Gary’s Wine & Liquor

This place is the best.
I just moved, and I’m realizing how good I had it.
They have a great selection, are well organized, and the prices are solid. The owner works there most nights and is great.
They are open late every night, except on Sundays, so plan ahead.
If you are in the area, definitely go to Garry’s.

Bought an expensive bottle of wine here last December as a gift for my future daughter in laws mother. Opened a month later and it was bad. Returned and replaced but when second bottle was opened last week with a rotting cork they are telling me it’s because the cork was not opened right and the wine tastes fine. The wine is the color of orange and smells bad. Will not buy here again and challenging the charge with American Express. Stay tuned for updates

I adore this shop and its owners, a lovely family. Prices are fair, and while you aren’t going to find that rare/​prized bottle of wine, there’s definitely something for everyone, for every budget. They are super sweet to my young kid, always giving her special treats and talking with her. As a wine lover, I’ve frequented every shop in the area, but Gerry’s is my favorite for good service (i.e. not snooty like a lot of wine shops around here), good prices, and good wine!

Now this is my 3^rd Liquor and Wine store review in a row. You might think I am an Alcohol… I say Wino. WHY NO… Get it :)
The guy that owns this place is Great He is from Ukraine… and I dont think his name is Garry :)
I went in one day asking for a bottle Antarctican Wine. His response was «Do you want northern or southern Antartican?» We hit it off right away :)
I like going here!

This place has a dedicated section for wines from Portugal. Not Spain/​Portugal, just Portugal. And not like some ports only — ports, vinho verde, Alentejo, etc.
So this is the only place I buy wine now.

It’s Garry’s with two R’s!
They look like they have a good wine section, but I was looking for some hardcore booze. All the liquor is located behind the bar, which is kind of annoying. They have a decent selection, but nothing out of the ordinary. They don’t have anything non-​alcoholic that you would need for your cocktail bar either. A little pricier than the bulletproof glass liquor store on 4^th, but a better experience, I suppose.

Very poor customer service and sexist owner. My husband and I have regularly purchased wine here for over a year. Today we got home with our bottle and the wine was corked. The tell-​tale signs were there: crumbling cork (tried two different openers) and a faint vinegary smell through the broken cork. When I went back to Gary’s to return the wine, I smiled at the owner (who had helped us 20 mins earlier and knows my husband well), showed him the top of the bottle, and said, «Hi, Unfortunately this cork seems to be bad.» He immediately replied, with a mocking smirk, «No. Your opener is bad.» He attempted to open the bottle himself, rolling his eyes and mumbling under his breath. After trying unsuccessfully for 5 minutes — leaving crumbled cork all over the counter — he walked over and picked up another bottle of wine, walked back to the counter and said, in an irritated and condescending tone, «I will open this one.» I took the wine before he could open it and left. Because it was clear to me he would not treat me with any respect, my husband went back to confront him about his customer service. His first response? «I know how wives can be. My wife is like that sometimes too.» Don’t support this guy. There are too many other wine stores in the neighborhood and this old-​school sexist nonsense is absurd.

This place is not on Flatbush anymore but right next to Barn (Farm). They have good selection for my budget (under $ 20 a bottle.) They will also deliver for free to your place.
I went in the other day and the wife was watching the store. It’s the first time I have seen her there. She was a really nice Russian lady. She recommended a bunch of bottles that turned out great. She also gave me 10% for buying 6 bottles.
When the lady is not there, tough luck getting a recommendation. I usually just go in and pick what I have already tried.
I don’t remember their hours of operation. But whenever I need to buy wine, they’re always open.

Terrible. Workers are smug and don’t care. Selection is sparse and prices are way high, go to Asian owner place on fifth by the key food instead.

Good selection. Good prices. Clean and attractive store. Open late too. But, the guy working there had either no interest or no ability to tell me anything about the wines.
ME: (standing in front of the NYS wines section) Oh, how are the New York wines? I didn’t know there were many vineyards in the state.
HIM: (walking slowly from the counter to where I was standing in front of the NYS wines section) Yes, New York wines. These are the ny wines
HIM: (points at wines in front of me; walks back to counter).

You can remove the Inc. and it’s the say tired old Gary’s Wines and Liquor.

Decent wine store with really solid service from the owner. They don’t have a crazy big selection, but if you need something in a pinch I’d recommend Garry’s in a second.

First off, they moved location to 80 St. Marks Ave (next to Flatbush Farm) and they fancied up the place. However, the last time I went in for some white rum, they didn’t have any and acted like I was crazy because I wanted regular, un-​spiced rum. How can you call yourself a liquor store without carrying normal rum?! Awful, just awful.
Gary’s new location replaced a dirty filthy Chinese restaurant and I wish that restaurant would come back.

Garry’s is just a solid local wine store. It’s not fancy, but they have a nice selection and Lenny, the proprietor of the store, will make a very good recommendation based on your price range. And he won’t look at you sideways if you’re price range is, «ehhh, about $ 15.»
