This place is a must stop if you're a bourbon drinker and looking for an excellent single barrel, barrel proof store pick. They do an amazing job at picking barrels. I've been to many distillery's from Michigan, Kentucky to Florida searching for great bottles and have found multiple ones here. Purchased my second bottle of larceny barrel proof store pick "Patel cartel" (delicious butterscotch flavor) and a peerless single barrel store pick with amazing cherry cola notes very similar to my Stagg 25D batch. Always a very relaxed and welcoming ambiance from the workers, they have samples that are available to try as well prior to purchase. Whoever is doing the tasting and picking these barrels, thank you very much! Your palette is on point and you do a great job read more

I cant tell you how many times I come in here looking for a whiskey, tequila or rum for a myself, as a holiday gift or for the whiskey club I attend and have never left disappointed. The store picks don't even fit on the Sam's pick shelf and overflow into the store. The staff is always super helpful and really helps point me to what's new and exciting or something that I don't want to miss out on. Props today to the man behind the counter, the store was popping and he was still making time to help me out. This is a whiskey lovers paradise. Highly recommend! read more

A wonderful little spirits paradise in what appears from the outside to be just another standard liquor store. One walk in the door and that assumption is quickly tossed aside. They have every category covered and curated with knowledge and expertise. Amazing agave, superb single malts, great Bourbons and Ryes, stellar rums, fabulous gins, etc etc. Unlike so many stores in FL that settle for obscene mediocrity, carrying only what their sales reps tell them, it's apparent this owner has done his homework and has remarkable taste and insight into the spirits world. If you live in the Orlando area and are a fan of high quality spirits you really need to stop by and support Sam, the owner. He and his entire team are a gracious, helpful crew. read more

Greg was chill. Love the staff and all they offer. To my fellow rum enthusiasts: this store's for you. Proud to be a local with this hidden gem! read more

Five Star Liquors is the very best store in the Longwood, FL and Orlando, FL area. Tons of single barrel selections of Tequila, Rum, Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon, and Ryes! read more

The employees at this liquor store are very kind and helpful. They don't have a huge inventory all the time, however, if there's something you regularly purchase (like a certain type of wine) they make sure they have it stocked on the shelves. Their prices are higher than other liquor stores since they are a small family owned business rather than a huge corporate store. However, if you're a frequent flier there, they will sometimes throw in a free shot or two for you. Who doesn't love free stuff?!?! Especially when it's liquor. I go here out of convenience and because of their speedy service. I wish their prices were more comparable to other stores which is why they lose a few stars for me. read more

Pure heaven with a VAST selection. You're drinking well with their considered choices and this shop is the is the bartenders choice from those who work around the Orlando area. Seriously worth the trip. 5 stars for Five Stars Liquor is well deserved. read more

Five Star Liquor and Wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Longwood, Florida

WARNING TO WOMEN: I was accused of shoplifting on my first visit to this liquor store. They don't have a website to see the inventory before you go, so if you take too long (15-20mins) in their small space crammed with bottles, & have a purse, you will be told to leave & accused of stealing. If you'd like to know all the details of my experience continue to read... I have dealt with sexism before when I've gone to buy whiskey. I roll my eyes when the employee assumes I don't have the palate or acumen to know what I'm looking at. I am an avid connoisseur & I own a whisk(e)y tasting company, not that it should matter about how I am treated while shopping. A friend found this store last week & based on his rec, I made the 40+ min drive out there. I was even told I would hit it off with the owner of the store. Sadly, my experience was terrible. It is worth noting they DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE. Therefore all my browsing happened on the premises. The store is small/crammed & bottles are hidden behind one another. Also important to note that many of the bottles DO NOT HAVE PRICE TAGS. I picked up mult. bottles to flip to see if there was a price on the bottom or on the side. I also made sure I put each bottle exactly back where I found it as a conscious consumer should. At 6:00pm on Feb 13th, a friend(male) and I arrived in the store. The employee(m) was talking loudly to a customer(m) at the counter. The first thing we overheard was a story about how the previous day the kids of a 94-year-old woman who passed, came in & gave him $10,000. So the employee that received $10k for treating one client well, he is the reason this store has lost the potential revenue from myself/my clientele. The first 10 mins there, only one other customer came in, & they discussed the $10k gift story. When he left my friend bought a bottle of wine and the employee told him the $10k along with other life info. He also asked my friend if I was "his partner" which seemed odd, but the guy was a chatty individual. 15 mins into shopping a new man came in & was getting help with Titos. Close to the 20min mark, the man was leaving & 3 or 4 people entered the store. My friend walked over to me & said he would wait outside since we are COVID-19 cautious & respectful of social distancing. Before I could say give me 3 minutes the employee walked over to me. I had in my left arm a 12-year Cardhu box & in my right an Old Pulteney Liqueur bottle (both under $50). The employee said he didn't want to offend me & this was awkward, but I was in there for a long time. He then stated that I touched $300 bottles of tequila (which how was I to know they don't have price tags), & he rambled about people coming in with bags. I didn't realize he was accusing me of shoplifting until my friend point-blank asked him if he was. The furthest thing from my mind was thinking he thought I was a klepto. He then said he couldn't continue to watch me (didn't realize I was being cased the entire time), so I needed to buy something right then or leave because he was uneasy. He repeated himself and then pointed out that my friend bought only an $11 bottle and repeated he can't watch me with other people in the store so I needed to buy & leave or leave if I was offended. I was so thrown off by what was happening, I then tried to locate the bottle I grabbed the Cardhu box behind to put it back in its place & then the employee said to leave the bottle anywhere & go as he became even more frazzled. I sat the whisky on a barrel & we left. Shortly after leaving, my friend went back inside and returned the offensive only $11 wine. At first, when we left I felt so embarrassed & sad I brought him all the way over there, but now I am grateful because WTF?!? Also I have a witness to what transpired. LAST THING TO NOTE: There is no sign on the door that says no purses or "bags" & there isn't a sign stating a time limit upon entry.  The employee didn't ask a question to gain insight on why I was in there for 15/20 mins. Which still doesn't feel very long for my 1st time & how their store is crammed w bottles. My hair was pulled back, I didn't have a hat on, even with a mask I am well recognizable. Also, I was in there for almost 20 mins, my face is all over the cameras & if they don't have cameras they should invest if they are so worried about $300 bottles. I have dealt with sexism before but this was on another level. Maybe outside of a 94-year-old woman, if he has never seen a girl that knows the industry. Maybe he is suspicious of all women. Terrible way to retain customers & to expand their base beyond Sabal Point to accuse 1st-time customers of shoplifting. I hope other women/people have not had the same experience. The irony of it all is that when we walked in the 1st thing I heard was the employee self-promoting that due to his great customer service to a customer he was given $10,000. Wish I would have been given that same respect & customer service. read more

