There's something like three dozen breweries just in Portland and the surrounding areas, not to mention the rest of Maine. You could visit a lot of them to sample everything, or you could save time and come here. The selection is equally impressive for their liquors (especially their whiskeys) and their wines. The staff are very helpful too. And if this is your first time here making a significant purchase, you can get a discount with your Yelp check-in as well. read more

This place has a wonderful selection of liquor. I was looking for a certain bottle of tequila for the holidays. Every place was out. I tried this out of desperation. The nice clerk told me he was out but would look out back to see if a shipment came in. He came out with the right bottle and told me it's been on hold for someone but they failed to grab it. SCORE!!! then he did something that really made my day. HE CARDED ME!!! I'm pushing 50 so you could just imagine my delight! I asked him if he accepted tips. All kidding aside, hit up this place. They are a gem! read more

If you like to geek out to fine quality beers this place will make your headspin... I was freaked out first time I came here. Didn't know what to do and one of the Staff members had to assist providing me with excellent recommendations. Simply a fabulous selection of craft brews. I grazed over the wines and they seemed good too. Freak Out! read more

Oak Hill Beverage - You've Arrived. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

We stopped drinking beer back in 2013 (more room for bourbon and wine!) so moving back to Maine is funny because at some point it became a craft beer hub...which I think is freaking awesome. We had a flight at Liquid Riot, and on the way home noticed this great little shop - so we popped in with visions of tasty cans in our heads. We were absolutely blown away when we got inside. There were yeasty concoctions from all over this beautiful state for as far as the eye could see (which to be honest wasn't that far, as it's a quaint little place). I'm not sure when the gorgeous beer label revolution occurred, but hot damn I'm so glad to be a witness to it. Phenomenal designs wrapped the cans shelf after shelf after shelf, and I found myself wanting to pick up and read each and every one. Ales, stouts, lagers - even IPAs got my mouth watering based simply on label alone. We didn't find what we came for, but with the help of the guy behind the counter (shoutout, guy-behind-the-counter!) we were able to find some delightful fruit sours which went down quite smooth once we got home. I love this place. It's just down the street from where I work, so I'll be popping in frequently to replenish our re-invigorated love for local brews. ...they also had wines and other spirits :) read more

Great selection of hard to find beers,ciders, wines & liquor. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable as well. I always stop in when I'm in the Portland area! read more

Ok so I thought I had been to a few pretty good places for selections of craft brews and tasty wines before in Maine until I stepped into this little hidden gem tucked away in Scarborough. I think the one thing that completely stood out to me here was the simple fact that the staff was so passionate and energetic to help me in whatever needs that I had and even when the wife was looking for non-alcoholic selections, they were even excited to show her what they had in this department (usually we get the complete stink eye when we ask for non-alcoholic options from the snooty beer connoisseur). They have hundreds of selections of craft brews from all over the place and it was hard to even select a few and I was told that their keg selections are top notch for a great price. So, if you are looking for a place to go to get that rare brew or a select wine from everyone from the box cheapo wine to a very high end wine they have it here. read more

My wife loves chocolate more than anything, except me of course. Anyway she has recently acquired the taste of an excellent bottle of wine and when we recently discovered a wine called "The Chocolate Shop" well, let's just say she was super charged. The original place she purchased it was miles away so both of us began to search for the wine at local super markets and weren't able to find it. So my wife began to call local wine stores to see if they carried it. After a few called she finally hit the jackpot when she called Oak Hill Beverage in Scarborough. They answered the phone with great customer service and was able to find one bottle and hold it for her. Christmas was saved! Oak Hill Beverage was a bit of a challenge to find; however as of January 22nd that will all change as the move around the corner to a more viable place, where the Dollar Tree use to be in the Oak Hill area. We arrived a shot time after speaking on the phone with a sales representative and were greeted warmly and asked if we needed any help. The clerk immediately found our saved bottle of "The Chocolate Shop" and after a short wait in line we paid and were on our way. My wife and I certainly will be back again. Enjoy! read more

Oak Hill Beverage - Shelves of Wine Choices - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

See all

I buy a case of assorted $20 wines every 3 months, and have not been unhappy with anything. Selection is excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful, without being intrusive to a browser like me. What keeps this rating at only 3 stars is the store interior. The space as it is currently designed is not selling the product. The lighting is similar to Costco's. Most problematic is the sunny, hot, and dirty window area that is the focal point of the front of the store. (You can see the glare in some of the Yelp photos.) The wines (particularly the sale rack) are so close to it, I wonder if their quality has degraded from the light and heat. Makes buying the wine far less appealing. If they would clean the window and mitigate the glare problem, and create some lounge-like ambiance up front (in addition to the cork-top table already in place), that would go a long way. I want to be able to envision drinking the wine on a terrace in Italy. read more

