Five stars for their friendly customer service! One of the workers must've seen me roaming the store and asked if he could help. Not only did he tell me where my elusive item was, but he took me directly to it. In addition, the cashiers are pleasant and efficient in spite of crazy holiday shoppers. read more

Think Total Wine--no coincidence, Total Wine is the first ad to pop up when you google Ct Beverage Mart--but CBM is local, hence preferred. Local and spectacular! CBM's not my usual spot, but it's always a fun stop. Beverages from near and far can all be found here, by the case, by the nip, by all manner of bottles. The back wall of this big box-sized package store is a refrigerated case, and aisle 1, as of January 2021, is being turned into a second wall of refrigeration. Woot! I haven't been disappointed by the wine recommendations occasionally tucked between price labels, including a recommendation for Sunset Meadow Vineyards. Chris helped me find a couple light but flavorful brews, and pointed them out in the cold case too. Alas, no more New Britain Bev Mart but at least this store, Middletown, and Wallingford are still around, and I think they've got it all. read more

CT Beverage Mart - Aisle 1, January 2021, soon another wall of cold brews! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

One of our go to spots in the area for our adult beverage needs! They have a great selection of craft beers.... we are fans of yummy chocolate stouts / porters.... there's lots to choose from as well as a great variety of craft beers and some international as well. If you are looking for organic they have that too. The wine selections are on point. I've tried many new wines because of their extensive variety and brands. Still a fan of Malbecs and Merlots but happy to branch out and a great place to experiment as the prices are not outrageous. read more

I'm just not sure what there is not to like here! The store is huge so you can find most things you're looking for. If there's a wine you want chilled and will by regularly let them know and they'll add it to the refrigerated wines. They wrap things or put them in a bag free of charge if you're shopping for gifts here. They often have samples and they have a wall near the exit in front of different rebates that you can grab on the way out if you've purchased one of those items. Staff is efficient and helpful if you need help. I've never waited in line here, and the parking lot is pretty big! All good things. It's also nearby for me so that works well. The prices are pretty good too, better than the smaller stores. read more

stopped in, saw they had some bourbon gift packs that they made themselves and asked if they could make 1 for me using 2 bottles i was looking for that they dont sell seperatley due to over inflating the price and the tool of a manager mumbled softly, no... and walked away.... what a complete D nozzle.... i guess the owner gets what he pays for as far as morons working there read more

I always come here whenever I'm in CT for my boozy needs. Their prices aren't always the best, but they have a great selection. Everything you need all in one place! I also love the people who work here...always so friendly and helpful. At the holidays, they have super friendly people who gift wrap your bottles..so nice! Happy to support this store. read more

I'm a novice wine buyer for friends & this place sucks in getting help & very confusing to someone searching for a gift the staff is truly invisible' read more

Michele has hit the spot on this one. CT BevMart has *everything*. Of course, as with any store the size of a Home Depot, they have 1 knowledgeable salesperson to every 10 competent staff members. Seek him or her out -- look for expensive shoes or watches (seriously, it works) if you're in need of a good wine suggestion. I have to disagree on the "beerguys", however. They've spent more time in the woods with 12% craft beers than the rest of us. Listen to 'em, they know what they're talking about. As with any Home Depot size store, this is a DIY warehouse. You'll be the one doing all the "heavy lifting". read more

A fantastic store. Although the inauspicious title of "CT Beverage Mart" conjures images of malt liquor and cash register robberies, I assure you that this is one of the best places in the Hartford area for beer, wine, and liquor. The selection is excellent all around. 3000+ wines, hundreds of beers, and an impressive liquor seciton (though I can't speak much to liquor since I don't buy it often). The store staff is very knowledgable, speaks ENGLISH, and will surely help you choose the right product. Prices are excellent too. Unfortunately, they can't do much about CT taxes and bottle deposits, but I never feel like I've paid too much walking out of the store. Come on down, check it out, and walk out happy! read more

Big open floor layout, easy to use bottle return right when you walk in, and one of the few places where they have a decent/high end selection of beer wine and liquor. I actually care about what I drink and if you know how to wade threw all the crap they they have to carry for the people without taste, you'll find some excellent product. The imported beer, bourbon/whiskey, and Italian wine section is where I spend mnost of my time. A toy store for alcoholic adults. A must try. Ask aobut the high end wines in the back of the store, too! read more

CT Beverage Mart - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

There are a handful of Beverage Mart's in the neighborhood where you have a wide variety of Wines, Vodka, Bourbon & Whiskey's to pick from. The staff over here are very helpful, be it recommending a choice of wine to help a confused mind to pick up from or help you find what you are looking for. This is definitely my favorite place to pick my liquors. read more

