“We had a great night at Lucille’s! It was my first time, and I was nervous as someone who doesn’t love wine. I was so excited when I loved 3 out of 4 of the tasting wines! We got the premium cheese boards and enjoyed the variety of different cheeses and meat. Best of all, the staff was amazing and friendly and went out of their way to help you, ask if you want pictures, need more wine / snacks, etc. I’m looking forward to another trip !”
“Hillsides is a cosy store I’ve been visiting for years. They have a variety of beer and wine on shelf i got several great recommendations for trying new brands. Good services and walk-in experience.”
“Mostly you are always served by the owner that means that they always serve you in the best way, the employees are friendly, charismatic ?? they sell alcohol in many places but this one they serve you very well ?”
“Basic sandwiches done well and in a cute retro general store vibe. And right next to their bakery/cafe so whether you like breakfast, lunch, or brunch, can do whatever you want.
I like their seasonal drinks like strawberry lemonade and excited to see what else they offer at different times.”
“Great wine selection and always something new to try. Ask the staff as they are super knowledgeable and helpful. You’ll find lots of small growers and uncommon vineyards with peoples favorites too.”
“I used to drive all the way to Portsmouth NH to the State liquor & Wine outlet...well no more! I get the same assortment of a dozen bottles of wine every two weeks. Not only is my bill considerably smaller but I've saved myself more than an hour drive. If looking for suggestions there's always a knowledgeable person on the floor to speak with. AND they have a huge walk-in cooler of beer selection.”

“If you are looking for an understated place to find fantastic organic wine without the pretentiousness and the high prices, this is your place. The wife and I sampled and took home several bottles. Amazing experience.”
“Cork and Board is a fabulous addition to Newton Center. We are very fond of Ryan Gott, the owner, as he helps us personally each time we visit. He now knows us and tells us wines and beers we might enjoy accordingly. We also like the food selection and the gift section. We always find something fun (and delicious!) to take home. Definitely check this place out.”

“Only did a brief walk by, but looked in good condition. Don’t really see the practicality though because one can’t bring beer from outside Fenway into Fenway. Suppose if one wants to drink a lot before the game and get nice and drunk that would make sense.
Kid-friendliness: Very Friendly. They let the kids have a sip or two or three or four from what I saw from the window.”
“Theyve got everything you need including premium cigars packed from the manufacturers in plastic humidor travel bags that I just realized in the last month after a couple yrs., the best prices in town, & the best price Ive found anywhere on what was already my favorite cigar--Perdomo Champagne. The storefront is tight but the selection is impeccable, they own the whole bldg. & I'd say theyve got about 8x the storage space, & the whole staff is gr8. Id drive elsewhere if I thought another store were better, & if I move outta the neighborhood I'll still patronize this shop.”
“Excellent collection of good whiskies and wines. They helped me select an excellent bottle of single malt for a gift and I found a very rare bottle of wine which was very hard to find.”
“This is a clean place with a good variety of wines, especially biodynamic and unfiltered types. Friendly employees. Though I did notice a few items that were a few dollars more than I've seen elsewhere, the majority of the prices didn't seem out of the ordinary. Overall, a nice little neighborhood shop.”
“I stopped in here purely based on searching for wine bars around Boston South Station. I wanted to kill time before my Amtrak home after a conference. And this place was one of the best spontaneous stops I've made in a long time!
The wine was great, the people were fun, and the dog welcomes you like you've lived there forever. Beautiful place to enjoy a wine (or two) after a long day. They also had a well stocked wine bottle shop attached, if you need something to go.”
“Love this place, every time I'm visiting my dad ,in Winthrop, that's my first stop for Cold beer and Mike knows how play my lottery tickets from Ohio for me”
“Great store for specialty spices, herbs, oils, and seasonings and foods. Great selection of wines and fine spirits! Employees are friendly and personable and willing to help with any questions, or thoughts you may have about any of there products. I was impressed with there selection of multiple types of hot sauses! Left the store with two hot sauses and some hot honey!! Check them out if your in the area!”
“I’m in Sydney Australia. Found Bauer Wine and Spirits online when I was looking for a Boston retailer to send a gift to a Boston friend for her wedding. Service was great: communicated with me to confirm details and the delivery was made quickly.”
“Good selection of spirits, and they have several store picks that vary throughout the year and are worth checking out. Should have several available for sampling at any given time that allow you to try before committing. We are a bit spoiled for choice locally, but this is certainly a store worth visiting if you're in the area.”
“You can’t tell me you got the best liquor ? store around your area’s, the best liquor store ask them hennything they got it. Whenever you go in there ask for santos best teller can’t miss him.”
“Not the best location, but awesome place!
Great selection of liquors, and some that I can’t find at other places, also good prices. I always stop here when I’m in the area.”
“Web searching local champagnes lead me here and first time visiting. Very nice wine and cheese and more. Very nice and wide selection of RM growers Champagnes, largest I have seen around here. Impressive. Was able to talk with the kind and knowledgeable in-house wine guru, and heard some nice recommendations of Blanc de Noirs, and picked Eric Rodez Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs for a special celebration. Enjoying every gold drop of it. Thank you very much for the recommendation! Will definitely visit again for another Blanc de Noir bottle.”

“Nice local store front establishment. Has a decent selection of wines and spirits available for the size of the store. Plenty of beer etc to fill your alcoholic shopping needs. Parking is super easy with the public lot across the street. Prices are reasonable for a small shop.”

“This is my all-time favorite store!! The new owner has changed the store around to make it so much easier to find what I’m looking for. The workers are super friendly and helpful anytime I have a question, and the store is always stocked and clean. GREAT PRICES! You can’t go wrong here!”
“Friendly neighborhood liquor store. Staff here is always helpful and super reliable. I've purchased a few recommendations and enjoyed them. Store is clean and organized. Prices are pretty good, although not as low as the super stores, but you cannot beat the convenience and service here.”
“Definitely a high end wine shop where you'll find excellent Bordeaux, Burgundy & California wines. But don't let that intimidate you, the staff is welcoming, courteous, highly professional and eager to help anyone who walks in the door. You'll find wines from all around the world. My favourite section is the selection of low cost ($13) wines. They're all good! Some are regular staples you can expect to find year round, but there's plenty of turnover to try some unusual selections. And to top it off, buy 12 bottles and get the store discount! Finally, I suggest dropping by on a Saturday afternoon for their in-store wine tasting.”
“This shop is very clean and pleasant, with a wide variety of unique wines I haven't seen anywhere else.However, although I know that the specific organization of the shop by "weight" of wine is the intended feature, it's not super helpful for finding specific bottles yourself. Fortunately, the employees were friendly and helpful, so asking wasn't a real chore.Overall, a great place to find something new and different!As an aside: another reviewer mentioned the stickers on the bottle - but the employee at the register peeled them off for me at checkout before I'd even noticed they were there! So perhaps someone just forgot in his case. And it looked very easy to peel them off anyway, so not a big deal in my book.”

“Good price and super nice owner and very good employees. Never screwing around, there there at counter to ring you up with a smile. Best liquor store in saugus. Only kappys has bigger selection locally. Of all the independent stores it's biggest selection and best price. Store is very clean also. I strongly support and encourage this place”
“I like this mom and pop shop. Great selection of local craft beer and nearly everything you need in a convenient location if you're in Charlestown or East Cambridge. Prices are a little steep but I don't mind supporting a mom and pop. Friendly service and helpful people. Highly recommend!”
