Tops Wines & Liquors

the downfall — they charge $ 10.00 for delivery!

Our wedding caterer recommended Jeff for our wedding day. He was such a pleasure to work with. We went in to the shop to taste wine and talk logistics. The tasting was free AND he let us take home the bottles to make sure we liked them! He was always professional, but also so personable. The whole experience made me feel confident and relaxed for the day of the wedding. It’s not exactly in my neighborhood, but I will be making the extra trek to shop here. And without a doubt, Jeff will be my go to for our next event!

There are two listings for «Tops» here on Unilocal,same address. Not sure why. Anyway, I love this store, I have been coming here since before they expanded, and I am a very satisfied customer. 5 stars.

Jeff is always helpful and has an extensive knowledge of wines. Every wine Jeff has recommended to me has been excellent .I recommend this store for its great prices on wines and Jeff’s great service.

Very helpful staff and extremely neat shopping set up. Plus, I couldn’t believe there was a tasting bar in the back! I’ve been a customer for several years (even before they were at their first original location, down the street), and it’s so pleasantly surprising that the owners always recognize my husband and I. «Jeff’s Picks» are my first look options, but if I’m looking for something different for a holiday, Jeff and his staff are available for great recommendations. Love this place!!!

I’ve been to tops a few times. Great selection of wine! Jeff and Merrie are the best!

How do you choose from such a big variety of wines and liquor.
They have everything under the sun, well not literly but so many brands, be careful you might walk out with more lol

Best prices and great selection

If you’re a person that loves to get followed around and profiled this is the place for you !
They have such a wide selection of wine (which is the only reason I come back time and time again) but every time I do I feel uncomfortable and just want to get my stuff and get out.
My latest visit has to be by far one of the worst experiences I’ve had here so far.
I was meeting up my brother to pick up a bottle of vodka for a party we were going to be attending on the weekend. I told him I would meet him inside since I got a bit sidetracked at work. Right before I walked in I received a text from him which was very upsetting, and I quote «Can you please hurry up. I don’t like being profiled». As soon as I walked in I could spot him right away. How? Well there were about 3 employees «stocking shelves» around him and the older gentleman standing maybe 2 feet away staring at him. When I walked towards him he just gave me such an unwelcoming look. I asked my brother if he needed anything else if not let’s just get what we need and leave. As I walked towards the vodka section with him I could see from the corner of my eye the older gentleman staring at us as we walked away. We get to the vodka section and look for the one that we needed. About 5 seconds later I turn my head and there he is at the end of the aisle staring us down. At this point I just wanted to get out. I grabbed 2 bottles and walked away, to where he then proceeded to follow us to the register and watch until we left. There were many other people in the store at time which he could have helping, but was so persistent on making sure we didn’t steal anything.
On a positive note the employes I’ve encountered on other occasions are sweet and know when to leave you alone when you say «No, thank you»

Joining Brian S. below, this also my first Unilocal review, but I just had to write this considering the absolutely disgusting experience we had. Went buy holiday wines for our party, nice selection, bought over $ 260 worth, and when we asked to wrap 1 bottle of champagne we were informed it would cost $ 1 extra. My wife mentioned to the female manager/​owner that it seemed wrong and in response woman said and I quote «when I buy a $ 1000 pair of Loubitons I have to pay to get them wrapped too at Neiman Marcus.» What a jerk, kindest word I can find. So lady, take your $ 1000 Loubitons and your disgusting attitude and stick them where the sun don’t shine. It’s not the charge for wrapping, it’s your nasty, fire back at the customer mindset that is intolerable. That $ 1 for wrapping was the last dollar I or anyone I ever talk to about buying wine will spend at your crap store. I’d rather pay twice the price at a place where at least they know how to treat people (BTW, she was also publicly berating the staff). Also, prices are not so great, some were way above Brooklyn Liqours at Costco, try there instead, or anywhere else.

Decent prices, good selection. If you want expert help talk to elderly staff, young ones don’t know what they’re talking about. Also don’t expect a thank you from cashier.

Expensive! Bought Wild Turkey 101 (i liter) for $ 31.99 w/​o tax and Bulliet orange for $ 36.99. Went to the new liquor store on Nostrand and Ave Y and the Wild Turkey was 23.99 and the Bulliet was $ 31.99. Big diff.

Pretty good selection of Wines, Bourbons & Scotches and they have good hours. However, they used to be far more competitive in their Bourbon pricing. I am finding that they are more expensive on most bottles, sometimes as much as $ 5-​$ 10 per bottle. That is just too much of a discrepancy for me. I guest I’m going to have to start purchasing my Bourbon elsewhere.

Always my go to store when I need something, or looking for something new. I always know if they don’t have it, it’s gonna be a pain to find but they will still help you find it.
They have a great selection on wines anything from affordable to expensive, and if you don’t know what to look for the staff is so helpful they will help you find it.
Also who can dislike a store that let’s you taste it before you buy it!

Not the cheapest place in town, but they have a great wine selection. And you can’t go wrong with Jeff’s Picks. We’re regulars.

the staff is very helpful and they have a great selection (especially Kosher). I have had nothing but positive experiences at this store. And their prices are very competitive

Worst place ever!!! Owner is so rude and unprofessional and bad selection of wines. Save your time go to another store (there are a lot of them on ave u)

Best & most reasonably priced selection of kosher wines I have found. Regrettably the store’s ownership is not Shomer Shabbos & also sells too many non-​kosher products including mescal with a dead worm in the bottle (!), but again, you won’t find better kosher wine deals anywhere in New York unless a merchant deliberately cuts their prices substantially just to get your business. Some of the male staff members are fairly knowledgeable in wine.

I came back for another Kosher selection. They have a large section marked «kosher for passover.» The staff was quite knowledgeable and helped me pick out one.
Beware the staff behind the counter. They are nice enough and ring you up really quick, but they really don’t know much beyond that.

Part of what makes a good liquor store is the staff, and this one has the best in the area. They’re very knowledgeable, and give great recommendations if you’re not quite sure what to choose. My mother has come home quite a few times with a new wine on their suggestion, and the whole family ended up loving it.
If you want it or need it regarding alcohol, these guys can find it for you. And if they don’t have it, they know who does.
And they still need to find a new «U» for their sign, because it’s been «LIQ ORS» for years now.
