I gotta be honest: this is not my favorite liquor store. Sure, it's conveniently located on Hope St…read moreand has a decent wine selection. Sure, they carry most of my favorite beers and the gentleman owner is friendly. However, it's just way too overpriced. Upon leaving from our first visit to the shop, The Hus declared, "This will NOT be our wine merchant." And it hasn't been, for the most part. I'll go here in a pinch, as it's merely a block away from our abode and sometimes the closeness factor wins out over the cheapness factor. Like I said, dude running the shop is nice enough, and I do like supporting a local biz (who doesn't?). The small shop is chock-full of wines from all types of regions, and as I mentioned has a decent beer selection. It's not nearly as vast or impressive as, say, Bottles, but it gets the job done. S, three stars it is - you'll walk out with a decent beverage, but it'll cost you!

I'm not a big consumer of liquor by any means, but the combination of price and selection at…read moreMurphy's hits the sweet spot better than any other liquor store conveniently accessible from the East Side of Providence. One can certainly find significantly larger selection at liquor superstores in Warwick or Attleboro, and if you are looking for exotic wines or champagnes then you probably would be much happier at those places, but Murphy's does have a surprisingly wide selection of certain items packed into a compact space. Murphy's holds its own with sake, mead, and other less in-demand beverages that small stores typically ignore because they are quite a lot smaller and quite a lot more expensive, and Murphy's best competes as an alternative to those. As a practical matter, if I'm buying a bottle of table wine to bring as a dinner guest or something of that sort, I'm more likely to buy it from Murphy's than from anywhere else because of good prices and convenient location.

I've passed by this place dozens of times and never stopped in because it looks super ghetto. After…read moreseeing the Yelp reviews I figured that maybe it'd be worth a shot. You can't always judge a book by its cover, after all. But sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover. This place is as ghetto as it looks. While having dinner at Doherty's we did a mental inventory of the beer fridge at home and realized we didn't have enough to make it through a Bruins playoff game. I love a place with a good selection and Yelp says that this place has it. I suppose, if you're comparing Murphy's to your average neighborhood liquor store then their selection is pretty decent. But this is no Chris Gasparo's or Yankee Spirits. If you want selection then you need to go to one of the big guys. The selection here is simply above average. The big issue with this place is that it's dirty. Yes, that's in part due to the trashy folks you get walking in and out. While we were there two girl size 26 girls wearing size 6 spandex waltzed in. At one point they simultaneously bent over causing layers of flab to cascade over their skimpy clothing. It was the stuff that nightmares are made of. But the customers aren't the real issue. People watching in Pawtucket is actually one of my favorite hobbies. The problem is that the place itself is just plain dirty. There's one spot with a crumpled up fleece on the floor that's meant to capture water from the dripping roof. Every cooler was covered in grime. The whole place is just dingy. Not to mention, the layout is clumsy. The beer is in three completely different corners of the store. Look, I get it. I don't like my neighborhood liquor store either and I don't give it a shitty score on Yelp because I still go there on a regular basis. It's in my neighborhood and it's convenient. But let's be honest here, this place is really ghetto. If I lived across the street then I'd get my beer there, but I wouldn't like it. Since I don't live in the area I sure as hell won't be back.

They only had one register open during peak hours, but the associate was moving quickly to assist customers and kept the line moving. They've also apparently expanded into parking lot maintenance--at one point, a shopping cart was being used to fill a pothole outside. So, at the end of the day, they're clearly committed to making the best of every situation whether it be working short or working without asphalt.
