I'm not a whiskey drinker, but when I first went to Louisville in 2021, I discovered a bourbon that…read moreI actually liked (in small quantities): Blade and Bow by Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Unfortunately you cannot get it in Canada, so when we went to the US in the summer of 2022, I was determined to purchase a couple of bottles. We didn't have any luck in DC or Baltimore, but I figured surely it would be available in New York, and every time I saw a liquor store I'd go in, but I couldn't find it anywhere. However, while in Brooklyn we came across Brooklyn Wine Co so we went in and to our surprise, they sold Blade and Bow! And at $49.95, it was cheaper than at the distillery in Louisville ($63)! So when my husband and I went back to New York over Christmas, going back to Brooklyn Wine Co, even though it was out of our way, was a priority. Because we had only a limited number of days we could venture into Brooklyn (we couldn't go to Brooklyn on days we had a show booked, for example) and I didn't want to turn up and they were out of stock, I contacted them ahead of time asking if there was a chance they would run out of stock, and if so, offered to pre-pay. The owner responded saying that they regularly stock Blade and Bow, but if they were running low, they would put some aside for me, and no need to pre-pay. When we arrived on December 28th, they had plenty of Blade and Bow in stock, but due to the ridiculous custom rules, we could only purchase three bottles. In addition to being one of the few liquor stores that stocks Blade and Bow, the customer service was great. One of the employees offered to go into the stock room to see if he could find a bottle with a specific number that we needed to complete our collection. (There are little plastic keys hanging from the bottles, numbered one to five, and if you get all five and go back to the distillery, you get a golden cup.) Unfortunately we couldn't get the number we needed to complete the set (#5), but the employee was able to help us find another that we needed. Even though we went to Brooklyn Wine Co for a specific product, they have a great selection of wines and spirits, and I will definitely go back if I am ever in New York.

The wine selection is lackluster, lots of $9 stuff for $12.99…read more But the real issue was the pedantic and probably racist cashier. When requesting a bag, my wife asked if they had a larger size. Cashier goes off like it's some kind of outrageous dealbreaker of a request: "you said you want a bag, this is what we've got, and if you don't want these you're not getting a bag..." It was way over the top, and it seemed clear he felt he could talk down to her like that because she's a woman of color and speaks with a slight accent. It also tracks with some previous reviews. Anyway, stay away from this place. Even if you like bigoted prigs for some reason, you'll be disappointed by the wine selection.

Based on my request for a less common grape varietal they didn't carry, they were able to steer me towards something similar that I had never tried before.

They don't carry the normal "liquor store crap", and for that I'm so thankful. The fact that they have a 50ml bottle of El Dorado 15 Year in one of their buckets for small bottles, is a dead give away that this place is wise... and awesome. I don't live in the neighborhood, but I frequent Red Hook enough to stop by and try a new bottle of something. And the *something* is always fantastic.

I live down the street from B & D Liquor Store, but I only recently turned 21 (well, actually …read more.. 22 now, I guess) in NYC, so I've never stepped foot inside. The awning makes this liquor store look unapproachably cheap, but I took a chance when I desperately needed some dark ale for braising chicken. As soon as I opened the door, I heard the owner say "Sorry, I have a customer," and hang up the phone. So attentive! He politely looked towards me in the non-sleaziest way possible, and I quickly explained my dilemma. He apologized courteously about the lack of beers in the store; they only sell liquors, wines, and spirits. Right - that's what it says outside. I really appreciated that he was not snarky about it at all. He concernedly suggested the Rite-Aid down the street, or another grocery store, and I was moved by his genuine desire to help me find the missing ingredient. I was pretty desperate, however, so I asked if he recommended any wines for braising chicken. He walked me to the white wine section, and pointed out two dry white wines. When I asked if there were smaller sizes (since it'd be a one-time use), he exclaimed "Oh, of course!" and he showed me the perfect thing - a lovely, 200mL bottle of Chardonnay. I cannot impress upon you how INCREDIBLY helpful and wonderful he was. After all his help, I felt really bad that I was only spending $2, and I made awkward reassurances that I'd be back, now that I'm legally able to buy alcohol. 5 stars for service, for sure. It's a small store, but everything inside is arranged tastefully and organized well. I guess the selection isn't as extensive as an oenophile would like (obviously I'm not one), but I think this small liquor & wine store would suit all of my purposes - wines and liquors for baking, cooking, and drinking at classy dinner parties. I don't like being overwhelmed my selection anyway, so there! It's perfect for me. :D
