I’ve been buying wine and bourbon here for 4 years now. The seasonal 30% off specials are very competitively priced. The quality of the offerings has steadily increased over time. I used to buy a lot of wine mail-order but these guys are so good now that I really don’t have to. I’m really glad these guys are in the neighborhood. Keep up the good work!

Very nice wine & liquor shop right on the corner before the East River Plaza shopping center. Dropped in here a few times while on the way to Costco close by. Very clean and organized shop. Was lucky enough to catch a few free tastings they were offering. Decent selection of wines and liquors, with a friendly knowledgeable staff. Prices seem ok but I have seen similar at lower price points in stores closer to where I live. Definitely a nice addition to this neighborhood that can use more businesses such as this in the area. A breath of fresh air compared to the sketchy liquor stores and bodegas that dot the streets up here.

Great warm store with knowledgeable staff to help you choose the perfect bottle for any occasion. They have a great assortment of fine wines and liquors and also deliver for large orders to the nearby neighborhood. Will definitely be one of my regular stops!

Clean, spacious, and doesn’t feel like they fear for their lives, which makes for a better environment than the bulletproof glass-enclosed owners on 1st Avenue nearby. The helpful staff guided us to Campari and we were in and out in a flash.

Wow, what a welcome change of pace to the average liquor store that has half of their logo already falling apart! This has to be one of the most well lit and refreshingly clean liquor stores that I have been to in Harlem. When you walk in, the staff always greets you warmly. You can shop at your leisure and don’t have to push through crowds of questionable old guys hanging around outside. It’s nice to have a classy place to buy a bottle of wine or handle of vodka when the occasion calls for it. The only drawback for this store is that their hours are not ideal, I rarely see them open past 10PM. Then again that might be a plus, because it regulates the customers to being more of a responsible crowd than a «let’s get wasted at 2AM» crowd. Also, unless I missed it, they don’t sell beer here.

There are two liquor stores in this three block range of east harlem. One on first ave which has the bullet proof glass preventing you from getting into the store. It is hard to see what they have, and the service is surly. The other is East River Wines and Spirits. It is open in the layout, so you can walk around and browse what they have. They always surprise me with new wines and liquors. The staff is extremely friendly and will help you with anything, and are always knowledgable about the products. They even have free tastings every week to try new shipments. It is fantastic and highly recommended.

I’m not much of an alcohol drinker, but I have created my own root beer-Bailey’s float. Since this place is super close to me, I decided to go in and check it out. Turns out, they don’t have Bailey’s, but the worker was kind enough to show me Molly’s, which is made by the same people and tastes pretty much the same? I’ve bought a few bottles of that since and love it! I also had an end of the school year big celebration and a lot of people dropped by this place before coming. They all came in with different recommended drinks, having sampled the alcohol too and all of them praised the store!

A little escape from the hood… East River Wines and Spirits has a fab selection of all wines and spirits. They often have free wine tastings and the staff are all super friendly. I absolutely love this place for everything that they offer, but mostly… THEYDELIVERFOFREE!!!

First of all I dont shop in stores that have their selections and their staff behind a protective forcefield so East River Plaza is a good look for not being set up that way. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and one of the guys who works there looks a lot like Chris Brown… how you doin’ witcho cute self? Secondly, the store is so spacious that you can park your previous purchases, kids and stroller in the corner, grab your bottle(s) and not worry about bumping into anyone or anything. Lastly and most cool of all, you get 10% off of your total if you show a same day receipt from any of the stores in the East River Plaza. After shopping in the East River Plaza, you NEED alcohol so this works for me. …even if they dont sell my beloved Cascinetta Vietti Moscato D’asti.

Having lived in East Harlem for close to ten years now I am thrilled that there is finally a not just a decent but GREAT liquor and wine store in the neighborhood. Tastings? Wine-familiar staff who seem genuinely pleased to help? A huge variety of wines that aren’t just Sweet Bitch quality and lower(seriously, who drinks Sweet Bitch? Who ARE you?), single malts??, sake???, no bullet proof glass???, NOLOTTO… Finally. And thank goodness. I’ll let the last reviewer buy her Moscato at Costco — for my part I’ll be supporting this local business that is desperately needed in the neighborhood.

Came here after seeing a sign for free moscato tastings-I absolutey LOVE moscatos so I came right on over! Sampled two, both 750mL bottles selling for around $ 12 – 15. ‘Eh, no thanks. Also saw a $ 12 sutter home moscato I normally get at the CA Trader Joe’s for $ 3. Another flaw is that it’s right by Costco-and for now, Costco just happens to be selling 1.5L bottles of Moscato for $ 8! SOLD. Sorry local wine store… perhaps you’d do better when located elsewhere.
