I could have easily written this review in 2024, but let's start off the new year with a beery bang…read moreby saying how Great Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage truly is. I've been to this local beer spot many times now and I always walk out happy (and hoppy...bad joke). Enter into LRB and you'll find your standard run-of-the-mill beverage store, though I'll give them some credit because their space is clean, well-lit/heated, and nicely-sized with items more spread out making things easy to find. You'll notice plenty of non-alcoholic options as well, but the real winners come from the brews you can choose. Heading towards the back, you'll usually find a decently-sized area of seasonal selections. I have a pic on here from their October beer setup which was fantastic in choices. They even carried a gluten free pumpkin beer that my friend enjoys which is great for those that can't partake in the normal gluten-filled brewskies. Once at/in the refrigerated area is where you'll really find the gems of LR Bev. To the right, they have plenty of your basic beer options cold and ready to go, but to the left, there is a full wall of local and highly touted brewery selections. This includes beers from Sand City, DUBCo, Evil Twin, Other Half, Abomination, and even some Tree House can be spotted here (if you're lucky to catch it). This variety is outstanding and shows that LRB knows what the craft beer scene is all about. Lastly, I just want to mention that the staff at Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage always seem polite and friendly. You can get a mixed bag of people depending on the beverage store you go to, but here I consistently feel welcomed. Bonus is their bottle return is pretty generous in that they tend to take almost any bottle/can of beer. Gotta love that so you can get that little bit of change back in your pocket...before using it to buy more beer, of course. Overall, Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage is the real deal for beer, at least in this area. There's nothing crazy going on here in space, but there is a decent size with plenty of good brews to choose (exotic and not) along with some friendly folks behind the counter. I'm glad to start off 2025 with reviewing this beverage spot and the five stars I'll happily hand out to them. Cheers!

The only white wine I'll ever drink is called Brotherhood which is kinda hard to find and they always have it. There's a good selection of red wines for less than $20 which is awesome for me! They have tons of other liquors like whiskey, tequila and vodka. They don't have a lot of mixes for mixed drinks but in the back they do have pre-made Jose Cuervo margaritas which makes me super excited! The owner is very nice and sweet. It's located in a strip with CVS, Thai food (Phayathai), crazy crepe, and a smoke shop. There is ample parking. The area is pretty safe too if that was ever a concern. So you can grab some wine, get some Thai food, and get some ice cream from CVS or dessert from crazy crepe! It's your one stop shop for an amazing night!

Though I feel there are too many from some places and not enough from others. that is why its my number 2. The prices here are more than reasonable, in fact I feel that they are better here than most other stores on Long Island. Last year I attended their grand wine tasting and it was a great experience. If they had not done it I would not have found bought as many wines from them then.. I had a few disappointing experiences at other wine stores and the tasting they hosted helped me learn what I liked and why I liked it. While a large wine and liquor store I used to go to in Deer Park on DPA (i will not name it) used to be good they now only push the products on their customers that have the highest markup. Lake Liquor does not do that. I appreciate their honesty and their "shelf talkers-review notes" are always helpful. Stop on by on a Friday after work and do a wine tasting or go to their grand tasting event here. You will not be disappointed.

I purchased a $15 bottle of wine and an 8-pack of High Noon, which was priced at $19. I paid, and when getting into my car, I realized I was overcharged. They charged me $48 for those two items, so I went back into the store and informed the man at the register, who insisted I must be wrong, and that he would change the label, without even getting out from behind the counter to ensure he was correct. He refused to budge, insinuating that I was wrong. I asked for the manager who finally agreed with me, and the man working the register handed me over the money owed, without as much as a "sorry". Very disappointing.

I am a big cider drinker, so I can speak to their selection of that. They have the usual things - Angry Orchard, etc, but they also have a couple of off beat brands with some off beat flavors that I like to try. They seem to rotate things seasonally, so it doesn't seem like anything is sitting around too long, which is great because the rotation allows me to have some different things to try. The staff that works there is always super friendly and helpful if you need them, too. The place looks a tad older, but not too bad, and really - why would it need to be any different? It does exactly what it needs to do.

If the store is pushing $5 wine bottles and no specialty items, I know its a place I wouldn't want to frequent. I was surprised by Fox's Liquor Inc. (Add the Inc for incredible??) Yes, its true they had a bunch of "grabber" bottles for the uninformed shopper. Me? I was looking around and found a nice rioja wine on sale?! How many stores have rioja wine even offered?? I ask about Hendrick's Gin. "Does it ever go on sale?" (I know it doesn't) The counter person was very friendly and informative. No, that brand rarely goes on sale I know in my brain that St Germain as well as Hendrick's Gin is about $30 per bottle. I did find a "small" bottle for about $17 bucks. Throw in the rioja wine and whats that, Mix and Match for $5, small bottles? Sailor Jerry that I wanted to try?? I like this place!

That didn't occur last week when I shopped here.

What can I say, you either match your competitors price or you don't. Simple right? A simple "override" accomplishes the price match.

Now that that is out of the way, I'm definitely a fan of this place. They have an okay selection of booze, and their prices are pretty good. They also seem to have random sales where you can find a good deal, I got a liter of Kahlua not too long ago for only $13. Also every time i've been there, they've had 3 for $10 deals on some of the wines, which is hard to pass up. Be sure to check their website as well if you want to find some coupons.
