Queens Wines and Liquors

An excellent choice! Very large store with a wide selection and very helpful staff. Reasonable prices. Worth a drive even if (like me) you don’t live in the neighborhood!

I have been going there sporadically for years, mainly for gift purchases as I drink little.
This place has an amazing selection on display and the only place I am aware of that carries a line of Eastern European wines.
My girlfriend who does our wine purchases there swears by the recommendations of the store’s wine expert who can usually be found helping customers among the wine racks.
Great selection, expert help, decent prices — what else could one want?

I’ve lived in Ridgewood for 10 years, and sadly this liquor store houses some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The sour faced woman with dark hair never ceases to give me a hard time when paying with my debit card from a shared checking account with my husband (even though we shop together there regularly and have made substantial purchases over the years for holiday and family gatherings). The same woman also turned my husband away on a separate occasion because the signature on the back of his card was too faded for her to read, even though he provided proper identification and has never had an issue with anyone else that works there, including the manager. They have a great selection of wine, which is a shame, because I won’t be returning nor sending them any more business from my neighborhood. They must be doing pretty well to turn away good, hardworking customers.

This is the largest wine/​liquor store I have ever been to. It’s actually overwhelming, how huge it is! There’s aisles and aisles of wine from every region you can think of, every sort of liquor, every sort of mixer. I’m not much of a wine/​hard alcohol drinker (more of a beer girl), but when I am in the mood for wine, I definitely want to come back. However, there’s so many options, a visit to this place can take a pretty long time.

Needed some wine for a party. They had it. Lots of it.

My whole family and many friends shop there. It’s funny how every single one us have said, «You know I went to Queens Liquors and they followed me around the store.» I noticed they follow ALL their customers around the store. They followed me even after I made my purchases. I forgot something and and some guy followed me up and down 3 idles just starring at me. It’s really NOT customer service! It’s disturbing. They even had some ghetto guy in there who followed me up and down, up and down every isle trying to pick me up even after I told him leave me alone. «Come on ma, I wanna gets to know you.» Really? This store should look up what harassment and discrimination does to business. I have personally made sure everyone I know does not shop there anymore. My word spreads fast. All the stuff there I can get at other liquor stores that might not be as close to my house but provide better customer service then this dump!

Though I live in Brooklyn, I used to shop here for Borghetti Caffe Sport Espresso Liqueur. When I went today, I was told they will no longer be carrying it, & was recommended Kahlua Midnight coffee liqueur instead which, as it turns out, tastes awful and is double the price. Unfortunately, I won’t be shopping here any more.

Great selection of wines and liquors that are not behind bulletproof glass! Just grabbed a chilled btl of white wine, but will be back for sure. My new go-​to packie.

One of the best liquor stores in the Ridgewood area. Perfect place to shop for a drinkable gift. From the vintage neon sign and window display to the inside layout, it’s a classic old school liquor store. The way they used have liquor stores back in the day. It’s the way liquor stores should be. That’s actually the reason for this four star rating. Oh yeah, and the variety. Plenty of firewater variety. The only thing is, it’s not exactly that close to my house. So I usually shop somewhere nearby.
There’s a selection of Polish and German solvents in case you’re looking for a bit of Eastern European flavor. I wonder if they carry mead? I’ll keep that in mind for next time. Gives me an excuse.

This is probably the best liquor store in the area. I rather drive 2 miles than walk up the block to the nearest store. You will mosy likely find what you are looking for here and the staff is very nice… just ask for help!

I love queens wines and liquors. Great selection and staff. One staffer schooled me on rums and made a great suggestion for a rum to purchase for a gift. Plus they have a good selection of the «airplane» bottles of wine that I use for cooking.

I was intrigued by the classic neon sign the first time I strolled through the neighborhood, but was unaware at the extent of what lie inside. This, my friend, is the largest wine & liquor store I’ve been to in this city.
A woman greets you at the door with free samples of some oversweet liqueur. Looking for wine from Moldova? How about something in a castle-​shaped bottle? The aisle full of liquor gift-​sets may be an economical way to purchase a new flask.
The staff are pretty knowledgeable. You’ll find something you like.

It’s a liquor store!
It’s huge, and things aren’t kept behind a bulletproof-​glass window. The selection is pretty big and the prices are right, and there’s a good bunch of stuff you’re not likely to find elsewhere with a section catering to the Eastern European community in the area. But it’s not really the place to go if you’re looking for specialty local craft organic buzzword wines.
