Kappy’s Fine Wine & Spirits

If you like being falsely accused of petty theft after you pick up a 12 pack, this is your place.
I stopped into this location on a Saturday afternoon, and after my purchase, the manager (I say this because he was wearing a shirt and tie) ran into the parking lot and accused me of stealing a nip. Apparently ‘another customer had seen me place it in my pocket.’ Shoplifting — for an item that costs a dollar, no less — is a heck of a thing to accuse someone of, especially when you didn’t see it with your own two eyes. Our bald hero and protector of justice refused to believe that I hadn’t stolen the item until I emptied out my pockets to prove that there was nothing there. I’m honestly surprised he didn’t try to frisk and detain me. Really humiliating in front of a parking lot full of people.
Not really the level of customer service (or human decency) that I’ve come to expect as a frequent customer of Kappy’s. I hope that the phantom dollar that he thinks I stole was important, because I’ll never patronize this location — or any other Kappy’s location for that matter — again.

Went there at 5:01 on a Sunday with my son who gets the recycle money for our cans/​bottles. The guy was outside and barked, «we close at 5:00». Love that they take all our non-​alcoholic bottles/​cans, but the service is never good there.

Great customer service. The beer and spirits section has a lot of local small batch micro brands, as well as you more mainstream brands. I am not a huge wine connoisseur, but they have a large variety of domestic and international. Typically there is always 1 – 3 procurement people that have a good knowledge of what’s available and have suggestions for specific customer preferences.
Ordering kegs here has been cinch, good selection for ¹⁄₆ kegs of specialty beers from a few different distributors for beers from East and West Coast.
Weekends, they have wine tastings and liquor tastings.

The best liquor store in the North Shore, and there are plenty.
Great selection of everything — have never NOT found what I’m looking for. Best prices in the area. Quick checkout, even when the parking lot is full.
Because they are so big, they get a ton of the liquor promoters here, which is always nice on the weekends. I now know how to make black currant liquer margaritas, LOLZ.

OK selection but rude staff! I do not play
the lottery that much but was encouraged
to play by friends and family because of a
big jackpot. People ahead of me were
buying tickets so I asked for a ticket with
my purchase, the cashier said yes and
proceeded to put the ticket through
but then embarassed me making a
scene because you cannot pay with a
debit card which I did not know. I said
thanks and left. Today I went and was
asked debit or credit, I responded
debit and asked for the receipt the
cashier responded «Ya when I print
it» with an attitude! Go to Merchants
Liquors in Danvers it’s cheaper and
nicer!!!

Kappy’s is a local Liquor Store chain which has fair prices but probably the largest selection of Beer, wine, and spirits. You name it and they probably have it! Very busy during the winter Holiday season!

Kappy’s is more expensive than other stores. And when you buy beer, specially German Bier, check the expiration date. There is a lot of beer on the shelf that is expired.

They just changed their policy and now only allow $ 6 in bottle returns per person per day. Clearly they don’t give a &$@$ about recycling, so I’m telling everyone I know to boycott these jerks.

My go to place when I go liquor shopping. The other places are just when I’m in a pinch. This store carries everything, and has the best prices. Not only that but the managers are very helpful if you need to special order something.

Enormous. Glorious. Huge. This is one of «THE» Kappy’s. Unbeatable wine and beer selection. This place has hard liquors you’ve never even HEARD of before. Some in swanky collectors bottles behind glass displays lit up like a museum piece. Or take a look at their beers — you’ll find stuff you can’t find anywhere else. I’d tell you what I found, but I don’t want you buying it here! It’s mine, all mine! Bwa ha ha ha haaaaa!!! OK I digress. It’s tricky getting into the parking lot cause the street is insanely busy, but this place is worth it. Fun to browse, fun to buy!

The best liquor store around.
1. Friendly, knowledgeable employees.
2. Often have vendors handing out samples
3. Amazing selection, way beyond any other liquor store
4. Sale prices that put others to shame
I always go here for my Scotch and they have very fair prices.

I have only great things to say about Kappys. I am not a wine lover, and by no stretch am I anything remotely close to a connaiseur of the finer things. Regardless, the selection of all things booze at Kappys would be very tough to exceed. I was in recently looking for my standard 30 pack of Busch Light, and when I couldn’t find it a very funny staff member helped me out. His comment, «The world could end before we run out of Busch Light.» He was funny and not condescending which says a lot these days. I tell all my friends about Kappys in Peabody. If you are in the area, stop in and pick up a 6 pack or whatever. It is truly a fun shopping experience.

