    Three bottles of Blind Squirrel peanut butter flavored liqueurs are displayed, including chocolate pretzel, cream, and banana whiskey varieties.

    We stopped in late last night - around 9 p.m. - after dinner nearby. My husband's friend is in from NYC and they were wanting a bottle of liquor to continue their birthday celebrations. The NYC friend was amazed about the size of this place - as there is nothing like this in NYC. They got a couple of samples to make sure that the whiskey being suggested by the staff member was a suitable substitute for what they were looking for but not carried at Party Source. That staff member was very helpful in helping them find that whiskey and my husband's friend bought 4 bottles. They also found a lot of beer and I grabbed a few bottles of bitters for cocktail making. Most anything you need for drinking/cocktails can be found at this store.

    This place is so cool! What an awesome vintage sign. Endless rows of beer, wine and liquor. They have a build your own six pack section which was super cool. Not a whole lot in the party supply department but still a cool vibe.

    It's been 14 years since my last review. I liked it then and love it even more now! Actually the last time I shopped here was with my Mr. 7 years ago. We did a tour at the New Riff Distillery and shopped at the Party Source afterwards. I'm not kidding when I say this is supersize grocery store for liquor. Anything you need, they have. Party decor, food (chips, salsa cheese, crackers, snacks, mixes, etc), beer, wine, hard liquor, cigars, lotto section, and now they just opened Pompilios (Italian dine in- indoor and outdoor seating). I feel like a kid in a candy store. If you need help, there is always an associate ready for recommendations. Everthing is categorized, very clean and easy to find. I am especially impressed with their wine. It has grown a bigger selection. My Mr and I were there for the tequila and was able to get an aged Anejo for a good price with some other goodies as well. Hands down, I love this place! One shop stop for all your party needs.

    Party time!

    Why have I not reviewed this greater Cincinnati staple yet? If you love tasty libations, good cigars, or just love to throw parties, THIS is your festival for preparation. I actually worked here for ten years when I was younger and it has evolved GREATLY since then. The overall libation selection is much bigger than it was before especially after their expansion years ago. Looking for a good bottle of anything? You'll definitely find it here. Plus their staff are knowledgeable and can make great recommendations. Need a keg of good brew? They got you covered and they rent taps too. There's also a Mama Pompilio's Kitchen inside. The Party Source has so much to offer that it's almost overwhelming. No wonder it's been around for so long.

    Pete was super helpful as I was looking with helping me look for new Riesling wines to try since they didn't have Carl Graff and Fess Parker.

    (UPDATE at the bottom) Party Source is not what they used to be. When in the area to visit family, Party Source was one of our required visits. This year, we bought two bottles of Amarone, discounted for $39 each. We took the bottles from the walk in cooler expecting them to be properly preserved. Unfortunately, both were spoiled and extremely sour. The corks were broken and it seems something must have gone wrong in the storage and transport of this wine. We were extremely disappointed as we know this wine and had it on a trip to northern Italy. Party Source offered us a store credit of we bring the bottles back but since we don't live in the area, we are not able to bring the bottles back. Watch out for this wine if you are shopping for something special. Update: A big thank you to Micah for his quick and thorough response. We are changing to 5 stars for the 5 star customer service. Thanks again for the follow up.

    One of the best liquor stores around. Went Friday the 18th for markers mark tasting and tried more drinks than I expected to. I like that they have old cigar cases in the store that you can look at and pick up for free. They have just about every drink you could think of! Very convenient.

    I don't drink much but wanted to stop by and check out this spot as I was told this place has everything and is a huge liquor store. It sure is huge and has very wide selections of everything containing alcohol. I recently have been to Barcelona and the local beer in Barcelona "Estrella" was good so wanted to check if they had it. They did! It was nice to see the same beer that I had in Barcelona! I had a flight to catch and was not planning to check any bags so did not purchase anything but next time, I will definitely get a six pack!

    The selection in the store is unbelievable The staff were welcoming, courteous & helpful. The prices in the store were very competitive. An item I had purchased elsewhere cost a lot more so this store is very budget friendly. I also love that this store is 100% employee owned.

    Many times vis

    Many times a visitor and I was in the area so I did a stop. They are celebrating their 30th anniversary and there is construction going on inside; new flooring I'm told. We cane for bourbon and the selections are massive. Exotic Bourbon hunters may be disappointed but thats the only person that will. Come by when you are passing thru.

    We visited Party Source because it is supposed to be the largest liquor store in KY! They did have a huge collection and inventory, including some items I haven't seen before. Great tasting opportunities from local distributors rounded out a fun, by pricey, trip!

    Just in time for baseball season

    Wow. It is reportedly the Largest Liquor Store in America . No foolin', this place has EVERYTHING. I even tried a sample of Mezcal made with turkey, cranberries (Pechuga). Yes, free samples, knowledgeable staff and an unbelievable selection. Think of it as an educational experience while you shop...

