Best beverage store in the area!…read more Alright, perhaps I'm a bit biased because this store is such a short driving/ walking distance from my house and perhaps frequented by yours truly far too often BUT I'm here to tell you that you won't find a better combination of selection, prices and unique charm than Latham beverage! Sure the place is run by a bunch of Siena kids that who obviously throwback cheap light beers instead of the IPAs they claim to have knowledge of ...but they are always friendly and always suggest expensive beers for me to purchase. "$20 for a 12oz bourbon aged stout? I dunno".. "It's dope dude! So good".. "Hmm..ya sold me ok!". Are there times I come in here and there is literally no staff to be seen? Yes, all the time but they have a wonderful selection of craft beer which rotates regularly and often there are great deals on out of season beer! I'll also freely admit that the manager seems to be drunk most of the time perhaps from sipping off the growler filling station in the back but I believe product sampling ensures that kind of in depth firsthand knowledge that you just can't get anywhere else! In fact, well... it's pretty obvious most of the staff is sampling the product in back. But clearly the manager here has taken a synergistic leadership approach and gotten the whole team involved. Don't forget your work environment isn't just a building, it's a culture! Driving by you might notice some seemingly convincing signs reading - "We want your empty bottles and cans" but in truth I think that by "want" they only mean the obligation by NY law to accept them. Returning bottles here means you'll need to count and categorize everything you are returning before organizing them neatly into separate bags and boxes. One does not simply drop off a bag of bottles and expect to receive cash; one must first separate glass bottles from plastics and cans, and then sub-categorize those glass bottles into separate colors, before ultimately counting the total number that one is returning... or so I was advised numerous times by the friendly (oft-inebriated) guy who accepts the empty bottles in the back. Yes, I've ultimately decided that for the time it takes me to organize all of my empty bottles it's not worth 7-10 dollars I get back on the return. Don't forget time is money, and time is also drinking time for the staff who works here. Also, I would be remiss if I did not mention the attached wine and liquor store. It's dark and dusty sure, often bottles of wine seemed to be stocked without any sort of methodology or system but they carry enough of the staples to get you through a dinner party pinch and some eagle eyed shoppers might notice some mispriced items from time to time. It's alright though, if you do notice something mispriced the kid checking you out will likely be too high to notice. In truth, the wine store which, is staffed by the same employees as the beverage center attached purely serves as an outlet for Siena college students to buy large quantities cheap booze in plastic containers. I can't hate, I mean who doesn't like a good jungle juice from time to time? What I've written might seem like an over exaggeration perhaps an embellishment on the facts but it's not, I freely admit Latham Beverage is just too good to be true. Four stars.

I came here to see if they had a variety of seltzer waters that I might not find at the big…read moresupermarket chains. While inside, I discovered a mess. Maybe I came on a bad day, but there were boxes everywhere and it looked disheveled. If they had a organization system I didn't quite catch it. I found ciders here and there in the store, not grouped together. Since I am not a beer connoisseur, I couldn't say if their selection was good or even organized. I have been to other beverage centers in the area so I know what is "normal" and what is "a hurricane just went through here." I saw a lot of cool ciders and picked some up, as well as a case of sparkling water. There was a half-full (or half-empty?) cup of beer on one shelf, which I assume was leftover from a tasting event they ran two days ago. I saw one employee several times walking around and stocking. He never said a word to me when I came in, never asked if I needed help, or didn't thank me for stopping by. His only word was "yup" when I preemptively set out my ID. Maybe I came on a bad day, or maybe it is normal for this place. I dunno, but there are better options that I enjoy more so I doubt I will be back.

I live about forty five minutes away from this store so I cannot talk about the actual location but…read moreI use them online and I'll speak to that. They have probably the largest selection of wines I have seen on any website and their prices will usually beat every other location. I have looked into. For example a bottle of Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling is usually $10-13 a bottle. They have it for under $9. I ordered a case which was delivered two days later for like $12 which is still cheaper. Some more expensive wines might actually give you free shipping. Going back to the case I ordered. I realized three days later that sent me the "sweet" Riesling. Which is too sweet for me. I called they check my order and switched it out the next day GREAT customer service. I will be using them a lot more often since it is so convenient and just talking to them feels like they really care. One day I'm make the trip there ( when I have about $500 to spend ) to make it worth while.

Plenty of easy lot parking in a shopping g plaza next to Marshall's. I was delighted to find some more unusual wines instead of the typical 19 Crimes and Yellowtail (which they also have). I was absolutely delighted that they sell Piñaq, an incredible liquor made by blending French VSOP cognac and Dutch vodka with various natural fruit flavors, including passion fruit, coconut, and pineapple. The pineapple bottles are amazing and I've gone to great lengths to be able to purchase these in MA and RI. They are readily accessible here although they only had the yellow (pineapple) and blue (passion fruit) bottles. Maybe I will be back closer to the holidays for these. I would love to see them get the pink (rosé) one. The staff person working here was super nice and chatted with me about the store. They are under new ownership which seems to be doing a great job. I look forward to checking back here next time I am in town and maybe scoring some more Piñaq!

Upon walking in the store, I felt like I was sticking to the floor and it had the aroma of a recycling center. While they did have some nice craft selections, they are not well organized or marked. I felt really out of place as a woman shopping here. This seems like more of a store for college kids and hardcore 24 pack a weekend consumers. Also, while they have signs everywhere that they ID 100 percent of customers, the guy didn't ID me, so the false advertising made it seem a bit sketchy. 2 stars for the local craft selection and convenient location but the actual store is foul.

Second time here, not so great. The sales clerk was still…read morehelpful, but I definitely picked up a four pack of skunky beer.

I had faith that they weren't from the same order, but, I was mistaken. A properly functioning beer purveyor would have stocked all these outdated beers elsewhere .... But this one was a miss.

If I were getting take-out from anywhere in Galleria 7 or nearby, I'd certainly stop in here to get a bottle of wine or two to go with my meal, and there's a small cooler in the back with some already-chilled wines. It's not a large store, and the size is reduced a bit more by the center aisle being an "employees only" area. So they're forced to pick and choose what they sell, and I think they made good choices. As you walk in, the wines are on the right, very well organize, with competitive prices. Liquor and liqueurs will be on the left, with a significant assortment of whiskeys. Prices are reasonably competitive here. Service is friendly, I was greeted as soon as I walked in.

What really sets this place apart from other places though are the self serve wine tasting station where you can taste before you buy and the in store chilling machine.

Then, if you want your wine ice cold, drop it in the self chilling machine and in a mere seven minutes, ice cold baby. If you know a wine you want, just drop it in and then shop for news stuff for a few minutes and voila.

Me and my cousin couldn't buy our wine being over 55 years of age because he was inside of the store to begin with. I contacted multiple liquor stores and they have all told me the same thing. It's NOT the law. He lost about $100+ in sales. That means if a mom walks in with her 1 year old that she can't be sold because she has her kid with her. He also claimed to be a multi million dollar business but his whole back shelf was empty and wouldn't be in Albany New York in a small town if he was. Store was a ghost town til we came in Aswell. Strange behavior from someone who could've used the money. Lied about the law but what do I know, rude throughout the whole process so glad he didn't get my money. I went to another store and got my liquor for cheaper and had some respect when doing it. Not a surprise that the man who works here is specifically the one all the negative reviews are about. Store is rated a 2.3 as I'm writing this cause of his behavior. Keep acting the same and you won't be doing your business any favors getting yourself these reviews.
