Love this liquor store! Lots of alcohol to choose from and the staff was very friendly and nice! I had a cart full of beer and they helped me carry to my car. read more

I have visited Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits several times, and unfortunately my experiences with the manager, Cindy, have consistently been disappointing. While the cashiers are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, Cindy's demeanor comes across as unfriendly and dismissive. On my most recent visit, I inquired about a particular wine. Cindy appeared reluctant to assist and seemed inconvenienced by my request. Although she eventually located the item, her attitude made me feel as though I was bothering her simply by asking for assistance. Customer service is a major factor in where I choose to shop, and a welcoming atmosphere encourages customers to return. Unfortunately, Cindy's attitude has had the opposite effect. The cashiers create a positive experience, but the manager's consistently cold and unapproachable demeanor leaves a negative impression. I would honestly rather drive 10 miles out of my way to shop elsewhere than deal with the unpleasant and unwelcoming attitude I have experienced during my visits. read more

Bay Ridge Wine Catering worked with Annapolis Smokehouse and Tavern for a Midshipmen Commissioning party. Anthony provided excellent customer service, and he accommodated last-minute requests. Hosting a big party can be stressful, so make life easy on yourself and use Bay Ridge Wine and Spirits. Thank you! read more

Lots of service. Good prices on everyday stuff, and lots of selection on non-everyday stuff. Also close to my house, which is great since it is a great local business. read more

We like this store near our home, particularly for the variety of liquor and beer that they stock. I visited there today; it was my first trip post-pandemic. They have made some adjustments to comply with the new requirements. Twenty (20) customers at a time may enter. There is a table by the entrance with hand sanitizer. It is a large store, so this allows for comfortable distancing. I found my liquor choices easily, as their rows and sections are well marked. They also have cute serving, kitchen, bar novelty items. The beer is all across the back, and they have more choices there than most of our local stores. I purchase wine there too, but overall, I think other stores are more competitive with the wine prices. They have set up plexiglass partitions at the checkout to protect the cashiers. The y always ask if I need help carrying my purchases out to the car. read more

Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits - Several of our favorites. Great price on the Malibu. Ready for summer. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

A decent little liquor store that I checked out for some beer. It didn't has much as I thought it might but the choices of beer were some top quality ones. read more

Five stars. Best wine and spirits store in Annapolis and maybe Anne Arundel county. Great service, clean, open sales floor. High-end wine cellar section. HUGE beer selection including a Growler section that's off the charts. Also lots of local microbreweries too. Don't be mistaken by the inaccurate story in the capital a few months ago. It was taken out of context and corrected. We are fortunate to have this place in our area. read more

See all

Let me say, it's good to be seen. I didn't need anything really but when I saw the sign I had to go in and show support. The folks are always upbeat and have several long time employees. It's always good to see a local business do well. read more

Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits - Black History month recognition - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

The Service was very attentive in helping us select a wine. We weren't planning on eating, but the menu looks so enticing. We ended up ordering a flatbread and it was delicious. Nice tranquil atmosphere not too dark not too bright. Nice for a quick relaxing escape. read more

We used Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits to provide the liquor for my daughters wedding back in October. The staff is very knowledgeable, they guided us through our wine choices and what a success it was. I just recommended them to a friend whos daughter is getting married in May. I told her to call and work with Drew, he was fantastic. We do not live in the area but will try to stop in as often as we can. Thank you for helping making our day such a huge success. read more

DON'T go anywhere else in Annapolis! The "bang for your" buck stops HERE! Quality product, range for days -- there's NOTHING you can't find here! And the best GOSH-DAMN PEOPLE on the planet! read more

Will no longer honor military discount for spouses. There are other stores who gladly respect military families.

I have been continually impressed with the staff and service this business provides. They have gone the extra mile to provide safe quality service. I have trusted their beverage recommendations for years. Now I know I can trust them to be careful of the safety of customers and staff. Well done, as usual. read more

Wonderful selection of wines and spirits, and the management is attentive/knowledgeable. Only thing is they treat their employees like dog crap! read more

Drew is a Rock Star! We worked with Bay Ridge on the beverages for our daughter's wedding reception. At our initial meeting with Drew, he worked through numbers and types of beverages with us, listening to our requests and comments, and then working to find the right wines & beer to fit within our budget. On reception day, they showed up early, dropping off the beverages and ice, giving the servers plenty of time to set-up before the reception. We had left over wines and beers, and Bay Ridge took back all unopened boxes and packages, making it easier on our budget. We are regular Bay Ridge customers and we were so very happy with the service and selection. read more

This place cracks me up every time I go in here. They have the "Liquor Store" side and the cute "Gourmet Store" side. It seems like they are trying to appeal to the yuppy foodies AND the off the street drunks. I have ordered kegs from this place as well as picked up local wine. This is the place where I go to for local wine and beer. They have a HUGE selection of Boordy Wines and Wines from St. Michael Vineyards. The gourmet store has the most adorable gifts! They have very unique wine bags. They're not your typical vertical wine bags that look like wine bags, they have cute bags that look like cute purses. The gifts here appeal to girly foodies who love wine. They don't have too many manly gifts for the manly man.....I suggest you go over to the beer section on the liquor side for gifts for the manly man... They have great hours to facilitate any early morning parties and late night parties. Highly recommend for all of your boozing needs. read more

Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

This store is the worst, I tried to join their email club and they don't respond. I try to go there to explain my issues they don't care. I call them, and they lie about the product. The store was amazing a few years ago and now they are like Rip's, just awful. read more

Love the selection and location. It's right on the way home if you live in Annapolis Neck area. It's off Forest Ave. They have a club and if you are military they do a discount. The selection is wonderful and they are frequently tasting their wares. The staff is super friendly and the store is easy to navigate. Highly recommend this location! read more

It's my neighborhood wine, beer and spirits go to. Excellent selection, knowledgeable staff.

I appreciate this great liquor store near me here in Annapolis. It's the first local liquor store I've gone to in the area that doesn't have all the liquor behind the counter. Perhaps that says more about the places I've been going than Bay Ridge, but at any rate I will be back. I glanced over the bourbon and rye selection and I'm impressed. I'm also enjoying their wine of the month this month so everything is good. read more

Great customer service and excellent selection! I always find hidden gems here that I would have never tried on my own.

This is, by far, the best liquor store in Annapolis. Huge location filled with lots of variety and a very knowledgeable staff--if you ever need a wine recommendation, Rene is your guy! I found out, recently, that the store offers a rewards program that is free to join. Definitely something to look into if you enjoy getting discounts ;) read more

Wow...talk about a selection!! I'm yet to see such stock in any other liquor store in Annapolis. Anything you want, they have. Also, they even have a humidor if you feel like treating yourself read more

The beer selection is great, but the employees kind of suck. They also are very selective with the types of horizontal IDs accepted (i.e not all horizontal IDs will be accepted, even if government issued, such as Global entry). read more

Shocked at lack of service received and this was not typical at this store. Walked in with husband to buy wine, beer and liquor for a large party and received no assistance with selection, getting ice or even taking all the items to our cars. Prices also were higher than expected. Makes us think there is new ownership or management but certainly disappointed. Edgewater Liquors here we come. read more

I was happy to discover this place in a strip mall just a few blocks down the street from my home. Not that I'm a huge drinker, but I do like the occasional beer or glass of wine, and this is the first liquor store I went into in Annapolis that didn't give me the creeps and make me consider a carry permit. It's been an adjustment moving here from California, where even Toys R Us executives will probably find some loophole soon that will let them start stocking alcoholic beverages; practically every other store already does. Anyway, to the point, Bay Ridge Wine and Spirits is BIG, and well stocked with a huge selection of beer, wine, hard liquor, and everything you'd want to go along with it. Whether you want an expensive little bottle of champagne to toast the memory of old friends, or a gallon of cheap rotgut to help you forget that new restraining order, they've got you covered. There's even a nice little gift shop/wine tasting area in a room off to the side. The staff is friendly and helpful. The store is roomy, clean, and well-lit, and you can relax and roam the aisles in search of your favorite poison, without worrying about whether your car will still have its wheels when you get back to the parking lot with your purchases. They even offer a customer loyalty card that saves you a few bucks. If you find that it saves you a lot of bucks, you probably need to re-evaluate your life... read more

So, I just moved to the area and I was looking for a liquor store that had a great variety. After going to a few around Annapolis, I discovered that most had your staple Coors, Bud and big name breweries. I was looking for craft beers, mainly from some of the breweries I just left in Colorado (Oskar, Left Hand, New Belgium...). Well at Bay Ridge I found my Oskar Brewing Co, (specifically Mamma's Lil' YELLA Pils). Not only did they have this great craft beer but they also had a great collection of some of the country's great breweries. Aside from the beers, they have a HUGE selection of wine and liquor. Definitely my new go to store for my adult libations. read more

I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. The Wine and Liquor selection is good, however the Craft Beer selection is pretty run of the mill. They don't get any of the harder to find beers, not even local stuff, and when you ask about those types of beer, they could care less. Service could be better as well. Overall, if you're just looking for something standard, they're good. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste your time stopping here read more

The cashiers are always nice but today I had a bad experience because one of the workers came behind me and said "fat bitch can't close the door". I knew he was a worker because he later went into the fridge. I will no longer be shopping here read more

Reputable & well established wine & spirit store with a wide selection and very knowledgeable staff here at Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits. If you cant find it here, I'd be surprised... & should that be the case, they can order. They offer wine beer and spirit tasting Thursday - Friday 4-7... have a wine 'cooler' that will chill your bottle for you in a five min... sell gourmet cheese... and other host essentials as well as a small section of hand painted nautical/ bay inspired boards for charcuterie. They run great specials often, well rated in wine spectator. Check them out and ask for Rene! read more

Favorite Beer/Wine/Liquor store in Annapolis. Huge selection, you should be able to find anything and everything you need (they even have a selection of gourmet cheeses). Twice a year they have a three day sale when everything is just a dollar over cost. This year I purchased 24 bottles of wine, 2 boxes of wine, and 2 bottles of liquor for just $300. They really value their customers here and treat them well! read more

