Higher prices; unfriendly staff; located next to Stop & Shop…read more.. My husband and I have been in this store more than once, and every time we thought that it was probably a bad idea. It's not often I give just one star, but I can't force myself to give more, especially after this last purchase. The man and woman who work there are not friendly and sometimes even rude. Don't know if they are the owners or managers. The shop's prices are somewhat higher than other liquor stores in the area too. I know it's difficult for liquor stores to price competitively with the larger chains nearby, but a smile and good service would bring more people in to shop. On a recent visit, after food shopping in the supermarket next door, we wanted a bottle of wine to go with our dinner. It was a Greg Norman $14 bottle, usually about $10-12 in other stores. We didn't mind paying extra for the convenience of being right there. When we opened the bottle at home, the cork was dry and broke apart: not a good sign. We noticed the color of the wine was very dark, not usual for Chardonnay. Just one sip told us the wine went bad. Too rancid to drink, we covered the top and took it back with the receipt. The owners/managers would not refund our money or give any credit or another bottle. They pointed to a sign on the counter that said, "ALL SALES FINAL!" They said it was the NY State law. Well, of course, I wouldn't expect them to take a bottle of liquor back and resell it, but this was bad wine. Shouldn't it have been dumped out and the bottle given back to the supplier for credit. Shouldn't we have been given credit or a replacement bottle of wine? We paid good money for something we had to throw out. My husband and I could not believe the attitude of these people. It wasn't their fault apparently. Bad merchandise, is our problem? Really? What angered me even more was the woman said I should write to the wine company and they will send me "free wine"! Oh, so now I'll get free wine, like that was the reason I was there? No, I didn't want free wine, just credit for something I paid for and had to throw out. That attitude, too often seen in the general population, is that you do whatever you can in order to get something for free. Well, I don't do that! I will never walk into that store again!

I was leaving my friends house over in Sayville and as I was walking towards the LIRR, a really clean looking hightop van caught my eye in a parking lot across the street (#vanlife). As I crossed the street, I noticed J & J Spirt Shop and walked in out of curiosity. And again, just for curiosity's sake of course... I asked if they carried 1792 Whiskey. Ok to be honest, I actually asked if they carried "1702" Whiskey but they kindly and politely corrected me (I was exhausted so let's call it a brainfart) and quickly presented me with a bottle. I knew I was running low on the bottle I have at home (it lasted me quite a while folks!) and since the price was quite right, I decided to buy one. I was tempted to buy two because again, at 34.99, it felt like a deal. I've actually purchased the same exact 750ml bottle for $40 pre-tax at other stores. There is also a really cool looking cigar shop next door. Had I not been in hurry to catch my train and had one waiting for me at home, I would have certainly stopped in. When I got home, I popped the bottle in the freezer (this probably goes against whiskey code but I like my drinks cold but without ice) and enjoyed it with my cigar. Cigars and Whiskey... yup it's official... I've become my grandpa! Spark notes version: 5 stars for a really clean, local liquor store that has a large selection with good prices and is run by super nice folks
