Great wine selection, great staff and competitive pricing . A neighborhood gem that is a welcome staple for the neighborhood'!

Always friendly and acommodating been going there for many years. Nice having a local business that was here before the popularity of Chelsea. read more

I come here if I'm willing to fork over a dollar or two extra on wine and if I'm being lazy when staying in Chelsea. Because it's the closer wine shop. Although, I will say the selection even though it's slightly pricier than the cheap wine shop, it's a better variety and the bottles never taste slightly expired like the cheap wine store. Natural wine, organic wine, orange wine, rose all day, wine that I didn't even know existed. They're always friendly. Usually have pretty good deals if you buy wine in bulk. Not that I ever do but that's out there. I'm a fan. read more

A small and extremely cramped space without any aisle room for walking or browsing freely, yet the selection of wine is very good including Japanese sake. Wine, wine, WINE is stocked nearly every inch of space and the entrance/exit foyer area is very little room. Re-stocking was a challenge for the lack of space and the sounds of glass bottles clicking together was mellifluous to "it's WINE time!!" I like this little wine shop for carrying good quality reds, whites for wine. After a long exhaustive and struggling week, undecided when browsing through, I inquired for assistance for a semi-sweet red within the $15.00 limit. Service is attentive, if not extremely knowledgeable. It was here where I attain a bottle of semi-sweet Californian Cabernet Sauvignon for $15.99. Behind the counter lies mini bottles for small selection of various whiskey and rum. Two separate registers bears two separate queues: one for cash and the other for credit card purchases. Chelsea Wine opens late especially on weekdays. read more

See all

Amazing selection and awesome customer service. Prices are better than a lot of other places. Owner is a cool lady that loves her regulars. Dog treats too read more

I went here to restock the house and they refused to sell me 900 dollars worth of alcohol, because half was going to my partners card and the other half cash. Also my partner was on the phone the Chinese man still refused but I should know better being black in a white neighborhood. They get shook every time they see a black person answer the front door. Let alone purchase that much alcohol. Anyway I found a better store but I'm sure they are related. read more

Open during covid 19 with reduced hours. Still good selection and friendly staff. Decent prices

Extensive selection, great service, knowledgeable staff, and my is always dragging me in here because they are nice to her and give her treats... read more

I wouldn't have thought Angostura Bitters were really that hard to come by. With bitters a required ingredient in manhattans you'd think it would be easier to find bitters in Manhattan. It is in fact quite difficult. I'd say this was irony, but I tend to avoid saying that since it is an expression misused so regularly, much like "I know what I'm talking about" or "I'm not an idiot". On my way back from getting my hair sculpted into a to-scale model of the HMS Victory, I thought I'd stick my fabulously adorned head into this place as I walked past, being my fifth attempt at locating an elusive bottle of The Bit's. My first challenge on entering the store was navigating through the cunning maze of bottles. There was very little space to get through to the counter: possibly to fit the biggest variety in as possible, but I like to think it was designed to eliminate any morbidly obese customers from making it to the point of purchase for their own health. The liquor shelves were gorgeous. No doubling up: only one bottle out front of every type, to allow even more variety. Of course they had bitters! Helpful, friendly, didn't look at me like an idiot for my request or asked what "bittahz" are, forcing me to put on an American accent. High fives for you gents, but just an easy one. Anyone falls over in here and you guys are in a world of trouble. read more

Really like the look and feel here. It's compact but the displays are very well done. It's easy to see the wide range of choices. They carry some fun and different brands and vintages. I'll be back read more

This wine shop is not in my neighborhood and I wish it were. The selection and above all, the customer service, was outstanding. I found an excellent argentine Malbec and the quick check out procedure was both efficient and polite; two qualities I look for in every store I shop and yet, don't always find. I will be sure to shop here whenever I'm in the area. read more

The perfect little store for the wino in all of us. Highly recommended with a nice selection of imported and domestic wines. read more

There is so much booze in this place. Selections of wines laid out on the floor. Behind the counter, like the candy shop in Willy Wonka, towering assortments of liquors of all kinds. Sure they had some of the lower classes favorites, but many more to choose for special occasions. A library of spirits. Can't say anything specifically wrong about my experience. For it's neighborhood, prices are expected, but quality is good and consistent. Service was sub-par and accounts for the four star rating. In a place like that it will take dazzling behavior from a clerk to grab my attention, so somewhat unfair of me to say. But that's being a critic for ya, suck it up ;) All in all, worth the walk through. I could do with less hay attacking me as I walk around, too... read more

This is a great place - extensive collection for both expensive and inexpensive wine. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating in helping you find what you need. They are also very willing to give their own recommendations and they definitely know their stuff about wine. They have amazing hours - opened until 11PM on most days. read more

TOO EXPENSIVE comparably .. closes earlier than other stores. Its too small and often lack drinks my friends and I are looking for. Also delivery strugglez all the time. read more

Greatttt service! Just called and my wine will be delivered within 20 mn in Chelsea. Alan was very helpful and nice! I asked him to send me a pic of bottle and he did, when other wine stores did not want to bother! Great, great attitude! Thanks!!!! read more

Small, with wine crammed into nearly every inch of the shop. They have pretty much anything you're looking for (with a layout conducive to actually finding what you're looking for), with shockingly cheap prices. Very polite and helpful service to top it all off. read more

This place has quite a collection - there must be thousands of different labels in there. Chances are, if you're looking for it, they have it. If you're a wine lover, this is the place for you! I actually went in there looking for a gift. I don't know much about wine, but the staff guided me perfectly. They even wrapped it up for free in a nice shiny bag. Icing on the cake. read more

A real neighborhood gem with a beautiful selection, especially of California wines. I would have given 4 or 4 1/2 stars but the prices here are gouging on a spectacular level. My favorite Napa blend that sells for $40 online is $59 here, and mass-produced California Cabernets are still over $40. There's a limit to how much I'm going to support my local merchants when they inflict unnecessary pain on their neighborhood clientele. This is really inexcusable and unfortunate, as I would really prefer to do business with my peers. read more

DO NOT buy wine from this store. I recently purchased nearly $700 worth of wine. I selected an assortment of wine to fill my new wine fridge, as I just moved into the area. When I opened the first bottle....corked. Thought it was a fluke. Second bottle...corked. Fluke? Nope...third and fourth....all corked. Most of the corks were severely dried out and all of them broke inside the bottle. They do not keep their wines properly or at proper temperature. When I went to inform them of the issue they refused to refund my money or give me store credit towards hard alcohol. They appear to have a great selection of wines but actually they are not stored well and you are rolling the dice buying from this store...cause chances are your buying a corked wine. I am currently disputing the charge with my credit card company since the owners refused to work with me. read more

Very disappointed. Bought two bottles of 1997 colturri wine. Both bottles were bad. Likely from improper storage. I had to argue with them to get a refund and they only offered store credit. read more
