A small neighborhood store that sells craft beer, wines, and spirits. The space isn't large, but…read morethey have a really good selection for the space they have. The people that work here have always been great too. It's been a while since my last visit, but I've been coming here for years. I've really only bought craft beer from here; maybe a bottle of whiskey or two. But the wine wall looks pretty stacked, including a lot of the natural wine, which seems to be pretty popular these days. Their craft beer selection even includes rarities that you don't usually see in the area, e.g. some beer I bought on this visit from Trillium located in Boston. There's also a counter where you can order a limited amount of drinks they have at any given time. The menu is located above the counter area. And on Friday nights I think they have food vendors that rotate. They even have a limited amount of grocery items for sale, but I always get distracted with the whiskey and beer - I look past the food items except for the doggy biscuits I bought for my friend this time. Definitely a great shop and a great spot for that stretch of Washington Boulevard.

This place has a cool, modern vibe while still keeping that neighborhood market feel. I really…read moreliked the variety of drinks, snacks, and unique finds they have on the shelves. It's one of those places where you walk in looking for one thing and end up browsing around because there's so much interesting stuff to check out. The layout is inviting, and everything feels thoughtfully selected rather than just the usual items you'd find at a regular liquor store. It's a great spot to pick up something for a get-together, grab a few treats, or discover something new. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

I think that's slightly a function of parking and how many people can actually be inside the store at once. But overall, this place should cover your craft beer, wine, and spirits needs. I've been going here for years. I went more frequently when my friends and I were meeting up more often to drink beers and whiskey, but I've been cutting back on the purchasing since we're not drinking as much. I still like to come by once in a while to see what they have on hand. My latest visit was to find a nice bottle of wine for someone's birthday. The gentleman in the store pointed me in the right direction. I always appreciate their help. In terms of parking, there's actually a parking lot in the back, but it's not huge. There's also some street parking nearby but the area could get a little busy.

I need an unusual gift for someone across the country and came across this local business. Not only was the person working there extremely helpful in terms of choosing the right liquor, he explained the gift packaging to me and told me about the history of the distillery. They even handled delivery for me. They were a pleasure work with. Next time I'm buying a bottle for myself ! read more

This place is amazing. If you're a whiskey drinker, and I'm talking good stuff (not your cheapo Evan Williams drinker), this is the place to go. Wonderful selection, it's like a kid in a candy store if you like good whiskeys. The people who work here are very knowledgeable on whiskeys too. I love this place. Try to swing by whenever I'm in the area. Great place for sure. read more

There is a reason why they have stock of booze you're looking for, because they're marking it up over 100+% and then some and no one is paying for it unless they need to. See my picture from totalwine when you look at their prices. They're a massive ripoff and just as bad as a typical convenience liquor store.

Whereas other wine shops with multiple locations will have you shop one location online, K&L have you shop all. You then find out your order isn't at the location you thought you were shopping at but will take weeks to get to you when you need it in days. When you go inside to get your order they also can be pretty rude. In other wine shops they have a pickup desk, here you aren't sure where to go. I asked an employee at a register where to pick up and he snapped when I'm done I'll help you. Once he was done he looked up my order and confirmed all bottles were there then just shouts " Next"! I'm just standing there with no wine so I ask are you getting my order? He snaps again " someone in the back is getting it". Very rude. After waiting 10 minutes another nice employee takes pity on me and asks my name and proceeds to pull my order in the back. No one was getting my order as the rude employee had said. The wines business isn't doing great these days and dealing with a rude employee isn't helping nor is a confusing online system. Note : at the tasting I did, I said I got the here and one of the participants said they are so rude there! Not everyone writes a poor review so I hope they take note. To Kate: thanks for the response. I think rather than having the customer check inventory at locations the website should and let customers know if it isn't available at the location you specified for pickup. I don't think you can message here? But I'll try again to shop there and I'm hoping the customer service improves.
