“the clerk recommended a Surfside tea to me instead of the usual twisted tea as it’s vodka based and not malt as well as more than 150 calories less per can. they look out for you here will definitely comeback loved the teas new favorite product!”
“Hillsides is a cosy store I’ve been visiting for years. They have a variety of beer and wine on shelf i got several great recommendations for trying new brands. Good services and walk-in experience.”
“I adore this shop and the people who run it! They are so helpful, kind, and just pleasant to greet and chat with. They are all knowledgeable about wine and beer and I appreciate them very much!”

203 Main St, Everett“Mostly you are always served by the owner that means that they always serve you in the best way, the employees are friendly, charismatic ?? they sell alcohol in many places but this one they serve you very well ?”
“I really enjoy shopping at the Cork and Board. They have a wonderful selection of unique wines as well as beer, local bread, cheese, snacks and gifts too. The owner, Ryan, is great. It is my go-to spot when I need a bottle of wine for myself or to gift. They also have great tastings (check out the events page on their website). I couldn't recommend this place more!”
“Awesome stop that makes you feel like they care about you as the customer. Always great recommendations in the wine and spirits categories if you need a solid suggestion. Excellent whiskey store picks that they let you try in store. Will keep coming back vs bothering to go elsewhere”

171 Main St, Stoneham“I used to drive all the way to Portsmouth NH to the State liquor & Wine outlet...well no more! I get the same assortment of a dozen bottles of wine every two weeks. Not only is my bill considerably smaller but I've saved myself more than an hour drive. If looking for suggestions there's always a knowledgeable person on the floor to speak with. AND they have a huge walk-in cooler of beer selection.”
9AM - 10PM
369 Trapelo Rd, Belmont“The owner of this establishment is by far one of the coolest people I think I've ever met. He's so kind and so personable, not to mention that they have the craziest amount of wine from all over the place. I started by going to buy once a week but he always changes them up so there's always different stuff. And now he carries hard liquor too, and beer.”
10AM - 9PM
969 Main St, Wakefield“Very good selection of beers, avoiding a trip to larger stores. They have difficult to find beers, and the prices are affordable. Staff is knowledgeable and able to point in the right direction. They're particularly good with IPAs , and have a decent selection of non alcoholic options. Unfortunately they don't carry a lot of stouts/porters but apart from that i always find something new and interesting. I can't speak for the liquor and wine selection, but the store is large.”
“Great wine selection and always something new to try. Ask the staff as they are super knowledgeable and helpful. You’ll find lots of small growers and uncommon vineyards with peoples favorites too.”
10AM - 10PM
98 Van Ness St, Boston“Only did a brief walk by, but looked in good condition. Don’t really see the practicality though because one can’t bring beer from outside Fenway into Fenway. Suppose if one wants to drink a lot before the game and get nice and drunk that would make sense.
Kid-friendliness: Very Friendly. They let the kids have a sip or two or three or four from what I saw from the window.”
10AM - 9PM
228 Cypress St, Brookline“Excellent collection of good whiskies and wines. They helped me select an excellent bottle of single malt for a gift and I found a very rare bottle of wine which was very hard to find.”
“Incredible curation of interesting sauces, chips, NA drinks, random foods to go along with their modern fountain bar vibe.Super inventive sandwiches (spruckle ftw!) and an overall great and welcome companion to their best in class breakfast sando shop next door.Highly recommend!”
10AM - 10PM
330 Newbury St, Boston“I’m in Sydney Australia. Found Bauer Wine and Spirits online when I was looking for a Boston retailer to send a gift to a Boston friend for her wedding. Service was great: communicated with me to confirm details and the delivery was made quickly.”
10AM - 9PM
1142 Beacon St, Newton“Very polite.But isn't accept bottle redemption.Apparently most liquor stores aren't accepting returns... Something about COVID... How is this allowed to happen?”
“I haven't been there for years but went this afternoon and it was a great surprise. They have so many wonderful items that we found lots of things to get for holiday gifts. Unusual jams, locally made chocolates, my friend's favorite anchovies, great crackers and even some rose. The owner and his staff were very nice too. This place is a wonderful find and a well kept secret. Let's change that. It's nice to have a little store like this in the neighborhood when all of the mega stores are everywhere. Let's support it so it stays around. Boston's needs special places like this.”
