This has been my go to spot for years. It all started out of…read moresheer convenience of location, but as time went on and craft became a staple in my life, swifway kept up with the pace and they've been brimming with good finds. They aren't here to rip you off, I've found some great beers at decent prices. Pick your battles, some things are expensive, but hell if they aren't worth it. They always serve with a smile, they are willing to break apart 6packs so you can have a couple, and they've got taps behind the register for sampling and growler fills. I'm truly lucky to ha e them so close to home, I tell everyone the same thing I'm telling you fine, respectable yelpaholics: go check them out. Tell em I sent ya... I dnno why... ignore me, I'm drunk.

In a previous review of Beverage Barn in Mineola, I mentioned how that place is my home away from…read morehome. Well, if that's the case (and it is) then Swiftway is my summer house because this place does not disappoint when it comes to quality beer choices and styles. Monday night I swung by here with my girlfriend as I've been entirely bitten by the pumpkin beer bug. After sweeping Beverage Barn of the styles they were sellin', I wanted to take a look elsewhere. I think this was only my second time here, but this trip solidified my desire to return again and again. We strolled in and as we entered, each side had stacks of beers displayed, and better yet, the whole right side was a plethora of pumpkin choices. And even better than that? They were mostly different options from what BB had on its shelves. And even better than that? (okay I'll stop) They have a similar set up as BB in that you can pull single beers from any open pack and create your own six pack. I ended up with a couple more than that just because I have a hard time limiting myself to only six. Beyond the front displays, there was a large freezer of cold beer choices and then an aisle with tons of styles as well as half of that aisle dedicated to limited release bottles and beers that might be a little off the beaten path. You'll also notice a section for ciders (which intrigued my girlfriend so she decided to create her own little cider six-pack). Around the corner you'll find your macro section as well as some overseas options. This was where I spotted a six-pack of Krombacher Dark (a recent discovery at a nearby German spot that I was hunting for) and immediately grabbed that for purchase. At the counter, we were greeted by the friendly staff member (possibly owner?) who knew his stuff about beers as he commented on a few of them. Added bonus: if you happen to have a New York Craft Beer Club card (it's totally worth the membership) you'll get 10% off your brews. There's also a growler station with a nice handful of beers on tap for purchase. Overall, I left here happier than a kid in a candy store (because, hey, it's kind of like an adult candy store, right? Right). Once I plow through my current bunch of beers I know I'll be returning here (you know, my summer house) to find plenty more of the good stuff.

An awesome liquor store that is actually OPEN LATE during the week and the weekends. I don't know…read moreof any other store being open so late on Long Island. Very convenient if you work late or just need something quick and late on the weekends. The store is very neat and clean! I hate going to a liquor store that has dust all over their shelves and bottles, especially hate boxes everywhere too but not this place! Owner is very nice and friendly. Prices are reasonable, most other places up charge by a few dollars. Also very nice selection of wines, vodka, etc. And good selection of small bottles behind the counter. (other places don't always have what you want or don't stock enough) Check this place out for sure!!!

Was told no delivery today which is fine, asked about tomorrow. Was put on hold and then told I am now outside the delivery area and would have call back, pay extra, and schedule for next Saturday. I explained I've been a customer for many years and I live in Bellport which is not far. The girl on the phone came back at me stating I am 20 minutes away and could call back during the week to discuss it with 'Jim.' Why in the world would a business talk to a long term customer this way?! Was I supposed to call back and beg 'Jim' to let me buy wine from him. I guess they don't need customers. Called Sunwave and had my delivery within an hour and with a better price!

I brought it back the next day and they would not exchange it without a receipt. This was the first time I did not have a receipt but I did show it on my credit card ap. This was not sufficient.

That is not good enough. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK.

There's a large selection of many different booze to chose from. Definitely something for everyone for their drink of choice. There was also two different samplings happening. One was an Irish whiskey and the other was Tito's. The employee behind the counter who checked us out was friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend coming here for your alcohol needs when in Patchogue. Cheers!
