I walked in to check out the craft beer selection. They had some things that I like such as Sip of…read moreSunshine and Dogfish, but the selection of craft beer was not broad as some of the shops I visit. The selection of non-craft beer seemed typical. I wasn't in the market for wine or hard alcohol, but the store was fairly large and it looked like they must have had a decent selection of that.

The Silas Deane Highway is home to several (and I mean several) liquor stores. The problem is that…read more(1) the majority of them sell your standard mass produced wine and beer; (2) the owners have both a limited knowledge of their product and (3) they are unwilling to venture out and carry a larger selection local (state/region) wine, beer and spirits. I will admit to patronizing several of them, but my search for a local liquor store as ceased with the discovery (and more frequent patronization) of Townline Discount Wines & Liquors, which surpasses them all. Yes, they carry a wide range of mass produced wine, beer, and spirits but they also carry some unique selections, all at competitive prices. They also have a good selection of local, craft and small batch beer (which I appreciate more and more). In addition to the selection, they get high marks from me for their customer service. The owners have always been very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, even going as far as to offer to purchase a varietal of wine not on their shelves. Now that's customer service!

This shop is pretty awesome, boasting an extensive selection of libations. Was pretty impressed by…read moretheir Belgian ales and grabbed a Fin du Monde since I don't come across them often. The prices are very reasonable and definitely cheaper or comparable to what I'd pay in NY (where I was visiting from). To top it off the staff are so friendly and helpful. They didn't carry a sweet Shiraz (Jam Jar) that my friend wanted and the cashier searched and found another store nearby that sold it. Talk about going above and beyond!

I have been a long time customer (mostly via delivery). This…read moreweek I did not receive my entire delivery. When I received my order I immediately checked it and realized a $20 item was missing. By that time the driver had pulled away. Right away, I called Forest City to explain, and I asked if they could contact the driver? The woman on the other end was so defensive and rude. She yelled over me "we've delivered to you before, we know your order!". I was mindful about never blaming them, because I honestly felt the driver just accidentally left part of my order in the car. I calmly told her that I know it must be the drivers error. Can we contact him? I also said "I just want to receive what I paid for". Her response was to hang up on me!!!!! A minute later she called me back and yelled at me that the reason she hung up was because I asked "too many questions" (Um... I only asked if she could contact the driver??) and told me she had to hang up because she had "real" customers in front of her and "didn't have time to talk to me". She hardly let me get a word in. I stayed calm and quiet and let her rant about how "they have cameras" blah blah blah. In the end I told her I would just never shop there again. That seemed to offend her, so I politely ended the call and said "good night" A $20 error us not worth my energy, but her horrible customer service lost her a long term customer. Good thing their competition will happily accept me as a customer. I'm really disappointed by the horrible service I received.

This has quickly become my favorite wine shop. The owners and staff are really knowledgeable about…read moretheir wines and always have great recommendations. While I tend to splurge there (their Sancerre selection is great!), they also have a good selection of lower price point wines. I always walk out of here with something new -- and bonus points for the Boston terriers who are usually working as greeters!

The new shop boosts an impressive array of Ale & Lager coolers with a chilled behind-the-scenes browsing space. Ample shelf and floor displays for the bottled spirits and wines. Knowledgeable staff eager to assist & recommend. But most astonishing is their Fine Wine Closet (aka Environment Controlled Chiller). Yes, the prices do reflect the use of the Chiller, but again, if you're a discerning shopper or collector you've got to add This Wise Old Dog to your list!

Service and prices. My favorite wine is $2 cheaper here than it is at CT Beverage Mart, and the service is better than any other store in the area. The owners and employees are so helpful. Unlike other stores where you may wander around aimlessly with no one to help you (yes, CBM, I'm talking to you), at The Grog Shop they're quick to lend a helping hand. They have a relatively big selection and will give discount pricing on cases of wine. If you want something but don't see it, just ask - they may have it in the back or may be able to order for you.

So shocked by the bad reviews that I needed to describe my experience. We live in San Francisco and…read morehave placed three phone orders with them for delivery. Julia (store manager) helped me. She is amazing. She helped me pick out wines, sent me pics of the wines, wrote up bday and Xmas cards, and checked with the owner to confirm that the wines were the ones my in-laws would enjoy (I know little about red wines) and then packaged them beautifully and delivered them promptly. With the coronavirus, I was worried that they wouldn't have the same service. Um, nope. Julia actually responded to me at 9:00 p.m. ET--omg. Who does that? Truly outstanding customer service. My in-laws loved all the wines that Julia (and the owner) picked out. So grateful to have this fabulous store. Will definitely order again.

The owner is super nice and friendly, and made excellent suggestions to us. They have wine in there that I've never even heard of, which is a super good and awesome sign. I can't believe we've lived 5 mins down the road from here for the last 2.5 years and never thought to check it out. If you want Scottish or Irish whiskey that you can't find in other places, def come here, chances are they actually have it. I also bought an amazing $80 huge bottle of Kentucky bourbon, and it's one of the best bourbon's I've ever had. If you're in the Rocky Hill/Wethersfield area, you def need to come here, because they have something for everyone.