This is about Phil, his store and their amazing semi-annual dollar over invoice sale that just can't be beat anywhere. Class VI included. After driving 77 miles behind a full day's work and spending over an hour on the floor carefully selecting product to put in the cart (and eventually on the bar!), texting family and searching the net, the last thing I needed to hear at checkout was "We don't take out of state checks." What??? But it's Virginia! Uh, no, sir, this is Maryland. No, I know that! I mean my check - it's Virginia! It's not like the bank is in North Dakota somewhere! Sorry, sir; that's our policy. Didn't you see the sign? What sign?? And on it went. That was last year's scene. And actually I didn't remember it all that well, but I do remember the manager having pity on a completely disheartened military retiree with a full shopping cart in the middle of the night, a couple of minutes to closing. Thank you, kind sir. And bless you. Fast forward to this day, Wednesday. Same circumstances, long drive after work etc, etc. This time, I have significantly more product in the cart. (How much more, you ask? Well, let's just say I'm still hiding the receipt from the wife.) And all I remembered is that they took my check last year. I did remember it took a minute, so this time I had called ahead to ask - but I asked the wrong question! I asked if the check policy had changed from last year. (And the audience groans.) They said no; I said good. Obviously, I should have asked them to tell me what the check policy is. Classic illustration of asuming: made up of an ASS, a U and a ME...and in this case, just ME! Enter Phillip's kindheartedness. They got him on the phone b/c I told them I had talked to him earlier. But honestly, it wasn't about the check policy, it was about what they would stock for the sale. And actually, we had traded emails on that subject, and in that same sitting I called the store to ask about the check policy. And the person who picked up the phone wasn't Phil, but she said that the policy was the same, and..., and..., and... Phil could have shot it down right there. Story ain't matching; that's not what you said outside. Absolutely true, but this was one of those times when your memory of events becomes clearer as things get progressively worse and it comes too late to fix what's going wrong. Like I said, Phil could have just stopped it right there. But he didn't. He recalled our exchange - more accurately than I did by the way - and told Teddy, the floor manager who looked like he had no problem booting my ass right out of there, to just make sure that all the info on driver's license matched all the info on the check. That was cool beyond all reason to be cool. Phil, you are the man! And thank you. Not just for saving my bacon, but for running a first class operation, and showing us what it should look like. Thanks again, Phil - and I'll see you in February! read more

This place is pretty decent if you're in the Easport/Bay Ridge part of Annapolis. There is a large selection of pretty much everything, and a really cool little section for snacks and knicknacks. A bit expensive, and the employees aren't the nicest, but when we're near my better half's mom's place, we always swing by here. read more

We worked with Drew for our wedding liquor, beer, wine and champagne order. He was a pleasure to work with. He had excellent suggestions and recommendations and they have a flexible return policy. Highly recommend! read more

Great overall wine selection. Have found Caribbean rums unavailable elsewhere. You can usually find wine tastings most weekends and always lots of specials. Definitely a must visit if you're looking for an obscure liquor like chairmans reserve from St. Lucia. :) read more

What a great place! I came here during their annual customer appreciation day when they were selling everything at their wholesale price plus $3.00. There were some great bargains to be had. Better still were the staff. It was a busy place with a ton of people but the staff was still there to help me make some choices for wine and small batch bourbon. The store is in a great location, has plenty of parking and tons of selection for beer, wine an spirits. read more

I was looking for Soju for quite sometime and couod not find any stores in Annapolis carrying it and did not wanted to drive up to Baltimore for it. After doing some research i called Bay Ridge Wine and Spirits and the lady who answered the phone was courteous and she put me on hold to go check for it once I mentioned to her thst it's a Korean Vodka. She promptly returned and said "Yes". WooHoo! When I came to pick up the Soju, she also gave me a discount (Thanks!) and informed me of the Club that they have. I just sighed up for their membership for the Club they have. The store is nicely organized which kind of reminds me of a miniature LCBO (Canadian liquor chain) that I'm used to. read more

Convenient wine store to Annapolis. A huge selection of wine from all over the world including an entire back room of their finest wines. Very nice and helpful staff. Join their club and I believe you get a small discount. Case discounts and their yearly sale is the BEST!! read more

This is my first choice when buying alcohol. The staff is friendly, knowledge and helpful. They have a great selection of non-crappy beers. I got my mom a nice bottle of Melbac for Christmas and the lady behind the counter even gift wrapped it for me! They have a customer for life. read more

I have been looking for a place with a good beer selection in Annapolis and I have finally found one. There were easily over 150 different beers. Most were not chilled and were stored on shelves which I do not view as a negative, but some may. The selection itself is very diverse and there were beers from many different styles (Porters, Stouts, IPAs, Lagers, etc...) I am a fan of stouts myself and they had traditional stouts, imperial stouts, russian stouts, etc... If you are looking for a good beer, this place definitely should be on your list. read more
