Date Night! Happy Cork has been on my radar for over a year now. I spoke to my BF about a black owned liquor store in BK that I just have to visit. We were on our way to dinner when he said he had a stop to make. Pull up and the stop is Happy Cork! I was elated!!! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a staff member plus a lovely young lady who was there promoting her wine. The staff member was so helpful, answering all of my questions and making fab recommendations. I can't wait to return!
Happy Cork Brooklyn is a great shop for Black owned Wines and Spirits, and even have the hard to find Le KOOL Champagne!!! Great selections, and friendly helpful staff!
This place is a cute little gem! They have a private room for parties next to the store. I attended a private wine tasting birthday party here. The hosts were very nice. They were prepared with games and really knew about wine. We all had a great time, especially the birthday girl. Afterwords we visited the shop and purchased some items. I was happy to know that majority of the spirits sold in the shop are from black owned sellers. Customer service in the shop is also top tier! If you're in Brooklyn or not, it's worth it to venture to this wonderful shop for an event or to try out some new spirits.
Love Happy Cork! It's a Black Owned Wine and Spirits store. They also have a sister location, Happy Buds, which is a CBD and wellness shop. They have their own app and I frequently ordered from them at the height of the pandemic. They have a plethora of Black owned wines and spirits that they carry. Now that I purchase in store, I love that I'm able to discover new brands and get recommendations from employees. The staff is super friendly and did a wonderful job pointing out the Black owned brands to me since that's something I'm prioritizing this year as I build out my at home bar. I appreciate the fridge where you can but cold bottles if you're picking up something last minute for an event. They also have other drinks accessories like wine openers, coasters and playing cards. Love this addition to the neighborhood and Brooklyn and general. It's my go to spot for all alcohol purchases!
Everyone in the hood is talking about "Happy Cork." My first experience with Happy Cork was delivery, I was super impressed with the packing and each bottle was separated by cardboard (Didn't happen often when I order delivery from other businesses... sometimes I can hear my bottles hitting one another as the delivery man brings them up the steps...not cool)! Happy Cork included a post card, actually an "thank you card," which included my name "thank you Letty and enjoy!" and gave me information about their hours, location, rewards program, and website. They also sent a follow up text to ask if I was satisfied with the order and delivery (OK)! This business is located in my neighborhood, Bedford Stuyvesant so I took the opportunity to visit. The same great customer service I received online was consistent in person. Great selections and friendly service. I'm so glad that I visited. Please visit their online store or visit if you're in the area. You will be thoroughly impressed.
One of my favorite places to go when I need a bottle (or two)! Whether it's for yourself or a gift, you can find some amazing liquors in this store. Black owned and they go out of their way to stock mostly (if not all?) black owned brands. I've never purchased anything here I didn't like. From wine, to rum, to whiskey.. there is something for everyone. Plus it's decorated so well & they include great descriptions by each bottle so you know exactly what you're in for. Parking is also relatively easy to find around here. Highly recommend!
Support Black owned businesses This review is for my delivery Very impressed with the overall experience. From ordering online, which was user friendly and a discount on new online orders. I new exactly what I wanted, but also peeked around to what else they offered. My delivery came quick, tracking was on point. My wines came well packed with extra goodies, I love surprises! Popped the bottle open after a long week...perfection I was very pleased
I discovered Happy Cork back when the pandemic was really raging. I loved it because I could order online and then just go and pick up my bottles, already packed in a bag with the cutest 'Thank You' note when I got there. I appreciated that their website had great descriptions of the wines so even though I couldn't ask questions to someone in person, I had a great info about what I was buying. Recently, I went in for an Esrever wine tasting and loved the vibe. Also, I love that it's Black woman owned/founded.
Totally enjoyed stopping at this wine and spirit shop to pick up some wines I was looking for . I went in the evening and they were busy . Since they deliver, there were many people waiting to pick up the orders to deliver however inside happy cork they were efficient getting the orders out The owner was very pleasant, told me where everything was located by category and also told me she sold out of those champagne pops I was looking for ... No worries though as I found the McBride sisters wine I was looking for . Great selection of black owned wines here . I will be back
This wonderful mwbe wines and spirits in bedstuy was amazing. Love love love it here. From the outside in from the ambiance to the energy it was so welcoming and beautiful. They have so many different assortments of wine all tagged with descriptions and price points. They also have plenty accessories such as coasters, wine bags, and flasks and wine decor and openers. So much to choose from felt like a kid in a candy store. I live in the other side of Brooklyn but I will travel just to come to happy cork. Great service beautiful decor and great ambiance please support this business... I'll be back
The wine selection/variety is well packed, stacked, and organized just like how I love it. 1st time here at this place and I most certainly will be back to purchase more. I only went there for a Riesling tried it and I love it omg my lady loved it too so she ended up going to grab a bottle too all within the same day within a few hours after me. It was so cute because the lady couldn't reach the top shelf luckily I'm 6ft tall I was able to grab the Oh Schisti lol. I am pleased with whomever made the ambiance as pleasant as it was not too many liquor stores within this neighborhood looks as good as this one inside and out hands down this is the spot. I am very picky and selective on where I may purchase a bottle of wine or possibly rum. Love it love it love it I almost ended up driving pass it but luckily I laid close enough attention lmbo. I wouldn't be writing a review like this if I wasn't satisfied overall and I will tell friends and family about this spot. I wish this business nothing but success and prosperity in the years to come and may all their endeavors and goals reach the highest peek. Peace and love Yelpees and Yelpers

