Great place, close by where I was staying. Organized and with variety. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

I wish there was 150 stars to give this place. I have never ever encountered such unbelievable customer service IN MY LIFE!! It's my husband and my anniversary today and yesterday I was going crazy looking for this rare Japanese whiskey he had mentioned called the MATSUI. I had already been to the Malden location and they didn't have it, but offered to call the Medford location for me. When the man called he said I was "lucky to have got Megan on the phone" and BOY WAS HE RIGHT! There was ONE left at their location and they said they would hold it for me. Come to find out it actually wasn't in there store, but Megan assured me she could try to work something out and have to call their distributer and see if they could overnight it so I could get it by this morning before my husband got home from work to make it in time for our anniversary dinner. Megan was in touch with me multiple times during the day giving me updates, and even left me a voicemail at 7:30pm CONFIRMING SHE GOT OFFICIAL WORD WE WOULD HAVE IT FOR TODAY!! I was freaking out and so so grateful !! MEGAN YOU ARE LITERALLY A SUPERHERO AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF CARE, AND TIME you took for me to receive this gift. You could have easily said "we are out of stock" and moved on. BUT NO!! You put in so much extra time, effort, and haste I will never ever forget this experience and will NEVER EVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR OUR LIQUOR!!! Fast forward to this morning, I had a wonderful man Jimmy call me to give me the BEST NEWS THAT THE BOTTLE HAD ARRIVED AND HE HAD PUT IT ASIDE FOR ME!! I COULD HUG MEGAN AND JIMMY FOREVERR!! Long story short, my husband was absolutely FLOORED that I had got my hands on this rare bottle and I will never ever ever forget the hospitality and care this staff went through inorder to make our anniversary so special. No one works/cares like that anymore, and it was seriously so special and unforgettable. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

Amazing store with great selection. Jimmy in the liquor department has always been spot on for recommendations based on the bottles I have previously purchased even grabbed my number and followed up when the new Ardbeg special release I was looking for came in. Incredibly helpful staff, always excited to come in and see what's new in the whiskey cabinet. The expanded independent bottlings of scotch has been awesome to see. read more

They have the biggest selection of wine in the Boston area and for the best prices. They have a variery of things here. The employees are helpful and nice. My only issue here is that in order for them to sell you liquor everyone has to be 21. I was with my nephew and he is 19. But I get that the policy must be set in place with reason. read more

This happened years ago but I'll never forget going to buy wine here and I had my toddler son with me. The cashier refused to sell me the wine bc my son was not 21. I thought it was a joke and I said don't worry he won't be drinking any wine. I asked to speak to the manager and they agreed they could not sell the wine to us and that I had to leave my child alone in the car and come back inside by myself if I wanted to make the purchase. F$ck this place. Not to get anyone in trouble but a different Kappy's location used to offer my son lollipops at the register. I'm a reasonable person who will not leave a toddler alone in a car or serve alcohol to a toddler. Will never give this place business again. read more

I've been a fan of the Medford Kappy's for a long time. Their selection is better than most packies, and their prices are great. But what's best about Kappy's is that there's always an expert who is willing to help me select something, find a specific item, and even special order something. The staff are always pleasant. They also reliably stock my favorite beer: Long Trail Vermont IPA. read more

Love coming to the Medford Kappys. Jimmy is very knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service and it is the reason why I shop at this location I come down all the way from New Hampshire to shop here because of the service that's provided to me One of the best liquor stores for store picks and award winning staff. read more

Best place around - you can find anything you need here! Was specifically looking for my favorite Slivovitz plum brandy, rare catch!!

