Dorrs Liquor Mart

This place rules. When i go in, they dont start a meaningless conversation that i dont want to have. They dont ask me if i need help which is perfect because i dont want any. I grab my beer and pay for it then say «have a good one» and they say «you too». Came thirsty, left prepared. 5 stars

Dorrs is a perfectly acceptable liquor store. I’ve gone in there and bought things and the people who work there have been polite and professional. Sure, there’s sports on tv but the staff doesn’t ignore a customer when it’s time to pay up or ask a question. I saw the slew of crummy reviews for Dorrs and had to speak up. I wonder if people expect a chorus line of guys in tuxedoes with top hats and canes to jump out singing «May weeee help yooouuuu?!» with giant smiles or something. The guys who work there just seem mellow and are decently personable. The prices are average. Dorr’s isn’t amazing but it isn’t awful, either!

Bought a pack of bottled Miller Lites and two of the eighteen were shattered upon opening. To top it off, there was no trace of liquid meaning they broke far before the time of purchase and dried up since then.
Given the other reviews of terrible customer service I chalked this up as a loss and will take my business just a few doors down.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I never write reviews on Unilocal for anything but I’ve never had a more unpleasant experience at a liquor store where I was about to spend 200+ dollars at, took my business elsewhere

Love this place they got the coldest fridges Of any liquer store around making there beer taste that much better on a hot summer day

Employee Rules For Working At Dorrs:
1. Never greet your customers. They don’t deserve a hello.
2. Refuse to break eye contact with the tv in the corner with the Sox/​Celtics/​Bruins game on.
3. Please ensure the store smells like a homeless persons taint.
4. Under any circumstances DO NOT thank your customers for their purchase. You are doing them the favor.

Ah, Dorrs. Shopping in here makes me nostalgic for Reservoir in Cleveland Circle. Dorrs is a little smaller, but it’s roughly the same set-​up, carries many of the same products, and is generally priced the similarly as Res. Dorrs carries your typical low-​end beers as well as a decent selection of things like Sam, Harpoon, Brooklyn, Blue Moon, some Magic Hat, seasonal beers, not to mention some wine and standard hard liquors. My favorite thing about this place is the fact that the owner places a large order of Sam Summer late August. That’s kind of a big deal, guys. The fact that it’s just up the street from me doesn’t hurt, either. As long as I’m living in Brighton Center, I’m sure I’ll be popping into Dorrs.

The people who work here have some sort of customer service problem. I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and not go as far as saying racist (we’re Asian) but we went up to the counter to ask for something behind it and the cashier never acknowledged us and never stopped the conversation he was having with someone else. We waited very awkwardly for at least 3 – 5 minutes before just leaving the store in disgust.

Dorrs is my «oh shit, we are running low on booze mid-​party!» go-​to place. Mostly, because I can walk there after I’ve already had a couple.
(However, I am such a fabulous hostess that this rarely happens.)
That being said. This is a decent place to hit if you are in the neighborhood and don’t need high-​end or obscure specifics. They have your Sam, Stella, Becks, Blue Moon, Harpoon, Leinenkugels, seasonals, etc. (Of course the cheap shit also abounds, i.e.: Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Michelob and so on.)
They have a wine selection, your basic hard liquors and a small freezer of mixers. The people behind the counter are short on friendly but are fast at least.
I guess the prices are standard… two 6-​packs for $ 19. Boo.

They have a pretty good assortment of cheap to average beer. 40’s are pretty common, small wine selection, and suprisingly: kegs. Not of bud light or budweiser, but of miller high life, natty light, and busch. They won’t tell you the price over the phone, and it’s been a while since I’ve purchased one there, but I remember it being mildly expensive.
A decent place for a quick 12 pack, 40, or a last ditch effort for a keg.

Decent neighborhood package store — I go there to buy Naragansett tall-​boys. You won’t find the latest and greatest w/​beer and wine, but you will find your standards — at a fair price. Guys behind the counter aren’t jerks.

Good prices, and the owner is very nice. He will usually order anything you want and has some great recommendations.

This isn’t the place to find that new Spanish wine you’ve been looking to try, but you will find great prices on the more popular wines, beers & spirits.
