Do you want a convenient wine & spirits shop, but just wish it had a little more... Port Authority Bus Terminal feel to it? Then you've come to the right place! There are a decent number of wine shops in the FiDi area, but this one is the 2nd closest to the largest subway hub in the city. Despite that, I've never seen the place crowded. Maybe it's because their prices ARE a little high. Or maybe it's because of their customer service. They're not exactly friendly, which goes a long way. They greet you as soon as you come in, but it's in a way that makes you feel watched or rushed. I usually ignore that and just ask them to let me browse until I have a question. That usually works. But it's too bad they aren't as assertive with pan handlers & the like. I stopped into the shop yesterday looking for a bottle of wine to pair with dinner. Shortly after I entered, a guy stumbled in off the street, asking me for money for liquor. He was talking loudly & using the N word a LOT. Did they say one word to him? No. Not until he walked up to the counter and addressed the woman there face to face, asking for booze. Even then, she wasn't as assertive with him as she's been with me over taking whatever wine she's chosen. To make matters worse, there was a male employee in the store who stood several yards away, just watching. I told this desperate beggar who was told me that HE HAD A KNIFE & had just been in a physical altercation with someone, that I had no cash. He responded that I could just put it on my credit card. The staff said nothing in response to that. I had already chosen my first wine & had placed it on the counter for purchase. But now this beggar was hanging out there. I heard the woman passively mutter something about preferring him to do his business outside. But the male employee just stood there watching. I turned to the male employee & asked, "You're OK with this?" He just shrugged. But the beggar loudly stated, "SHE'S OK WITH THIS!" and laughed. So I told the male employee, "Since you won't ask him to leave, I'll leave." I then walked out empty-handed & made my way south to Simply Wine on Liberty Street, where the worst thing that happens there might be an occasional puppy fart. It was out of my way, but so worth it. Their selection & service rock. I have worked with and around alcohol for many years, including my time as a bartender. If you can't control drunks & people begging for booze, if you can't protect or at least show concern for the safety & comfort of your paying customers, you're in the wrong business. This place won't be getting any more of mine. read more

I ove this small shop with a curated stock of wines and liquors. the service is friendly and it is in my neighborhood. it is a pleasure to wander in and discover a nice bottle of wine. read more

This late-night liquor store (only .04 miles from my hotel) proved to be all too convenient for me since most beverage, spirits & wine stores were closed far too early for weekend hours. A bit pricey (but not too astronomical), Seaport Wine & Spirits still provides decent, attentive customer service, affordable wine bottle bags given right upon checkout and a decent variety of selections. read more

Great location, but overpriced wine and spirits because of that. In terms of the spirit collection, they have most mid tier brands, think grey goose, tito's, johnny walker, and have some nicer things like Macallan 12 and Yamazaki 12. The wine selection is ok, but again, I feel like you can get these for 20% less at Warehouse wines or Astor's Wine and Spirits. Most wine stores are unfortunately overpriced in the FiDi area, so if you are in the area, you'll most likely be out of luck. SoHo, East Village are much more wallet friendly for wine and spirits. read more

This is by far the most impressive wine place so convenient. I work nearby. Although there is one kind of sweet wine, I am so impressed with an endless list of dry wine. I've tried cabernet sauvignon, kahlúa(coffee rum), and romagna cagnina dolce. All of them I've come to enjoy after a meal. I would like to come back and buy one of their dry wine that I've seen. Very neatly organized and easy to access. read more

Lucky me, I wandered into this store right when they had wine tasting. Yippee yay, yippee yo. And it turns out they have wine tastings every Thurs, Friday, and Saturday, if I remember correctly. From 5-8. Then I got miself a Portuguese Vino Verde that I already had recently and happily hopped on out. I think this place will see me again soon. read more

Terrible crappy overpriced store. They clearly buy discounted wine and market up at a premium so they make extra money while giving customers bad quality products. I suggest shopping any where else other than this store. read more

THREE AND A HALF STARS. We stumbled across this place new years eve near the financial district. Believe it or not, it was one of the only places we found that was still open, so that is a major Thumbs Up for them. Immediately upon entering the store we were greeted by our own "personal shopper" who walked us to the champagne WALL and explained the ones that were the best bang for our buck without trying to sell us solely on Veuve... I had a chance on my way out to admire the wall o' wine and the beautiful way they have them all displayed. I would love (if I ever found myself in the area again) to pop in and explore the different selections. read more

Amazing wine selection and most of them are displayed on their wall as they should be to keep the flavor intact...at least that's what I learned at a wine shop in Paris. Not so easy to spot what you're looking for tho, but their circular metal price tags ARE easy to spot. Came here last night looking to purchase box wine because my friend's birthday gathering was supposed to be outdoors on a rooftop and glass was absolutely forbidden. If course it ended up raining and her party was moved indoors...but alas it was sunny when I was liquor shopping sooooo...I ended up not purchasing anything here because their only boxed wine was $48 and to me that's much too much for a box wine. There was also a representative from Brooklyn Republic vodka doing a tasting - she was super sweet and their vodka is pretty smooth and tasty stuff (which is carried by one of my fave liquor stores in Astoria so I was already familiar with it). Wine selection here is really nicely curated with most bottles being more than I want to spend unless I'm looking to impress. If I'm wine-ing myself as I spend a hot night with Amazon Prime or Netflix then I wouldn't come here - if you want fancy pants wine and are in FiDi, then this is definitely a great stop. read more

