Impressive selection in the space Friendly, forthcoming,…read morehelpful staff Convenient location Some family recently moved to Danielson and I spotted this place on the commute to and from a few times and didn't stop in. After a little while, that family member brought some Arrogant Bastard Ale for me from Friendly Spirits and I thought I needed to give the place a try. I finally got (and took) my chance. Delighted I did. The store isn't very large, but they're prudent with what they stock. Wines were plentiful in what they deem their "Wine Country," sorted and signed helpfully. Beers are available cold or in their warm shelf segment for specialties. Liquor is in a few runs of aisles like any store. The staff was very forthcoming and eager to assist, which I appreciated, even as I was just getting the lay of the land. Prices were fair - they know what they're doing and charge accordingly. There were a few deals in the wine section, and bonus points for carrying several less-common beers in singles on the top shelf of their coolers at reasonable costs. I walked away with a Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin, Captain Lawrence Imperial IPA, Abita SOS Pilsner, and a Pike Naughty Nellie (all bombers), and a great first impression of Friendly Spirits. I'll be back as frequently as family commitments allow, definitely.

Yankee Spirits is a wine & spirits store that opened in Sturbridge, Massachusetts in 1971. The…read moreliquor superstore is one of the largest in New England and carries a wide selection of wine, spirits, beer, hard cider, and mead at very competitive prices. As of 2026, there are additional locations in Attleboro, Norwood, and Swansea. I recently made a trip to Yankee Spirits while I was passing through the Sturbridge area. I have visited before, but this was my first visit in about six years or so. They have an absolutely enormous selection of alcoholic beverages, but I was only interested in exploring their very impressive selection of craft beer. I don't make it to this area very often, so I was most looking forward to see if they carried anything that's either hard to find or just totally unavailable in my home area of New Haven, Connecticut. I spent maybe a half hour just walking down the aisles and seeing what all of the options were. Afterwards, I was ready to begin shopping. I ended up purchasing a pretty sizable haul which should keep my refrigerator full for a while. Most of the beers I grabbed were rare barrel-aged stouts, but I also picked out a few IPAs and other various styles that no longer get distribution in my home area. If you're looking for a serious selection of excellent craft beer, wine, or spirts in New England then look no further than Yankee Spirits!

I was specially looking for a certain beer and when I couldn't find it I almost gave up and walked out. Just then Charlie approached me and asked if he could help me find something. I told him they didn't have what I was looking for. He then walked back with me and helped me find the beer I was looking for in a variety pack, which was actually better. He was so friendly and also carded me and said I looked much younger than my real age so he gets bonus points for that! Glad I didn't give up and will be back just to give Charlie more business.

In high school, we'd often stop there in the mornings to stock up on Jolt cola and other necessities. I have very fond memories of this litle store. I stopped in to pick up some booze on my way to my parent's house for a visit. I hadn't been in there in years and I was greeted by a bright, clean, modern-looking space. A major upgrade from the dingy decor of yesteryear. However, and maybe it's just because there's more space now, the store looked practically empty to me. There was only one or two of everything on the shelves which just made it look depressing. And, any store that calls itself a package store should have a decent booze selection, which sadly, this place did not. I wanted red zinfandel for me and blue curacao to make my mom "that magic blue drink you made me this summer" as she called it and neither were to be found. Sooooooo, 2 stars for the less than adequate selection of booze and an extra star for the upgrades to the store.
