City Sliquors

Great liquor store. I have been buying liquor there since it was opened by the original owner. The current owners have done an amazing job building on the former owners legacy. It is so nice to walk in there and be treated like a regular. They are dog friendly and are always happy to see my dog. They have an extensive line of wine and liquor and are more than happy to order any special items. When I asked if they knew about a particular bourbon, they went ahead and got it for me. If you live in Astoria, you owe it to yourself to stop in. I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

If you’re here you will find what you are looking for that’s a guarantee however the area is not great I always do that shopping early and enjoy the sweet nectar this place sells

Small– close to home and good prices. Bonus for late hours.
This is a lot closer than walking towards the train station. Will def come back. Good selection Pinot Grigio

Nice family run joint.
The store is well lit and well equipped. The prices are reasonable and they have a loyalty card system where 10 points gets you 10 bucks off a purchase.

I love this liquor store for many reasons. From the outside it does seem a bit like a grocery or bodega, which you might easily just pass by and ignore. However, inside is where all the magic is – it’s well-​organized, clean, and modern-​looking. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. For example, they held a bottle of liquor for me until I arrived and seemed really cheerful and happy to help me.
This place has a great selection of whiskeys, which you can’t always find everywhere. Also, I would say the prices are pretty competitive. I came all the way out here from jersey City and I’m ready to do it again!

I will preface this by saying that we live in the neighborhood and had been loyal customers of City Sliquors for many years. Note the word «had» is in the past tense. The one time, out of many purchases, we bought a bottle of wine that we thought was sour and tried to exchange it and the second bottle we had purchased, we were refused. After arguing, they finally exchanged one of the bottles. Bottom line, the customer service is terrible. If that’s the way they treat a loyal customer, than they don’t deserve our business. Never again!

Great prices, don’t let the size of the store fool you b/​c they have a great selection (they have my favourite wines at least) and above all the friendliest people work there.

What a great place! The owner and the staff have a passion for recommending a wine you may like with a meal.
I think you can go in there and tell them you’re having a bowl of dirt and they would know what wine you should drink with it.
I challenge you to go in there and tell them what you’re eating for dinner and see if it works out.
They have been right on every time. Maybe I’m easy to please. Who knows.
Go check it out

Good place. Nice people.

Nice staff. They know my usual! I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not! heh.
But, nice selection and nice folks make for a nice liquor store.
They’re open late too which is always a plus.
GO!

I walked all the way up here in search of one thing RYE. On my travels I stopped at a few other places which either had none or one choice. For some reason Queens or Astoria doesn’t seem to be into Rye. Anyway I was pleased that they had 4 – 5 different kinds to choose from. Also while I was their, they had a wine tasting that of course I had to sample the fine wines.
Overall good selection, the prices were reasonable, only bad thing for me is that it is far.

This liquor store is down the street from my friend’s place and became the last stop every evening. Yes, we thought we bought enough wine the first evening, but quickly realized we were dead wrong!
The wine choices are plentiful and priced well. My only itty-​bitty issue? The staff pays no attention. I had a few questions, but had to ask several times, before getting a response, which was not that specific. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem picking my own wine, but would welcome a helpful hint every now and again!

Great selection of wine and liquor paired with friendly, knowledgeable staff thats always good for a laugh while youre paying. Very pleased that they offered white wine already chilled!

1) Amazing name
2) Walked in and was offered free samples of 2 wines – yes please!
3) Was also offered a free shot of grape vodka – obviously I took them up on that
4) Walked out with a jug of Carlo Rossi to make sangria
5) Pure class

I have been meaning to stop by this place for at least the last year and last night I finally did. Not only am I a sucker for cute pun names, I couldn’t get over just about every Unilocal! review raving about the great service.
The Team at City Sliquors didn’t disappoint on my visit. The hubby was in the mood for some sangria and texted me to pick up some Carlo Rossi on my way home. We are talking the cheapest of the cheap stuff here. I didn’t anticipate more than a directional finger when I asked where the Carlo Rossi jugs were but the guy behind the counter walked out from behind and stuck with me while I waited for hubby to confirm through text which one he wanted. He suggested that if making sangria, not to go with sangria but to go with paesano or: I think: zinfandel instead since the sangria is so sweet to begin with. Having had them all I completely agree with him but I sure appreciated that he was so willing to assist when I was in all likelihood picking up one of the lowest priced items in the store.
City Sliquors has won me as a customer moving forward.
Day 5 — «June Challenge: A-​B-​C!»

Love my local liquor store! The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner Scott is awesome.
When we were planning our wedding, we needed about 60 airplane-​sized bottles of Jack Daniels for our gift bags. Not only did Scott order them for us, but he gave us a better price than we found anywhere else. He also called us to keep us updated on the delivery status since we had cut it a little close with our deadline.
This place has a great selection of wine and whiskey… and definitely try the moonshine they just got in! If you don’t see what you need, just ask to see if they can get it.

Love, Love, Love this store.
The entire staff is great. I like the spanish women the best. She is super nice and always has good suggestions.
They started off with slim pickings of liquors but greatly improved. Now they have a good selection, good prices and free wine and liquor tastings. This is the only liquor store I go to.

This is the best liquor store in Astoria. The place is extremely clean, has a ton of inventory, and the people are soooo friendly there.
I had a few questions about different types of wines and whiskeys and the guy was able to answer all my questions. He was a really nice guy. Plus the name of the place is great!

If there’s one thing I like is a liquor store that will buy 100 proof Southern Comfort by the case for me to purchase. I asked every bar and liquor store about it for over a year and was told that 100 proof SoCo was a myth but I knew that it wasn’t. I had seen it at a supermarket in LA!
When this place opened I immediately asked the owner if he carried it and he said he didn’t but said he could order a case of it and he’d start carrying it in a few weeks… what? really? Okay. Two weeks I was able to prove everyone one. It was not just a myth. Deliciousness did come in 100 proof!
Overall the place is in a great location and the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable.

This place consists of friendly employees with great alcohol! The prices are decent and it’s the only NICE looking alcohol store in this neighborhood. There is another one on Astoria Blvd, Dominique’s but it is not like this place. If you need something to your taste, these people will help you. They are knowledgeable of what they are selling and they have a variety of excellent products. If you are looking for an alcohol set as a gift, they have those here too!
Definitely check this place out for your wine to dine with or that bottle of vodka you are taking to a party.