    We can't go to Cincinnati without hitting up The Party Source! Whatever type of alcohol you need, you can find it here. Wine, separated by country. Liquor of all types...bourbon, whiskey, rum, vodka, gin. If you're looking for a certain type of alcohol, you can find it here. And you can find all sorts of mixers if you need them. As the name implies, the store has EVERYTHING you need for a party. Snacks, decorations, plates, napkins. They even sell home brewing equipment. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I can't recommend this store enough for your alcohol and party supply needs!

    Every time I've been there I have been treated well by staff, until today…read more I was on the middle of a transaction, or so I thought when the person waiting on me left to take care of others without a word. Apparently she thought I was done with my order. If she said something, it was under her breath and I didn't hear it. I had other items to purchase. I wait until everyone else is taken care of, about 10 to 15 minutes. Then asked if I can be helped by the same person that waited on me the first time. I told her that she was working in my order and then was told she was finished. Unfortunately I said a curse word when I said it would have been nice to have been told that. A Karen came over and without trying to see what the issue was immediately told me that if I'm going to curse, "you can get out of my store and we won't sell you anything else". Paid for my other order and was given attitude the entire time. She had this smart ass attitude and grin. I then told her I wouldn't be back and she said "good I have plenty of other customers". I was offered no help with my over $300 order to get it in my car, as has always been the case at this location. So I graded my items one at a time and left with a purposeful curse this time. "Adios MFers" ...followed by Karen again telling me to never shop there again, like she did something there. Not to worry. I followed DEP to this location and had been a regular customer for years. Never again. Should I have cursed ? Absolutely not. Should I have been confronted that way without any concern for the underlying issue? Also absolutely not. Karen needs to find a job not in a liquor store, maybe a day care so she does hear any curse words. Go somewhere else, Northern KY is full of great stores.

    Liquor store close to the hotel I was staying at. Just wanted a night cap and sit out at the patio…read moreat the hotel. So walked up and had exactly what I wanted. The guy was super friendly behind the counter.I did notice the great bourbon selections.

    I would recommend any other liquor store in the area before I recommended here. I was just there…read moretonight (5/31/24 - 6/1/24). This place left me feeling uncomfortable and I wasn't even the one patronizing the store. (Another party was and I happened to be the driver) I'm sharing a photo with an x marking the spot in where I parked. I'm an Uber driver, 27, and drove a grown woman to this shop. I picked her up at her home & her plan was to grab a drink and head back home since other stores were already closed near her in Ohio. We pulled in at 1:45 am. I parked in the corner away from the other cars so she could get in and out easier because parking is tight. She went in. I could hear some man yelling something when we pulled in but I didn't really pay attention to him. He's posted up by the door on a barstool drinking something out of a plastic cup. He starts staggering towards my car yelling something, my windows are up and I'm minding my business on my phone. I figured he was peddling something, I didn't want to get into a conversation. He gives up trying to get my attention and stumbled back to his barstool. apparently he's "security" or the lot attendant but I didn't know, nor was I trying to figure out who's around at this hour. Well, my rider came back to my car and walked up to my window and said can you move up to the front of the lot, he was trying to get your attention to move your car and they won't sell me anything until you do. Excuse me, what?! You won't sell anything to the woman because I'm parked where you don't want me to be? That doesn't make any sense. So I move up so she can go back inside and make her purchase. She was held up just for that... I don't know if it's a late night practice or what but it definitely showed how their business is ran and I will not shop there. I don't know why it matters. I could finally understand him being parked near him. I Just sat and watched him. He was slumped over on his stool, probably drunk, yelling at other drivers to park to the left of the door if they wanted service at the liquor store. Be weary of going here, especially at night.

    Kroger Liquor is quite fine by me. They don't do anything wrong it's just that they don't do…read moreanything better than other stores either. One of my qualms with them is their craft beer selection isn't spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. If your looking for anything out of the ordinary don't expect to find it here. The wine selection is fine. Again, it is mostly your basics plus a few surprises here and there. Liquor selection, well you know where I am going with this. Your basics plus a few random ones. I am not saying that this is a bad thing. In fact, if you are looking for a specific, well-known bottle of something you will find it here. Just don't expect to find niche items. The prices are fair and they sometimes offer blowout prices when they are trying to get rid of stuff. I've gotten $20 bottles of wine for $7.99 before so be on the lookout for those deals. The reason that I continually go here is the location. It is right off of the highway and located in a completely different building than the Kroger Marketplace. This means no crowd, no traffic, and no aggravation when you just want to run in and pick something up. I like this which is why I will keep coming back. The employees are always helpful. They know a lot about what they have in stock. If you ask for something they usually know exactly where you can find it which is nice. Overall, not terribly great selection-wise but their location, prices and friendly staff are more than worthy of three stars from me.
