There are currently 6 stores and on the family's 3rd generation of operating. Those 6 stores are located in Avon, Farmington, Glastonbury, Manchester, South Windsor, and Southington. This location in Avon is located on the busy route 44. I've driven by this place many times and was finally able to stop in. The parking lot was spacious. We were looking for ingredients to make Irish coffees for Thanksgiving. We found some of the ingredients easily and the prices were decent. They had a vast selection of wines, spirits, and beers. The people working there were friendly and helpful. Overall, a nice liquor store and will be back!

Pay as you go pours and tons of choices to taste?!!! I will definitely be going back.. Also, there was live music that played tight up to the very last minute!!! You go in, and they attach your charge card to a pour card. you put the card above the tap & it "opens" it for you to pour as much or as little as you like. I will go back and try the food and rate the atmosphere. I hope this idea catches on on the east coast.. it's great!

I had the kolsch from Schenker Beer Company. Great beer but pricey at nearly $11 in a suburban (leaning rural) area. Atmosphere was relaxed and plenty of seating for small and big groups. Plenty of parking. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Bottle Stop is right between the huge Avon Goodwill Store and an auto parts dealer, and truth be told it looks small and fairly unimpressive from the parking lot. But once you go inside you'll see that the store is actually quite large and the aisles seem to go on forever. Their beer section is enormous, filling both sides of an aisle from the front of the store to the back. They sell quite a few single bottles so you can be adventurous and create your own six packs. We went to the bargain wine section and walked away with a nice Pinot Grigio for $3.99. Wandering the aisles and checking out their big inventory made me pretty sure they would have whatever I might need from a liquor store.

The Bottle Stop seems to be under new ownership that seems to lack great or even good customer…read moreservice. It was a simple issue, take back empty bottles and cans in accordance with CT Bottle Bill. The first time I tried to return very clean cans I was told they had to be in boxes not bags. The bottle bill doesn't say that. So back I went with my cans in boxes, one box had whole cans and in the other box I had crushed cans. The owner then told me he would take them this time but next time they needed to be whole cans and not crushed. The bottle bill specifically says any place selling the cans needs to take them back whole or crushed they. The owner said he had his own store policy and didn't need to take returns of crushed cans. There are lots of beer, wine and liquor stores to choose from and great customer service is the difference.

It made it a fun shopping experience, how often does one see an Absolut bottle filled with basketballs? They have a good selection of Connecticut beer, and gift bags stationed nearby for an easy to assemble gift for the beer drinker in your life. I wasn't overly impressed by the prices, but the employees at checkout were perfectly polite. There is a parking lot near the entrance of the store, and handicapped parking right by the door. I would love to know how to get out to the light at the nearby car wash, otherwise the most accessible exits may have you waiting a decent amount of time (depending on the time of day) to turn left onto 202.

The store had a wide selection of hard liquor, wine, and beer to choose from. The prices were pretty comparable to other liquor stores nearby.

We find ourselves here quite often because it's local to us and convenient. Overall, a good spot to get some wine, beer, and liquor!
