Yankee Spirits is a wine & spirits store that opened in Sturbridge, Massachusetts in 1971. The…read moreliquor superstore is one of the largest in New England and carries a wide selection of wine, spirits, beer, hard cider, and mead at very competitive prices. As of 2026, there are additional locations in Attleboro, Norwood, and Swansea. I recently made a trip to Yankee Spirits while I was passing through the Sturbridge area. I have visited before, but this was my first visit in about six years or so. They have an absolutely enormous selection of alcoholic beverages, but I was only interested in exploring their very impressive selection of craft beer. I don't make it to this area very often, so I was most looking forward to see if they carried anything that's either hard to find or just totally unavailable in my home area of New Haven, Connecticut. I spent maybe a half hour just walking down the aisles and seeing what all of the options were. Afterwards, I was ready to begin shopping. I ended up purchasing a pretty sizable haul which should keep my refrigerator full for a while. Most of the beers I grabbed were rare barrel-aged stouts, but I also picked out a few IPAs and other various styles that no longer get distribution in my home area. If you're looking for a serious selection of excellent craft beer, wine, or spirts in New England then look no further than Yankee Spirits!

Store was basically empty. 3-4 aisles of liquor. Severely lacking in selection I would say. Maybe…read more2-3 types of each liquor if that. If you're looking for variety don't go here. I wanted different flavors of vodka but found that they carry only one flavor. Seems like the kind of place that has a bunch of "regulars" that basically only come in for a few packs of beer every week and that's all. All in all, it's Ok. They cover the basics and that's about it. Don't expect to find some little known liquor here, they just won't have it. They're cheap though. At least when you can't find what you're looking for, what you do find wont be outrageously priced. The cashier was pleasant as well. Didn't creep me out as other liquor stores clerks have. Answered my questions knowledgeably.

It's an OD green army hat my uncle who has been in the army for 30 years gave me as a gift and this guy started saying it was "communist" and called my uncle and the rest of my family communist traitors. I've never been so disrespected in my life for no reason at all, my family has watched their friends get blasted apart in Afghanistan and for someone to suggest they're traitors is beyond ridiculous. Never going back again especially if the owner thinks it's funny to disrespect patriotic americans there's plenty of places that don't insult the sacrifice of our soldiers.

In high school, we'd often stop there in the mornings to stock up on Jolt cola and other necessities. I have very fond memories of this litle store. I stopped in to pick up some booze on my way to my parent's house for a visit. I hadn't been in there in years and I was greeted by a bright, clean, modern-looking space. A major upgrade from the dingy decor of yesteryear. However, and maybe it's just because there's more space now, the store looked practically empty to me. There was only one or two of everything on the shelves which just made it look depressing. And, any store that calls itself a package store should have a decent booze selection, which sadly, this place did not. I wanted red zinfandel for me and blue curacao to make my mom "that magic blue drink you made me this summer" as she called it and neither were to be found. Sooooooo, 2 stars for the less than adequate selection of booze and an extra star for the upgrades to the store.
