I ordered a 16 pack of high noons and got charged $100.00, typically high noons are $30 for a pack. Not sure what kind of math they got going on there but this should be illegal. read more

Great store, fantastic service. They were having a wine tasting when I stopped in and that was lovely too. The store is neat and clean- one of my favorites in NYC. read more

86th Corner Wine & Liquor - 90 plus cellars - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

This place is small and of course one can have only so much inventory in the given space. But we have a number of go-to favorite wines there, everything is well priced, and the customer service is awesome! The owners are always helpful and friendly to us and, in our observation, to all other customers, as well. (This includes courteous treatment of unhomed, probably alcoholic individuals who enter the store.) There's a gentleman who always seems to work in the store when it's open, who can give great recommendations for wine and spirits. (Need a fancy, long-aged Scotch whisky to gift? Done! Need a moderately priced bottle of brandy to mix into sangria for boozy brunch? Done.) We rely on his recommendations and so do several of our friends who live in the area -- to the point that all of us now have the same sangria recipe. :) I know they deliver, but given that I need all the poor excuses I can make to exercise these days, I'm happy to include a run to the liquor store as one of them. read more

Knowingly and unapologetically have incorrect price stickers on bottles and refuse to honor said price. Dismissive attitudes when this is pointed out, it's obvious they do not care about customer service. There are plenty of better options in the neighborhood, don't waste your time here. read more

As an update after living here longer: great place. The owners and staff are always extremely friendly and helpful. They have tastings often. One of the better liquor stores I've lived near in NYC. Prices are very reasonable for the area and the selection is good. Great selection of a wines from a variety of regions in affordable price ranges. They have everything from cheap, to mid-range, moderate, and high end wines. One of the only places around I've found carrying Barbancourt rum which is my favorite as well. Highly recommended. read more

Let's say you're headed to an engagement party which will turn out to be the classiest event of your young life. As a gentleman, you want to bring something...and what's classier than a nice bottle of whiskey? I'm going to tell you what: a vodka bottle IN THE SHAPE OF A TOMMY GUN. Once we saw this marvel of booze bottle engineering, there was no way we weren't getting it. After all, nothing says, "I'm so happy to share this special moment with you, as you embark on a lifetime of love and happiness" like shots out of the barrel of a gun. We brought that thing up to the register, and the lady goes, "FINALLY, someone's buying that thing." And there was even a free prosecco tasting by the door as we left. Yeah. I'm a fan. read more

Nice store with a good wine selection but limited options for hard liquor. They had a rep. in the front doing wine tastings and she was very nice, I ended up buying one of her recommendations. There was also a guy who was super helpful in finding us a new cabernet sauvignon to try. One of the female cashiers at the front (looked to me like the owner) could be nicer, she actually looked annoyed and as if she wanted us to leave asap, hence the one less star. read more

I just really love the guy who works the counter at this place. He's incredibly nice. He always has a smile and friendly comment for you. It's also amazing to me that he has remembered me every time I've been in there since I first moved to the neighborhood. Maybe that means I'm shopping at his liquor store too often. They also happen to pack a pretty decent wine collection into a fairly small store, which is a bonus. read more

"Good things come in small packages", they say, and the same goes for this small wine & liquor store on the corner of 86th and Columbus. They have a very decent collection of wines and liquors, and the staff is very friendly as well. These guys get it: They understand that customers want A, B, and C to pick from and prompt service. I can literally walk in and out of here in one minute time (since I know what I want anyway... I'm predictable with SOME things!) and that just shows how efficiently this place is run. Half the time that I walk in here, there is some kind of tasting of some kind of liquor or wine going on. Prices are absolutely reasonable. I want to keep this place around so I'll keep buying here as long as my liver allows me to. ; ) PS: I have no clue who Ann B is, who wrote that one nasty review, stating that people at this store were extremely rude when she called. I have been to this place very regularly, and I have never overheard anything rude towards any clients. read more

Been going here for 3 years. Their prices beat anyone in the area. They have an amazing selection. But best of all, the service is excellent! read more

