So, distribution screwed up in the area and they were able to buy every batch of Stagg allocated to the area. What did they do? They decided to be nice and offer them to the public. All you have to do is purchase 10 of their stores picks that have been on the shelf for years. What a sweetheart deal. Oh yeah, he bragging about how he's ripping off the public, claiming capitalism. Way to justify ripping off the public. Definitely this store should be boycotted! read more

I give full stars because the owners and employees are so friendly!! They are very helpful and willing to communicate with me and other people by gesturing or writing on paper if we need something or need help. I love it!!! This liquor is only one that carries Korean liquors that what I know of so far!!! The place is very neat and very organized. I like the fact and easily to find specific drink I want to get. The parking lot is very plenty and easily to find a spot quick. I would recommend you to go there if you look for Korean liquors and this place is right place to go! read more

This is usually my go to place. The owners are delightful and helpful. It's kind of a small store but they carry a large variety of things. It's hard for me to find some items at other liquor stores, that they carry. For example, they carry rumchata and this brown lab wine that we really like. They also carry a variety of bully Hill wines, which is fine hard at the liquor store near my house. They have random tastings in the store and this week they had bully hill! I went in there to buy bully Hill and decided to taste some before I left lol Some of their prices are a bit pricey like on the Johnny Walker Black Label, so I opt to go somewhere else for that. Overall, it is my favorite liquor store and you should check it out too! read more

Canal Ponds Liquor - Boooooze! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Rochester, New York

Completely rude with lack of adherence to safety standards an employee yelled at me for not wearing my mask correctly all while breaking social distancing guidelines. My mask was secured per CDC guidelines but the employee continued to overreach. Prices are extremely high and the store hygiene is disgusting. Wouldn't recommend ever going to this store Once again, my mask was worn properly worn. Obviously the owner needs a proper course on how to wear a mask and how to maintain hygiene within his store. Furthermore, their lack of respect is repulsive. I pray no one experiences this kind of disrespect. read more

This is my go to liquor store. I know it's smaller than some of those big chains but they have a great selection. And Jeffrey always helps me out with my purchases. I usually buy wine or tequila and sometimes vodka at Canal Ponds - and Jeffrey is always very knowledgeable about what he stocks and why he stocks it. Their prices are fair and you always leave with a good value whether you're going entry level mid-level or top shelf. Ask for Jeffrey - he will set you straight! read more

Great family run store. Lots of selection!! Decent prices I went in for a Chardonnay and Jeff helped my find one. He said he had tried all of them and could help with recommendations. They were in price order. From cheapest to expensive There are wines from all over the world and the signs and organization made it easy shopping Lots of selection of liquor too There was a whole wall of vodka I found just the one I wanted. I liked they had several sizes Big selection of $1.00 shots. Well organized and right up front Lots of jug wines too. Clean and lots of merchandise I loved the friendly staff and easy check out. This was my first time here but I will surely be back read more

See all

My finace and I love this liquor store. It is nice and close to home so if we are having guests over we can pop over here quick, get some wine, and be on our way! The prices are fair for the market as well. The staff are always so nice and helpful. I always appreciate a liquor store that asks right away if you need help. Those stores are so full, it is easiest to just ask the experts where the good stuff is! read more

The man was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Extremely helpful, and kind. We were given more insight about Soju and the best ways to drink them. I will remember and cherish this encounter for the rest of my life. Thank you so much! read more

I walked in and no one said a thing. They were right there looking at me. I asked them for a wine recommendation and the employee pointed to the wrong bottle. I had to figure out what I needed to buy. I then asked then for another recommendation and they seemed totally disinterested in helping me.. I set everything down and went to Marketview where those people jump at the chance to help. read more

While this isn't a huge liquor store, they have a pretty good selection and price range. If you're looking for whiskey or bourbon, I would highly recommend making a stop here. Not only do they have about half an aisle dedicated to it, but Jeff the cashier is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. So if you're looking to try something new or for the perfect gift for a bourbon lover, he's the guy to talk to. I also enjoyed the fact that they seemed to have wines from smaller, local wineries that I had only ever seen the bottles available at the wineries themselves. For example, this was one of the first liquor stores that I'd been to that actually carried Leonard Oakes wines. The prices here are pretty on par with what you would find at other stores in the areas. They do also have a rewards card that you can signup for, and once you hit enough points you receive a $5 coupon towards a future purchase. They also offer complimentary gift wrapping (which if you're anything like me and are always last minute gift shopping, is an awesome bonus). One of the other big things that I liked about this store was their huge selection of mini's for $1. And they were actually organized on the shelf. Most shops I've been to with such a broad range of mini bottles just throw them in a bucket and it's up to you to dig. Not here though. The entire store itself is also really well kept & organized. read more

Canal Ponds Liquor - Pretty epic selection of minis, and they're all only $1. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Rochester, New York

Overpriced, very rude employees and no social distancing whatsoever yet screaming at you & following you if your face mask isn't up to your eyes (literally). Not worth your business. read more

I frequent almost business in this plaza, so while I was there tonight, I popped in this liquor store to grab a couple things. They were alittle higher priced than I normally pay, but I like to support small businesses. I got to the counter, they young man rang up my two bottles, gave me the price (approx 60.00)and I hand him my card. All of the sudden he asked my young daughter for ID. He says its illegal for them to sell me anything if she's not 21. So , I left and looked up the law. Completely untrue. If with a parent over 21...im well over 21... willstick with Liquor box and Five o'clock somewhere, the two best in Greece. read more

Canal Ponds Liquor - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Rochester, New York

Excellent wine and liquor establishment. I have been a fan for a number of years since this store opened. The owner/operator (Carl) is such a nice guy. You can usually catch him onsite helping customers, and if not, the staff is very pleasant as well. The variety of product is excellent, prices are very reasonable and yet competitive versus the other area "discount" liquor stores. It is clean and organized, and in a great location. Better yet, they also opened a specialty grocery and custom-brewed beer store in the adjacent retail store-front. You can get everything you need in one stop. Great job Carl. read more

Canal Ponds Liquor - the front of the store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Rochester, New York

The place is small but has a very nice selection! I was grabbing champaign for New Year's Eve but decided to browse the store and found two things I'd been looking for for quite some time. One was Piedra Azul Reposado, a Double Gold Medal winning tequila at the San Francisco World Spirits competition. The other was Ron de Barillito 3 Star, which is a much better Puerto Rican rum than Bacardi and Captain Morgan (I also like Don Q Cristal). The service was good and they knew their stuff. read more

Great service and friendly, knowledgeable store clerks. Excellent wine choices though I usually stick with the Barefoot Moscato. Sample any vodka, liqour for like .88-$1.00. Good location. Closes at 9pm. read more
