I was looking for something…read morenon-alcoholic, and since I've had bad experiences with this place before, I didn't even bother asking. The arrogance from the staff here is practically baked into the walls. As I was leaving, sure enough, one of their employees finally decides to acknowledge me. But instead of a normal, professional "Can I help you find something?" he throws out a half-hearted, almost sarcastic "Need any help?" It wasn't friendly, it wasn't genuine--it was dripping with attitude, like I was inconveniencing him just by walking through the door. I know when I'm dealing with bullshit, and this was exactly that. If they were actually interested in customer service, maybe they'd greet people as they walked in, or at least make an effort to act like they cared. But no--just another arrogant Boston attitude, served up right at the door. I should have trusted my gut and stayed away, because every time I give this place another chance, they just confirm they don't deserve my business. Shame on me for expecting anything different.

They have a vast selection of liquor including some boutique spirits. And everything seems to be in a specific category making it easy to locate. I was happy to see they have a nice variety of Japanese whisky. Street parking is tough around the area so I ended up parking in a walkable distant lot that was free on a Sunday. Hibiki Suntory Whisky- One of my favorite whisky! I had to stock up on another bottle. It's a great medium-bodied whisky, nutty, and slightly sweet. Overall Service: The staff here was friendly! We were greeted immediately and he was helpful when we had a question.

The cans with the gas were more and I passed on those. The do give a nicer pour however these were fine for the occasion and the price was right. They had some discount booze in a couple of wagons up front, nothing I was interested in. The store is clean and well lit and organized. I will be back, prices are very good.

It's strange to rate a liquor store but my new philosophy on life is 'If they're taking my money,…read morethey're gonna get Yelped." By virtue of being the packie nearest to my Malden dwelling (affectionately referred to in e-vites and inter-roommate correspondence as The 162), it's the first stop for spur-of-the-moment boozing needs. I maintain that one can have liquor-based necessities without being an alcoholic. Like a year ago, when I was between autos. Ursula had died and Miho and I had yet to find each other and, accordingly, I had to hoof it. With some Beef Florentine in the oven and dessert on the brain, Vernon's was the only liquor store within (timely) walking distance. Fresh fruit Foster was on the menu and I was insistent on a banana liqueur. The best Vern's could do for me was the dreadful, high-proof 99 Bananas. Yuck. More recently, Gentleman's Quarterly recommended Pimm's No. 1 as one of four European spirits perfect for summer. Each of the two employees I asked for direction looked at me as if I were one head short of a hydra and dismissed the notion. Undeterred, I eventually found a dusty bottle on a bottom shelf devoted to other low-demand curiosities. To her credit, the misplaced, witty young lady working the register (who did not offer the simple compliment of an ID check) showed genuine interest in the Pimm's and we briefly discussed my intent to mix it with Fresca (not, in hindsight, an ideal blend) and its more regular companionship with lemonade. I won't relate the entire narrative but I would encourage those of y'all with dark senses of humor to wander in on a lazy afternoon and ask for a gift certificate. What an amazing scene. At any rate, the prices are what you'd expect them to be. The wine selection is piss-poor and you shouldn't expect much in the way of a recommendation or even ordinary human kindness from the employees. Malden has plenty of better options (any of the umpteen Kappy's, for example).
