I love the new location of City Sliquors! They moved right next door and the new space is so clean and bright. They have a massive selection of wine, liquor, and even pre-made cocktails. It's my new go-to spot. read more

Was tracking down a specific bottle of wine for my Mom for Christmas and the owner was able to order it for me! I then put in my order online to take advantage of the $10 off first order offer and was unable to pick it up until a couple days later, but it was waiting for me! Will order from here again. read more

Best prices and selection in the neighborhood. Be sure to ask the staff for suggestions, as they are knowledgeable and can save you money or from buying a stinker. Also they often have SALE selections, which have all been fantastic so far! read more

Besides having a fantastic name, I found the selection here to be terrific, and the workers super friendly and very helpful. I have found my new liquor store. read more

They have some orgainc wines. Ask for recommendations. Great price and i just moved into the neighbor hood. I'll definitely will be back

Small- close to home and good prices. Bonus for late hours. This is a lot closer than walking towards the train station. Will def come back. Good selection Pinot Grigio read more

I was hooked the very first time I went to City Sliquors. The mood is a delight. Everything we had here was fabulous. They are very clean and the staff were really welcoming. Get there! read more

Large selection of great tasting Highly rated wines at the best prices I've seen anywhere in Astoria. Largest and best selection of single malt Scotches also. They're not over priced either. Friendly staff, and all willing to help with any question I had. So happy liquor stores are considered essential businesses during this time. They've been the reason why I've been able to withstand staying at home these past weeks. Definitely recommend. Anything you're looking for they don't have they can order specially for you. read more

This place always has demos for new products and has a great selection. Prices are reasonable too and the location is great. What I love most is the name though I think it's such a classic pun. The only reason it doesn't get the full 5 is the air conditioning either doesn't work or it's too low and it's often too hot in there for a lot of the wines to preserve their full potentials. It's the only thing I learned in my 1 credit wine tasting class in college! read more

I have been meaning to stop by this place for at least the last year and last night I finally did. Not only am I a sucker for cute pun names, I couldn't get over just about every YELP! review raving about the great service. The Team at City Sliquors didn't disappoint on my visit. The hubby was in the mood for some sangria and texted me to pick up some Carlo Rossi on my way home. We are talking the cheapest of the cheap stuff here. I didn't anticipate more than a directional finger when I asked where the Carlo Rossi jugs were but the guy behind the counter walked out from behind and stuck with me while I waited for hubby to confirm through text which one he wanted. He suggested that if making sangria, not to go with sangria but to go with paesano or ::I think:: zinfandel instead since the sangria is so sweet to begin with. Having had them all I completely agree with him but I sure appreciated that he was so willing to assist when I was in all likelihood picking up one of the lowest priced items in the store. City Sliquors has won me as a customer moving forward. Day 5 - "June Challenge: A-B-C!" read more

This liquor store is down the street from my friend's place and became the last stop every evening. Yes, we thought we bought enough wine the first evening, but quickly realized we were dead wrong! The wine choices are plentiful and priced well. My only itty-bitty issue? The staff pays no attention. I had a few questions, but had to ask several times, before getting a response, which was not that specific. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem picking my own wine, but would welcome a helpful hint every now and again! read more

Nice family run joint. The store is well lit and well equipped. The prices are reasonable and they have a loyalty card system where 10 points gets you 10 bucks off a purchase. read more

1) Amazing name 2) Walked in and was offered free samples of 2 wines--yes please! 3) Was also offered a free shot of grape vodka--obviously I took them up on that 4) Walked out with a jug of Carlo Rossi to make sangria 5) Pure class read more

I love this liquor store for many reasons. From the outside it does seem a bit like a grocery or bodega, which you might easily just pass by and ignore. However, inside is where all the magic is -- it's well-organized, clean, and modern-looking. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. For example, they held a bottle of liquor for me until I arrived and seemed really cheerful and happy to help me. This place has a great selection of whiskeys, which you can't always find everywhere. Also, I would say the prices are pretty competitive. I came all the way out here from jersey City and I'm ready to do it again! read more

Love my local liquor store! The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner Scott is awesome. When we were planning our wedding, we needed about 60 airplane-sized bottles of Jack Daniels for our gift bags. Not only did Scott order them for us, but he gave us a better price than we found anywhere else. He also called us to keep us updated on the delivery status since we had cut it a little close with our deadline. This place has a great selection of wine and whiskey... and definitely try the moonshine they just got in! If you don't see what you need, just ask to see if they can get it. read more

If there's one thing I like is a liquor store that will buy 100 proof Southern Comfort by the case for me to purchase. I asked every bar and liquor store about it for over a year and was told that 100 proof SoCo was a myth but I knew that it wasn't. I had seen it at a supermarket in LA! When this place opened I immediately asked the owner if he carried it and he said he didn't but said he could order a case of it and he'd start carrying it in a few weeks....what? really? Okay. Two weeks I was able to prove everyone one. It was not just a myth. Deliciousness did come in 100 proof! Overall the place is in a great location and the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Nice staff. They know my usual! I don't know if that's a good thing or not! heh. But, nice selection and nice folks make for a nice liquor store. They're open late too which is always a plus. GO! read more

This is the best liquor store in Astoria. The place is extremely clean, has a ton of inventory, and the people are soooo friendly there. I had a few questions about different types of wines and whiskeys and the guy was able to answer all my questions. He was a really nice guy. Plus the name of the place is great! read more

