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.

So our experience here was not the best in the world that's for sure. We started off and we noticed…read morethat there is no way that they are keeping track of who is entering who is leaving this facility. The people who are sitting at the front of the building with that tablet in their hand are talking back and forth having conversations with everyone else but they are not keeping track of who is entering and leaving the facility. As we went through the store itself we noticed that practically all the shelves are bear. They don't have product on the shelves at all, it's like they're not ordering to restock really any product a lot of stuff is missing and I'm not truly sure why. It's not like they are running out of men's t-shirts or things like that, like we were when there was an issue with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. I could see how there could be trouble keeping that on the Shelf but other things I'm having a little trouble understanding. Finally, after we have retrieved pretty much everything that we could possibly get at that time, we decided that it was time to go. We decided to go to the self-checkout where the employees proceeded to tell us that we can only use credit card in the machine no cash is accepted and there was an annoying high-pitched beeping noise coming from one of the machines and they did absolutely nothing to stop that machine from beeping so it was a very annoying way to end our shopping experience, on top of that the bags to be able to put our grocery in we're not even on the rung so that we could place our Grocery in the bag. So we had to try to fix everything before we could start bagging our grocery meanwhile, The two that were there meaning employees we're just talking and laughing and having a good old time. I am not sure if they're always like this or not or if we just came on a really bad day where employees just don't seem to care but I guess it seems to be that that was our shopping experience today. But based on today's experience I would not recommend going to this facility to this store. But as always I only give you my opinion I always want you to get your own opinions and go to it look at it and draw your own conclusions. Thank you for listening.

I am a Walmart+ member. I've had numerous delivery issues from this Walmart location. On Aug 6,…read more2026 they delivered extremely hot refrigerated perishable food items that I couldn't consume. I couldn't return the items because I'm disabled and have very limited mobility. I reported it four times through their chat system and one time by calling their corporate consumer relations department. The investigation and partial refund for those items was denied due to violation of their Return & Refund policy!
