Huge alcohol selection at this place, especially the wine and liquor, but the beer selection is also very good with a wide selection of local, national, and international selections of different styles and high quality.

Stopped by here when visiting relatives nearby. Plenty of parking on this conveniently located place right off Route 20 right near I-84 and the Mass Pike. The store is massive from the inside. When you enter, there are rows and rows of liquor and wine. You have to go in the back to find their beer and its a lot of it. Lots of good Massachusetts and national beer places are all placed against the wall spreading out the entire length of the store; though near the end on the right were some imports. I walked back and forth and was pretty impressed with the selection. Ended up getting some Night Shift (local) and Prairie Artisan (not local). I didn't really ask for service, but i may have wanted to since i was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff there. I will say though they seemed very well staffed; lots of people on the floor walking around checking inventory and helping other customers and lots of workers at the check out lines. The only real downside was the kind of bland atmosphere to the facility. It was not too vibrant or eye catching. It felt like an old department store. I know that is not a huge issue with a place with great, quality selection, but it did lower points in the vibe category.
Overall, a fantastic place that has a great, easy to get to location more most New Englanders.

Stopped here after a Tree House run. Trillium bombers in the cooler. Picked up Mettle, Congress Street. Beer guy came by and brought out additional Trillium from the back as customers inquired. Very cool. Also picked up Firestone Walker 4 packs. Single Cut and Stillwater also available. Incredible selection and proximity to Tree House makes this a must stop. Also, Trillium prices were same as at the brewery!

Nice big selection that I was happy to see. Being from Pennsylvania, I was in Yankee Beer Heaven finding all types of Micros that I can not buy in PA.. Rock ON!

Stopped in on a whim on my way to Tree House Brewing. Did not know what kind of experience awaited me. After finding my way to the craft section, I was blown away at the selection that sat in front of me. Cascade sours, some Lost Abbey, as well as a bevy of local offerings. The IPAs were all within date, which is a huge plus for this place. I would definitely stop again if Im ever on this side of the state again

Walked in and it seems like its an old Marshalls. Huge wine selection and was able to find a few hard to find bottles my wife wanted. the cold beer selection is small but tons of room temp bottles on the back wall. Able to find some hard-to-find like Night Shift. Walked out with a trunk full.