9:30AM - 8PM
45 Union Square, Somerville“I love this grocery store so much. In a fairly small square footage, they have such amazing variety of fresh produce (including shiso leaves, which are so hard to find!!), frozen foods, sushi grade fish, kitchenware, freshly prepared foods, and a truly unbeatable sake selection. (The only area they lack in is soy milk; I really wish they carried some imported Japanese brands, as American soy milk is so bad and has so many fillers in it. But for a grocery store to not carry just one thing I’m looking for is a really good track record!) It’s mostly Korean and Japanese groceries, but some offerings branch out into Thai, Chinese, and even Indian ingredients.To boot, Paul is truly the kindest proprietor and also really knowledgeable about the products he sells if you have questions. I was once debating between two types of matcha powder and couldn’t quite tell the difference from the Japanese label, so he pointed me in the right direction.I’ve now been coming here for a few years, but during I think my third or fourth visit I told Paul this was my favorite grocery store and he ran into the produce section and grabbed a HUGE Asian pear to give me as a gift in gratitude. It was so unexpected and so meaningful to have that kind of personal interaction in an increasingly isolated world.I love shopping at this local business over H Mart, and I really hope they are in Union Square for decades and decades to come. With the neighborhood changing so rapidly right now, I do worry about this little spot. Support it if you live in the area!”
“I learn something about Italian wine every time I go here. A very well curated collection of regional Italian wines. We got great recommendations from David for wineries to visit on our last trip to Italy. Get on their email list! The reviews are great reads.”
“Not the best location, but awesome place!
Great selection of liquors, and some that I can’t find at other places, also good prices. I always stop here when I’m in the area.”
“Very good sandwiches and higher but not impossible prices. Breakfast sandwiches are great. Beware though, it's like a trap for people prone to impulsive luxury food purchases. Lots of unusual and tasty snacks for splurgy prices.”
10AM - 7PM
448 Common St, Belmont“Web searching local champagnes lead me here and first time visiting. Very nice wine and cheese and more. Very nice and wide selection of RM growers Champagnes, largest I have seen around here. Impressive. Was able to talk with the kind and knowledgeable in-house wine guru, and heard some nice recommendations of Blanc de Noirs, and picked Eric Rodez Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs for a special celebration. Enjoying every gold drop of it. Thank you very much for the recommendation! Will definitely visit again for another Blanc de Noir bottle.”
“Produce is special, especially the lettuce. A bit towards convenience store prices, but best quality. Close enough that at current car mileage/expense rates, it pays for itself for me for short shopping lists. Some amazing local treats, like the coconut cashews, cracker combos, heat-n-eat dishes, super-tasty dips, spices, meat counter. True New England country store...a little of everything, and good. If you have to run out for a get together bbq or weekend fillers or a made sammich, fantastic.”
11AM - 9PM
899 Congress St, Boston“When it comes to celebrating special moments, finding the perfect wine to commemorate the occasion can be a daunting task. However, my recent experience with Corossol Wines has been nothing short of fantastic, as they went above and beyond to make my parent's upcoming 35th wedding anniversary unforgettable by helping my find a 1988 vintage, the year of my parent's wedding. Their dedication to helping me find the ideal bottle for my parents' milestone celebration is a testament to their commitment to excellence!”
“Small shop that has a little bit of everything one might want. Maybe not always the exact beverage, but definitely something comparable. Good upscale whisky selection. Wish the Japanese whiskey selection included more than Nikka, but that's not worth dropping a star. Very friendly and helpful service.”
11AM - 8PM
10 Main St, Somerville“Our local store to Winter Hill. Love this place, the people, and the selection. They truly have everything. My only recommendations would be more Amber Ale’s but that’s just me.”
10AM - 9PM
303 Columbus Ave, Boston“This shop is very clean and pleasant, with a wide variety of unique wines I haven't seen anywhere else.However, although I know that the specific organization of the shop by "weight" of wine is the intended feature, it's not super helpful for finding specific bottles yourself. Fortunately, the employees were friendly and helpful, so asking wasn't a real chore.Overall, a great place to find something new and different!As an aside: another reviewer mentioned the stickers on the bottle - but the employee at the register peeled them off for me at checkout before I'd even noticed they were there! So perhaps someone just forgot in his case. And it looked very easy to peel them off anyway, so not a big deal in my book.”
9AM - 9PM
156 Mystic Ave, Medford“They were the only store that had a popular liquor that I wanted. No other stores had any, and this store just got a new delivery! They held a bottle for me when they didn't have to! Beautiful store layout and friendly staff! Great price as well. Much nicer than the old Atlas from when I grew up.”
“Good selection of spirits, and they have several store picks that vary throughout the year and are worth checking out. Should have several available for sampling at any given time that allow you to try before committing. We are a bit spoiled for choice locally, but this is certainly a store worth visiting if you're in the area.”
