Best prices, friendliest staff. I refer these folks to anyone that's visiting visiting from out of town that likes booze. Seriously, I've never seen anything get price gouge-y there. With bourbon these days, that's almost unheard of. Also, I tried to pay for something I broke in their store during this whole pandemic and they wouldn't let me, and instead suggested I write a review if I felt compelled to do so. Should've done this forever ago. Sorry guys/girls. You're the best. Also, don't break anything in their store. This is probably the worst review ever and so much less than they actually deserve. read more

Really knowledgeable employees regarding wines and craft beers. Cashiers not too friendly. Some have been working there way too long. Very competitive pricing and nice family run business. read more

I went here specifically for Burlington Beer Company beers. They had a great selection, and the prices were outstanding. They were very fresh too. Some of the other Vermont beers, and they had some good ones, weren't priced as well and were not as fresh. No staff were wearing masks. read more

Rapid Liquors - Actual receipt - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Stoneham, Massachusetts

The prices and selection here are excellent. One of the best liquor stores I've been to and you can't beat their prices. They often offer exceptional wines that they've gotten a deal on and pass that savings on to customers. I also find that there is always someone in the store who KNOWS about wine. I don't like spending a lot of $ on everyday wine, but I like something tasty in a lower price range. I've never been steered wrong by anyone here and have found a number of wines I wouldn't have tried on my own and been really pleased. They offer a small but nice selection of munchies and Stonewall products. Highly recommend. read more

Can't beat their prices or inventory, they have the largest selection around. Plus employees can't help you enough!

This place is like an adult candy store! Such a variety of wine, beer & spirits. I always enjoy stopping in to see Ron, Jen & Janelle. Definitely a favorite store of mine. read more

Great selection. Better prices and unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful staff. Worth a trip

After spending thousands of dollars in a few months here on wine, I was just embarrassed by the manager after returning a faulty bottle. Manager seemed to be having a bad day, after repeating many times so customers could hear, that there was nothing wrong with the bottle, after only smelling the bottle. I asked him how he knew if he only smelled the wine and he said because he had been doing this for 20 years, in a very snobby manner. Really a shame after I loved coming here, loved the staff, the selection and had spent $3-4k total in the past 3 months on fine wines, scotch, liquor. Unfortunately will not return after being embarrassed for returning 1 bottle out of nearly 100 that I've bought just recently. Really hate leaving bad reviews, but this manager certainly needs to be addressed for his behavior. I will be reaching out this week to file a formal complaint. read more

The best customer service ever! We live in Florida and wanted to send something special to my sister in Stoneham for Nurses Day. We contacted Rapid Liquors and they selected just the right wines. But they didn't stop there, they added an extra bottle to honor my sister's efforts in this COVID19 crisis. Then added a beautiful, customized thank you poster and delivered our gift to my sister. My sister was so thrilled! Rapid Liquors is awesome. read more

Rapid Liquors - a bag of bottles and a thank card - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Stoneham, Massachusetts

This is one of my favorite liquor stores, and I'd say the price and selection are hard to beat having been to many liquor stores. They have had the best prices on Russian Standard and Milagro Reposado in the area and they even take pickup orders via text if they don't carry the liquor in store. Most of the liquors I asked them that were somewhat popular, they were able to order for me. Very professional and prompt service. Keep it up! read more

Place is the best liquor store period. Great staff and selection. Best prices period.

Rapid Liquors is one of the better Liquor stores in town. The staff is very friendly, willing to help if needed and always start a conversation with you. They have really nice gift baskets of all sorts, with a variety of alcohol to choose from for a decent price. read more

See all

This store is great. It is family owned and the sons are always willing to help you with anything you need, up to and including ordering a specific wine you are looking for, helping with recommendations for certain wines that will be great for gifts, etc. They also have a vast selection of craft beer, and cool glassware to go along with them. There is a section with specialty jams/spreads & gift baskets too, which are very convenient if you are looking for a nice way to present your "beverage of choice" as a gift. They have something that fits every type of person too, from a bucket of Coronas with Chips and Salsa, to Crackers and Jelly with a bottle of Skinny Girl Margarita or Flavored vodka. Lastly, their staff is very fast in moving the line along too if it is busy, all the while still being polite and accommodating. read more

