“Huge wine selection. I love the searching ability on their website! Prices are great and pretty much match the NH liquor stores. No further discounts for cases because pri es are already very low. This is my go-to wine store for good reason.”
“I recently visited Smiths Liquor Store, and I was impressed by their wide selection of wines and spirits.

“Love this little neighborhood wine shop! I needed a bottle for a little soirée I’m attending and found the perfect bottle. Really great info listed on the cards for every bottle in the store letting you know what to expect.”
“We picked up one of their Friday night dinner specials. We got sauerbraten, sauerkraut, spatzle and an apple tart for $20. It was served in a 3 compartment tray. We got ours to go, but people were in clubhouse eating there from the same trays.
We were also served a cucumber salad? Sliced cucumbers in soir cream sauce? The wife loved it, but, alas I hate cucumbers.
Food was delicious.
The bar was hopping!
The age seemed to be Cucumbers. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.”
“The best liquor store in the Capital District.The outside looks shabby ( it's going to be updated soon) but the inside is great. Stop in and say hello to Thapa behind the counter. Tell him Mike sent you. Great selection. Excellent prices. Look for the flashing arrow on Central Ave. near Osborn.”
“My favorite of all liquor stores in this area. Best prices, excellent customer service, as just about everyone working there is warm and friendly. Thank you guys!! Keep up the good work!”
“Doesn't look like much on the outside but it is full of a huge selection of beer, largely local. Only downside in my mind is that you have to buy in 4/6 packs with very few singles for sale. But absolutely worth stopping to grab some really good beer. Also has a smoke/convenience shop inside.”
“This store is small, but they have a great selection. They have a nice selection of New York state spirits, which is an added bonus. It is located in Stuyvesant Plaza, so very convenient.”
“Small, family-owned store with a great selection of wine both refrigerated and shelved. Sometimes, they bring their dog to greet customers! It's an added bonus for me!”
“This is my place to go when I need any type of liquor they have a great selection of quality liquor and the prices are good compared with other stores around the area. The staff is very helpful and they deliver as well.”
“The young man with the beard and the young lady with the highlights are always there when I come to shop. They're ALWAYS very friendly. Hell the young man even put me on to "Milagros" tequila(which is delicious). And the dogs are adorable!”
“Prices are generally fair but a few things are much more expensive than their competitors in the area. I'd probably only come back here to get the cheapest things they offer”
“Very helpful and cheerful staff. I called to inquire about a particular product and when I arrived the clerk had it waiting for me at the counter “just in case I decided to come”.”
“If you get a chance talk to MJ, he’s a really cool guy and super helpful, as are the rest of the staff. There’s also a nice selection of beverages to choose from.”
“We returned bottles out back and we brought about 1000 to them. The 2 huys working the bottle return were super nice and incredibly fast!:) will definitely come back”
“My favorite wine shop! A great neighborhood shop where the owners greet everyone as friends... great selections for a small store and they are very knowledgeable and helpful in making new choices. Prices are great... hours are so convenient! Great store to shop local !”
“Visited this location on 6/12/2020 (during COVID19) everyone lines up outside and one by one you step inside surrounded by this plexi glass...the store associate asks you what you would like...rings it up...and you open up this little door to give her your cash or credit/debit card. I didn't think to take pictures but this is the current process while Coronavirus is going around. They have many varieties and also sell a light fruity drink called Stella Rosa! Ladies, you will like Stella Rosa! Go check it out! It cost $12.95 per bottle.”

“I love this place. Small, cute, and the people working the front are always super kind and knowledgeable. Have come in here on a mission for a certain bottle and received quick guidance to get in and out when I wanted. I have also stumbled in after a visit to graney's next door requesting suggestions and was greeted with pointed questions and great suggestions to help me find what I wanted. There are places that are cheaper, to be sure, but I love the service and the great vibe I get in here when I want something closer to home. Highly recommend!”
“Nice customer service. They have a rum that I like that I can't find in other liquor stores, Palo Viejo. A little on the expensive side. Other than that I enjoyed shopping here.”
“This place is great. The owners are so friendly. Today I had the pleasure to meet Rachel, she is really knowledgeable and sweet, she recommended me a Riesling 5/5.”
“The prices are good but they're not always open when they say they are in my opinion that's not good business but besides that I have no other problems”