Local spot, come in here frequently enough. The staff has always been polite, good selection and prices if you compare some of the wines using vivino app, very often on par or even better price wise. Looks like many of the lower star ratings were from years ago... read more

Love this place. My go-to wine store! The staff is always welcoming and extremely nice. They have the best selection and the best prices in town. Plus free delivery if you are too lazy to walk to the wine store! read more

I strongly encourage people to boycott this store. "Shon" if that indeed is his name is extremely rude and told me they don't need the money. Whatever!!! Go to Mitchells. They are always polite and go above and beyond. These people are RUDE!!!!! read more

I bought 3 bottles of wine and they charged me for 4 bottles! I don't usually look at the receipt after I signed for my visa card but it seemed very high, so I checked. Wow. Trying to pull a fast one. I may look like a tourist but that was so blatant, dishonest and criminal. Don't go here or be sure to check your purchases. read more

Solid! The prices are unbeatable, and the selection ranges from decent to great. I always find what I'm looking for here.

I am from Moraga / near Oakland, California and I usually get my wine from Napa or Sonoma. The staff at 86th Corner Wine and Liquor was very helpful and they recommended a Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County--it was exactly how the gentleman described the wine ---round and medium-body. The wine complimented the dinner we had a Frankie's Sputino in Brooklyn. Good value wine for $20 and the staff knew what he was talking about! read more

IGreat place and great service! I order there very often and staff is very responsive and helpful .

This has been a favorite of mine since first arriving in NYC. The manager(?) is always friendly and seems to run a tight ship since they are NEVER out of anything. They offer a great selection and their prices are also very reasonable. There is also never a long wait in line. read more

Ordered from them for years and just ordered cold champagne..... tipped a lot extra for cold and it is hot!!!! Never again!!! What a waste of time. Guess I will find a new store. How can the little guys expect us to try and help keep them in business when they screw us!!! Rip customer service. Sad world!!! read more

Best liquor store near 86th and Columbus. The prices are good, the selection is sweet, and the staff are awesome. These guys are the best. Deliver is fast. What more do you need? read more

Has to be the most incompetent people working there. Ordered alcohol for a party and they never delivered it. DO NOT BUY LIQUOR HERE. read more

I'm surprised by the positive reviews because the people at this establishment were extremely rude to me when I called their store.

Shawn is great ! Always helpful and quick with a smile. Great neighborhood wine shop. Good selection too and price is fair.

There are at least three other liquor stores in walking distance from us but we never go anywhere else. The staff are friendly and helpful. The selection is good and the prices are the most reasonable around. We go in person and also have them deliver. We have never had an issue. 86th Corner is the liquor store on our list of neighborhood recommendations to anyone we meet who is new to the block. read more

Excellent place for minors to buy all their beverage needs. Convenient, friendly. No worries about ID checks. The go to liquor store for Upper East and West side teens. read more

Best wine and liquor store in the area. You can't beat the prices here and they have pretty good selection as well. They deliver for free and it's super fast. read more

The people who work here make shopping at this establishment a pleasure. The manager is very helpful and so nice, and the delivery guys are quite friendly - one of them plays with my dogs every time he comes by - needless to say he is their favorite delivery guy in the hood! The manager makes good suggestions on new wines to try and also takes recommendations on carrying new products. Other larger places may have a bit more variety, but if you're in need of service with a smile, shop here. read more

After giving this establishment much business over ten years (only out of convenience bc their selection is sub-par), I will never go there or purchase from them again. I was treated rudely and smugly over the phone by Sean who knows me and knows his delivery person made an error. The delivery person doesn't speak English so while he tried very hard to correct a mistake his employer did nothing to help him but berate me on the phone. This store owes me money but since he refused to admit that he made a mistake, he will lose much more money than he took from me today, and I will tell every neighbor I have never to shop there. Stealing from a customer is never OK no matter if it is five dollars or several hundred dollars. I am absolutely disgusted with what transpired today. And to add insult to injury, he blamed the delivery man as he stood at my door and said our monetary differences were ours to work out! There are five other wine stores within a five block radius plus on-line shopping...,who is 86th Corner Wine kidding? read more
