Even though I live in Lincoln, this is the closest liquor store to me, about a seven minute drive if I catch the lights right. It's become one of those places I don't really think about, I just go. Which is usually a good sign. Selection is decent across the board. You're not walking into some massive warehouse with endless options, but you're also not stuck choosing between the same three bottles every time. Wine selection is respectable too, enough variety that you can switch it up without overthinking it. Prices are fair. Not a steal, not overpriced, just right in that middle ground where you don't feel like you're getting taken for a ride. The staff has always been consistently friendly. Nothing over the top, just polite, efficient, and easy to deal with. I've never had an issue there, which honestly counts for a lot. One interesting addition lately, they've started carrying THC and CBD drinks. Not my usual lane, but it's a nice option to have if that's your thing. All in, it's a good neighborhood liquor store. Convenient, dependable, and easy. Not trying to be anything it's not, and it works because of that. read more

I've been coming here for years because it's close, and I like to support my local businesses when possible. They're a good place for beer and most wines and other liquor. The staff is friendly and helpful and it's clean and well marked. Unfortunately, I've had problems getting certain things. For example, Lancer's Portuguese wine is very well known, but they don't carry it. They also didn't have Claret wine sauce or Mead the last time I was there. I also went a few days before New years to get champagne, and only Asti was offered. Korbel or others were not offered. It just seems a little odd to only offer Asti champagne. read more

horrible service. purchased mead that was bad, brought the bottle back so we could replace it and was told "oh gee, it's open". i'm sorry, I'm not a mind reader, I cannot predict that YOUR product would be bad. no refund, no help. read more

Don't understand why they have zero chilled champagne for sale. When people have a special occasion don't they buy champagne at the liquor store!? They have Prosecco only! When I asked about chilled champagne they said: "come with me, I'll show you!" and brought me to the Prosecco?? Really ignorant! WTH! If you want Budweiser come here but, for anything else, it's not worth it, go elsewhere!! Ambiance of a typical, sad liquor store! read more

Hands down the best liquor store in the area. Clarke is my own personal Sommelier!! Never disappoints with his suggestions, is very knowledgeable and really tries to get to know your tastes. If your not sure what to get ask for him! He's the guy! The customer service is always excellent from all staff and the place is spotless. Ample parking and convenient hours. read more

Very clean and organized liquor store which is always fully stocked and features new products that are advertised on tv when you want to try something new. They have all the bells and whistles: beer, wine, hard liquor, mixers, grenadine, juices, snacks. They could work on customer service. I came here to ask for a specific moscato and the guy pointed me to a shelf with all moscato were supposedly at. The one I wanted wasn't there. I ended up calling the store another time to ask for the moscato I wanted and the woman checked stock and said it was there. So basically found out they always carried the moscato I wanted, the previous in store visit, the guy just didn't check stock and lazily pointed me to a shelf where the moscato should've been. read more

1/10 and only gets the 1 for being conveniently located to my house. The staff is consistently, incredibly rude and inattentive. There's always a surplus of employees wondering around the store but it seems nobody available to help or cash out, weird. Having an employee guarding the door to rudely bark at paying customers "we're closed" 15 minutes prior to their listed closing time sure isn't good for business either but I won't be going back so what do I care! Only one of the many bad experiences I've had here. read more

Somewhat pricier than other liquor stores in area but very well organized and clean. They have a large selection of everything really. Employees and owners are super helpful and friendly. They also sell pre-made gift baskets that are nice and reasonably priced. read more

How to lose lifelong customers by Douglas Wine and Spirits. First create a wine club card. The one where once you buy 10 bottles you get the 11th for 25 percent off. Then when a good customer presents the card, say the card are no longer valid. And don't put an expiration date on the card, but instead, blame the customer for not seeing arbitrary posting you put up last year. And be rude about. I had 150 dollars rung up today. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THIER OWN CARD!!!!! The total discount would have been 10 dollars, 10. I left the store amazed. I have been going there for 16 years. THIS IS NOT NOT NOT A GOOD BUSINESS. How dare you Douglas. You obviously don't need my business. read more

Me and my partner goes there all the time he does not have a Rhode Island ID only a permit ID he has another country government ID the lady here this evening was very rude and ignorant she will not take the ID I hate this place now so rude. Sad. read more

This is a really good store in North Providence. I recently was there for a tasting and I could not have been more happy with were I was that day. First off, the store is so clean and organized. I hate going into stores and seeing dusty bottles. This place cares about there product. The store is laid out well and it is easy to scan the facility to find out where your desired product is located in the store. The staff is super nice and helpful. They frequently greeted people in the store. Eric was very helpful to me because he was so nice and knowledgeable about everything. They do have events so keep up with them on their web page. Their next event is on July 23rd. It is a Beer Seminar featuring summer beers. It starts at 6:30 pm. read more

Douglas Wine & Spirits - a view of a liquor store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

See all

I go to Douglas wine and spirit frequently on mineral spring. I just said to I think the manager " wow your not wearing a mask". He said let me ask you a question and started with that how many people get the flu. This Guy who I think is the manager needs to be sat down. I'll never go back there again. He doesn't care about his employees or the customer. Very S read more

I wanted to order a gift for a coworker and he lives in North Providence - this store came up first in my online search. It was easy to find the bourbon I wanted to order, online checkout was a breeze, and within two hours my friend had it in hand. I appreciate that the man delivering it called me to verify the address, and when my friend didn't answer his door he called me again so I could try to contact him (which I did, and he answered!). Thank you! read more