Small. Lovely decor. Creatively designed wine wall. Wine selection is inexpensive, no high-end varietals. Decent selection of flavored liquor. Free delivery. Overall: okay, but with so many 5 star wine stores in the neighborhood, I'm not sure how often I will return. read more

Seaport Wine & Spirits - The wine wall at Fulton Wines and Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

Excellent selection of bourbons, whiskies, and rye. Many small batch and artisanal producers crammed into tight space on Fulton Street. Nice friendly sales staff. I like it. Didn't check out wine but looks like a decent selection. I keep coming back here. Scored a widow jane bourbon today so I'm happy. read more

If you want to get the best recommendations for any occasion or meal, definitely check this place out. They have a wide variety of wines and spirits with employees who are knowledgeable and happy to help. The prices are average for the area. Also, check out their wine tastings Thurs- Sat starting at 5pm, so fun! read more

Best price in Manhattan so far for the yamazaki 12 ($105 plus tax). Happened to walk by here and saw the display by the window. The staffs were pretty friendly. Will come back here for more Yamazaki! read more

Ethan is the best! This place rocks! Ethan is a life saver and he deserves a huge shout-out just for that! Scene: 11:52 pm Saturday night - I call them up after roaming around the area for a while looking for a Rosé and couldn't find any. Ethan tells me he has it and they're closing in 8 minutes. After running over - guess what?! they're closed! But I signal to him that I was the one who called so they let me in and shows-off the Rosé variety they carried - which they had all items in a chilled option too - YAY! So as far as I can tell - 5 Stars and nothing less. read more

Came here last night conveniently located Next to baked by Melissa which in itself deserves 1 star for that. But besides that the experience was 'meh'. Although the decor and setup on the store is nice it is very much over priced especially for spirits. The staff are not knowledgable at all when it comes to wine. I asked for a unoak Pinot noir and the lady working who was dressed in a baggy sweater and baggy jeans suggested me a wine that was infact 100% oak. I didn't come to fin out that until I got home and tried the wine. She raved about this wine and it tasted like grape juice on a chewy piece of wood. I asked for the opposite of this bit yet somehow walked out with this. I feel like the staff is not knowledgable and pretty much talk like they do know what they are saying. Pro: Next to baked by Melissa, open late Con: unknowlegable staff, overpriced read more

Reasonably priced alcohol in the city. The staff is helpful and nice plus no card minimum like some cheap, tacky establishments in the city. You could definitely spike a slurpee or a coolata,walk around and enjoy your day. read more

No prices on anything.. and now I know why! Its a surprise when you get to the counter. Two bottles of rum came out to $64.24. Horrible Customer Service! The Asian lady, I guess the owner, was abrupt and didn't even say thank you, not even a smile. First and last time! read more

I go here because it is in my neighborhood and useful in a pinch. The wines are overpriced and the staff ignores you. If you ask a question they look at you like you need to leave. They claim to have a $15 (or $20...this is how the woman phrased it...$20 or at least $15) minimum for credit cards but don't have that posted anywhere. I pushed back on the policy and she let me use my credit card for a $12 purchase. I go in here as infrequently as possible but sometimes it has to happen. Speaking of which, anyone know of other wine shops in the area?? read more

No credit card minimum, decent liquor selection, and wine served both room temperature and chilled... this is my go-to place! The only reason I am giving it 3* is because literally EVERY time I go here and buy an 11-15$ bottle of wine, they try and sell me on more expensive stuff. Yes, I know a 40$ of wine will taste better, but I am not willing to spend that much on a single bottle...sorry. The owners should appreciate my business as a returning customer and not try to up-sell every single time because it's getting kind of annoying. I know my wine and if they don't have the cheap riesling I like in stock, I plan on finding another bottle around the same price. read more

This place overcharged me $40. I didn't realize it until the next day. When I went back to request a correction / refund, the little blonde hipster kid behind the counter grinned at me and told me he couldn't do anything to help me. Almost like he was enjoying the fact that I got ripped off. I see other reviews saying this place has reasonable prices and good selection, and I wonder if those are fake reviews. This place is the size of a closet and has higher prices than most. I've been going there for convenience since it's the only liquor store on the block, but after this incident I'm just going to walk a few blocks down to Wall Street Wine Merchants. They have much better selection and prices, and the staff aren't jerks. read more

This is the financial district and these folks at Seaport really know how to cater to the 2% but at the price of the 98%. The shop is sleek but unpretentious. Great selections of wine from smaller producers. So you won't find mass produced juice like Yellowtail and Barefoot. read more
