Crosstown Liquors

To be honest, I had very low expectations going into this place. It looked a bit dingy from the outside, but it’s in my new neighborhood and open late (open late=great).
So I go in, and am delighted by three things. The customer service is solid, but more importantly, THE PRICES AND SELECTION ARE INCREDIBLE. The prices were even better than the place I thought had the best prices in town. I am now super grateful this place in in my new neighborhood.
Don’t go here if you want a fancy place where a hipster over-​charges you for something, go here to get a solid selection at unbeatable prices

One of my friend told me this store because of the low prices.
Honestly, Crosstown has everything that you need in a liquor store — an impressive range in selection for liquor. Whether you are looking for a fine wine or the latest flavor of Nuvo. Crosstown Liquors is the place to go!

Its guys like Mr. Crownlfc C. here who walk into the MET and whine that no one there knows how to party. Where did you think you were, DUMBO?
No, the 3 Asian gentlemen who work there aren’t gonna shmooze with you through the plexi glass for 5 minutes about the level of tannins in the Sweet Bitch wine (yeah, they sell that). Abject apologies all around, but the lovely lady who just sauntered in behind you already know what SHE wants (vodka nips and to play her lucky number) and times a wastin’. They will, however, nicely and quickly sell you a 1.5L bottle of GatoNegro Cabernet Sauvignon for a mere $ 10. PLUS I just saw that they are now stocking purple Hypnotic. True story.
No fuss. No frills. It’s right near the subway, and there’s a pizza spot next door. Hence, «Yay! I’m a fan.»

It’s stores like these that makes one beg for gentrification. Once you make your way past the serial panhandler and the hangers on loitering in front, you then have to deal with the plexi-​glass and a severely limited wine selection — they do sell lotto tickets though.
The staff can be indifferent to downright rude (the guy walked away from me once, after fifteen seconds and told me I was «wasting his time,» pondering what bottle of wine to purchase, ironic, since they know nothing to recommend anything.
If you are a wanna-​be thug looking for a bottle of Hennessy to go with your dice game — this place is perfect. For everyone else — with a job, hop off the train on your way from work, in Downtown Brooklyn and get your spirits/​wine in a store run by professionals.
*** Wake up Trish D and work on your math skills, if you can’t tell the difference between 15 seconds and 5 minutes, you should probably consider sobriety — based on your other reviews, excessive «boozing» seem to be clouding your judgement. ***
