“Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wide selection of wines and spirits. Prices for wine start at $14-$15 per bottle. There are a few between $10 - $13.
They do not carry wines from larger wineries”
“Fantastic experience. Great selection and customer service. Family owned business, the son, I forgot to get his name, was an awesome help assisting me finding everything I needed and even helping me load the car. Will absolutely be going back”
“Really should be 6 stars…The Host knows his drinks, friendly and welcoming. We are from just down the street but it would be worth a longer drive. A real “go to” destination.”
“All of the workers at Westfield are great, but the owner Manny, always seems to go out of his way to get what you want if they don't carry a certain product.”
“The owner or store clerk was very nice on helping me find what I needed for a delivery instacart delivery one day. I didn't get your name but thank you sir.Side bar: Sucks I had to poor out that aged whiskey that day smh :) + :(”
“Great costumer service here was amazing. Had a friendly conversation before we even made it to the register. It wasn't like most places where it's silence until you pay”
“Stopped by the store for the first time to pick up some Bourbon. Staff was incredibly helpful amd they had a nice selection at reasonable prices. I'll definitely be stopping by again.”
“Best liquor store I've ever been to!!! The prices are extremely reasonable and he will give you free stuff once you become a regular the guy is so friendly he makes you feel like you are right at home!!!!! Best store ever I refuse to go anywhere else...... You just can't go wrong at east side liquor. You just can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????”
“Family owned and operated, which is great to see these days! They are all always very pleasant and helpful. They have a pretty good variety and are usually willing to get certain items for you if they can. This is def our go to spot!”
“They have a large selection of wines and liquors for such a small store, beer variety is wide for what they can fit inside the cooler. The guys who work here are very kind and will do whatever they can to help a customer. Also open till 10pm Thurs-Sat which is great as many other stores near the area are not.”
“Ives is the most convenient and friendly liquor store. My favorite is when they ask their “this or that” questions, it’s personable, fun and inviting. Ives is the BEST!”
“We just finished a wine tasting tonight and found some new wines to try. What's so great about this wine store is their willingness to expose you to new wines that are out there. Instead of the same old wine you buy at a Costco or other wine stores; you get to sample wines from all over the world during their bi monthly wine tasting events. Staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about their wines from where they are grown to the types of grapes they are made from. The place is not flashy but the selection and the prices are awesome. Give it a visit. You won't be sorry.”
“Great people running the place always polite and helpful never with the judging face most places give ...this is one of my must stops for weekend gathering needs”
“Absolutely 100% recommend this spot to any craft beer drinker! The walk in fridge is loaded with local beers from CT and surrounding states. The owner is super helpful and goes out of his way to make sure you have what you’re looking for. Check these guys out if you live in the area!”
“Single craft can collection is amazing. They have other half, Toppling Goliath, Equilibrium, New Park, Omnipollo, Weldworks, Timber Ales and the list goes on. The owner knows his stuff too and is helpful with suggestions. Definitely worth checking out if in the area.”
“I'm a little clusterphobic in the shop. However, I'm always able to find what I'm looking for here. The liquor and spirits are very affordable. Clerks are always willing to help if needed, and I'm appreciative this shop is around the corner.”
“The shop is such a great selection, and the owners super friendly and knowledgeable. I've been in the area a few times passing through to see family and I've always found a great bottle or two to take with me. I even found one of my favorite wine makers, Whitehall Lane, which you don't see in most shops.”
“Our local is our most favorite liquor store! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and if they don't have an item, they will order it. They are the BEST!!”
“Sammy is the Best!! I've been going to this store for the past 15+ years! All the staff is very friendly and Sammy has always been very helpful & knowledgeable when selecting wines and liquors.”
“My favorite liquor store. What does that say about me?! Discussion for another time. I'll go out of my way to go to S&P. If they don't have something I want, they'll get it. I'm always looking for recommendations and ideas, they have the answer. When my nephew told me about peanut butter whiskey, I was so intrigued and couldn't wait to try it! It's made by screwball! So when I asked "my guy" at S&P about it, he said all of CT was a-buzz about this whiskey and due into the state December 1st. . Unless I wanted to drive to NY or NH, I had to wait. So wait I did and on that first Tuesday of December, my guy had the case of screwball in the back of the store, waiting for me to come and get my bottle(s)! I should have about 30 check-ins here, again, what does that say about me, but moving forward...”
“I’ve been coming to Speros since 2008. Great neighborhood wine and spirit store. The staff treats you in a way that makes you feel appreciated for giving them your business.”
“Very happy that they carry Romanian wine but the salesperson didn't know so I had to search by myself. Good European beer selection also! Definitely coming back! Very casual ambiance and service was pleasant.”
“Great local small business in Middletown on South Main Street. Although not the biggest store, they have pretty much everything you'd want and they have the lowest prices around and the owners are very nice and helpful.”

“Small package store but has a lot of variety and the associates are awesome great customer service they can find what u need if they don't have it highly recommended”
“The prices are fair they seem to stay open later than other package stores around the area it's kind of small but they have a large selection it's usually busy a lot sometime you could be waiting a few minutes to purchase whatever you came in for very small parking lot maybe enough space for one or two cars so expect the problem on the street most of the time it's in a high traffic area so it can be crowded most of the time and it can be hard finding a place to park but as I said it stay open later than a lot of other surrounding places that sell alcohol so that's a plus if you looking for a decent selection in fair price and don't mind sometime having to wait a few minutes in line it's not that long you know you see under 5 minutes depending on how busy it is they're usually right behind the counter at all times”
“Nice liquor store very friendly staff nice well lit establishment. Huge selection of whisky’s and Vodka’s. Great collections of wines both popular and new! Right but major highways who can complain lol follow @bryanalfredmusic on IG”
