Mall Discount Liquors & Wines

We are never going to this place again! If I could give this a zero, I would. Not only were we profiled, the selection was paltry and overpriced. The people who run this place are not friendly, and they made it very clear that we were not welcome. The cashier grudgingly took our money and barely acknowledge us. Everyone should stay away and they deserve to go out of business.

This place is absolute trash, most of their booze is way overpriced and today I went in to buy beer and it was completely skunked. Poor service, poor selection, and overall just a sad excuse for supposedly «discount» store

We only go here because it’s on the way to another young couple’s apartment that we hang out with a lot. It’s small and connects to a T.J. Maxx and has a decent selection but it’s definitely a «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» If we are anywhere down near the intersection of Harvard St and Comm Ave, we normally go to Blanchards. I agree with another Unilocaler who noted that Mall Discount Liquors & Wines doesn’t seem to discount much. The prices are standard for Boston liquor stores and that means no discount. Overall, very Meh.

«Discount» must be a typographical error; it’s more expensive across the board for beer and liquor. Perhaps they meant «disco»? My wife became claustrophobic due to their narrow aisles and loud music.
That said, not every place sells cases of bad cheap macros, including Hieneken in 30 pack cans. I suppose it might be good for provisioning frat parties too small for a keg.

I don’t see what the «discount» part is, but the store is easily navigable & has a decent selection of beers. It is convenient that there is parking available, but so does Blanchard’s & they are more affordable.

I just think that for the selection available, they charge way too much. For a 6 of beer, I expect to not pay $ 9.00. Walk a block to Blanchard’s and pay half the price, or head to GPS in Coolidge Corner for cheaper liquor.

Nothing but meh.
Not a very large beer selection, and what they do have is way overpriced. I always end up walking the extra block to Marty’s and getting something more interesting for much cheaper.
They stopped carding me a week after I moved into the neighborhood. That either means that Mall has personal, friendly service, or I’m turning into an alky. Hope springs eternal, I’m going to go with the latter.

I wouldn’t say they have the best prices. I have found better. They had Walker Red Label, which is awesome though. They don’t have a huge selection though.
TJ MAXX right next door so you can shop too :)

I like this place! I just moved to Allston from Dallas and live about a block down. Needless to say I needed wine (or something) for all the unpacking and especially after the cross-​country drive. My boyfriend and I had taken the dog for a walk and I stuck my head in first to ask if I could bring her in — «No problem!» So we picked out three decent bottles of wine for prices that I consider very fair. When we were carded, the guy behind the counter was really friendly, called us each by our first names and introduced himself. I held the dog the whole time, but probably could’ve set her down, I don’t think he would have minded. I’ll be back… still unpacking and kinda need something.
Update: Sent my dad over there last night to get more wine. I guess we bought the last three bottles of my fav (cheap) cab last time we went in. The guy looked in the back for my dad, then told him he’d order more, and recommended another (also cheap) bottle. It was good. And my dad said the guy — who sounds like the same one — was really helpful and friendly. I think his name was Joe. :)

It really IS a mall, but even cooler because it’s stocked full of alcohol. Now that they’ve renovated their store, I swear they have an even bigger stock! The store is better lit and there are more aisles of liquor. They even had wine tastings on Saturdays. I swear, there was always a case of beer on sale. They fulfilled all our alcoholic beverage needs… they even had «exotic» liquors. My husband had a hankering for Amarula Cream (African liqueur)…and they actually had it! Extra bonus: they’re open on Sundays (limited hours).

Under new ownership! So, am I the first to review?! Where is my little blue number 1 ribbon thingy?
Anyway, Mall Discount Liquors was closed temporally. Since then they reopened as Mall Discount Liquors. Some more apparent changes to the store include widening the isles, cleaning and the best new addition– Fernando! This man works hard! There was a stretch where for one reason or another I stopped in for six straight days and he was there every time. Always polite.
The store has a decent selection of beer, wine and liquor. If you’re looking for micro-​brews head elsewhere.

I’m lazy and this liquor store is the closest to my house (via a walk). It serves its purpose and as far as I know the prices are comparable to other stores in the area. They have cheap kegs too (something like $ 40 for a keg of Miller Lite I think). The wine selection isn’t incredible but it isn’t bad and they definitely have all your usual poisons (vodka, tequila, rum etc.) as well as a good selection of beers. You can go to the TJMaxx next door and then go pick up something here after a long shopping trip…

This was my favorite little liquor spot when I live in Allston!!! The Russian family that owns it is super-​nice, and they remember everyone who comes in.
One time, I walked in to get some beer and the older son came up to me to say that they had gotten a wine in stock that I had asked about weeks before! I had even forgotten about it! Now, that’s service… plus, they always had a pack of Camel Lights (or the «buy one, get one free» packs, if they had it) on the counter waiting for me. It’s just nice to be able to walk into an establishment and have everyone know exactly what you need.
Their prices are about the same as Marty’s, although I found Mall Discount to be much cheaper than Brookline Liquors. They don’t have a bad selection of wines and liquors, and they have most of the beers you need. If you looking for something exotic, go to Marty’s. Otherwise, Mall Discount is where it’s at.
