The good ... - They don't overcharge for or hoard mid-tier allocated bourbons like Blanton's, Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace. That's rare in this day and age! Twice I've found Blanton's right on the shelf with other bourbons with no markup above MSRP. Bought a bottle of Blantons here for $69 here even though one town over, there was a local liquor store selling it for $150 on the same day! Huge props for not selling at secondary prices and that's why I try to keep my business here when I am in the area. - For a liquor store in the most blue collar of blue collar suburbs in MA, they have surprisingly good stuff. I like the high end stuff and if you want a decent bottle of $100 - $150 wine, there will be a couple here to choose from. If you like a really good $20 bottle, the selection is good as well and its well laid out ... easy to find a specific bottle you are looking for but also easy to browse. Generally the staff recommendations for a town where the fanciest restaurant is an Outback Steakhouse. - For a small store, the bourbon selection is pretty good. - The prices here are going to be higher on most stuff than a chain store ... on some wines by 20% or more ... but overall, they are not bad on liquor compared to other local stores. If price was my main concern and I am buying lots of bottles for a party, obviously I am heading to Total Wine in Shrewsbury. But if I had to choose any small, local liquor store in MA where I wouldn't get totally fleeced, this would be the one. The bad: - Craft beer selection is pretty bad. Mostly IPA and a lot of the stuff they have isn't the freshest. -Cigar selection is also absolutely terrible with no prices on anything in their humidor despite a huge markup over other stores. - Staff can be a little aloof and intimidating. You definitely don't get the warm and fuzzy vibe when shopping here. Overall,this is a great little shop with a surprisingly good, and diverse, selection of everything. Prices are decent enough ... and it kind of feels like the early 1980's inside, which is unintentionally retro in a cool way. If you are getting off the Mass Pike in Auburn, you might want to pop in.

Colony Liquors is a great placec to shop. During a recent purchase, a bottle of bourbon broke on the way home because it was in the same bag with a bottle of wine (suspect it was a defective bottle as the bottom came off completely). I called when I got home, and the manager very graciously replaced it at no charge. What wonderful customer service!!

Nice bottle shop with a solid selection of beer wine and liquor. Craft beer is a curious mix that they don’t know a bunch about. Perhaps the best selection in Auburn MA currently.

Tonight I was refused a sale by a younger guy working the register. He refused to sell me anything from the store because the gin I was trying to purchase was the same gin somebody had tried to purchase earlier without an ID. I explained that I had no idea what he was talking about and if he was so upset about the gin I'd just pick something else. He told me he would not sell me anything. Just because someone else came in uprepared i was unable to make a purchase. Poor customer service. Would not recommend.

Garbage store with garbage employees. Have placed multiple orders with them over several years. Have never had a single one fulfilled, and there's always some excuse about why, and always with a poor attitude. Buy from any other store in the area but these guys.