Best whiskey selection in the area, and a super-helpful staff. Jimmy Williams is particularly terrific. He's smart, and delivers superb customer service, every time. You tell him what kind of whiskey you like, and he hand selects a variety for you to choose from. He knows his stuff, and he's fantastic with the customers. read more

Kappy's is the only place I get my alcohol. They have really great prices for reasonable sized bottles and cheaper than any other liquor store around here. They always have what I am looking for even when it's hard to find elsewhere. They are always fully stocked and have a huge selection of everything you are looking for. Can't find what you need, ask. Every employee here is super helpful... minus the experience I had with a male who answered the phone around Christmas time. But he was probably stressed out from being busy. read more

So I don't post reviews typically. But seeing some of the negative reviews just doesn't make sense. I'm a bourbon guy and now I guess can be considered someone who collects and enjoys. I don't flip bottles because I think bourbon should be enjoyed. When I first found out that Kappy's and Jimmy (Sprints Director) were creating a new club (1940 Barrel Society) I was intrigued. Wasn't quite sure what to expect as I hadn't been in a club like that before. After talking with Jimmy over the past few months, I've seen major progress in revamping the whisk(e)y selection. It's not just a single aisle, but and entire back wall of the store! It's also not just the same stuff you can find elsewhere. There are definitely some gems at the store. I feel like I've gotten to know Jimmy pretty well, enough for him to know what I would probably like. And you know something? He's right a lot of the time. Some of the 1940 Barrel Society's barrels have been fantastic. Can't speak for all of them as I haven't tried them all. They also aren't going for just the mass market brands either. I enjoy expanding both my collection and knowledge of different types and subtypes of whisk(e)y. The society also allows me to collect cards when I purchase some of the bottles that I can redeem for the opportunity to buy, what some may call, prized or allocated bottles. Can't say I've won just yet, but here's hoping. I'm realistic enough to know that I'm not going to win every time nor should I. Overall I'm pretty excited to see what the future has for both the selection and the 1940 Barrel Society. read more

I come down from NH specifically to go to Kappy's because of their bourbon selection and their staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've talked with both the liquor manager and the store manager, who are incredibly knowledgeable about the products they sell. I've seen big improvements in the bourbon program, especially with the introduction of the 1940 Barrel program. Updated: I got a call from the liquor manager after my visit who let me know that my concerns have quickly been addressed by company management. Great to know that they take customer service seriously! Thanks! read more

Kappy's Fine Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

A friend took us to Kappy's to buy alcohol for our weekend trip in Boston/Chelsea. I don't drink, but I still tagged along with my friends because I was in the car with them. As a former alcohol sipper, this place has a HUUUUUGE selection. Almost any type of brand I "looked for" I found. The prices were also reasonable prices depending on the size of the bottle you purchase. Like most liquor stores, they have security in here, so don't come in playing around. Buy what you want and get out. No need to horse around and act drunk before you even step foot outside the door. I say this, because I saw this happen inside. read more

I love entertaining at my house on the weekends so I have a fridge stocked with Henekeins, white russians, a variety of smirnoff ice's, coronas, and my favorite- lime-a rita's. Kappy's has the goods for a lot cheaper than other LQ stores. They always have some sort of alcohol or wine vendor giving out tasty samples of something that I usually end up buying. The staff is generally friendly and laid back ( I would be too if I work there & got to constantly use my 5 senses to interact with booze). The only downfall is sometimes only 2 registers are open and the line moves slower than a race between the turtle and the hare. read more

The beer guy at Kappy's told me that they stopped ordering Asahi in 1 liter cans b/c no one was asking for it. Idiot. I have been asking for it many times, but they usually tell me that it is sold out. Then I check the cooler before leaving and there are 15 cans on the top shelf behind some other stuff. Okay, I get 12 for a case (although they couldn't come up with a box) and they insisted to charge me the price for individual cans. It's not the money, but the principal. I won't go back until this guy gets fired. Atlas is closer anyway. read more

After being unable to go to my best friend's birthday outing for his 40th birthday I knew I had to make up for it somehow. I'm so happy that Kappy's isn't too far from my place of employment and their hours are late. My friend is a rather refined drinker, and he loves Scotch. I found a reasonably priced 17 year old (bottle) for him for his birthday/I'm sorry for being such a corny friend basket. Their aisles stretch far and wide and the other patrons were really helpful with helping me choose a bottle. There weren't too many associates available, but as I mentioned it was relatively late. Therefore, by and large, Kappy's is OK in my book. THANKS guys! read more