Five Star Liquor and Wine - The tequila I was accused of stealing. I had taken a photo of this bottle & a few others while inside to later do research to learn more. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Awesome customer service and great selection of bourbon. A hidden gem for barrel picks!

They have a very good selection of alcohol including imports! If your close or passing by, this is the place to shop!

My absolute favorite liquor store in Orlando. He doesnt price goige on his whiskeys, everything is at or below msrp. Sam, the owner, is super nice and always eager to help, every suggestion he has made has been great! I cant recommend this place enough, easily worth the 30 minute drive for me to get there read more

I love Bourbon. Rather than just buy big name, expensive ones, I try to find good ones in the $50 to $100 range. Five Star has never steered me wrong! Owner and staff are top shelf. read more

Great selection of tequila! BUT...tell the tall lanky guy that works there to not spout his liberal political views...I come there to shop not hear politics. read more

Great selection of rums and Islay whiskies! Friendly service and amazing inventory. A Florida Rum Society partner store. Highly recommended.

I give Five Star, five stars! They are the best and have a great selection. whenever we have wanted to purchase some fairly unusual stuff, they always get it in right away if they don't have it in stock right then. truly a pleasure to shop there. Sam and his staff are to notch! read more

Greeted upon arrival young man was friendly and helpful walked us to the wine and other liquor, checked us out quickly and efficiently. The store seemed a bit cramped but it also looked like they were stock d pretty well. Good experience would definitely recommend read more

On a recent trip up to the Longwood area, I remembered that I have been wanting to check out Five Star Liquor! Sam is the owner and greeted me with a warm welcome! He inquired as to what I might be looking for and told him I was not sure but just wanted to look around, check out his inventory and maybe something great would pop up. I spent a good 30 min walking through the store checking out all his great finds. They have things I had not seen before so it was nice to make new discoveries! Sam helped a number of customers that came into the shop and I noticed that he was able to give good information about many of the items he sells... and was able to include a sample of many of them to customers. Why spend money on a bottle of booze only to get home and not enjoy the whole thing? We talked about whisky and I ended up with the special of the week from the Orlando Whiskey Society. So the next time you are in the area and need a bottle of spirits at decent prices, stop by Five Star and talk with Sam. It will be the best thing you do all week! Enjoy! read more

Nice liquor store with a lot of different varieties and the owner or employee that was there when I went in was very friendly and knew his products. The prices here are fair and this is one of a few liquor stores near by, even the Publix next door does not sell hard liquor only beer and wine. Will continue to stop in here to purchase alcohol. read more

Five Star Liquor and Wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Sam and his store, Five Star Liquor and Wine, were so impressive I'm writing my first review since joining Yelp in 2013. A bit of a drive for us but worth the trip. Five Star Liquor and Wine is a gem that stocks hard to find selections of spirits. Sam the owner is very personable and walked me through his inventory, highlighting his favorites. The store also partners with the big name distilleries such as Buffalo Trace and does private picks which were readily available on the day I visited. For someone new to the world of bourbon this was an educational experience and it allowed me to pick up some selections I've only read about. I look forward to more trips and adding to the home bar. read more

Great choices of select beers and great people. I've been shopping here for the past few years, and I always enjoy their single barrel project brews. read more

This is a small liquor store located in the Shoppes of Sweetwater. The staff is polite and helpful, the prices are decent and the bonus is that they carry a selection of Rogue Beer! Huge and amazing selection of rums. They have Puerto Rican Rums!!! read more

Sam the owner, his selection, and unmatched customer service make this liquor store the best in central Florida. Don't be fooled by its small size - they can bring in anything you want if you can't find it. Frequent tasting opportunities ensures you're happy with your selection! They do a great job of bringing new and different products into their store. Definitely visit this local shop read more

Okay, the store is small, so the selection could be better. They do a good job of avoiding overstocking the normal drab and do a great job of getting random gems on their shelves. In addition to that, the staff are quite easily the best in town. I have yet to find a liquor store where the staff is this friendly. They are knowledgeable on all fronts, while some you can tell are more into scotch, bourbon, wine, etc etc, they all make an effort to give you suggestions based on your likes. Don't hesitate and make sure to ask for help if you want to try something new! read more

great place! I can get my german beers (including Koestritzer Schwarzbier - you ought to try it!), knowledgeable customer service when wanting to try a new sipping rum and they have my favorite cigarillo's... read more
