When I came here during work hours, there seemed to be only one worker. This worker was helping someone else. I was able to find what I needed rather quickly so didn't require help, although the workers all seem very nice. This place is very organized. read more

Price is good with good selection. Good customer service. They even have some of the hard to find stuff that I been looking for. This will be my local go to liquor store. read more

Ordered thru drizly. 2.5 hours after order i was notified that they were at my door. I went outside to meet them. 10 minutes later, no delivery. I call asking where he is and am told, the driver had an accident. he's on his way. I asked about the at the door notice, the store said it was drizlys policy to notify u when they're in the neighborhood. 10 minutes later, no delivery. The driver got a flat, there's no parking. I tell them that I'm standing in my empty driveway and see 5 open spots. They tell me 10 minutes. We keep going thru this for 45 minutes. Finally a manager gets on the phone and says the driver will be there in one minute. Finally, almost 3 hours after the order was placed they show up. Never again. How do I get my tip money back? read more

This place is a gem for anyone looking for a wide variety of great priced bottles of wine. Whoever does the buying clearly knows their wine - many of the best value regions are well represented. Tons of $10-$17 bold red blends from Spain and Portugal, delicious Oregon Pinot for $15 ("Chime"), true Champagne for $25, and lots of Riesling (even an 18 year old dry German one that blew my mind for $20). Keep up the great work! read more

This place is trash. Every time I have ordered from here, every single time, the order gets canceled. Literally every single time. And there's no explanation as to why. You try to call and staff is completely unhelpful. Maybe it's better to go in, I don't know, but if you want to order, DON'T. read more

One of the workers panicked when i was outside taking a business photo for Yelp. Large place with lots of booze, and paranoid workers. read more

Bensonhurst Discount Liquor Center - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They haven't been in business for this long for nothing. I went there years ago, and if you can't find it there, then you may not find it elsewhere. Their selection is extensive, and the prices are very varied. This Holiday weekend, I ordered four bottles of assorted liquors from their website- not a problem. In fact, someone from the store was nice enough to call me earlier today to let me know that their delivery person had another delivery near me, and she could drop it off much earlier than the time I chose. It was very considerate and convenient, and it was a pleasure to deal with them all around. They'll be my primary liquor source from now on. read more

Order was confirmed, along with a timeframe to expect it, then hours passed and it just never showed up. No call or update. Strange way to do business.... not recommended. read more

They promise delivery in under 1 hour via Minibar, but they have repeatedly taken 2+ hours. This will be my last order.

Worst liquor delivery store ever. The sell their overpriced liquor on minibardelivery, they promise to deliver within an hour, they always take two hours. The drivers are nasty, the customer service is horrendous, the always are lying telling you the driver is a few minutes away. There are so many places that sell liquor for 30% less and are way more professional, establishments like this don't deserve to have customers read more

Bensonhurst Discount Liquor Center is by far my favorite liquor and wine store within a half mile of my home. At the risk of sounding like a wine snob, a lot of wine stores in Bensonhurst and Bath Beach limit their inventory of whites to the basic Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay varieties. Most other places are also limited in which regions they carry wines from, usually carrying an overabundance of California wines (I get it, it's trendy right now, but it shouldn't occupy literally half of the shelves at any wine store). At this store, I'm able to find varieties and regions I enjoy, that are sometimes difficult to find at other local wine stores. Don't get me wrong - I have no complaints about the standard bottle of French Chardonnay, but sometimes I'm in the mood for something different. For instance, I never expect a wine store to carry more than 3 different bottles of Gavi, but many don't even have one. At any given time, Bensonhurst Liquors has 2 or 3 Gavis on the shelf. Another example: they carry a small selection of South African whites, and many stores don't even have one. For a small store, Bensonhurst Liquors really does a great job at managing to carry a variety. There's plenty of Chilean, Argentine, French, New Zealand, and Italian wines. There are some Spanish and Portuguese varieties, as well. Oh, and to those fans of California wine: there's plenty of those, too, don't worry. The employees here are generally very nice and helpful. Whether they can answer complicated wine questions is a hit-and-miss. Some employees have an extremely thorough knowledge of wines, and the others have at least tried most of them and can offer an opinion. I don't expect a wine expert to work at a discount liquor store anyway, and I'm far from an expert myself, so I consider all of the employees to be good consultants on what to buy. Unless you're a wine connoisseur, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I can't complain about the prices here. I've seen certain things cheaper elsewhere, but ONLY at the bigger "liquor warehouses". You're absolutely getting a decent deal with most of the items in the store, if not all of them. If you want your wine delivered, Bensonhurst Liquors participates in the Drizly app. It's always a good idea to tip your delivery person in cash, though, even if you order your wine with a credit or debit card. I'm not sure if you can have the wine delivered by calling the store directly. The delivery people are nice and punctual. Sometimes, it takes a little long for the delivery to arrive, so it may be wiser to physically travel to the store on nights that tend to be busy, like Fridays and Saturdays. The only thing I would change about this store is the option to buy some wines cold. I don't believe they have any refrigerated wines (I could be wrong, please correct me if I am). It would also be great if they could carry more South African whites, but I know these varieties don't fly off the shelf, so I won't push the issue. read more