My boyfriend is a huge craft beer fan and Oak Hill does not disappoint. They have a really great variety of beer, wine, and ciders. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable about the product. They also have a great selection of singles, which allows me to try out different things. By the register, there is a cooler filled with cold singles as well. This is definitely our favorite place to buy beer. A Scarborough gem! read more

Oak hill beverage is a real gem that you will find tucked away in the vicinity of the shopping plaza of Walgreens and Arlberg ski/surf shop. Inside you will find a close to unmatched variety of craft beer, which is primarily what I buy, but also an expanding hard cider selection and a decent wine selection as well. They stock beers from all over, big and small, but do a particularly nice job of representing local breweries of Maine and Northeast. Aspects that make Oak Hill stand out aside from selection: How many places have you been to that you have no idea what the price is for what you chose with poor or virtually non existent signage?! Not here- they do a great job! Also if you don't see a beer you like or want bigger quantities, you can request if they can order it and nearly every time they have come through for me (plus I believe they still offer a 5% discount if you buy by the case). Staff is friendly and available for suggestions or assist. Periodically they hold tastings of wine and beer if you follow them on social media. Recommended! read more

We go to this place whenever we want to get local beer. They always have what we want and it's always good to support local breweries. The staff is always helpful and nice. read more

Closes earlier than their scheduled hours for staff satisfaction. Not a few minutes, an hour before close. Wasted time and gas smh.

Love this place! Great Selection of beer and wine. Plus they can order almost anything you might want. On top of all that they have warm and knowledgable staff. What more could you want in a neighborhood beer and wine, plus cigars (don't tell the missus). read more

Robert, the owner and buyer, is extremely helpful! I ordered a case of resiling for my mother in-law a few months ago and he remembered me somehow. He recommended another resiling that had just come in and was kind enough to drop me an email about it. If you have any questions or are looking for a custom order this is the place! read more

Really nice wine and beer shop with a well-curated inventory. Good place to stop in for something special at any price point.

I came for the beer and was in awe at the beautiful selection. Hard to find craft beer that even the breweries don't always have available. I was able to create my own six pack using ANY bottle which was nice. I think the owners name was Patrick and he was super helpful and knowledgeable helping me find what I was looking for. Can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

Love this little gem. They have an excellent variety of beer & wine. I've even gotten chocolate beer. The staff is helpful and friendly. I much rather go here & support a local business rather than going to a grocery store. Buy local! read more

Very nice selection of wine and beer in this slightly hidden shop. The prices are just as good as at the supermarkets and the folks there have been very helpul to me in making wine selections. The new owner seems to be working on improving the funky ambiance, as the past few times I have been in i noticed new fixtures like shelves and lighting. read more

I had never bought kegs before, but they had the best price and they were very helpful. This is my favorite place to buy hard liquor too!

I just left this establishment very saddened & shaken. The shorter gentlemen greeted me upon entering with, "ARE YOU OK!!" I've never been greeted with such a salutation in my life. He then followed me around the store the entire time I looked around and flung his hands in the air yelling, "CAN I HELP YOU OR WHAT"!! I have not experienced outright racism for about 15 years. I went outside and asked my amazing & very muscular Italian husband to come inside with me. He did. All following ceased. My husband stayed my side until we left. This establishment is very nice, well kept and full of a vast various of wine but the behavior of this shorter gentleman with glasses was extremely ugly. I did not respond to this man even once, I relied on my husband to be the protector that he is. It was shameful & we would not return but left peacefully. read more

This wine shop is worth seeking out if you live in the Scarborough area. It's tucked behind a few buildings in the Oak Hill Plaza so it's not easy to see from the road. I met a client there to pick out some wines for her private wine event in her home and I am so glad that I did! I was very impressed with their wine selection and the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good wine and good people. Cheers to that! read more

This place is a little tricky to find behind Oak Hill Plaza and McD's. It was worth the trip. A tip from my cousin sent us on the quest to find it. Wonderful beer selection. The service was phenomenal, all the help we needed with finding double IPAs and new ones to try. read more

I love craft beer and Oak Hill knocks it out of the park when it comes to selection and knowledge of the product. I try to stop by at least once a week and they always have something fresh, local,and different to try. Awesome staff, awesome selection!! P.S. I know nothing about wine, sherry or port but when I need a recommendation on picking some up as a gift I can always count on the owner to make a recommendation that doesn't disappoint. read more

Paul at Oak Hill Beverage has never steered me wrong. I constantly am a customer of theirs. And, whether I need a keg for a party or a rare variety of wine, they are always willing to give great advise and get what I'm looking for. I highly recommend them. read more
