116 Broadway, Menands“This place is amazing! Full of delicious cheeses, meats, cute merchandise, and yummy unique sweets and drinks. The best part though is that the people that work there are absolutely astounding. They are full of so much knowledge about the cheeses they have and they are incredibly helpful and friendly. And I have found so many new delicious cheeses I love as a result. If I did not live over a thousand miles away I would visit this place daily until I have a chance to try everything they offer.”
“This is my absolute favorite place to buy wine and restock my bar. They will even deliver !
I met the owner one day, cool guy, (Craig I think). Very helpful and very customer oriented, rare today.
I've been to other large wine/liquor stores, and even though those are closer to me, I still choose going here... just a much nicer experience. 2 thumbs up in my book!”
“Oliver's Beverage in Albany is an in-the-know type booze and wine store. It's best in the summer. The shelves are expertly marked by region and by category. Find German beer, soda, small bottle shooters, whiskey cask beer, French wines, Italian whites, 6 packs, singles and even a fountain (that I have not tried out yet) to fill beer-growlers with that good Winter Lager or IPA. It's a very large shop and it would be nice if there were (it's a Yelp tip Oliver's..) a place for pregnant moms and old folks to sit: inside or outside. The prices are a bit on the higher end but you find oddities and some nifty finds, only here. Pretty good assortment. Review: 5”
“The best liquor store in the Capital District.The outside looks shabby ( it's going to be updated soon) but the inside is great. Stop in and say hello to Thapa behind the counter. Tell him Mike sent you. Great selection. Excellent prices. Look for the flashing arrow on Central Ave. near Osborn.”
“Great variety of wine specials all around the place. Great selection of wines and spirits from all around the world with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Ck it out 20% off cases, even mixed - wait, can that be right? Join their club and get cash back! Also, the best music for liquor store in Albany.”
“This store is small, but they have a great selection. They have a nice selection of New York state spirits, which is an added bonus. It is located in Stuyvesant Plaza, so very convenient.”
“These folks are great. I never had a bad experience here. I've had issues with a keg one time, and they resolved it for me. They're always helpful and friendly.”
“This is a great liquor store with very knowledgeable staff/ owners. If you are looking for hard to find Bourbons and Whiskey's this is the place for you. They have an outstanding selection of Blanton's many of which are not sold in the US. Prices are competitive and service is great!. If you like spirits or are into designer bottles, then do not miss shopping at this location.”

435 Central Ave Apartment 1, Albany“I love the BROTHERS...first time in and they treated me so great...they acted as if I was a celebrity..I was dress quite beautifully for Mother's day. love this establishment”
“I wish I could give this 0 stars so that I could keep this hidden gem a secret, but that would not be fair. . The food is amazing, with a homemade touch. The beer is great. And, above all, the people we met were all very friendly and welcoming. So glad we found this.”
“Aside from participating in the restoring of this building from a dry cleaners to what is now a premium winery and liquor spot, it is one of the best in atmosphere and selection. I know when we first completed the brick work the second floor could be rented for private parties although I'm not sure if they are still providing this service. All in all worth a stop if you are in the area!”
“Great service and very friendly. My wife and I just moved to Albany, and they had a wine that we've been looking for but haven't able to find anywhere else!”
“We were going away for a weekend, and we stopped by this liquor store for drinks, The attendant helped us to find what we desired, and we truly liked the selections that he suggested. Thank you!!!”
“This place is my absolute fav place to get ANY and ALL my adults beverage wants and needs!! Seriously!! Staff is ALWAYS helpful and you will find rare and unique choices to choose from!!”
“A nice little wine shop with a great selection of wines! The selection isn’t huge but they make up for that in the quality of what they sell. I don’t know much about wine, so I pick my usual price point, location of the vineyard and then pick whatever bottle looks the coolest. So far I haven’t been disappointed using this process here! The staff is also always friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend”

260 Hoosick St, Troy“Excellent. Prices, even with shipping, were very good, I could not find the wine (Aluado Alicante Bouschet Lisboa 2020) anywhere here in Memphis, and the wine was shipped promptly and packed really well. I am very happy.”
“Grapes and Grains is a "neighborhood" liquor and wine store. Although it may not be one of the super big liquor stores, it stocks a huge amt of liquors and wine. Plus the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful. When I go there I know I'm going to find what I want and be treated well as a customer”

201 Broadway, Troy“Was pleasantly surprised at the eclectic collection of wines available here! Big fan of the location change and the young lady with the beanie working the front helped me find some new Riesling to start off my Dry January!! ?”
9AM - 9PM
102 Van Rensselaer Square, Rensselaer“This is by far my favorite liquor store in Upstate NY! Their customer service is top tier. The employees are so knowledgeable about the wines/liquor sold here and they are always willing (and able) to educate me on whatever questions I may have. Whenever I’m confused about what to get, someone will suggest a particular brand and I’m ALWAYS pleased with their recommend. Isiah is the best!! He’s always willing to go above and beyond. Such a pleasant young man. I tell all my friends & family to come to NY Wine and Liquor Warehouse for all their alcohol purchases. Best selection & prices in town too! ?”
“Great selection, reasonable prices, and friendly staff! Even has their own mascot, the beautiful golden retriever, Dakota! Whether it's a gift for someone you know, your own dinner party or just refilling the cabinets, they are always happy to help and offer suggestions. My go-too!”
“This store has different names depending on where you search. The sign over the door says "Westmere Wine and Spirit." On Google you'll find both "Westmere Wine & Liquor" and "Westmere Liquor Store," and here on Yelp, it's also "Westmere Liquor Store." But they're all the same place, at 1810 Western Avenue. For a relatively small space, it's amazing how much they carry and just how well organized it is. The wines dominate the middle aisles. On the right, you have some New York State wines, and you've also got Asian selections, including a large variety of Sake. On the left, you have your liquors, and these are competitively priced. Plus, given how close it is to my home, it's very convenient for me.”
“First impressions matter!
I had an outstanding experience from the moment I walked in the door! The store was clean, and well stocked. The owner and his staff were friendly, helpful and engaging beyond expectation! I will be back. I tend not write many reviews- this was a well deserved pleasure to give! Cheers!”

7 Northern Dr, Troy“Very lively and upbeat store located in Troy. Staff is very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. Great selection of products and also have chilled wine/Hennessy.”
“Knowledgeable staff that can't help you enough. Obviously, it is a well run operation with employees that care. Top that with exceptional prices, and you've discovered what many have: there's simply no better place to purchase wine and spirits.”
“The young man with the beard and the young lady with the highlights are always there when I come to shop. They're ALWAYS very friendly. Hell the young man even put me on to "Milagros" tequila(which is delicious). And the dogs are adorable!”

75 Ferry St, Troy“A fruend of mine used to own it, but with his business plan, remaining in this particular business wasnt in the cards. They have a large selection of wines and spirits. I have been buying from this establishment for over 10 years , and as long as I live in the same area, I'll keep purchasing from them.”

14 Picotte Dr, Albany“This is a great neighborhood shop, very impressed with what they have done with the place. Nice selection/assortment for the space. I appreciate that they carry a number of local and NYS based spirits. As an added perk - if they don't carry what you are looking for, just let the staff know and they will do everything they can to stock it for you.”
