“I always go here the owners and their sons are very nice people great to talk to if you have any questions about anything you're very knowledgeable and they carry just about everything I've ever wanted”
“I will say, I was actually a little skeptical at 1st. I’ve heard some people say they don’t like this place. I personally didn’t have any issues. They have a decent selection, and prices are good.The gentleman behind the counter (I believe the owner maybe?) is really friendly. He actually will take the time to talk to you.Good selection, and friendly service? Can’t ask for better really. ?”
“My wife booked a tasting session with Irene. At the time Irene asked my wife what our preferences were, and my wife mentioned that I was not a fan of ryes, but that I was interested in exploring its possibilities. Irene replied "well then, my goal is to find a rye that he likes." Well she succeeded. Irene introduced us to several barrel pick whiskies that were absolutely incredible, and not just from your standard distilleries. Irene has a passion for whiskey and in bringing out new craft distilleries that are doing some amazing work. She curates the entire process, introducing you to the nose and flavor profiles seamlessly, and is an incredible story teller. She also keeps the whiskey flowing, making sure you are constantly tasting new and interesting products, all inside an hour. I would highly recommend anyone who is a whiskey fan drop by for a tasting, or simply just to shop, all the staff their are very knowledgeable and can make helpful recommendations.”
“Great small family business. All employees are always friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for and if they don't have it they will order it for you.”
“Beautiful store. I was utterly shocked by how much this store had to offer, especially being in the middle of the country. It was better stocked than those on Post Rd in the City. The amount of wine this place had was astonishing. I can't wait to look around again and find some more new and interesting things. Great job The Watering Hole.”
“I prefer this package store over all others in the area. Always has a helpful and friendly staff, and wide selection of booze. Hours are fair and reasonable.Parking is odd but I park away from the building.Glad that this store survived after the other 2 same name stores were sold off. Those both had major price increases and owners of them are aloof. This store has a lot of original employees and I like that.”
“This place is awesome, not only the selection is great but the staff and service is wonderful. I had a question about a foreign liquor that I knew it was not going to be available but they did not hesitate to ask if I wanted to order it and they will call me when it arrived. Well, 2 days later I got the call and I was so happy because now I do not have to travel far anymore to find my home-country's alcohol, just drive couple miles and will be there!”
“You can find any and every alcohol out there, and them some! Love Big Gary’s and just adore the friendly owners, along w the tremendous crew working there. When everyone there is happy you KNOW the owners are doing right! Rock on ? The prices keep me coming back in all honesty. GREAT bang for the buck ✌?? Merry Christmas ? and Happy Holidays”
“I don't drink often and have no idea what mixes well together. I told the staff member what I was looking to make, and he had pointed me in the direction of just what I needed and at a friendly price range as well. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable.”
“The best liquor store in Putnam! The owner & employees are all very friendly and always quick to help. It has the greatest variety of drinks & if the customers want something different, it is immediately ordered. A very homely store :)”
“I'm not going to lie, I'm kicking myself for sleeping on Weidels for so long. I've ordered here a couple of times in the past but never got pizza for some reason. The food was always good but nothing to write about. But that's my fault for not ordering pizza at a pizza place. Today my husband and I ordered a large Anchovies (Judge me all you want, it's delicious) pizza and an order of fries. It was SO good. The pizza has the right amount of crust to sauce to cheese to toppings ratio, and the fries are thick hand cut style. The pizza is a tad greasy but honestly that's kind of a plus in my book. The fries - Chewy and soft with the slightest crunch, my favorite kind. I need to come back more often.”
“The owner, Steve, is a good guy and very friendly as are the rest of the employees. The prices are good as well as his selection. Very cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.”
“Very cool shop. Exceptionally helpful staff. Vert good selection from 'run of the house' beverages to upper scale beverages.Because it is sort of boutique looking, I was expecting 'boutique prices' for run of the house type beverages.I was way more than surprised to see thier prices are pretty average and right there with just about any place. This makes me pretty pleased that I can support cool place and not feel like I git price gouged in trying to be good to a local business.”
“I have to say I've tried all the liquor stores in the area, and have become surprised to find out that this has become my "go-to" liquor store for craft beers. It's not as large as other liquor stores, but they really have such an incredible and diverse selection of unique, interesting, and local craft beers to try. Every time I walk in, I walk out with a box full of new, fresh beers to try. PRO TIP: Make sure you go in the walk-in cooler. There are twice as many craft beers hiding on the back shelves than what you see in the front coolers. If you only look at the front cooler doors, there's a great selection - but then you head into the back of the walk-in and you find another boatload of delicious options. Check them out.”

“The girl working there it the time was super friendly and helpful. We live in Mass and were on our way to my son's house in Woodstock. We will definitely stop there again!”
“I’m not much of a drinker, though I have found a combination of drinks that I like to enjoy. While I’ve only been into a handful of package stores, this one I well laid out, and had quite the selection. There are other stores in town that are great too, but I felt this store was more “thought out” and treated more like a grocery store in its appearance. ??Staff was courteous, and the place was clean. I noticed a “sticky” box of drinks, but ended up having my hands full. I informed the woman at the counter, and offered to bring it to her. She said she would take care of it. Sure enough, as I walked away, she immediately headed to deal with the problem. Small, but a good example of what to expect. ?”
“I truly appreciate this diamond in the rough. The owners and staff are truly dedicated to serving their customers. I have had only one issue with one of their vendors, in the two years that I have been going there for party drinks. They addressed my issue on the spot and I will not be going anywhere else for my party needs. Thank you all so very much again!”
“This is my go to liquor store. As someone with bad anxiety I feel very comfortable going to this place. They allow split payments which is fantastic. Really nothing bad I can say about this liquor store. Can't complain about prices going up cause that's literally everywhere right now.”
“Nice selection of wine. Counter people ate exceptional and knowledgeable. Looks a little rough from the outside, but the people make this a great place. Easy access too!”
“Great craft and local brew selection. Staff is always pleasant. Wish they had craft mix and match but that pails in comparison to the availability of different types of beers. Good bourbon selection as well.”
“This owner always makes sure to get what you want for the next time you visit if he doesn't have what you're looking for. He also recommends great tasting liquor when he knows what kind of liquor you like. He knows his stuff. He's gotten my husband into some great tasting liquor he never tried before. He's very friendly and goes out of his way for his customers. He's a very smart business man! We come to this liquor store most often whenever we're in need of alcohol for any occasion. I recommend you come to this package store. It's not a very big store but he has a variety of every type of alcohol. If he doesn't have what you want he'll recommend something close to it and it's always good stuff when we try what he suggests.”

“I have only been here once to grab a handle of vodka after grocery shopping at BigY. While cashing out this handsome old Greek guy shook my hand and said in a nice accent "party hard young man". I think about that every time I drive by now. 10/10”
