936 NY-28, Kingston“Stopped by here on my way to Upstate NY. Firstly, great selection of wine. Secondly, huge shoutout to Tom, who I ended up speaking to about the local area and gave me a lot of helpful tips. I always appreciate running into good people on my travels.”
“Genuine gem in New Paltz. It’s on the outskirts, so you need to drive there, but I’ve never had a bad time here. Compared to the other liquor stores in the area, this store has a really nice, comfortable, family feel. The owner is over the moon to help explain the liquor (yes I know, that’s an upselling tactic, but you can tell he loves his job, and that’s super nice to see). There are always great deals and sales, I got a 1.75 100 proof bottle of vodka for $15- and they carry seltzers that I haven’t seen anyone else in the area carry! Highly recommend.”
“The selection of wine and spirits is unparalleled in Kingston. I knew I really liked this place when I met the owner, Robert. He and his staff are fantastic. Kingston is lucky to have a shop like this!”
“I went to buy something specific that my son wanted. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.I found the item easily, the store was very neat and clean and bright .overall great experience ?”

“Yesterday, I had the worst day, Ever! Plz don't ask. I decided it was an expensive tequila day. Like I can do a whole lot of damage with that anymore lol. I think I need to date myself tho lol. I'm a very cheap date now. Shh, don't tell anyone plz lol. 3 sips of my expensive tequila & it was suddenly today. Yay! I tried calling a few Liquor Stores, before speaking with Terrence at Merchant Wines & failed miserably. Terrence is a new hero to me now! Honestly, I've tried moving a pic to here. Nope. Part of my crap leftover mood, from past few weeks! Terrence didn't have any problems with me asking him questions about the tequila he had available or Knew about, nor about the Tequila I was looking for. He even Knew about the Mescal I was looking for! It's never available in States! Holy you know what here! WoW! He had none of the Mescal, but spoke with me at length about the Tequila he had. I told him my spending range & he told me what he had & Could Deliver To Me Too! WoW! What a difference A Phone Call makes!!! To a different Store! Add Terrence, et voila! Magic happens! I settled on expensive-expensive Tequila, written twice on purpose here lol. It is, but damnnn is it delish! It arrived within the hour. About 20 years ago I quit drinking. Couldn't stand taste or smells of alcohol! Alcohol is empty calories, just like fake foods. So, I just quit drinking. Wasn't hard, just smelling it on others. Yuck. Sorry. In other words, this was my 1st alcohol in 20 years. Yup. Now do you understand why 3 sips?! But, I did drink outta bottle like a pirate! Fun. Terrence went to trouble of explaining the distillation process of tequila, I was now panting for, to me. Guess he couldn't hear me panting lol. He was not only Professional, he was Kind & Patient! Funny too. I was cussing like a sailor yesterday! I took my fowl (lol foul, I know! Ok?!) language muzzle off! He just said, "Not a problem!" Each time, I apologized for my language muzzle being off completely! A gentleman too! Holy moly-diff word wants out badly now! Nope! I'm serious! He couldn't have been more perfect if he'd tried! Not kidding here! He "warned" me, about how the tequila was processed to be clear. He explained that it might have lost some of its earthy flavors in this process. While I may not have been drinking, doesn't mean I haven't been keeping abreast of Industry! Well, not just abreast lol. Nevermind me plz! Nope! I even called him back after 1st sip & told him it was soo good. Yumm I'd completely forgotten how absolutely lovely numb can feel. Especially for a few minutes! I love being Alive, but, please forgive my language here-You were warned! Life ain't for puzies! I guess unless you're a cat. Pbtt. Numb is ok, if done under my unblinking eyes lol. Well, for me anyway! Terrence man, You saved me yesterday! Thank You Sir! I am indebted to you now. Thank you for your kindness, your time, your efforts & the absolutely perfect tequila yesterday! Thank You Every Day Sir, for your Respectful Kindness towards me, when I was literally falling apart Sir! It's Your Treatment Of Me I Shall Never Ever Forget! Not to mention any future sips of Excellent Tequila I drink. Holy Yumm! Infinite Thanks Terrence! Jolie xx & gratitude”

So many choices and you can get lost in here. The prices aren’t too bad, and they have a bunch of mini alcohol bottles at check out- a lot of them are just minis of the big bottles in store and they’re less than $2. Def worth it, and they have such a selection of them.”

1221 Ulster Ave, Kingston“If you need kegs in the Catskills, this is the place. I got married in Roxbury recently and Beer World took care of all our beer needs. Shank, Tor, and Cody made everything a breeze. They held my hand through the whole process, making sure we had enough for 100 thirsty guests plus taps and ice. There was even a snag with one of their suppliers recalling a brand. They contacted me immediately and subbed in a slightly more expensive option for no extra charge. Good beer, great dudes, and a seamless party provisioning process. Thanks Beer World!”
“Great selection of various domestic/imported beers & ciders.
Helpful staff willing to go over options with you (Thanks for the recommendation- cider was ACE!) would definitely recommend stopping by for a cold brewski after a hard climb/ hike/ bike etc!”

“Great selection and reasonable prices. Good for those wanting a decent inexpensive bottle of liquor or wine while a conversation with the owner will give you a world of options for something a little more exotic.”