Nice discount store for all of your lushy needs. I have been here twice, and the first time they helped me pick out a good wine. I know nothing about wine and they were friendly enough to explain the differences in taste etc. I also picked up some of my favorites like Baily's and JW Blue. Hard to knock a liquor store...the only way I could see giving it less than 3 stars is if they had no liquor in the store. read more

Good liquor store with a large selection. The girl who works there uses the store as a hang out for her friends. The few times I've been in there she's been too busy looking at her phone or talking to her friends then actually paying attention to use in the store. read more

Be mindful if you order through Uber Eats. If they do not have something in stock, they will wait until your driver is picking up your order to notify you in the hopes you will think it is too late for anything to be done. If you do catch it and call, they will tell you they are unable to cancel the order. I spoke with Uber Eats who states that this business is able to cancel the order and saying otherwise is something more unethical business will do because if they cancel on their end, it costs them money. read more

Great prices and many selections. The guy at the register was very helpful because I don't know the area too well. I am going to have to re review this place if I come here a second time. The reason for just the 4 stars is because I only purchased one item in the vodka section. read more

Great prices, nice selection. The counter guys/girls can usually offer an opinion on product if you ask. Helps my cause that they're close-by and have solid hours. Seems like they have frequent promotions and events in-store as well. Also, this place is huuuuuge. read more

Bought a handle of titos from a 3rd party delivery service (minibar) who uses this store as the source for selling their liquor. Typically titos is super smooth and easy to drink. When we went to take shots of it, we realized it was absolutely disgusting! Not the real deal at all. We should've known when it was a few bucks cheaper than other stores. We made a complaint to mini bar; but thought I'd do everyone a favor and write a review here as well. read more

Not bad prices and open late night. Big selection. The guys at the store could have been a little more helpful but overall it was good to find a local place to grab a quick bottle for Sunday dinner. read more

I'm a longtime patron of this super reliable establishment. Over the last decade, they always have consistent prices, good selection as well as friendly and helpful staff. You can be pretty certain their prices are in line with other local places that do a consistent volume, which is a very good thing. I've also appreciated over the long run that they never try to push a certain brand of spirit that they bought on special on to me. They maintain their stock , and provide often a broad choice for whichever wine or spirit you may need. If I would have to mention any downside to this place is the 'comedic cast of character' customers that you may encounter... but that's not on them at all. Sometimes it can be pretty funny! read more

When I order, I do it through Minibar. I have had some issues with Minibar, but the employees here at Bensonhurst Liquors are very customer service oriented and resolve issues , if there are any, quickly. I think one of the employees names is John, that has been helpful to me and last night, Nicole was a Rock Star employee and patient when I had her go over the names/brands of some of the red wines they carry. Hello Business Owners, I hope they get a good raise for all their hard work! I can order from a place closer to me, but I support this business because of the courtesy and customer service at Bensonhurst Liquors. Dealing with the public is one of the hardest jobs to have! read more

Found here a specific wine that I couldn't find anywhere else in Brooklyn. Another reason why this location is so good!

Bad experience with delivery through Drizly. Lady at store said the delivery driver could come up & leave it at my door , delivery guy called and said he can't do that. So I came down. He wasn't there. I called the store and she said the driver said he waited 15 minutes and left. They cancelled the order & told me to call Drizel. Great customer service! read more

Pretty decent liquor store, they often have decent specials. I wouldn't come here if you want pick up lots of supplies for a party. But if you want to pick up a bottle or two it's a great place. They have a pretty decent selection of wines, both reds and whites. Store can get crowded at times, especially around the holidays. Perfect store if you have an idea what type of wines you like. Staff is friendly but may not have tons of time to answer your questions unless you go at an off time. read more

I felt like this place had so much empty space and little product. Maybe business isnt doing that great? The wine selection was very poor, and I understand that theres much cheaper stores in the neighborhood. read more

The comment below is funny but.. should not take away from the credibility of the store! I think i would be worried too if someone i didnt know was taking a picture of me!! But anyway, To start the staff there is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. I was offered help and given great suggestions on wines, liquors, and gift ideas. The wine selection in the store is very impressive. There are wines from a ton of regions to please all customers. The liquor selection is also large. The prices were great on both wine and liquor. Whether buying in quantity or just for a relaxing night, there is something there for all needs. I know for the holiday season they make gift baskets with great price ranges as well! I have been shopping here for years and will continue to do so. This store has a great location, great merchandise and staff! Check the store out and try to prove me wrong! Happy Holidays Yelpers!!

This is such a great place for discount liquors! All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place!