I was on the fence about this location over the years but can easily say that the shift in leadership and refocus on bourbon and product knowledge has made me a loyal customer. James specifically has been a huge help and someone I have learned a lot from when it comes to bourbon. I never thought I'd become a "regular" at a liquor store but he has made it feel like swinging by a friends house....where you happen to spend money. If you are looking for a great selection and a bit of an education make sure to check them out and ask for him. Cheers. read more

Awesome workers , Ducky is super helpful and all the others too can't remember their names from the top of my head , fantastic service been going here for a while! read more

I'm never disappointed when I go to Kappys Medford. John always has incredible knowledge about wines and he continues to impress me with his selections (he knows exactly what me and my fiance like!) James is extremely helpful when looking for spirit selections and can usually get some great, harder to find bottles. Tyler is also great when it comes to finding beer that not many stores have/carry. All of these employees (including the owner) are friendly and welcoming which is why I will continue to make Kappys my #1 store. read more

This place is heaven! They are always fully stocked and have everything you need. They have a huge selection of wine, beer, vodka, etc. I've never seen them out of anything. The checkout lines are fast and you can be in and out in minutes. read more

This place used to have the best selection. Now, not so much. I noticed the change when switched beer managers. If total wine can stock a good selection I don't why Kappys is unable to. read more

This place is always fully stocked with a huge selection of wine and beer and other alcohol. They are pretty knowledgeable about the selection they have. Prices are decent. Parking is ok only. The line can be long but the lines are always moving fast. read more

love this store! great location plenty of parking and pretty stocked inventory. Staff is always very helpful. Jimmy Williams always friendly and knowledgeable on the products . highly recommend this liquor store. read more

This was the only liquor store that had the best and widest selection of gift sets from labels I knew, immediate 5 stars. Prices are relatively competitive with Total Wine down the street. Their cash register system seems a bit outdated. Plenty of parking. Can't comment on staff but people were demanding cases of vodka for the holidays and many fingers were being pointed around... read more

From Hoegaarden to Tsing Tao, Dom to Fuki Sake, Kappy's has you covered. Plenty of parking, and one of the few places where you can actually recycle your beer cans and bottles (be prepared to wait in line to recycle on the weekends, however, as this seems to be a popular way to spend a Saturday). On one recent visit, a staff member went out of his way to help us choose the right Asian beer to go with the pad thai we were having for dinner. Too funny. But also very helpful - they definitely take alcohol seriously at Kappy's. read more

Who says size doesn't matter? Kappy's owns the trafficked corner of Route 16 and Route 28, attracting frazzled shoppers from the Gateway Center or commuters heading home to Malden. So, y'know, drinkers. Real drinkers. And boy howdy, will they be able to choose from a massive inventory of all things alcoholic! Local, domestic and imported beers, from singles, bombers and 40s to sixers, cases and kegs, there isn't a serving size of brew you can't pick up at Kappy's. Wine isn't a heavy focus, but their selection will appeal to most juicers. And there's the liquor. Every cordial, spirit and aperitif present and accounted for, although one would never accuse Kappy of being too independent or craft in their selection. Yes, this means a hefty section dedicated to 99 Bananas and Pinnacle Gummy Whatever. That said, the bourbon bottles are diverse enough to get an aficionado reaching for their tumbler. Pricewise, Kappy's kills it, knocking out - or keeping competitive with - most packies. Did I mention the tastings? All the time. read more

HUGE! CHEAP! PARKING! Be forwarned their parking lot does seems like the seventh circle of hell and someone might smash into your car since nobody knows how to drive around here. And their are some scary people around but who cares, you're buying booze! read more

Kappy's consistently has great customer service. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Their selection is huge!

