Would not recommend. Terrible experience with an older man there. Walked in with my friend (20yo) who was helping me carry my jacket+backpack. When I showed my license at the register, the guy got so mad that my friend was with me and yelled at us about how it's massachusetts law that we can't enter the store and we need to get out now. He said that it's absolutely not up for discussion. Tbh I was mostly just surprised and said that it was fine and walked out.?????????????????I get it if they have personal rules for that store but geeeez calm down

Small in-town packie, one of the longest standing businesses in Amherst Center. Friendly and informed staff, clean and reasonable prices. Not enough space for huge selection but manages to have just about everything one way or another. If you're in town, its right there. Give Russell's a try.

A very nice liquor store now that I am of age to go in and buy something for myself, I mentioned not having a wallet and inquired on where to maybe buy one, and was given one out of the lost and found here. I think wallets and liquor go well together hand in hand ?Thank you

BEWARE- There are a few shady people who work here who have overcharged me for my purchase without offering me a copy of my receipt, then when I ask for the receipt I have to then ask for a refund. They also have a faulty ID scanner that scans verified valid ID’s as fakes, but refuse to replace the scanner and instead confiscate customer’s personal property. They know their scanner is broken but refuse to replace it- a really awful, neglectful way to treat customers and an unwelcoming, untrustworthy business all around.

Visiting a friend and needed a gift, so I popped in. They kept their eye on me as a POC. I will never come back here. Seemed nice from the outside at first, but was unwelcoming and uncomfortable. I'd rather go to any other liquor store out there and don't want others to have the same experience as me. It was not nice.

It's a small store so the selection is naturally limited. The owner gave me top notch recommendations. Love this kind of local store and am happy to support them!

This liqour store seems,at first glance, to have a pretty good selection of wine and spirits. However, I've bought around 5 bottles of wine on recommendation of the owner, and they have alll been quite bad. The problem is, I assume, that the shop caters mostly to college students who buy beer and cheap spiritis. The wines sit there longer than they should, and they are genreally over-priced. I bought a bottle of wine on recommendation of the owener for 25 USD to commemorate the return of a friend, but the wine had gone bad and tasted like a weird portwine. When I came back to the store and told about my experience, the owner just told me to bring the botlle back next time. He didnt offer any excuse or compensation for the expired, expensive bottle. Unfortunately, my impression of the whole wine selection is that they are low quality wines (mostly rated below 3,5 at vivino) at a blown-up price. I would only recommend bying beer here. I will unfortunately not come back for wine.
