This place is great. Happy, Friendly and Courteous. Great selection and they refill growlers. I have to buy a growler.
Sad to hear about Guinness. They have a new dog — Neapolitan Mastiff named Grigio

I trekked out to find this place after seeing the extensive beer list on their website. They had almost none of what they listed on their website. I asked the gentleman working there where the Westbrook Mexican Cake was, and his reply was «that’s not out yet. It sells out immediately anyway». I found six bottles in Brooklyn, no problem. Many of the beers on the shelves were old and past their prime. I do not like being misled. Stay away.

Incredible selection. They have a beer cave! Plus they do growler fills of really amazing beer. a 64 oz growler fill of Hopslam was just $ 16. Check it out, they do real well.

This is a good place to stock up on craft beer by the pack. Not the best I’ve ever seen, but by Astoria standards this is as good as it gets if you really need to stock your fridge! They carry a pretty large selection of (mostly Belgian) imports and craft American brews. I didn’t see anything really unexpected or rare here, but there was a good range of styles and some seasonal selection!
The main downside of this place is that it’s not a very fun store to browse– it’s got dingy, chilly warehouse vibe that didn’t encourage me to stay any longer than necessary!

Lots of good beer obliviously that’s why I can here, I wish they had more of a selection for cold beer though. The Belgian section did have a bunch that I have not had before, but overall pretty much the standard beers with a bunch that I could not find. Pretty close to me which is a plus and the prices are cheaper than Euro Market.

Beer me-​ing yourself has never been so convenient. They’ve gotten a pretty decent selection as well, and all the my personal standbys are kept nice and cold in the freezer.
Some might complain about this place being a bit difficult to get to, but there is an M60 bus that can take you really close, about a block away. If you’re tired of overpaying for 6 packs at your local bodegas in the area, take a trip down to this joint.

Can’t beleive such a beer mecca exists. This place has all the types of beer you could ask for with a huge walk in fridge section and plenty of craft beers sold by the pack. Even better is that there is some parking out front (who can carry so many beers home on foot?)
Highly recommend if you want to stock up on some great beers and impress your friends

I would probably never come here if not for Unilocal.On a last minute search for my summer beer staples, I came to Tri-​Boro (it was getting late, they close at 8pm).
The place is not huge but they pack a great variety of craft beer and imports. The prices are clearly marked on the shelf and I must say that you won’t get a bargain but they are fairly priced in NYC.
The staff were a bunch of guys and they were super nice and helpful. I’ll definately be back for more.
p. s. There is parking in the front.

This place really does get some great new craft beer shipments. They update their selection on BeerMenu in case you want to check on things before you go.
The owner was knowledgeable and helpful.

Tri-​Boro Beverage is a beer mecca. They have an amazing selection of beer and even better, they’re over here on my side of the ‘hood.
The prices are great here and if you love beer you might end up leaving with more than you planned on. They have a really interesting selection of different beers, lots of American brands and tons of imports too. It’s a chill atmosphere, the people working there definitely let you take your time searching through all of the amazingness that is their beer selection.

A decent selection of beers in Astoria for a reasonable price (for Astoria). The guys working there seem pretty friendly and they have rotating drafts for growler refills.
A little downside — unless you’re around the area or have a car, pretty hard to get to. Also, can’t make your own 6-​pack (for the indecisive).
Go here for cheap options on bulk beer buying, but for selection try Community Beverage or Astoria Bier & Cheese.

I preface this by saying my boyfriend is a craft beer lover, I think the two of us could have spent a couple of hours in here sifting through the shelves and we would still not have unearthed all it had to offer. GREAT BEER SELECTION!!! I think he was in heaven.
We ended up taking home the Voodoo Donut (bacon and maple brew) from Rogue and another beer that we have yet to try. I was really impressed with the guys behind the counter too, friendly/​chill. This place has a good vibe for a shop. When we were leaving two associates were helping a customer load up his vehicle with his order (trunk full of beer) which I thought was pretty cool.
We will be coming here again for sure, but not as often as we like, because everything we buy we have to carry (better for car-​driving customers buying in bulk).
Wish I had noticed they fill growlers, we totally missed that.

My biggest gripe about living in Astoria is how much more expensive beer is than the surrounding neighborhoods. When I first moved here it was sticker shock and weird attempts at raising my eyebrow or a funny look as if someone laid a deadly silencer on an elevator or escalator whenever I bought something. Three years later I’ve become immune to it. That was until I Stepped foot into Tri-​Boro and nearly soiled myself. If God had created heaven on earth, ladies and gentlemen, I just found it!
Great service. Quick and attentive
taps to fill up a growler to go
GREAT craft beer selection

Quite possibly the best craft beer store in Queens!
I came here based on the glowing Unilocal reviews — trust me, they’re well-​deserved. Quality and wide-​ranging craft beer selection, very rare beers available on shelf, cheap growlers, and a parking lot.
I am very used to NJ pricing after living there for 4.5 years — for the selection, Tri-​Boro offers the closest to this, maybe 5−10% more on average. Compared to most stores which are 20−50% more than NJ. . not bad!
Great selection too — smaller than the Whole Foods on Houston, but bigger than most other stores in NYC. Sizable cold box and warm shelves too. On the day I was there I found the Stone bi-​annual Cali-​Belgique on shelf, Stone Enjoy By on draft, a sizable Belgian selection, Founders Bolt Cutter bottles, Speedway Stout. .. pretty good options.
Helpful staff too, in a place best reached by car — come here and stock up, you won’t be sorry!

Best beer spot ever! Awesome selection of beers, although prices are jacked up it’s still worth it because all of the variety they have.

Great selection. No frills but are you really looking for frills at a place to buy beer? awesome that when you spend more than 15 bucks, they’ll give you a free pint glass if you check in with foursquare. Guys are cool and laid back at the shop.

Sunnyside, NY
Went to this beer/​soda/​ice distributor for ice just last Sunday and I mainly went to pet Guinness! I pulled up and got out and both my significant other and I were greeted by him. After the initial greeting of checking us out then someone came out and took our order for ice. While waiting for our ice order we continued to pet Guinness and tried to stop petting him for a split second and he stared at the both of us as to say… umm I didnt tell you that you could stop petting me… keep going…
So in summation… you can order a whole glacier, soda, and beer and get to visit with a black great dane and feel safe and your beverage needs met all in one trip.