Went in for a couple of bottles of wine and realized I forgot my ID in the car when I got to the register. I've been here many times and have not been carded once. I'm all about checking IDs but maybe you should have a consistent policy? The manager working made me feel like a criminal and rude to boot. Anywho went back to my car, found my ID but decided to take my business elsewhere. Had a great experience at Tony's down the street! Will not be back to Douglas. read more

Used to be my go-to favorite liquor store in Rhode Island.... Rude, rude, RUDE! We were treated like children... Poor customer service off the bat...I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN (and I will tell every one I know not to go here)! Such a shame since I am a very loyal customer...oh well read more

I'm not a big drinker. I do enjoy Guinness from time to time. When it's that time I come here. I'm OCD about cleanliness and organization. This place put my mind at ease. Everything is properly labeled so a individual like me can get in and out. Don't miss the event tonight : Beer Seminar featuring summer beers. It starts at 6:30 pm. read more

Great little town liquor store with competitive prices and some really good deals from time to time (monthly flier offers sale information). Staff is helpful and friendly. Clean, well-lit store. Can't say much else! read more

Why review a wine store? Here's why. The selection is great, like really great. They also have about 5-11 people working at all times who are usually pretty helpful. The downside: Once I got there a few minutes before closing and they were SO angry. I understand not wanting to let a customer into a clothing store or somewhere that they're going to be browsing around forever, but I just wanted to grab a bottle of wine and go. The employees were all shooting dirty looks and yelling about it being closing time. I even apologized and the guy cashing me out said with a matter-of-fact attitude, "we get fined $3,000 if we continue selling past closing'...really? I clearly didn't know that, didn't intend to cause this store such an issue and would NEVER dream of reprimanding a customer like that if I was in the same shoes. If the store wasn't so convenient, this experience would have been a deal-breaker for me. read more

Been coming year for years since I live so close by. Some of the items can be a little more expensive but they have a great selection of beer, wine and liquor. I suggest you join the rewards program here if you plan on coming to this store a lot. read more

I think this place deserves another star after having a really good experience with their customer service. My boyfriend bought some nice margarita salt for me, but once we brought it home and opened it we realized it was expired and pretty gross. He brought it back to the store, and the manager really went out of his way to remedy the situation even though we couldn't return the opened product. A different brand of salt and a six pack in exchange for the faulty product? Awesome job dudes! read more

Usually like this place most of the people that work there are very nice but one woman was very rude. Walked in at 8:50 picked up two items and went to check out. She started screaming at us we are closed you not even supposed to be in here. The guy checking us out was visibly shaking. She went on and on yelling. I thanked him and left, on the way out of the fort I noticed it said open to 9:30, I will not go back. read more

FIRST AND LAST TIME HERE. RUDE! My friends and I walked into this establishment today (four of us) all in our late twenties. Upon checking out, the woman that had a resemblance to Carol Baskin, yelled at us because she wanted all of us to check out at the same register. When we handed over our IDs, we were scolded because one of our friends walked out and he had to be there in order to buy alcohol. Meanwhile we all handed our IDs while he went to grab his. One of our friends' ID rang up on their scanner "without an expiration date." They thought it might be a fake. Making a whole scene about it. Since our one friend had gone home to get his ID we decided to wait around for him in one of the aisles. The Carol Baskin looking lady, kept looking at us as if we were misbehaving. She proceeds to send one of her employees to check on us. This was unnecessary because we had already told this employee we were waiting for our one friend to go get his ID at home. read more

I am 40 years old and went to purchase a bottle of wine here. I have a temporary license because I just moved and they would not accept that or my numerous Bar identification cards, including a RI State Issued Court ID, so I was unable to make a purchase. You will no longer be getting my business. read more

This place is extremely overpriced. Have been going to a different store. Only use this place because of conveniency. Right down the road from where we live. Always out of stock on the most basic items. The managers are always sitting around doing nothing but chatting even when there is a huge line. Also treats employees poorly and overworks them. The employees at the register are great. The management needs adjusting. Will no longer be doing business here. read more

Good selection and good prices. I wish they carried more of the Cruzian rum flavors, I only saw the vanilla. Friendly staff and a clean organized store. I've never had an issue here. They're even fast moving the lines out the door at the holidays. read more

This store has very little of interest available. It appears they only want to shelf items which the Distributors want to showcase. Beer selections are obviously meant to appeal to the mainstream masses. The Spirits lack international representation. read more

Not to be confused with Delta on Smith St, another large NP liquor store with a teal logo. Unlike there, I actually enjoyed the one time I came to Douglas. They had a respectable selection of craft beer singles. I don't recall where the prices landed but I think somewhere in the middle. read more

Friendly staff, decent selection and price. Better for beer than wine, but you can find a decent bottle here.

Very disrespectful and rude staff. Was publicly disrespected by an older dark haired woman that works there, berating me in front of all the other patrons. Will NEVER spend another cent there if they treat their paying customers like that. True embarrassment. read more

This place refused to let me buy liquor, even though I am 30 yrs old AND I had my ID on me. Oh well, if they don't want my money. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

This place is horrible. The woman that helped me is unfriendly and there is no customer service. Her attitude is making the store lose a lot of business. Do not go here read more