Whenever I come to Boston to visit family this is one of the first places I’ll visit to pick up provisions for our stay. Well, its not *the* first as I have to get the rental car, who are conveniently located across the street. Good selection, good prices — its like a liquor supermarket! (Mass. liquor laws are weird.)
I even found Green Flash IPA here, FTW.
However, it SMELLS BAD when you first walk in as that is where the bottle/​can redemption center is.

Kappy’s sets the standard for liquor stores in the area.
Pros:
— I’m not kidding about everything. They even have ginger wine, which I found exactly once before in a pub in England where it was a funny-​looking bottle in the corner.
— The prices are so reasonable.
— They have great deals for people throwing big parties. I’m getting married in a month and for the alcohol, we’re buying a huge amount of beer and wine from Kappy’s because they said whatever we don’t use, they’ll buy back. Pretty much the most perfect arrangement we could think of.
Cons:
— There aren’t more of them. I wish there was one in every town so I would never have to settle for a more mediocre place.
Kappy’s is head and shoulders above all the liquor stores I’ve been to in the area. Other places work great for a quick beer fix. But when you decide to treat yourself to something really special, go to Kappy’s.

They have a really great selection with good prices. I went to a Scotch tasting and it was a great time.

Great selection and the store is faced nicely. There was a table set up with samples of various beers. The parking lot’s easy to get in and out. The chic that checked us out was not very friendly– maybe she had PMS.

Kappy’s is what I imagine heaven looks like. Every kind of spirit you could possibly imagine, placed in neat, clean rows, for your perusal! They even have Elmer T. Lee! My favorite bourbon! Which you pretty much have to special-​order at any other liquor store in New England! And everything is CHEAP!
And I don’t mean «less than buying it at a bodega» cheap. I mean, so cheap you feel guilty buying any liquor at any other store ever after shopping at Kappy’s. Who cares about the parking? I’d walk three miles in a blizzard for such a selection at such a good price.
I drop fifty bucks every time I go here, but it’s fifty bucks that is so well spent, I nearly cry with joy when I swipe my debit card.

Kappys = big store full of booze. All kinds, sizes, flavors, deals! Wine discounts — 2 for $ 10. I usually judge a place on their Oyster Bay — $ 10. That is pretty good. I’ve seen it for $ 9, I’ve seen it for $ 14, so $ 10 is a good deal. Plus they always have specials on other varieties.
One of the best things they have (and they have a larger stock during the holiday season) is gift packaged liquor. So they had Gosslings Rum packaged with Ginger Beer and a mug and had it in a nice Dark and Stormy deal. Typically its the same price as just what the bottle would cost too.
You don’t find a lot of help here, but they certainly have the selection and good value. They also have a redemption center here as well.

I love you, Kappy’s Peabody. You’re prices are decent, your selection is huge, and your giant sign is always visible in the distance when I need a beacon of hope in the night. I’ve always been able to find anything I’ve needed in here without much trouble. Yeah, the parking lot can be a chaotic situation, but I haven’t seen a liquor store on the North Shore that compares to this one, so I’ll deal. I live far enough away from here that I wouldn’t use this as my «I’m just going to run out to pick up a bottle of wine» store, but it’s certainly worth coming here if you’re stocking up on things.
One minor complaint and that is, the entryway REEKS of old nasty beer. The bottle/​can return is just inside the door and you have to walk through to enter the store. It’d be nice if this were a separate entity. Do yourself a favor and hold your breath until you get in the store itself.

Went there this past weekend to pick up a 6 pack for a friend’s birthday party and was pleasantly reminded of how much of a selection this location has. Granted the parking lot is a pain especially when it’s busy, which it being 7PM it was mobbed on a Saturday night. But well worth it and convenient to almost anywhere on the North Shore.
We wound up with a 6 pack of Sea Dog Blueberry Ale after having to compromise — I wanted Blackberry Wheat from Long Trail, my husband wanted something similar but not blackberry so we stumbled upon this. The best part about their beer selection is you can get the same thing either warm or cold. Which is convenient for any occasion, and great prices too!
We also got a 1.5L bottle of Rex Goliath Wine for a great deal too! I love this Kappy’s and make it a point to go here on my way into the North Shore or around it for things like this!
