I love this store and the staff. They are knowledgable and kind and they offer the very best prices on the widest selection of wines. Always helpful and ready to make a helpful suggestion. Recently I lost a glove in the dead of winter and when I called the store the woman who answered actually went out to the parking lot in the bitter cold to look for it. If that’s not 5 stars, what is?

I have used this liquor store for purchase of wine for the last several months. Today is the last day I think I will buy from them. The man who works at the register needs to go to class 101 for customer service. I usually buy a couple of cases, because my husband and I entertain quite a bit. Today was the straw that broke the camels back. I asked if someone could help me with getting the cases in the car. Apparently it’s not in his job description, but he did take one case, oh and by the way, informed me I could take the other — placed it in my car trunk turned around without a word and went back to the store. Other stores also provide discounts, and treatment is much better. Something I cannot say about this place. Shop elsewhere!

Great place for wine. Another Unilocaler said Parkway has a better selection. I’m not sure that’s fair. Parkway has shelves and shelves of plonk. When it comes down to interesting wine that’s actually worth buying, Liquortown is the place to go. Prices are great, excellent variety, and knowledgeable staff.

This is my go-to place for liquor and wine in town. I’ve always had a pleasant experience with the people who work there. They’re also very knowledgeable. My boyfriend is a bartender and it’s nice to know that they’ve got an idea of what they’re selling, especially when he’s shopping around to make a new drink for his menu. They’ve also got a decent selection of Finger Lakes Wines. I’m an FLX fanatic and it’s great because the employees have easy access to the wineries for tastings and what-have-you, so they know what they’re bringing to the shelves firsthand. And as stated in previous reviews, they do have great prices. I’ve found that they are at least a dollar less in pricing that Leroy Package and other smaller stores around Binghamton.

Look, I know I have a baby face and all, but when you frequent a place to buy wine, etc., you shouldn’t need to feel like a slightly-underaged college kid sneaking in with a fake ID to buy Barton’s in a plastic bottle. Seriously, they are so grumpy here. Good selection, but it’s not worth feeling like a criminal. I recommend the Leroy Package Store.

Good prices. Selection was more great than I thought it would be. Love the 15% discount off of 6 bottles. Not much else that I can say. I think I’ll be going back.

Liquor Town is small. It’s sort of hidden.(Between the Vestal post office and a consignment shop.) The selection isn’t as extensive as Parkway(down the parkway, natch), but it has great prices… lower than most stores even before the added discounts. Buy 6 bottles of wine, get 15% off each one. If, however, one of the 6 is already on sale, you don’t get an additional 15% off, but it still counts towards making the 6 bottle minimum, thus letting you get the discount on the eligible bottles. Make sense? Most other liquor stores require you to buy a full case before giving their discount. (The discount on hard liquor is less. 5%? I don’t buy much hard liquor, so I’m not quite sure.) You can always find standard faves(say, get a bottle of the ubiquitous, middle-brow, but yummy K-J Chardonnay for $ 10.50 or so — this is much appreciated when most restaurants curiously charge $ 7 or $ 7.5 for a single glass of it!). But you can also discover something new.
