I cannot believe how fantastic the customer service is at this liquor store, and I wish other…read morestores (of all types) would get on board! It feels nostalgic, even: They're friendly & polite, ask if I need help finding anything (especially if I look lost or confused), have been extremely knowledgeable any time I've asked for a recommendation, and just yesterday surprised me when they even offered to gift wrap any of the liquor if I needed it. They put the bottle in a silver bag and tied it off with ribbons after offering me my choice from the colors available. Remarkable. Another level of service that is rare to find anymore. I stopped by this store for the first time about 8 months ago, and now I try to only shop here. I'd highly recommend them.

Nice quiet mom and pop package store. Decent selection of beer and wine. Seemingly had a nice…read morespirit selection and will return to take a closer look. The charm of the store is the location and the overall local vibe. There was a nice wine tasting on property when I went in to grab some weekend adult beverages and the lady was super friendly and informative (almost got me to purchase a bottle). Had I not had planned beverages I would have sprung for a bottle of red. Can't go wrong with a nice bottle of dry red. All in all a very pleasant purchase. Between the vibe, selection, and interaction with what I believe to be ownership at check out, I would recommend a visit for all your adult beverage needs!! Cheers to the weekend!!

We found a reliable amount of cold beer and cider, and an impressive amount of chilled wine (and…read moreroom temp beer and wine of course), plus some local beer and wine offerings to extend the range of our small-town vacation. Since our little one was patient with us, the kind clerk gave her a lollipop when we left. Carmine's isn't large as Total Wine or CBM but isn't exactly a shoe box either, and seemed well-stocked for its size. Perfect!

Liquor is liquor, so I have no problem with the alcohol sold here. I am fairly new to the area and…read moresince this liquor store is closest by far, I have gone to it a few times. The reason for my one-star rating is due to the lack of customer service and the odd acting employees as you shop and checkout. While standing in line it seems as though I am in a horror movie. The four or so employees give bad looks and it seems like it is because they are not used to and do not like strangers. Cheer up, people; we are not cattle. Someday you may have a competitive store pop up and force you to act nice.

Like all package stores in Connecticut, they became "necessities" after Covid. Which gave them the permission to treat their customers however they felt. We are -promised income- to them so they can do and charge whatever they want. They have roaches in their store, not surprised between George Washington Carver and the crazy folks home behind the store they found a highway to spread. Ask them to turn the lights off for five minutes and see how many roaches are caught off guard. The prices change daily with your commitment to their store. They play games with the prices to see if you are paying attention. Trust me, PAY ATTENTION. they refuse to clean their store and also do not keep up with expired items in the non-alcoholic cooler. When you do speak up against wrongful treatment, they ask you to leave. The fact that they don't kick you out, because they want your money tomorrow is a great example of their corruption. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this garbage can. There are extremely cleaner stores the exact distance in both directions from this store. Also, Wine Merchant on broad St opens at 8am as well to the alcoholics!. (Both buildings are very infested with bed bugs- BE CAREFUL!)-

I've lived in New London for many years so I've been familiar with the staff changes over time at…read morethis store. I hadn't been there in a while and stopped by en route to running errands etc. Walked in, spoke to the cashier and got a stone face in reply. "Ok" I said to myself. In comparison to the former owner he leaves much to be desired. The former owner, who was also the manager, was always pleasant and helpful. This person, never. This person has never been what I call "cordial", ever. I also don't see other employees so it appears this place is another one of those establishments run solo. Anyway, I'm good patronizing a place that appreciates my business with a friendly demeanor. I miss the former owner and his lovely employees.
