We shop here for almost all of our beer and ciders. But this time I need 2 quarter kegs for a party to keep our guests from congregating in one area (CoVid style). Andy and the staff were so helpful. They put everything in my car so carefully and quickly. Was in and out in five minutes.

Can not say enough good things about this place, amazing store, family owned and operated, obsencnly clean (no sticky floors or the smell of stale beer spilled all over) and organized. The staff and owners are awesome and very knowledgeable and they carry anything and everything you would need from a bevy. Best inventory of hard to find beers, that you can usually mix and match your own 4-packs or just buy single cans, which is great if you are not sure about a certain beer and just want to try one and not be stuck with multiple cans of something you may not be into. If they do not not have something you are looking for, they will get it if possible. Best beverage center around, highly recommend!

Ordered delivery from all the way in Miller Place. Delivery was fast and accurate. They called to confirm the order and to help make suggestions etc. Staff is very knowledgeable about all things craft beer related. They had high volume Other Half brewery beers, easily my favorite tri state area brewery. The beers that were brought to me were literally brewed yesterday. Cant beat that freshness! This place is a gem and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of craft beer or any beverage service. Cheapest 5 gallon jugs of water around by the way, which is good to know in these crazy times!

Cleanest beverage on the island. No other distributor can match the extensive collection of beers they have. Competitive pricing & knowledgeable employees makes taking the drive worth it. Professional and ahead of the game!

Best craft beer selection in the area... they get lots of brands that are not easy to find in large quantities. Its also always super clean in their store. Highly recommend! You are missing out if you dont shop here!

Guys are always friendly and know their beer. Selection is always spot on and their Other Half price is just ridiculous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great deals on any beers.

Review №15

Great selection of old beer that they charge 3/4x retail for since they “send people to get it”. I’ll stick with my local and let their beers continue to collect dust. Also wish I could get their sponsored posts about their “favorite beers from_____” to stop coming up on my feed or they should just be transparent and say in the add they are for sale at a super premium. If on LI and looking for beer be sure to take your business elsewhere

We had Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage deliver for the first time and we were very pleased with the entire experience!! Tons of beer to choose from! The process was simple and we were able to do contactless delivery. Would def recommend!!!

Review №17

Honestly the best beer distributor on long island, ill pay the extra money not to drive to the breweries, wait on a huge line, and the best part I can buy by the can, instead of the 4pack, which actually saves me money in the long run. My time is well worth the small mark up, and i can try a can of everything without having to buy a case worth of beer in 4 packs. They also have keg orders.

Review №18

I couldn’t wait for this place to open up. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. There’s a great selection of Domestic, Imported and Craft beers at great prices. As someone who doesn’t have the time to go to breweries and wait on a line for a can release, they make it more accessible. That OH deal has me coming back every weekend. LRB is back and highly recommended.

Ive never met a more knowledgeable staff in my life. Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage not only has a huge variety of beer, their IPA selection is out of this world!!!. They also have Other Half cans for $5.50 a can! Theres no other place to travel to. Keep it up guys!!

Too many good things to say about this establishment. The staff is always very nice and make you feel like youre right at home, never walked out of there without a smile on my face. The place is also VERY clean and organized and whatever you cant find they are more than willing to help. On top of everything else their selection is unbelievable wouldnt go anywhere else!!

Review №23

Visiting this establishment was a warm experience that was coupled with a cold refreshing beer. The staff was super friendly and gave a personal touch in selecting a bold and crisp IPA. When I walked over to the cooler, the air that pulled as I opened the display door was powerful, cold and dry. The environment was clean and the shelves were stocked. There were so many choices and beers that I had never heard of before, so it need be known I will be visiting again.

Review №24

Starting from the easy access directly off of the LIE to the amazing cans available in the walk-in, this place does not disappoint. I pass multiple beverage centers on my way to Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage, without batting an eye. Customer service is top tier, selection is like no other on Long Island (let alone NY). A true family business I will continue to support for a very long time.

Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage is the standard for everything a great Beer Distributor should be!The only thing more epic than their selection of beers is their top notch customer service. Their depth of knowledge and kindness towards all customers is unparalleled and well received.This is a family run business that truly embraces and nurtures their customer relationships. All of their employees are super friendly, very knowledgeable about the products they sell, and always go above and beyond to take care of their customers. You feel like youre part of the family the moment you walk in the door.They also have the biggest and best selection of beers to be found anywhere!

Store is in absolute immaculate condition. Stocked with all types of traditional and craft beers paired with very hands on family ownership who are always available to help you find what you are looking for or help you plan your upcoming event. If you are looking for a beer distributor that can take all of your needs and do so in an ultra modern, innovative building Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage is the place to go

Nice place with plenty of parking. They had a nice selection of craft beer but wish they had more. I would definitely go again....changed my review to a 5. Went 3 times over the last 2 months and had plenty of beer that are hard to get without traveling. Really enjoy the place and prices

Best distributor on the island. Guys are extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of beer and beer news. Widest selection Ive seen. They also allow to break up most four packs which is great for someone looking to try a lot of new beers like myself. These recent 1 star reviews are basically trolls. Highly recommend

Been visiting this local family small business since I moved to LI in 2004. Super friendly, awesome selection, great overall experience every single time. Always acknowledge customers, handshakes, help you carry beer out, lollipops for kids. An exceptional business, wish them continued success in their new digs

Ive been going to Johns bev spot since its last location on portion rd. I was very excited when the new location had opened, Lake Ronkonkoma bev has to have one of the best selections of craft beers. Their rare selection of Otherhalf beer is great. Its nice to not have to drive so far for great beer. Thank you guys you ROCK.CROD!

Best craft beer selection on Long island and the entire store is BRAND NEW. I could not believe the selection of beer (particularly rare IPAs) they had in their 1200sf walk in fridge. Has to be the largest walk in fridge Ive ever been in and the prices are all better than other beverages in the area. I will certainly will be back!

If you drink beer and you have never been to Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage, you have ZERO idea of what you are missing. I literally just spent 10 mins staring at the selection with my mind blown. I’m telling you, I just drove there from Ridge. Totally worth the trip. My Christmas Eve party is going to be awesome. My sister is an IPA fan, from Maryland and the staff here helped me pick out a selection that they knew wouldn’t be available down there. This place has the old school feel with the modern look. Amazing! I will be back

What an absolutely well put together Beverage! The employees are very knowledgeable and they definitely know beer.

S
Review №77

They literally buy beer from breweries that don’t distribute cans (like other half, Hill farmstead, Hudson valley) and sell them at marked up prices. They block anyone that calls them out on Instagram. This is definitely illegal and they should lose their license to sell beer at all. Including some pictures to back up my claim. They’re a disgrace to the craft beer community

Review №83

This is a store I would not visit again! Most of the beer is expensive, which explains the lack of customers. The big, loud guy behind the counter was rude and obnoxious. He was offensive and disrespectful to my girlfriend and myself. They seem to have a lot of different beer but when I looked at the dates, I noticed that quite a few were expired. This is a glorified convenience store, in an out of the way location, rather than the classic beer distributor.

Always go there to find something new and interesting. The owner is always open to look into new or different beers that they may not have. Prices can sometimes be high for the rarer beers, but its very convenient and theres a ton of variety. So theres always multiple options to find something.
