“When ever we are in Worcester, we make a point to stop in.
Excellent food in there.
We particularly love their marinated sirloin steak tip... perfect for the grill.
Nit to mention their Excellent wine selection.”
“Come for the selection, stay for the birds. This place has been an community oasis for decades. If it's on your way home and you need some beer, some milk, and some diapers... You can get it all here.”
“Giulia was AMAZING! Love coming here with my girls Fridays after long days at work , the wine tasting beautiful as Always walking out with something new & tasty! Definitely a place for good authentic vibes also the platter very tasty !!! until next time ‘ !”
“A&B Liquor is one of those places that sticks with you long after you’ve moved on or changed your routine. Looking back on the time I spent shopping here, what stands out the most is the incredible staff behind the counter. They are genuinely nice, friendly, and remarkably intuitive. If you’re in the mood to chat, they are wonderfully conversational, but if you’re having a quiet or tough day, they offer a completely nonjudgmental space and just let you shop in peace. That level of empathy and customer service is rare.
Beyond the welcoming atmosphere, their selection is fantastic. They keep all the reliable basics perfectly stocked—from everyday wines and beers to standard hard liquors—while always having an awesome variety of new things to try if you want to branch out.
Even if you only drop in occasionally, this is a phenomenal, community-minded business in Worcester that deserves all the support.”
“So many options! It's very easy to be overwhelmed, thankfully the staff here is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, especially Peri! What a valuable resource, I learned so much from her!”
“They have a large variety of items. The bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin was really good however the top English muffin was very small for some reason. The owners are very friendly and nice.”
“Best liquor store in the area. Seriously, if you're an enjoyer of alcohol you should at least visit this store. And that kid that works there, Sam, is really great. Very helpful. And the older blonde woman that works there, I think her name is Donna, is a sweetheart! Great store, reasonable prices.”
“Local liquor store with a decent variety of local beers. The tall boys are a little overpriced but that just may be the area. Anyway it's a good little liquor store that has a variety of alcoholic beverages. Surely something here for everyone no matter what their preference.”
“Great selection, friendly staff, and fair prices – this place has it all. Whether you're looking for a specific brand or just browsing for something new, the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. The store is clean and well-organized, making it easy to find what you need. Definitely my go-to spot for all my beverage needs.”
“Huge fan of 7 star liquors. It’s always nice going to a new liquor store especially one that is freshly renovated. The customer service was great, I needed help finding a specific bottle of bourbon and they were able to find it for me. Highly recommend 7 star liquors if you’re a local or near the area.”
“I actually went to Perry's inside of Ted's to get Grinders for a family gathering ! There was 6 different kind of grinders ! Not one complaint ! The Help was Fabulous,very Efficient ! I will recommend Perry's grinders to everyone ! Thanks Very Much ?”
“Convenient, friendly, cheap, and good quality. They have a wide variety of options for everything from wines to whiskeys to liqueurs, even having been one of the few places I found green chartreuse. Their prices are also pretty good. Significantly lower than some of the other liquor stores close by. Definitely check them out if you’re in need of some alcohol and happen to drive down 146-South.”
“Their variety is quite robust for such a small place. They only lack many non-alcoholic beers but that is irrelevant compared to the great import selection. Friendly staff and great pricing as well.”
“This particular liquor store has a large variety of alcoholic beverages both cold and warm on the shelf. VinnyC's sells whiskey, rum, wine, beer, spirits and so much more. If you are in the local area and looking for a liquor store that has a great selection / variety of alcoholic beverages including alcoholic beverages other smaller liquor stores may not carry try VinnyC's. The prices are spot on and competitive.
My only recommendation is for the owner(s) to consider some remodeling . This would give the store a newer feel / vibe. Even updating the floor carpeting would be nice. Other than that great place with zero issues.”
“Gala Foods Supermarket in Worcester is one of those rare places that restores your faith in what a grocery store — and a community — can be. Every visit feels refreshing, abundant, and full of warmth. The energy here is bright yet gentle: colorful aisles, inviting lighting, and signage that feels caring rather than loud. Everything looks fresh, tastes vibrant, and is priced so fairly that you can shop with both joy and peace of mind.
My favorite part of Gala Foods has always been the deli — truly one of the best in all of Worcester (and I say that as a former deli worker!). Their sandwiches are made with love and precision, bursting with flavor and generosity.
I especially want to recognize Alfred, one of the deli staff members, who consistently went above and beyond. His kindness, humor, and genuine attentiveness turned an ordinary lunch stop into something special. He treated us not just like customers, but like guests, and you could tell he takes pride in making food that touches people’s hearts.
What stands out most about Gala Foods is the culture of care that shines through every person there. The whole team radiates friendliness and sincerity — it’s clear that leadership has created an environment where people love what they do and love who they work with. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it’s felt in every smile and every fresh, delicious bite.
The selection of Latin American foods is also outstanding — diverse, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can feel the pride and cultural richness that Gala Foods brings to the community.
Every time I left Gala Foods, I felt nourished not only in body but in spirit. I’m so grateful this place exists — it’s a true gem in Worcester and a reflection of everything good about food, people, and community.
If I could give more stars, I would.”
“Really good Lstore for its size.Stuff is really nice and hepfull.Plenty of parking and there are businesses in close proximity. Like pizza place , barber , wallgrins etc.”
“When ethanol enters the human body, its metabolism begins mainly in the liver through the action of alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde, a highly reactive and toxic compound. Acetaldehyde is then further processed by aldehyde dehydrogenase, which converts it into acetic acid. Acetic acid is a much less harmful molecule that can be funneled into central metabolic pathways. Specifically, acetic acid is converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle, contributing to the generation of ATP, the cell’s main energy currency. However, alcohol metabolism is energetically inefficient; while it does yield some ATP, the process also generates excess NADH, altering the cellular redox balance. This imbalance inhibits normal pathways such as gluconeogenesis and fatty acid oxidation, which explains why heavy drinking often leads to fat accumulation in the liver. Additionally, the buildup of acetaldehyde contributes to hangover symptoms and long-term liver damage if exposure is repeated. Thus, although ethanol can be oxidized to produce energy in the form of ATP, the toxic intermediates and metabolic disruptions make alcohol metabolism a significant biochemical stress on the human body.”
“Great collection of scotch single malts.. in choice and pricing , comparing to other places in the area.. , also has nice section for international wines.. very clean place, and pleasant personnel a+++”
“Well, I go there to buy trash bags for the city. Also bags of ice. I do not consume alcohol so I cannot comment on that. However the place is always trip top. Pleasant employees.”

“Olympic Wine and Spirits provides one of the most diverse range of liquor, beer and wine around! Service was fast and the owner even personally helped me find the drink I was looking for. Olympic definitly gained a regular customer today!”

“never personally had a bad experience with this location been going for the last 7 years. usually i run ito polite staff that seem to know more or less the happenings in the community and in the store regarding where to find the exact drinks to meet your needs.dont expect too much conversation or english but dont be afraid to engage with the customer service team either. they do their job well and have a decent selection for being a smaller store. your going to a liquor store so dont have the highest standards and youll be fine and probably have a great time. dont take my word for it go see for yourself”
