Love this place. Great local liquor store with a nice selection. Everything from microbrew to Bud Light, expensive wines to affordable wine. They have knowledgeable staff & regular tastings. Highly recommend.

I have very little experience buying alcohol, so I cant say much about how the selection or prices compare to other shops of its kind in the area. I can say that the place is clean and well-organized. The staff is friendly and helpful. I live close by, and they seem to have a bustling business. Since there are other liquor stores nearby, they must be doing something right.

Very friendly staff, always super helpful and good vibes. Also tastings occur almost every night. Nice to try new drinks for free instead of having to pay to decide if you like something new.

Small package store with friendly employees and nice layout and selection for wine & spirits. They also often offer samples. Just dont expect much in terms of beer.

It all depends on what youre looking for.Services recently gotten worse because of change of ownership. Previously the staff were drinking enthusiasts which means they could give good recommendations. This is no longer true.Selection is okay prices are okay also but not great.

Classy looking small place with lots of wine and liquor. Had selection of craft beers, not the biggest, but had good choices. Ilttle pricey but that makes sense for an establishment of Mass Ave in Arlington.

The person who owns this store also owns all the apartment units above it and on the block/around the corner, as well as more than a dozen other rental properties in Arlington. He has a monopoly in the town and is raising rents that increases the market prices all over. I loved my apt while I lived there, but it had a couple of really bad code violations he dragged his feet on fixing--namely windows in very bad shape, one of which literally blew out when a severe storm came to town just a couple of months into living there. It took him 2.5 mos to replace the window (thats right, I had no window for months), only after I threatened to call the Board of Health. There was also a faulty alarm in the store that would go off for hours in the middle of the night and he didnt care. He raised rents super high on all of us, but higher for me (which I think was backlash for my complaining about the windows and alarm). If you give your business to this store, youre financially supporting this guys rental ventures and inadvertently investing in his monopoly, which is making the Town more expensive. There are better places to buy booze from with friendlier customer service (Menotomy Wine just a few blocks away on Broadway, for instance).