This place consists of friendly employees with great alcohol! The prices are decent and it's the only NICE looking alcohol store in this neighborhood. There is another one on Astoria Blvd, Dominique's but it is not like this place. If you need something to your taste, these people will help you. They are knowledgeable of what they are selling and they have a variety of excellent products. If you are looking for an alcohol set as a gift, they have those here too! Definitely check this place out for your wine to dine with or that bottle of vodka you are taking to a party. read more

If you're here you will find what you are looking for that's a guarantee however the area is not great I always do that shopping early and enjoy the sweet nectar this place sells read more

City Sliquors - Where everybody knows your name lol - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Queens, New York

So classy inside, I never would have guessed from the outside appearance. I'm glad I went in. Great selection and friendly staff. Also love their name. :-) read more

What a great place! The owner and the staff have a passion for recommending a wine you may like with a meal. I think you can go in there and tell them you're having a bowl of dirt and they would know what wine you should drink with it. I challenge you to go in there and tell them what you're eating for dinner and see if it works out. They have been right on every time. Maybe I'm easy to please. Who knows. Go check it out read more

This shop is right around the corner from me so the convenience aspect can't be beat. They have a pretty solid selection of liquors. Bottles of booze can be pricey but it's pretty average for the city. Their wine selection is very good. I always can find an interesting bottle I've not tried before, which gets me excited. Overall, don't go here to save pennies, but the selection of fire water is solid and the employees are very friendly/helpful! Also they have greeeaaaat hours for when your "chill night in" turns into something a little different ;) read more

This is my go-to spot. Good prices, friendly employees, and clean store! Lucky for me it's right around the corner.

It's not the greatest selection in the world, but it's open late on holidays and when you need to run around the corner for an extra bottle. The staff is really nice and knowledgeable about what's still in stock and when the next shipment will arrive if you're looking for something specific. Well-organized and clean so it's really easy to browse the selection for something new you want to try. read more

Love, Love, Love this store. The entire staff is great. I like the spanish women the best. She is super nice and always has good suggestions. They started off with slim pickings of liquors but greatly improved. Now they have a good selection, good prices and free wine and liquor tastings. This is the only liquor store I go to. read more

Mark is the man. Free wine and liquor tastings on Friday nights. Cheap prices and a great atmosphere. Some of the friendliest people around and my favorite liquor store. read more

Love this place. They have a great selection at reasonable prices and really know about wine. They have wine tastings on weekend nights.

Great selection of wine and liquor paired with friendly, knowledgeable staff thats always good for a laugh while youre paying. Very pleased that they offered white wine already chilled! read more

What a DISGRACEFUL owner, we had a party and I stopped by the store to get few bottles of whiskey, my crowd likes Jack Daniels, we always do JD Nr 7 but I wanted to something better and different so picked another JD on the shelve for 59.99 and there was three bottles on the shelve, I asked him for discount to buy all three, he asked me for cash and pointed a fried chicken place across the street, I went and got cash and came right back......... but somehow wondering of my interest to buy all three bottles he got suspicious of my "crime" and while checking on the phone said that .... wow all the stores run out of this bottles and few online sell them for over $200 dollars, and he went over claiming that he knew why I was buying them, he said I was going to resell them for profit, so he said he is keeping them and refused to sell. Somehow I didn't know that Chinese had discovered the mind reading machine.... I was surprised that in 2019 USA the merchant can deprive a costumer to pay for a product on the shelve with the price tag sticker on the shelve with the name and description of the product (which I took the picture by the way) because he didn't know that other places selling that product for much more profit. Shame Shame Shame. read more

My absolute favorite place to pick up a wonderful bottle of wine! Every time I go in and ask for a suggestion I am never disappointed. Wonderful service and friendly neighborhood vibe! read more

Nice conveint place well stocked on anything you might want every Tuesday they have a wine tasting

I used to live right across from this place and I feel that I owe them a 5 star review. SUPER helpful staff. We always came with a lot of wine-related questions and they had answers. Well stocked, prices are decent. read more

Great prices, don't let the size of the store fool you b/c they have a great selection (they have my favourite wines at least) and above all the friendliest people work there. read more

GREAT STORE!!!!! Love the staff they are very friendly and always with a smile. I could go anywhere but here is like home , I moved here from California and i was feeling alone and home sick but Lola and mark cheer me up always . Love my green jack thanks Mark read more

I will preface this by saying that we live in the neighborhood and had been loyal customers of City Sliquors for many years. Note the word "had" is in the past tense. The one time, out of many purchases, we bought a bottle of wine that we thought was sour and tried to exchange it and the second bottle we had purchased, we were refused. After arguing, they finally exchanged one of the bottles. Bottom line, the customer service is terrible. If that's the way they treat a loyal customer, than they don't deserve our business. Never again! read more

These guys are great. Really small shop, but good quality liquors and price is average. They're very dog friendly and also have a rewards program! read more

Convenient location, hours. But the layout of cramped, the service is a bit pushy and not well informed. The selection isn't bad, but the staff don't seem well informed about what they have. I wanted a single malt whiskey and the young man working there didn't know what that was! asked for an Italian prosecco under $20 and he recommended a Chablis by Almaden. I was not impressed. He seemed annoyed when I left without a purchase. read more

Great liquor store. I have been buying liquor there since it was opened by the original owner. The current owners have done an amazing job building on the former owners legacy. It is so nice to walk in there and be treated like a regular. They are dog friendly and are always happy to see my dog. They have an extensive line of wine and liquor and are more than happy to order any special items. When I asked if they knew about a particular bourbon, they went ahead and got it for me. If you live in Astoria, you owe it to yourself to stop in. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised. read more
