Will never shop anywhere else for liquor or wine. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A terrific store.

Went to an informal wine tasting for some new sugar-free wine. The store is well organized, clean, and the items I wanted were in stock. Staff is very courteous and helpful.

Excellent staff. Very knowledge. Awesome prices & sales. Located near the ferries as well so they deliver to them! Fantastic service.
"Whiskey Ed" Houdek first opened the doors to Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe in 1965. Back then he'd deliver mail for the Bayport Post Office during the day and at night he'd work selling fine liquors and wine. In 1972, Ed doubled the size of the store making it so long and narrow that you could fit four lanes of bowling within the store's walls. But instead of balls and pins, we have the area's largest selection of fine wines and liquors. Today, Ed's son, Mike, runs the store. He is certified as a wine sommelier and has an outstanding palate. If you need to know the best wine for your meal, just ask him. If you need to know about single malts, top shelf vodkas, or the best Cognacs, he's your man.