A pretty well stocked beer section, and it is nice to see they not only have reasonable prices but also had sales on beers that weren't the usual macro brews .. One thing that i thought was weird was the way half the parking lot was blocked off for liquor store parking and the spots up front had signs for Senior Citizen parking only or some such nonsense .. I guess they don't like the people that shop next door at Savers. read more

I like. Just not all the workers. Good brew selection. read more

CT Bev Mart is always on the list of things to do while home visiting the family. This is THE place to go to for craft beers in the area. Awesome rotating selection including hard-to-find bottles. Very reasonable prices to boot. I always find it easy to pick up a few bottles of wine for the parents. It's also quite convenient to have a bottle return station right on premises! Gotta get that CT bottle deposit cash back! read more

Huge huge huge selection of anything your looking for... Tastings on Friday and Saturdays.... Great prices keep me coming back...

As someone who loves craft beer, this place is great. They have a huge selection of craft beers and wine. I always wind up spending too much time walking around looking at everything. Staff is pretty good, even went in the back and got me a 6 pack of Lawson's they had just got in. Check out area is kind of dirty and looks like the whole place could use a little face lift, but its a package store. All in all good place for beer lovers. Always stop here on the way home from work. read more

Mainly a craft beer guy here, so this review focuses there. When you put 'mart' somewhere in the title of your store, you better be running the gamut on your offerings of beer, wine, and liquor. Fortunately, this place comes through. International beers, micro's, and of course macro's...growlers, bombers, and I even saw (and took a pic of) a 3 liter Stone Double Ba$tard IPA for $100 or so...So you'll find stuff here that you won't find elsewhere. You can also do the mix / match game with your beers as well, but will pay more for the privilege. Service is adequate...They have enough employees keeping the shelves stocked and you can ask for help if you can't find something. Pricing is also important to me and you won't find the cheapest prices around, but I would say it is average to below average pricing. This is my go-to place when I'm in the mood to try something out of the ordinary, but don't know exactly what...I can spend 30+ minutes browsing and come away with an oddball IPA along with some crazy chocolate coffee porter for dessert. A recommend. read more

Staff needs to help more! I was wandering the aisles for a while and never got any help. But, I found everything I wanted so I'm still happy, I just wish I didn't have to waste my time going down all of the aisle searching. But, check out staff were friendly. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Seriously, whenever i need help with something the staff is so wonderful. My fiance was being a pain and wanted a new beer to try but didn't really know what he wanted. Two staff memebers were so patient and helpful, picked out a beer he ended up liking. Another time i went in to buy bulk in campaign for a girlfriend of mine's bridal shower. They had a brand at discount when buying in bulk, but the guy talked me out of it, saying it was too expensive and i could get the cheaper brand and ended up giving me the bulk discount anyways. To me, those little things, go a long way. The store is always clean, friendly and have an amazing variety. Whatever you are looking for, they have it! read more

Talk about great selection and prices! I was blown away with the great values I saw about the store. Staff was friendly, not like Total Wine where they try and force their Private Label crap on you. One thing I wish they didn't have was the lottery I had to wait in line while some lady purchased a bunch of daily numbers but besides that this place rocks!! read more

Really nice selection of beer, wine, and liquor, conveniently located, and reasonable prices. However. I have a bone to pick with one of the staff members (perhaps the manager?) I was in the store the other day browsing the wine selection for quite a while (at least 10-15 minutes.) At the same time there were at least 4-5 other patrons browsing. I was in an aisle where there was one person stocking (who didn't even acknowledge me) and another who was walking around. I noticed him walk by me and ask a customer if they needed help finding anything, and engaged them in conversation, etc.. He then asked another customer the same thing. Then another. The difference between the other patrons and myself? I'm 23, and the others were all at least 40. I made sure to make eye-contact with the employee as if to say "don't leave me out!" He peered over from a wine rack and said, "you all set miss?" I smiled and said "yes" and he walked away. Nowhere near as engaging or enthusiastic to sell product to me as he was to the others. Sad, too. I work as a bartender in an Italian restaurant and have a decent wine knowledge. Had he engaged me and offered to show me popular or new wines, he probably could have upsold something really nice to me (I am young and impressionable, after all.) CT Beverage Mart, you're not a bad establishment. Far from it. This is just a friendly (however harsh) reminder to you to make sure to validate and welcome your younger patrons. Not all of us are there to steal your Dubra. See you soon! read more

Have been a loyal customer for years. Will probably never go there again. No, customer loyalty, not friendly or helpful. New beer guy is no only not helpful, but has little knowledge of beer. read more