By far my favorite liquor store. I don't even live nearby but I'm willing to drive 30 minutes each way to visit. The trip is well worth it. The pricing, selection, and staff are top notch and you won't find better in the Boston area. read more

Anna S. Great service, friendly, knowledgeable staff, excellent selection, very good prices. Consistently high standards, even during coronavirus difficulties. Smooth, contactless transactions. Highly recommend Rapid Liquors for all your alcohol entertainment needs. read more

We tried Rapid's curbside pickup today - it was quick, efficient, and safe. They had everything we asked for and the prices are great! Definitely recommend, especially during the virus. read more

Rapid is my favorite liquor store. Across the board their selection and pricing is amazing.For Bordeaux or California cabernet this is it - do not go anywhere else. Rapid sells high end wines at bargain prices! Here's a tip for smart shoppers - get on the email list for specials that are often limited to just a few cases. Paul (father) and Doug (son) will not steer you wrong. read more

One of the BEST liquor stores in the area. Definitely the best prices for sure too. Great selection, great prices, and a great social media presence displaying new arrivals as well. They can special order just about anything. I've communicated with them via facebook and it's been very easy and pleasant. My wife and I also bought all our alcohol from Rapids for our wedding last year, Doug was especially helpful in this process. I recommend Rapids to anyone seeking craft beer in the area. read more

Why, why, why can there not be one of these where I live now?! The best prices and selection I've ever seen. OK maybe there are bigger liquor stores but seriously, amazing prices. Staff is great-- lots of them related to the owner, I believe--- returns are painless (3 case max though) and the usually-long line moves quickly. You will save at least $3 per bottle of wine compared to other stores and probably closer to $10 per bottle on higher-end hard liquor. If you need a hostess gift, they have super-adorable baskets put together in-house so you don't just have to shove a bottle in a gift bag, you can look like you made an effort! (Except you didn't have to!) read more

I've been a regular at Rapid for a while now since they've really been getting into craft beer. A few reasons why I love them: Pricing - you can't beat their pricing. Their beer prices beat pretty much every place in town, often by a few dollars even! Wine/Liquor selection - they have a huge wine and huge liquor selection, and a knowledgeable staff that can help you pick out a perfect wine or a perfect bourbon for a special occasion Staff - The staff is super friendly, knowledgable, and they treat their regular customers very well. Craft beer - they are staying up on trends.. if there's something that I want to try, chances are Rapid will get it in. Plus, they have great prices on 6 and 12 pack staples and always have the coolers well stocked. I feel lucky to have Rapid so closeby and will continue to be a loyal regular! read more

Huge selection of wine and the very best prices. A typical price difference here is $10 for a California Cab or Zin that is easily $15 elsewhere and sometimes $17/$18 in your local rip-off liquor store. I bet we saved $150 recently stocking up for a party. It is worth the drive out of your way to go here even for just ONE bottle of wine. read more

Rapid Liquor is a huge store with a vast selection of wine! Their prices are excellent and it's always a treat to browse and stock up on wine for the house. When I purchase wine elsewhere, I always end up spending more money on the same exact wine I would have purchased there had I been in the area and been able to purchase it from Rapid Liqours. I occasionally purchase premium Vodka for when we are hosting guests and it's always five bucks or so cheaper than other stores I've been to. Thanks for the great Selection,Service and Prices! read more

I'm going to change my negative view on the spot. Overall in the past years my opinion was swayed but recently I've had nothing but positive experiences. The owner Doug is really nice too and they have a ton of different brands to choose from. Since the place near my house is closed for renovations, my store of choice is now Rapids. read more

Rapid is the sister store of Vinnin Square Liquors. Best prices on wine and spirits around. Even better in some cases than going to NH. You must see to believe. read more

Ok so we went to pick up our ordered wine on the day they said it would arrive and...IT WAS THERE! They were as friendly and as helpful in person and they have an awesome selection at BETTER prices than other local liquor stores. read more

Great spot for craft beer lovers! Great store. Lots of selection and much better prices than other stores in the area. I'm a beer snob, and they usually carry all of my favorite craft beers and a lot of times I see beers that I've never even heard of. I usually end up coming in to buy a couple things and grabbing a bottle or 6-pack of something new to try. read more

