We stopped in for a bottle of wine to take back to the room (Steamboat Inn is steps away!!!) and were delighted to find such a logical selection, wide in both well known (and some obscure) brands… just not deep (maybe five bottles per) which makes sense.Blown away by the number of exotic bitters in stock. What a friendly bunch!

I wanted to surprise my husband with some tasty local CT beers, and Jules and the team went above and beyond. SO knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Their recommendations were spot on. I can't recommend them enough!!

Friendly liquor store with very helpful staff. They have wine tastings here as well. Parking is an issue in Mystic during tourist season though.

They have a huge selection of liquor and wine. Whenever I am Mystic I stop by to stock up on whiskeys that I have a hard time finding at home.

We attended another wine dinner hosted by Spencer & Lynn’s at The Essex restaurant. Each course and wine pairing was amazing. Both Chef Colt and Wine expert David presented each course throughout the evening- they complemented each other perfectly. We purchased a number of the paired wines from S&L immediately following the dinner. Highly recommend you attend one of their events. Last week, we visited one of the S&L stores (Mystic). Great selection and extremely knowledgeable staff.

Spencer and Lynn is a great shop to have within walking distance. They do an amazing job finding great wines, spirits, and beers, and charge a fair price.We’ve been walking in for years with odd requests (in my case, the Cycling Podcast’s wine recommendations for the Grand Tours), and the stewards in the shop always come through with great recommendations.The most recent visit was great - I’d seen a dude walking out with a hard-to-find but amazeballs beer, so stuck my head in. The Steward hooked me up, and remembered I’d been in during cyclocross season last year for Belgian beers, and said they’d be increasing their stock over the cooler months.

RUDE employee and I am DISGUSTED!! Well to begin, my 16 yo daughter and I stopped in Mystic as tourists on a road trip. As we walked around the town, I decided to stop in and see what wines were locally offered. There was a very original selection. As I went to pay for 2 bottles at the register, the female sales clerk with reddish hair asked for ID for both of us “ladies.” I informed her that my daughter is a minor. She’s not purchasing wine or consuming it. She VERY, VERY rudely refused my purchase and kicked us out like I was some sort of a delinquent. I was speechless.First of all, being from out of state, I would have no idea this is rule in CT. Secondly, I was beyond insulted in HOW she spoke to me. I am a successful adult and her attitude was both largely inappropriate and insulting. I suggest your business screen people at the door if you are that worried about a minor being in store with a parent. ESP since it is such a populated tourist area. Obviously, families are walking around. I will be informing all of my family, friends, and colleagues back home to avoid this shop when or if they ever visit Mystic. No one needs to deal with such ignorance when on vacation!! It’s Just Ridiculous!

As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by friendly smiles and what I found to be extremely knowledgable staff. Not sure if they hire sommeliers or if they are just well versed, but their recommendations were spot on. They asked what I liked to drink, at the time I was into Montepulciano and anything Napa. They went in the opposite direction, and recommended wines from regions I never thought to seek out for those flavors. Such a great experience, and I'll definitely be going back.

This is not your average package store! There is extremely friendly & knowledgeable staff ready to help you with almost any question you have about any product. They specialize in bringing in products with small distribution, organic practices, biodynamic growing, and ethical work environments for the employees behind each product and their facilities. You can tell the owners and staff of this place truly care about what they’re selling. You get an almost candy shop mixed with library vibe from the store as everything is so well organized and enticing. They offer written descriptions on some of the wines so you know what to expect from different bottles. The whiskey selection is incredible with even some unicorns for people who are searching for additions to their own magnificent collections. They even have private barrel whiskeys from well known names that you can’t get anywhere else in the world!! I also truly appreciate their craft beer selection and walk in cooler that offers single craft beers and even cold canned mead which I’ve never seen anywhere else before. There’s a reason (or many reasons) this store was named number one liquor store in CT and it shows as soon as you step through the door…unless you’re not 21 and/or don’t have an ID to actively purchase alcohol…in which case staff are very attentive and have a 0 tolerance policy for people trying to surpass the law. (As they should!!!) All in all this is a liquor store/specialty wine shop out of my dreams and can be a dangerous place for my wallet because I want so many things. Although don’t get me wrong, you can still find $11 wines here that are absolutely amazing!!!!