I visited this place a few weekends ago because I wanted to try the Black Girl Magic Moscato. It was a nice wine for the BGM franchise. I knew I wouldn't be able to find it at many liquor stores. But I was informed that Happy Cork would have it in stock. I was so impressed with the selection of the wines and other liquors available. I left with the Black Girl Moscato, Sable Bourbon and Brown Sugar Bourbon. The moscato was very good and the Sable Bourbon is definitely strong so I know it's a fancy spirit. I haven't tried the Brown Sugar Bourbon yet. I can't wait. I'll definitely visit this store again to try other black owned liquors. read more

One of the reasons I came to Happy Cork is because of a wine. Particularly a sparkling red from the rapper Raekwon the chef. There were only a few Brooklyn places that were listed as having it in stock on the wine's website. However, I was searching through Happy Cork's website because I heard of the store before and by chance they had it. So when I was near the area, I had to go. Plus it is a black owned space It is located near the C train stop and closer to the B25. When I walked up to the entrance, I knew it was going to be a good time. Often times wine/liquor stores are serious by nature and by design. But Happy had a fun vibe throughout their selection of bottles. The person at the register was so sweet and not only helped me but knew exactly where the wine was for me to take it. The music was also good, not too loud volume wise but also enough to create an ambiance in the store that makes you want to dance a little. The main space was not the largest but it was open enough to walk and look at the wines without bumping into a shelf Also, I liked that they had a great selection of black owned wines. In other stores they might have 1-2 wines tops. But I saw multiple wineries represented through multiple wines each. Though the store is further than my typical area, they do have local delivery and I'm crossing my fingers that I'm in the range. Overall, you should definitely visit if you have the chance read more

I love Happy Cork, it's been a great addition to the neighborhood over the past few years. They have a great selection of wines and liquor. They highlight black owned wines and spirits which is great for our community to support on another. They also sell other black owned neighboring stores/ Cafe products. They are my go to spot to grab something to take to a gathering or if I'm grabbing something for myself. The staff (Trent, she's been there the times I've gone) is also very helpful and knowledgeable about the products in the shop. Also another perk is that they also deliver. You can't beat that. I look forward to my next visit to the wine shop. I also plan to check out their sister store Happy Buds. read more
Great selection of wines, many from black owned wineries. The staff is friendly and helpful. They had wines at all price levels. I also discovered a vodka from a black owned distillery. They had a wonderful tasting of McBride Sisters wines. I'd love to come back for more events and will definitely come back to purchase more wine!! read more

Excellent Yelp event via Zoom and I'm looking forward to visiting in person when I'm in Brooklyn. The owners are awesome and gave an excellent presentation of their wines. This is in support of black owned businesses that are also owned by women!! read more
What a delight black owned wine and spirits store in BedStuy, Brooklyn. Sorry folks its a big deal and they carry selections of black own wines which is also a big deal since legislation has to passed just to have black own distributors and vineyards around the country. Anyway during this Covid Season social Distancing is in effect. Only one or two people in the store at a time. So please be patient and wait outside. Jamila was very friendly and patient as she answered all of the questions my friend and myself had about the variety of wines and spirits located in the store. I was happy to know they even have a rewards card after 10th purchase you get something free! The highlight of my life. Glad to know prior to Corona they had wine tastings but as you know Corona's taking over the world so things are virtual now. I purchased a few bottles. Saving the Brown Estate, Chaos Theory for my Birthday. It just seems appropriate. She Can is an awesome concept. Never knew John Legend had a Champagne. Glad to know few ladies from Queens did it right with the Prosecco. My favorite summer wine. Can't wait to go back. My co-workers are super excited! read more
I arrived to pick up an order placed online and was pleasantly surprised the store was open. So many places in the area have a habit of not being prompt or stringent with their hours of operation. The staff of two were extremely hospitable and definitely made me want to return. I saw a very nice selection of wines and spirits, many of which i either already enjoy or have an interest in trying out. My order was well packaged and I'm excited to try them all. I will say, It was nice to see another black owned spirits business in the area. read more

I loved the vibe of this little black owned business. The host was very friendly in answering all my questions and giving recommendations on different wines and/or liquors to try. It's a small neighborhood gem located on the corner of Atlantic Ave and Buffalo Ave. I do plan to come here. It also sells from black own vendors (may not all be black vendors) but their array of sellers and liquors, wines and/or spirits will keep you captivated. As well as, their reasonable prices. On this visit, I picked up a Rose flat wine, a South African Moscato wine and a Melbec. I do plan to revisit, continue investing and building a strong black community. read more

Happy Cork is a really nice wine shop in Brooklyn. I came here to purchase the McBride sisters Black Girl Magic Wine and ended up coming upon a ton of unique bottles of wine that I had never seen before. This shop is small but the atmosphere is soothing and calming. It has an afro-centric vibe which I absolutely loved and appreciated, especially because of the location. I had already intended to pick up 6 bottles of wine but if I could have carried more I would had most certainly done so. They had a lot of random flavors and bottles that appeared to be worth trying ! absolutely can not wait to go back and pick up some more wine. Thank you Happy Cork! read more
