“I come here often. Don't see something? Ask. They will order it for you. The owner is very accommodating. Staff is always helpful and pleasant. The new Smoke Shop is excellent! Well done!”
“The owner is quite knowledgeable about the products he sells there. The owner also has stayed open a few minutes late to ensure that myself and other customers were able to purchase the items we needed at the last minute for holidays and other important events.”
“I haven't used big gary's in a few years because of the attitude in there. Well, I stopped in today and discover they have a certain type of liquor II like I brought it to the counter and asked the kid at the counter. Could he give me a receipt? Because there's a $5 off coupon with it. And it's $65, it's a $5 off is a big deal.Well, he wasn't happy over that gave me an attitude, and just it was like incredibly rude and obnoxious. He looks like he's 12 years old. Get somebody that's polite to the customers. Will you please?”
“The staff - namely Krupa & Brandie are amazing!! Krupa went out of her way to try to help me purchase something I was looking for. She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable & professional! Brandie, also was so courteous & helpful for me. These two are the BEST! I recommend Putnam Spirits to everyone! Thank you Krupa & Brandie!”
“The new owners are doing a great job! Lots of updates going on, new coolers, etc. Very welcoming and helpful. Very glad they are keeping up with the smaller craft producers, including ciders. As someone who doesn't drink beer at all, the selection fo ciders is very appreciated!”

“I stopped in recently and was greeted by a very pleasant clerk.... I believe her name is Jennifer. Small store, but they had what I was looking for at the same price as another big store in town with less friendly clerks.
Customer care is so important. Great job!”
“The wine selection is wonderful. The store is so clean, store hours work around everybody's needs, and the staff is so kind. Honestly, it's a diamond in the rough.”
“Great selection of everything, I'm always disappointed when I go somewhere else because this place has everything. Everyone is always super friendly and there's always good music playing when I go in.”
“Friendly helpful staff that are always willing to make a suggestion. This is a big clean well lit store. They have a large selection of wine and spirits. They also have a good selection of domestic and craft beer including several local breweries. We recently were in the store looking for an inexpensive tequila to make a holiday margarita. Not knowing anything about tequila, we asked for some assistance with our selection. The staff were very helpful and took the time to explain the different brands, grades, and price points. We were able to make an informed decision based on their recommendation and were completely satisfied with the end result.”
“Great small family business. All employees are always friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for and if they don't have it they will order it for you.”
“Great local beer, wine and spirits store (THC / CHD drinks as well)! Exterior building size does not match to the amazing variety of products this store has to offer. They recently expanded the interior space for more great products!”
“Nice selection of wine. Counter people ate exceptional and knowledgeable. Looks a little rough from the outside, but the people make this a great place. Easy access too!”
