The staff is very attentive and has been there forever. We don't drink but do cook with wine. so I make the long walk up the street to get a bottle of wine to cook with or a couple bottles of beer to use in a braise. They have a very large selection of wines, beer, and spirits. Finding what your looking for here shouldn't be hard at all. read more

I walked into Kappy's the other day, not really expecting much. I was looking for something non-alcoholic, and since I've had bad experiences with this place before, I didn't even bother asking. The arrogance from the staff here is practically baked into the walls. As I was leaving, sure enough, one of their employees finally decides to acknowledge me. But instead of a normal, professional "Can I help you find something?" he throws out a half-hearted, almost sarcastic "Need any help?" It wasn't friendly, it wasn't genuine--it was dripping with attitude, like I was inconveniencing him just by walking through the door. I know when I'm dealing with bullshit, and this was exactly that. If they were actually interested in customer service, maybe they'd greet people as they walked in, or at least make an effort to act like they cared. But no--just another arrogant Boston attitude, served up right at the door. I should have trusted my gut and stayed away, because every time I give this place another chance, they just confirm they don't deserve my business. Shame on me for expecting anything different. read more

Can't keep my mouth shut for my love of Kappy's! I went on a Friday evening, and it wasn't very crowded at all. The aisles are well-marked, so you can quickly find what you're looking for. They had the Downeast Cider Donut cider that had just come out! And a number of other local craft beer options like Idle Hands, Remnant, and Lamplighter. Prices are solid ($17 for Bota Box boxed wine yeeehawww), and there are lots of wine options. I'll be a regular, Kappy! read more

See all

I used to frequent this Kappy's on a regular basis when I lived in Malden. Not a bad place. Decent prices for the area with monthly specials. The staff are helpful and friendly when I checked out. Decent selection but they do not have everything as this store is not as huge as the one at Wellington Circle. read more

This place sucks I saw a rat in the wine isle. The drunk behind the counter ringing up my order smelt like urine. It was terrible

I was at a conference at a nearby hotel and stopped by to get a couple of bottles of wine. I was wondering around lost in the great selection of wine when a sales person asked me if they could help me find something. I told them the brand I was looking for and the gentleman said, " Oh that is a New Zealand brand and I keep my wine by country rather then by type". He took me right to the section that had the brand that I was looking for. That is when I realized he was the owner. Now that is service and saved me a lot time just wondering around. I am from Seattle and come out to the Boston area once or twice a year and if near Peabody will come back to this Kappy's again! read more

LOVE Kappy's. They have a friendly and helpful staff, and a tremendous selection of craft beer. The redemption desk is easy too... they generally just take my word for how many bottles I'm returning. I will drive past 6 other liquor stores on a regular basis to come to Kappy's! read more

I visited the Peabody location today I was looking for Josh cellars I was approached by a young bald headed employee with a slight beard he asked me if I needed help and told him I was looking for Josh. He pointed it out and told me he could sell me a cheaper better wine well he pointed that brand out which I don't like which I told him then he said to me Josh is made with lots of chemicals I assumed he worked for the other brand not the store but he worked for the store. He obviously doesn't like Josh and we got into an argument over his choice of selling he had very poor salesman skills and next time I am in the area I will go to total wines. Being in sales for over 25 years I could not believe this young man's attitude totally blown away. Good luck with an employee like this. read more

You almost feel like dancing into this place you are so happy to be here. I have driven by the store on route 1 and the store near the north shore mall, but I decided to go to this one since it is close to where I live and the parking is excellent here. I love Harpoon's Pumpkin Cider on tap, so I have been trying to get it at other places with no success. And behold, Kappy's had an abundance of it in six pack bottles. It is ten for a six pack bottle, but trust me people, it is well worth it. You truly have not lived until you have tasted pumpkin cider. And this place is so clean you could almost lick beer off the floor. I am going to watch the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills while drinking pumpkin cider I bought from Kappy's. read more