Simply put: the most knowledgeable, biggest, and best selection to tie one on. The wine manager is the MAN. He knows his stuff and is super accommodating. The tastings they put on are super cool, too. Some of the cashiers look like they have sticks in their asses, or would rather gossip about how hot Scott Baio is. [or whoever the "it" guy is now] If you even live remotely close and need something [especially out of the ordinary], go to Kappy's. read more

Such a large selection of wine and beer. Love the local brews, that sometimes can be out of stock. Came here Fourth of July and they were out of the nightshift beer I wanted, but there were many other options. The staff is friendly and always willing to give suggestions. Some of their wines are 10% off if you purchase 6, for a wine lover like me, that's heaven on earth :) read more

This place is nestled deep in the butt crack of Wellington Circle so it's near impossible to get to. But if your navigation skills are up to par then it's definitely worth the trip. If you can't find the beer you're looking for at Kappy's then it doesn't exist. I bet winos would be equally impressed with the selection. My favorite part about Kappy's is the huge local brew selection. They have tons of beers from Night Shift, Slumbrew and some of the other smaller New England breweries. For supporting local crews and having one of the best beer selections I've ever seen, Kappy's gets 5 stars. read more

Went here during the quarantine as I have many times over the last 15 years of living a couple miles away. Filled up the carriage so we did not have to leave the house for beer and the such for a while. Got to the front of the line and they asked to card me and my wife. She didn't bring her purse, her bad. We are 44. I had my ID....the cashier called for the manager who started barking at me in a condescending tone and told me it was illegal to sell me anything even though I am of age and had my ID. He told me it was illegal. I left feeling confused, but took my business elsewhere. When I got home, looked up the law. It is illegal for anyone under age 21 to possess alcohol. However there are exceptions. One is possession in the presence of a consenting parent or guardian. Another is with their spouse who is 21 or older. A third is for adults as part of their employment. Pretty clear, that not only was the manager wrong , but also a complete jerk for treating us like criminals . I will never go back to any Kappy's. I'd rather pay more somewhere else or take a ride to total wine. Manager needs to learn he can't treat customers like crap and expect them to come back. Hi Joe, I sent the info you requested in your reply, but haven't heard a thing. Regard Kappys made a great gesture and through conversations with Joe, I will return. Moving to 3 stars. read more

I've been here several times over the years and while it's a PITA to get to, it works and it's relatively cheap vs smaller stores in the area. The parking lot might be a mess on a Friday or Saturday, and you may see the line and wonder if you should go for it, yup.. go for it. It moves pretty quick. When I've had question about finding a particular brand, I've been helped and I tend to be pretty laid back so, so far they work with my weird questions and can joke around. read more

Love this Kappy's...got my first ever bottle of Didier Dagueneau's Pur Sang...and you have to love the unexpected brutality implicit in a bottle like that from Pouilly-Fume. Yes, this Kappy's has what you need, and what you don't need, and a few other things that you didn't know existed. This is the Kappy's worth seeking out... read more

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Kappy's general Manager (Scott) regarding an unpleasant situation that took place a week ago. After meeting Scott, we talked about the situation and it appears that the situation was a misunderstand on my end. However, Scott understood my point of view and showed great appreciation for following with him on the matter- I have to say that I really enjoy going to Kappy's and always find what I need in there! Great selections, organized, and good prices on drinks. I love wine and so they always seems to have some great dicounts on my favorite wines! Well done Kappy's and Thank you Scoot for your time and understand today! Cashmir- read more

The mecca of liquor stores. This place is like a palace of liquor... As you drive up on it's glory, you see can the lit up letters emerge from beyond the trees... K... A... P... you get what i'm throwing down. The prices are better than most smaller liquor stores... and it's like shopping in a liquor warehouse... an enormous liquor superstore. I absolutely love Kappy's... in fact... I heart Kappy's. read more

Crazy to get to - but worth the effort! Had to pick up numerous specialty vodkas here and the selection is just incredible. Any booze you're looking for, this place will have it. Great selection of wines, speciality beers, crappy beers, liquors and mixers. You can't go wrong. Awesome - just awesome. read more
