I have no idea who Jerry is, but Marco is a good guy - knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. This is my go-to packie in the Union Square area. Their craft beer selection is excellent and constantly rotating, so there's always something new to try. The wine and liquor selection is smaller, but if you're into craft beer and you're in Somerville, this is the place to check out. read more

Cute place, great selection, and workers gave me excellent recommendations to go with my dish for dinner. Not too pricey and the area is nice. read more

Jerry's Liquors - Front view - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

A friendly environment always. Very convenient location in Union Square. Great selection of beer wine and spirits. Thanks Marco for all you do !! read more

Jerry's is a great little packie in Union Square. They carry a nice selection of New England micro brews along with the standard Budweiser/Miller lite/Coors et al. But I hesitate to call that swill beer ;) They also have a decent selection of wines (mostly Portuguese). If you aren't sure of a good wine for your needs, do not hesitate to ask. They are always such a big help; when I needed help finding a good wine to add to my pot roast, they pointed me to one & the dish came out fantastic. Thanks guys!!! My only complaint is that they do not carry PBR :P read more

Jerry's Liquors - a bicycle parked in front of a building - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Called Marco looking for a particular type of whiskey for a client. He was knowledgeable and truly helpful. Definitely will be doing all my client gifts and personal shopping here. read more

Nestled back slightly from Somerville Ave in the center of Union Square, Ivy hangs off the gates that swing open to the beckoning entrance of this neighborhood packie-- giving the feel of a respectable purveyor of goods and making me feel better about my midday liquor shopping as opposed to feeling like a sketchball with a vino problem. Ivy aside, Jerry's is pretty much your average liquor store with above average offerings in a few specific areas. You can get beer, wine, & liquor plus mixers and some other useful items (Olives, Luxardo cherries, Taza chocolate, etc.) Two key areas that set this place apart are: 1) An interesting selection of beers beyond your regular Coor/Miller/BlahBlahBeers. They had some imports and microbrews including but not limited to a huge Harpoon selection, Rogue, Allagash, Stella, Stone and Avery-- plus they have a section for singles which makes me want to come back and stock up for experimenting. 2) Portuguese wine like woah. Overall their selection of wine isn't ground breaking (if you're looking for a bigger selection & more regional diversity- head over to Liquor World in Porter) but they have a number of well-priced interesting Portuguese wines. They have a bunch of vinho verde selections (perfect summer white) and a handful of tintos as well. The guy behind the counter has always been friendly & quick with helpful suggestions. Plus, being just about the only liquor store in Union almost guarantees that Jerry's has the leverage to hike prices, and yet they haven't- making this a great pick for the area. read more

I absolutely love living in Somerville! There are some really great locally owned coffee shops, businesses, and places to eat. One of my favorite parts is the variety of liquor stores nearby. I can comfortably walk to five liquor stores, by Jerry's is by far my favorite! Inside this super cute building is a neat and organized collection of many different beer and wine (much better, in my opinion, than Woody's and the place by M-Basket). Additionally, and sometimes more importantly, the folk who work there (usually a man) is very friendly. I wish I had more to write, but sometimes short, sweet, and to the point works wonders. Buy your beverages here! read more

Jerry's has a great beer selection that ranges from your basics to Lambics to every harpoon variety (raspberry UFO), several types of magic hat, lots of small breweries and a few basic foreign beers (stella, becks). Beer prices are average, which is great considering it's the only packie in Union sq. The wine selection is decent, especially the portuguese wines, where you can get a well rated vinho verde for $7. Not a wide selection of french or italians, mostly portuguese, american and australian. *** update *** Whoever's stocking the beer reads Beer Advocate. They've pumped up their selection of belgian & german imports, and lots of other great stuff, like Unibroue, Allagash, Rogue. For a small store, their selection is really great. I'm so happy this place is my local. read more

I am always impressed with this place, always. I can come in asking for anything from fruity to sophisticated and they are able to get me a wine that does the trick. This is all the more impressive because it's not a large wine selection, just diverse and easy to please. I am a scotch SNOB, I won't touch a single malt under 12 years even casually and I do have my preference, this place wasn't carrying it and all it took was bringing in my empty bottle and voila, they have it now. Very good customer service, they take all sorts of plastic and cash, and the conversation and knowledge you can learn is awesome. Definitely the best place in Union Square to get your booze. read more

When I moved to the neighborhood, I was totally bemused by the epic gated entrance to a liquor store. Bemusement continued when I got inside and was hit with a lingering scent of cigar smoke and learned that no one there is named Jerry. Whimsy! The store is dog friendly, perfect for the Riverdog patrons who need a nip for the road. Marco and his crew keep a tidy, well-stocked store of quality craft beers, fancy libations, and cheap booze. Whatever you're looking for, Jerry's likely stocks it or can get it from you. Marco is knowledgeable about his inventory, and he's down to shoot the breeze with you about it. We're craft beer geeks, and we can always count on Jerry's to have something new in store for us to try out. Prices are reasonable (and I've even heard folks get talked out of things that cost more than the taste is worth). Definitely a big fan and will continue to shop here on the regular. read more

