“This is an excellent store offering a wide variety of unique cheeses, crackers, breads, and fresh fruit among other culinary delights. My family thoroughly enjoyed this gift this past weekend.”
“I do errands for a friend and she has me pick up beer, cigarettes and soda here. Oliver's has a wide selection to choose from, great prices and they will help me out to my car, with my purchases, if asked! They're awesome!!!”
“Found some hard to find rum here at a great price while shopping online. Called them to make sure the shipping charges were correct. Very nice folks to talk to on the phone. They Ship to TEXAS ! Super fast shipping ! Will order again !!!”
“Nice, large selection of cans and bottles, beers and other beverages (no liquor). I go for the growler station which usually has a decent selection of up to 10 brews. Friendly, helpful staff for the most part... occasional shy staffer... but still helpful”
“I do not live in the area. But needed a bunch of bottles delivered to family that lives over there. They help me with everything I needed.They were so nice and helpful.”
“I love this friendly neighborhood store. It’s walking distance to my house and they carry an excellent collection of spirits and wine. They do have excellent red blends, especially from the Columbia Valley, my favorite type of wine.”
“JC Smith is one of the best places to get all your construction materials and tools. Anytime I go there I can get in and out without a problem. Employees are always friendly and very knowledgeable.”
“Stopped in during my Amtrak layover for wine, found what I was looking for and had a great conversation with the lady at the counter! (If I got your name, I apologize, I'm terrible with names!)”
“I went to carman looking for a specific wine. They did not carry it, but they asked me what I was looking for and pointed me in the direction of two of the recommendations and what they recommended are now two of my favorites.”
“Stopped into Newton Wine & Spirits for the first time and we’ll definitely be back! The gentleman working—Mr. Hunter—was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He even recommended a great local spot for us to check out, which meant a lot since we just moved to the area. Can’t wait to explore it… and hopefully cross paths with him again!”

“Doordash messed up. But the owner was kind enough to make up for it, without me having to even ask.
Don't see people/businesses do this these days.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Good wines and fair prices, the sales person helped me pick out some nice bottles within a reasonable range.
I can appreciate staff that care and are knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning.”

“Was pleasantly surprised at the eclectic collection of wines available here! Big fan of the location change and the young lady with the beanie working the front helped me find some new Riesling to start off my Dry January!! ?”
“Plaza 7 is a family-run liquor store in the Plaza 7 Commons located right next to Galleria 7 Market, which is quite convenient. If I were getting take-out from anywhere in Galleria 7 or nearby, I'd certainly stop in here to get a bottle of wine or two to go with my meal, and there's a small cooler in the back with some already-chilled wines. It's not a large store, and the size is reduced a bit more by the center aisle being an "employees only" area. So they're forced to pick and choose what they sell, and I think they made good choices. As you walk in, the wines are on the right, very well organize, with competitive prices. Liquor and liqueurs will be on the left, with a significant assortment of whiskeys. Prices are reasonably competitive here. Service is friendly, I was greeted as soon as I walked in.”
“Laviano Wine & Liquor provides an excellent selection of wines and spirits, catering to both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts. The knowledgeable staff is always ready to offer recommendations and guidance, enhancing the shopping experience. The store's well-organized layout and fair pricing contribute to its appeal. Laviano Wine & Liquor stands out as a reliable destination for those seeking a diverse and quality assortment of alcoholic beverages.”
“The best liquor store in Albany jay &Kay are the owners and always respectful and friendly those are my guy's the 2 woman that work there are great also”
“This wine and liquor store is the best. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that go out of their way every time you walk in the door. The prices are fantastic and they have a solid bourbon selection. There is even a rewards program which is like a reward for drinking booze! Haha! Zach and James are truly kind men and it's also a pleasure stopping by!”
“The owners of this store are incredibly accommodating. I asked and they made it happen. I was driving to Latham to get my liquor of choice, and the owners said we will have it next week for you. And they did, and at a better price. They are really friendly, always have nice music playing, and also have a loyalty program which is awesome.”
“Great Store. Clean and convenient. The selection is extensive and the prices are phenomenal. Organized making it easier to find what you are looking for. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Often busy, but they keep the lines moving. Stop by after a long day and grab a drink at Star Liquors.”
“I stopped into Suzanna’s shop on my way up north and was welcomed with great customer service. We had a quick chat, found that we had similar tastes and she made some excellent recommendations on wine and bourbon that I ended up purchasing. Suzanna is someone you want to chill and have a drink with, I plan to circle back on my way back to the city! Great find!”

“Spirits of Troy is an absolute gem! The staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and always prompt in assisting with any questions or recommendations. The store itself is spotless, with a clean and well-organized layout that makes browsing a breeze. The open floor plan, along with clearly labeled sections, makes it so easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Their selection is impressive, with plenty of options to choose from, all at reasonable prices. The coolers are perfectly chilled, and the glass is always smudge-free, which really adds to the overall experience. This is easily one of the best liquor stores around, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional service!”
“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.”
“I've got to say this is the best liquor store I've been to staff is very nice and extremely helpful. I could decide what I wanted so they made suggestions that were actually really good. I will definitely be going back. Plus the prices you can't really beat them unless you go wholesale but that too much liquor for me lol.”
“I love this little store. For being smaller they have a great selection, and they always have fun new things to try. I can get in and out quickly, and the staff is super friendly. It's my go-to spot.”
“What a lovely store! ✨
The guy working here was so nice and friendly; we had a lovely conversation while I picked up some vodka.
He also gave me some good recommendations for places to go in albany.
Thank you so much! 😊”
“Highly recommend Parkway Liquor. Thier Bourbon selection is expansive. We like to shop around and enjoy Empire and All-Star but Parway has them beat. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. My go to for sure.”
“This place is a absolute hidden gem with a massive selection that makes you feel like a kid in a candy store. The interior is super clean, modern, and honestly just has a great vibe the moment you walk through the door. Everything is perfectly organized and fresh, so you don't have to spend forever hunting for what you need. If you want a shop that actually keeps things high-quality and professional, this is definitely the spot to hit up.”
