liquor or Party Source in Boston, so what is a lush like me to do? Hop scotch from one place and one state to the other looking for the selection and prices. UNTIL I found this place. I think I could live with Gary's and Macy's and make out okay. Yeah, I think so. Great selection and prices, hard to say it's the best on everything all the time but it hits it well on the important stuff and that's all you can hope for. Will be relieving them of some great premium liquor and wine bottles in the near future! read more

I typically only write reviews for restaurants and not stores, but had to write a review for Gary's. The selection at Gary's is amazing and well organized. Easy to go in and out or really explore what you most desire before you get tipsy. Their prices cannot be beat either. I always find the cheapest price here for any type of alcohol. Also their staff are pretty comical. I find myself talking to them most times I'm there and they're really nice. read more

I'm new to the area, so have been checking ALL the beer prices in Dedham, Norwood, and West Roxbury--not wasting time closer to the city. Gary's is the best for selection and prices--hands down! They also have a little deli in there and I had a kicking pastrami sammich! read more
