Great selection, very fair prices although service could be a bit better as many employees seem indifferent, I spent 400 on liquor and not even a thank you? Sheeesh!

Favorite wine store in the city! They have some of the best selection in the city at great prices. Also love that they are able to deliver to your place if you choose. I'll keep coming here anytime I want to get wine for a large celebration.

I have placed several online orders with Astor Wines and Spirits and have always been pleased with their knowledge, professionalism and stellar personal customer service. No answering machine but a real person. How utterly refreshing in today's impersonal world of online orders. you guys are amazing!

Great selection of wine and liquor and fair prices. However, the worst customer service of any wine store in the city. With the exception of one person at the cash register, every single person I've talked to at Astor has had a stuck up, dismissive, "don't bother me" attitude. This has happened every time I've gone in, so it's not just a few "bad apples," it's a bad corporate culture. I don't have this problem with any other wine store in the city. Astor is the Strand books of wine. A NYC institution with a fantastic selection, good prices, and lousy customer service. I try to avoid shopping here but unfortunately certain wines can only be bought there. I recommend Flatiron Wines, Tribeca Wine and Spirits, the Corkery in FiDi, Milesima, and others for equally good wine and prices and where the staff doesn't treat you like an annoyance.

Excellent liquor and wine spot. They have most products, and the prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful. I've only been here a few times, being that I don't live anywhere near it. They have a great selection of Absinthe (if you're looking for a specific one). They also carry limited and/or rare bottles, like Green Chartreuse, but don't wait too long. If you're looking for something special, you might be able to find it here, but call first.

I’ve been coming here for years and I absolutely love this place.If there is an obscure alcohol/wine/liqueur, this place has it.More recently I met with an associate named Evan and he is truly a gem!Every single recommendation he has given me has been a 10/10.I just describe to Evan what I want and he finds the perfect match.I decided to write this review after months of great recommendations from him because I chose some new ones this evening, I got home and they were absolutely delicious!He’s very knowledgeable and patient and kind!If you need recommendations on great wine, Evan is a rockstar!

I have been a customer of Astor Wines & Spirits for many years, but unfortunately it looks like I have just made my final purchase. I live in Florida and have used Astor's shipping option many times, with great results. Historically, an order placed with them would arrive at my door in a week or less. Sadly, at some point over the last year or so, it appears they have totally changed their shipping process, because my most recent order literally took 29 DAYS to arrive! This is completely outrageous and unacceptable, especially when you deal in wine & spirits, which can be negatively impacted in many ways by sitting on a hot truck for an extended period. When I emailed Astor after around 3 weeks of waiting (because I assumed something was wrong), they explained that nothing out of the ordinary was occurring, this was simply how long the process takes now. Well, they should be ashamed of that, because I'm pretty sure I could have ridden my BIKE to NY in fewer days than it took for their truck to get to my house.

A staple since I was a 20-year-old in the 80s! This place never does not deliver! From someone wanting a $10 wine at a party to someone needing to spend $100 for an excellent wine. This is the place. Staff very knowledgeable very Comfortable space, highly recommend.

I went in with a drink recipe from StripHouse for an old fashioned with some exotic ingredients only Astor had (I'll post it). A really nice knowledgeable guy there helped me find everything and also some tips on how to fix the drink. Reminded me of how much I miss shopping and not having everything delivered. Great experience!

Large selection, friendly staff, bright store, rational pricing. (My post was too succinct for Yelp until I added this sentence.)

THE best liquor and wine store in Manhattan. Best for variety, knowledgable workers, and overall energy. I go out of my way to come here.

They had hard-to-find bottles of Delaware Phoenix' Blues Cat absinthe in stock. I was able to purchase on the phone and they delivered to an address in the W Village. Thank you for your attentive staff and help in my order. Now I just have to get them home to BC!

Archie is truly phenomenal. He helped me find reasonably priced wines for my wedding with a quick turnaround and all of his picks were spot on. This wine store is a subway ride away from home for me and it will still be my go-to wine store going forward. He was knowledgeable in the most unpretentious way and goes above and beyond to help customers. Ask for Archie!