Read the yelp reviews, walked down the street, and the guy talked to me for about 20 minutes about which wines would be best. Not the biggest selection, but certainly a good variety considering. Really liked the place, felt welcome. Not a cheap corner store liquor store. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful. I don't drink much liquor, but I was recommended the best (cheapest) whiskey for a recipe I was cooking up closest to the amount I needed. Plus, I accidentally left my ID there and they kept it safe for a little over a week. read more

Great selection of beers, ever-changing selection of whiskey, and decent wine selection, especially if you like reds. This place feels like a neighborhood joint - very down to earth. read more

You are always greeted with a smile. I just love going in here. Of course its not like going to Kappy's - where they have rows and rows of liquor. But this place always has a good selection of beer and wine - and I always find what I need and at a good price. And Marco is always willing to make suggestions. It fits in with the neighborhood perfectly. This place is a gem. read more

I have to say, it's always a pleasure walking into this shop. It's like a fortress, of beer! Marco is the man too. He's got what you need, and always good for a recommendation or a friendly smile. Tell you what, it's always good to surround yourself with good people.. but I've got no business hanging around the liquor store. That's his job. lol Great selections, great people. Period. read more

Yeah it's good enough. I don't really know what to expect in Massachusetts but this did the job... It has equal selection in beer, wine, or hard stuff - all better than good IMHO. I guess it goes wide not deep. read more

Staff is friendly and helpful. I asked for a Cabernet recommendation and was impressed with both the knowledge and effort that went into helping me make this selection. Awesome! read more

Love these guys. Particularly fine selection of portugese wine - all the wine they recommend is phenomenal (if they like it) & VERY reasonable. These guys are always helpful & I go back regularly to buy their wine by the case (by the way, $5 a bottle for stuff we love). Keep up the great work! read more

Love this place! Such nice folks working here, good beer selection and nice wines, too. Happy to give them my business. Dog friendly, too!

why this place is full of win: milwaukee beer options that aren't miller, pabst, or leinies. not one, but two variety options from the lakefront brewery! clearly, this vendor is serious business. also: luxardo marischinos. *drool* read more

This place is not Costco, it's small but well stocked for it's size. I came here because I needed something to spike my homemade lemonade for a potluck. I explained what I needed and the guy behind the counter helped me pick a vodka with the right color and proof. The drunk lemonade was hit. Jerry's will be my go to liquor store when I need a bottle not a case. read more

Gentleman really knows his beers. Great spot, why would you go anywhere else?

Jerry's is a great liquor store. They have an adequate selection of liquors, beer, and wine, given that the store is pretty small. I think the only complaint - I'd like to see more selection in 12 packs. The prices are great and I use them as a litmus test to see if another store is too expensive. They're also generally friendly too. I guess one more thing is that they're not open till 11pm M-Th or on Sundays, which is inconvenient sometimes. read more

I'm lucky that Jerry's is my neighborhood liquor store. It's a somewhat small neighborhood liquor store, but with a very well curated selection. Always has a great selection of craft beer and liquor, and a great selection of wine. Marco is also great with recommendations and can get things on request if he doesn't have your favorites. read more

Great selection of craft beers and whiskey. Beers are always rotating. Stop on by with your dog's and the owners will give them a treat!

So glad to have this place right around the corner from me! Marco is a nice guy and they always have a good selection. Lots of ciders

Oh Jerry! You are the perfect neighborhood packie. From the cold cases filled with fine beers and boxes of cheap Chardonnay to the well curated collection of artisanal spirits, with pop-up tastings and Marco the mixmaster in the house, Jerry's is to liquor stores what Back Bar is to cocktails. read more

Small place but carefully picked selection. Friendly staff and they usually have one or two beers you can't get anywhere else in town. Conveniently located on my way home from the Farmer's market. I wouldn't consider it my first place to go for party supplies, But they are friendly and and the stock will have something for you. read more

The staff is knowledgeable and their beer collection is fantastic

Like Ricky's Flower Market, Jerry's Liquors is run by a local family. Jerry's has more than just beer and wine---they have Marco and his family. The mom and dad and sometimes the sis (anymore?) will be behind the counter along with a few employees. They are wonderful people and they used to entertain my dog when I'd go there. They are dog friendly people with treats available for the pups. Go there when it isn't busy and chat with the staff. If you want a place that is open and friendly and willing to order what they don't have in stock, but that you may want...Jerry's is the place. Personalized service is their forte. Jerry's is a local place where everyone knows your name, if you are looking to make community. I think of it as the 'Cheers' of liquor stores in Somerville. (Marco will hate that.) lol read more