I have been going to this store for a couple of months now and love it. My wife is a wine drinker and there selection is great. I went in to get wine to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and had no clue what wine to pair with what food, I ask the one of the workers and they were very knowledgeable. My wife loved the wine and my food of course. Me being a beer drinker love there craft beers. They seem to have everything you need. I would highly recommend this store to anyone. read more

Easy, convenient and a pretty good selection of stuff. The staff is nice and even on an insanely busy Sunday at 2 before the Super Bowl you can get in and out in minutes. They have a huge selection of wines too, which is always a plus. And tons of different varieties of beers but also the usually standbys can be found here too. read more

Great prices and a wonderful selection of wines. The price for Bombay Sapphire is better than any other store in the area and if they don't have a particular wine, they'll order it for you. Knowledgable and friendly It's my regular "go to" for all of my wine and liquor needs. read more

Great place. This is really the only liquor store I go to, and I go here for everything, unless I'm looking for craft beer, in which case I go to Bogie's in Beverly -- they have tastings. Rapid is awesome though, they have great prices on most everything. My only complaints are merely suggestions -- staying open until 11 and having more craft beer; that would be awesome. I know little about wine, but they have a large selection. You never have to wait long in line, even when it's busy, and the staff is very friendly. read more

I have used this business for years, was turned-on to it by my brother, who used them for years before that. I email wine requests, they reply very quickly with prices (no-one prices wine and alcohol lower, and has such a good selection) and when I can pick it up. Owners and family are extremely friendly and thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about thier products. I have introduced several frineds to Rapid Liquors, who travel far (New Hampshire and Northern Mass to name a few) to get their wine, gifts and other alcohol here. Glad to have Rapid Liquors in the neighborhood, or I would travel for it! read more

Wine is cheap. I repeat, wine is cheap. Great selection of wine, beer selection could have more imports, but not a huge deal. Handy stop on the way home. If you're a wine drinker, you'll be happy you went here. read more

Rapids is the best liquor store in the area. Prices are the lowest for miles and they have or will get whatever you need...Huge wine selection!!! read more

I've been going to Rapid Liquors for years! Their prices are outstanding; people even drive down from New Hampshire to shop here. The whole extended family that owns the store are so nice to everyone that they make you feel like family too. The staff are pleasant and helpful, and know their stock. Anytime I need wine recommendations, their suggestions are spot-on. I couldn't ask for more from any store. read more

This is a great liquor store with some of the lowest prices around - always my first stop for routine beers and whiskeys. While the beer and wine selection is pretty strong overall, the liquor selection is a bit lacking compared to Redstone down the street. If you could somehow combine the cheap prices of Rapid Liquors with the huge selection and free tastings that Redstone offers, it would be a no-brainer 5 (and vice versa). Stoneham really hit the jackpot with above average booze joints. read more

I literally cannot buy booze anywhere else. When I'm in a pinch and need to pick up a bottle of grey goose elsewhere I cringe at paying an extra $10. The prices at Rapids are amazing and the staff is so friendly. They've ordered special items for me in the past as well (Creme yvette). I don't drink many liquors, vodka (grey goose) and champagne (vueve) and their prices are by far the cheapest I've seen for both. read more

They were good- now they are great!!! Post expansion has allowed them to carry more than ever. They were always helpful wine-wise (we buy cases based on Doug's recommendations alone!). The prices are the best around read more

Rapid Liquors is easily the best liquor store in Mass for selection and price...whether it's wine, beer or liquor they will have the best price guaranteed. Their craft beer selection is AWESOME...they have rare beer and hard to find limited release brews that other stores just do not have. Their wine section is ridiculous...easy to find varieties labeled by country and/or grape. Always 2-3 dollars cheaper per bottle than every other store. RAPIDS RULES!!! read more

Great service, selection and prices better than CostCo? Yep.

I stopped in on the way to a weekend away with friends. I don't live in Stoneham, but Rapid came highly recommended. I could not have been more pleased with not only the variety & prices of the selection but with the service as well. Incredibly helpful when answering my questions and offered to help me out to my car. Only wish I had one in my area! read more
