“I work right next door so it’s very convenientFor me to purchase drinks there. so I always go and spend so much money on drinks, Especially on pay day. Also, they have great wine selections and is very affordable. However, The lady that is always at the front counter, she shouldn’t be there Because she have the most nastiest attitude. Furthermore her customer service really sucks. My philosophy has always been if you don’t like your job, get another one but don’t come to work and be nasty to customers because you’re miserable. Every time I go in there and ask her for directions on Where to find what I’m looking for she’s always so rude and aggressive with her directions But yet I kept going back because like I said before it’s convenient. But yesterday I had it with her and I had to tell her my piece of mind. Don’t go here guys it’s not worth it they don’t appreciate your business and in my opinion the owner should give lessons on better customer service.”
“Had a spectacular time. Becky & Mary were spectacular hosts and gave us so much valuable insight into the cheeses that matched what we wanted. We will certainly be coming back soon!”
“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!!!”

“Absolutely spotless location! The new owners have created an environment that I enjoy going to. All of the bottles are clean and neat. Plenty of options and always stocked up. Every Friday I grab wine for the weekend and they ALWAYS have what I want along with new wines I cannot wait to try. Kudos to the new owners. Their hard work has paid off. Can’t recommend enough. Please go!! Drink and be merry with liquor from Wine Shed!”
“These folks are great. I never had a bad experience here. I've had issues with a keg one time, and they resolved it for me. They're always helpful and friendly.”
“I love the BROTHERS...first time in and they treated me so great...they acted as if I was a celebrity..I was dress quite beautifully for Mother's day. love this establishment”
“Customer service is alive and well at this fabulous establishment!
Frank was so personable and helped me pick out a great rose .
Fantastic selection as well . This shop is not on my way home but I will definitely be a return customer!”
“I recently visited Smiths Liquor Store, and I was impressed by their wide selection of wines and spirits. The store is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. Whether you're a connoisseur or just stocking up, this store has something for everyone. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Friendly and super helpful employees and owner. They are always willing to look up wines I am looking for and make suggestions. And they always help me carry everything to the counter. The wine selection is vast compared to the state stores in PA. I am now stopping every time I pass through Troy.”
“Prices reflect a much more densely populated area. Having no other options in the area you'd expect to see higher prices respectively. Friendship does not choose this business model and instead chooses to live up to their name. Friendly service and discounted prices. Stop in and grab something even the Coca-Cola is better here, it's still crisp and tastes fresh.”
“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.”
“Reasonably priced purveyor of fermented beverages and distilled spirits. Convenient to East Greenbush and Troy, but cannot compete with Empire Wine for selection or price.”
“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!”
“Aside from participating in the restoring of this building from a dry cleaners to what is now a premium winery and liquor spot, it is one of the best in atmosphere and selection. I know when we first completed the brick work the second floor could be rented for private parties although I'm not sure if they are still providing this service. All in all worth a stop if you are in the area!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!”

“A good place to grab beer, they have all the popular brands and a good selection of craft beers. For the size of the store, I would expect a better craft beer selection and sometimes they are low on inventory of some types of beer.They always have enough of the popular brands and the staff is always willing to help out.”
“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!”
“Nice store. Good selection of spirits. Nothing eclectic. If you're looking for a variety of exotic Scotches they're not there. Ok selection of bourbons and whiskeys, gins and vodkas. The staff is nice. I'm not quite sure what more to say... It's a liquor store. Parking lot is ok.”
“Came here because each time I go to the store in the price chopper plaza across from this one, the woman there is incredible useless and rude. This place has friendly, knowledgeable staff and prices that compare to any other wine and liquor store. I definitely recommend coming here.”
