I had a pool party to go to this weekend, and I had to pick up some drinks for it. I went to two…read morepackage stores and both were closed, then I stopped by Tilted Bottles package store, it was open and I finally got what I needed. This is a somewhat of a newer store, they're conveniently located in West Hartford Center, with their own parking lot at the front and the back of the store. The store has a nice layout, with plenty of wine categorized by red, white and rose. There is a good amount of international wines to choose from. I didn't look too much at the wine, I was shopping for hard seltzer. They have plenty of beers from local breweries. Beers can be purchased as a typical package, or you can customize by getting single cans or bottles and creating your own pack. You can find hard liquors, spirits and also, champagne at Tilted Bottles. They have a great selection to pick from of whatever adult beverage you might be looking for.

The staff is very friendly and helpful whether on the phone or in-person. This store has an…read moreexpansive collection and a wide variety of wine, beer, and liquor.

Prices are about the same as the larger superstores. Curbside pick-up involves just calling them when you are outside and they run your purchase to your car. I am hoping that service continues when stores re-open!

Ok, so HappyMama is not a raging alcoholic, but I have an energetic 3 yr old, I do enjoy my wine…read more (sidenote: I do not take the 3 yr old to the package store:) In California, they sell alcohol at the grocery store, even Target! That being said, I wasn't happy about the fact that I had to start going to a liquor store (but, it's not too bad since they're called "package stores" out here:) I was envisioning dirty, flourescent lit stores with condoms, rolling papers and mini-blow torch lighters on the counter. Nikki G's is NOTHING like that. It's a family owned/run business, clean, safe location, super friendly with competitive pricing. It basically seems like an old neighborhood market, except they sell alcohol. They also always have my fave Coppola wine (which is probably only my favorite because we used to go Coppola's winery for dinner and it has a map of where we used to live on the back label and I MISS CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!) So, bottom line: Nikki G's is not one of these super fancy, fake ivy strung everywhere kind of places...it's a package store. A nice package store owned by a very nice family.

Used to go here regularly when I lived in the area. Selection of beer and spirits was average. The…read moreprices were pretty good too. Owner was nice at first, but one day I was sworn at for talking on my cell phone (no service inside store) in the parking lot for too long. Seriously? I was a regular here. Who does that? Also, they aren't open full legal hours in Connecticut, close early, and aren't open on Sundays much of the time.

I think my husband and I have now found a new favorite liquor store. We live off of route 3 so…read morethere's a different one by us, but they just don't have the selection that MK's does. The owner is super nice and friendly, and made excellent suggestions to us. They have wine in there that I've never even heard of, which is a super good and awesome sign. I can't believe we've lived 5 mins down the road from here for the last 2.5 years and never thought to check it out. If you want Scottish or Irish whiskey that you can't find in other places, def come here, chances are they actually have it. I also bought an amazing $80 huge bottle of Kentucky bourbon, and it's one of the best bourbon's I've ever had. If you're in the Rocky Hill/Wethersfield area, you def need to come here, because they have something for everyone.

The entire building is new and the inside is clean and spacious, there is a wide selection of snacks and drinks to choose from in the cooler. The store is brightly lit and inviting making one feel safe as they shop. They even offer fountain drinks which I am a fan of! They have Coca Cola products available from the fountain and the only complaints I have is that the cups available are a little bit cheap and flimsy, additionally the sodas are a little pricey at $2.29 for a large. They also offer ICEE brand slushies as well as a large selection of hot coffee, I would love to see a larger selection of iced coffee as I thought they were lacking. The store is overall one of the better convenience store in the area and as for the Gasoline service they offer completive prices along with a clean and well lit service island. I will definitely be coming back!

When I moved to this area of the state, I knew it was going to be a little different - I often joke…read morethat I have to drive 25 minutes in any direction to find civilization. But I am proud to live quite close to this package store (aptly named, simply, "The Package Store", which would only cause confusion if you're not a CT native - otherwise, it tells you you're exactly where you want to be). The Package Store isn't nearly the size of any of the larger chain liquor stores, but I swear it's somehow bursting with just as much inventory. And it has all of the character that's missing from those stores. There's so much more to look at besides just alcohol - I don't know exactly how to describe it, but I guess the best way to say it is that the store definitely has its own vibe. Obviously selection is important in a package store as well. It's quite literally overflowing with wine, beer, and liquor, and I've never been disappointed in the variety. It's also surprisingly well-organized. You may not think so at first, but once you've spent some time in there, you know where to look for everything and it all makes sense. For hard-to-find beer enthusiasts like myself, there's a handy little whiteboard to the left of one of the doors as you walk in - it lists out all the high-demand beers they have, as well as the per-person limit - because it is a smaller store, the limit is anywhere from 1 to 4 cans/bottles of a given beer per person, but that's pretty typical for any of the rare beers at most package store these days. It IS nice to know that if something pops up on BeerMenus that morning, that there's a good chance it will still be there in the afternoon when I get out of work since one person can't go in and buy out the whole stock. Overall, I think this is a great hometown package store that's worth checking out if you're in the area. I have yet to be disappointed!

I don't know why Yelp has this as "Plaza Package", you can see from the picture that the sign over…read morethe door says "The Package Store". Also when you make a purchase the receipt says "The Package Store". This place is small but absolutely packed with variety, especially if you want beer! Making your own six pack out of the cooler is a great way to find your next favorite beer! They also have wine and liquors, take a close look at the shelves if you want to find something new and interesting.
