    Good E.

    I am a snobby non-alcoholic. I always love to find cool drinks. This was one of the non-alcoholic wine options they offered and although it is a bit pricey at $25 a bottle it was delicious! Even my sister who loves a nice glass of sparkling rose was impressed! We need more brands like this and more stores and bars to carry please!

    A virtual tasting with wine makers from Napa
    Meg K.

    Urban Grape was the MVP of my Covid spring. I'm so grateful I had the chance to virtually meet Lydia and the UG crew as they guided me to tastings with makers all over the world. Early in quarantine, I found out about the UG's experimental new virtual tasting format. I didn't know anything about wine, but wanted to learn more-- and what better time? I ordered the Drink Progressively book (authored by Urban Grape's founders, TJ and Hadley) and attended the first tasting, where we learned about wine, the Progressive scale, and how to chill out and have fun with your wine. It was awesome and I immediately signed up for more classes. The format is great: classes and wines are listed online a few weeks in advance. Pick what you like and sign up for contact-free delivery (or pick up), and like magic, wine appears at your door and the wine maker appears on your screen. Classes vary depending on the wine maker: sometimes you learn more about the process and this type of wine, other times it's more of a story about the vineyard or winemaker themselves. My favorite was a Lambrusco maker who zoomed in from Italy. Beyond these solo tastings, you can also arrange a private class for groups like professional organizations or your work team. I had the pleasure of working with Lydia on two very different formats, one where the priority was budget and the other where some wine aficionados in the group had a lot of input into the planing. Both tastings were excellent and such a fun team building experience! I can't recommend Urban Grape highly enough, and hope you'll be able to sample some of their epic wines soon.

    The set-up at the "Beer for wine lovers" tasting
    Megan B.

    The Urban Grape is a great new addition to the South End. My first visit to the store was this past Sunday for a beer and food pairing session called 'Beer for Wine Lovers'. We sampled 5 different kinds of beer and ate mini dishes prepared by the Mei Mei food truck. While we sampled everything, we learned a little foodie knowledge about the beer, how to pair it with food, and the best glassware to use. For only $20 it was a good amount of food and a fun Sunday night activity. The store has a trendy and open atmosphere with a lot of space for group tastings. They mentioned hosting a birthday party there last weekend. Just by passing the store I wouldn't normally think to shop there because it looks pretty fancy. Since my palate can't tell the different between a $100 bottle and Charles Shaw I tend to stick with cheaper wines. But, they mentioned that they had a big selection of wines in the $8 to $15 dollar range, which is a huge plus for me. I had a great time at the event and enjoyed learning more about their products so I plan to look for future tastings and events here.

We happened upon it across from the train station. The selection was decent,and it WAS funny to see a Dunkin Donuts counter there. I don't know the area but I am sure the reason for this is the train station across the street. Some people like having a coffee place for convenience either before boarding a train or right getting off a train. Anyway, we found a selection (a red, don't remember what kind)and had no problems being 'followed' as people of color in the area. For a selection and nice store I'm compelled to only 3 stars, as we were not offered help with our purchase.

I then had to ask for a Powerball slip from the store clerk/cashier. I find that odd. Why are they not on display? After that I decided to buy a couple of scratch tickets. When I started to scratch the guy then says oh we don't do scratching in here or something like that! I have NEVER been in ANY place big ,small, gas station, convenience store and liquor store that has acted like this! There also were barely any selections of tickets. That was not the case years ago. The old clerks were nice! It's real simple. If you don't want to provide proper lottery services, why did you become an agent? I haven't been ever since.

This place is your above-average corner quick mart. Three-and-a-half stars might be more appropriate. A bit more spacious, a bit more well lit, and a bit cleaner than one would normally expect - this place starts out above par but add the beer and wine license and it definitely pushes it well above convenience store mediocrity. You won't be wowed by anything in here - there is nothing too unusual or exceptional, however it is large enough to offer a bit of a wider selection. No one is very friendly here however service certainly isn't rude or poor, and while you may be able to count on some cross-eyed looks from Keno patrons, it never extends to the point of feeling uncomfortable. And the prices are pretty much fair market. Yes, your Lean Cuisine and Ben & Jerry's may cost you more than they would at Stop & Shop, but not exorbitantly so. And who expects big-box prices from a corner store? All in all, I am happy to have a place where I can leave my kitchen and be contentedly back there with some last-minute cream for coffee, milk for cereal, or wine for dinner all in under ten minutes and twenty bucks. Better still that it's coming from a clean, safe, small neighborhood business.

    they need to put price tags so that I don't keep going back and forth I love going to there store…read moreeveryday but they need price tags. I don't want to go to a different store just to get what I want to get. I love it and all but they really need a price tags on there items.

Typical overpriced liquor store in an expensive part of Boston in the west suburbs right off of Commonwealth. I don't drink so I don't care how overpriced it is - I just came here for some water. But if you're coming here for liquor, it might be a little out of your price range. Then again you're on Yelp so you're probably not poor. Lol.

Prices are on the expensive side, but fairly standard for Harvard Square prices. They have the customary selection of beers, wines, liquors, and mixers, but they also have a section of Harvard apparel (like T-shirts, sweatshirts) and Harvard memorabilia (like keychains, mugs, coasters, etc), so it is a great place to also pick up some souvenirs while you are shopping for your beer! I also like that they sell accessories to complement your drinking, like plastic martini glasses and plastic shot glasses for a party. Their hours online might not necessarily reflect when you are able to buy alcohol. I walked in after 11pm one night and even though they were still open, I was told that they cannot sell alcohol after 11pm (not sure if that is only on specific nights or if this is a nightly rule).