This is my "go-to" liquor store because of its location, selection, and price. They are by far the cheapest liquor store in the area and have the best selection. They also have fun "discounted" parts of the store with a myriad of items. My favorite was the singles beer discounted table. A 16 oz. bottle of Heineken Light for 49 cents? Sold! read more

I've never purchased leottery ticket before so don't really know how to play it. I asked the service to buy nine tickets and she just take my cash and give me nine random numbers which printed on two tickets and don't even ask me if i wanted to choose the number by myself! There's only one friendly guy at there helped me and tell me how to play it. Kappa's liquors should never hire people like them who don't show respect to their customers ! read more

I feel grateful that this is less than a mile from my home. I live in Melrose where the two other options are either way overpriced or woefully low in selection. The prices and selection at Kappy's is phenomenal. When one of the managers is on the floor or in the back office, they are always willing to help recommend or find something for you. They are very knowledgeable. My biggest complaint is about the very surly cashiers. I think the worst offenders are gone, but, every time I'm there, they are always talking to the cashiers at different registers, carrying on conversations while ignoring me completely, going through the motions of scanning and bagging. The parking is always a bit sketchy. Just a few weeks ago during the day there was some sort of shoot out. That's not Kappy's fault but I do find myself being extra cautious when I'm there in the evening. read more

Liquor store... pretty standard. One of the smaller Kappy's locations but still a pretty good selection. The neighborhood surrounding this location could be better. read more

im living in malden for couples of years and this is the nearest kappy from my home . I am trying to recycle some beer bottles today. when i entered the store and droped off some cases a big guy YELLING at me not there and at same time point the other side 4months ago! then i understood they moved recycle department 4months ago and im dropped my beer case in the wrong place well do i should know that changing for your store? can that big guy speak whole thing like nomal servicer? terrbile temple！ rollling my day thank you！！ read more

I've been here a number of times. It's big, with helpful staff, often has some sort of station set up for free stuff, has a good selection, and the prices are quite solid. read more

It's easy to forget that there's a Kappy's on Main Street, but this location has saved an unnecessary trip to a store further away many times. Kappy's is sort of like the Dunkin Donuts of beer stores...you can definitely give directions around Malden using Kappy's as landmarks. read more

I like the Kappy's. The building might be a touch older so the floors look a little dirty, but I'm not eating off the floor. The neighborhood (East Somerville) is not so great and the intersection is wicked busy (Route 28 & Revere Parkway, aka Route 16). And it's not too far from Wellington T station. Decent selection and prices (the sale items were usually good, the non-sale prices aren't the cheapest but okay). I liked their wine tasting events (which often included some deals). Some monthly specials as well. Pretty well-staffed (usually 2-4 cashiers and a few other people floating around). Examples: good selection of Moscato D'Asti, Burgundies, champagne, Californian wines. They had a kosher and dessert wine section too. Good amount of liquors. I've never been pressured to buy something but every time I visit, I seem to walk out with something. read more

This is a nice place to buy your alcohol specially since its right down the street from my house. Prices are good to and the staff is nice.

Always have a great selection. The guy in the micro brew section is great to talk to and knowledgeable.

For a small store they have lots of variety, but I'm not coming again because the bottle return guy was slow and unfriendly. First, he walked right by me while I was waiting. I said "hi." He didn't answer. Eventually, he came back. Then he wanted to check every single can to see if it was purchased in Massachusetts, and it was going to take him longer than it'd take me to push them through a can machine. It's not much business, but I usually return bottles and cans and then buy beer. No more. Do it quickly and at least don't be rude, or don't do it at all. read more

It's always a bad sign of how things are going for a package store when it starts ignoring packs of clearly underage kids hanging around the front door waiting for someone to bring out their beer. I know there is new competition in the area, but I didn't expect Kappy's to decline this quickly. read more

people here aren't very nice. I go in on weekends and they never even look up and act like I am bothering them. good prices tho
