I love this place's prices and employees. Every time I restock my home bar (About once a year) I always make the trip here. They have awesome sales, offer a military discount, and even help me carry everything out to my truck! read more

This store features a great selection. Plenty of interesting beers - imports, micro-brews, etc. Plenty of cheap jugs of wine. Plenty of liquors, liqueurs, etc. On the other end of the spectrum, if you really want to spend $300 on a bottle of cognac, or find a 5L bottle of vintage Bordeaux ... they have that too. For the wine snobs - like me - there's always something interesting to be found, they have a broad selection of all the WS, WE, and WA reviewed stuff you are looking for, plus there's often some older vintage stuff hanging around. A few years ago, I opened a 98 Beaucastel CDP at a dinner party that had been in my cellar for years. It was stunning. The next day I went to Cranberry and found one remaining 1.5L bottle of it - on sale (this was several years post-release). I saw plenty of other historical items there just today, just waiting for a treasure hunter to snag. Check their web site before you go - www.cranberryliquors.com, there is almost always a 20% off coupon for 750ml bottles (and they have a 10/15% mixed/full case discount also). A few years ago, I'd have given them 6 stars, because there were a string of deeply knowledgable wine geeks staffing the store. I could literally walk in with a menu, and walk out with a dozen brilliant matches they they knew I'd like. And I could special order just about anything. There's been turnover, and the current crew is certainly nice ... but just not operating at the same level of knowledge. I have had a few issues trying to order stuff in. Even so, the store is well worth a visit if you know what you are looking for .... read more

Full disclosure - this is an indirect client of mine. With that out of the way, today was my first visit to Cranberry and it may have had the most impressive selection of wines and spirits of any of the 7 liquor stores I visisted. From top class Bordeaux (with some bottle age) to easy to gulp jug wine, single malt Scotch to rot-gut hip flask vodka. They will have just about anything to make your liver dislike you and your mouth smile. I couldn't resist stocking up on some 2005 German Reisling for the wine cellar at home. read more

Cranberry Liquors has an average beer and wine selection as far I am concerned but if you are looking for a lesser found spirit, Cranberry is the place to go. I'm a big scotch, bourbon and tequila fan. Whenever I need a new bottle, I head to Cranberry because they have a huge selection. Whether I'm restocking a favorite or in the mood to try something new, I know Cranberry will have what I want. I have visited most of the major liquor stores in North Eastern Carroll County (Hampstead, Westminster, Finksburg, etc) and their scotch selection is unmatched. They even have quite a few of those couple hundred dollar bottles that I'll buy first thing after I win the lottery. Their prices are a little higher but usually this can be mitigated with the coupons that can be found on the website. I've forgotten it and showed it to them from my phone and accepted it. If you are looking for a good spirit selection and perhaps something a little harder to find, Cranberry probably has it. If they don't, their staff is very friendly and accommodating and can help you find it. read more

Great prices, great selection, friendly staff. You can't go wrong. If you like craft beer, they always have something on sale (an I'm talking popular items, not close out/clearance stuff). Something for everyone in here. Great bottle shop. read more

absolutely terrible, purchased buffalo trace 750ml bottle for $50, down the street at college liquors a 1.75ml bottle for $60. over twice the amount of liquor for $10 more. completely ripped off read more

Incredibly rude. My boyfriend and I are from PA and were not aware of Maryland's law about refusing to serve alcohol to people with a horizontal license, even if it is valid and they are 21. My boyfriend had a horizontal license but because I had a vertical license, the lady at the counter was very rude and refused to sell to either of us after we had gathered a large amount of liquor for a Christmas party at the register (even thought we are both of age and have a valid license). There was no reason she couldn't sell to my boyfriend, (he has a valid horizontal license) but instead she asked us to return our items. Went to the liquor store down the street and they accepted my ID no problem. read more

Maybe one of the top two liquor stores in Maryland. Very knowledgeable people working there. Lotta product. Superior customer service

I live about twenty minutes away, but make it a point to stop in at least once a week, their beer selection is AWESOME, and they've always got some new wine specials or recommendations that I just need to try! read more

They go an extra mile with their selections (look at the other reviews as well). I am very impressed because this is probably the only liquor store (within a 50 mile radius of where I live) that sells the Original Sin Hard Cider from NY. The other liquor stores only have the very common hard ciders: Woodchuck or Angry Orchard. read more

This store has finest selection of fine wines, liqueurs and great brews. The prices are the best and the staff is very knowledgeable and polite. I will recommend this store to everybody. read more
