I initially came to this store on my way home from Whole Foods and chose it because it had better yelp reviews than the store closer to my building. At first I assumed it was just because they had more reasonable prices but after going I realized they also have Amazing Service! It's so refreshing and rare to experience great service so I had to write a review, which I haven't done in years. The man at the front was incredibly nice and helpful. I went in and was looking for a budget friendly bottle of wine, he came to help asking what I was looking for and helped me decide on a bottle. This was not a top shelf huge margin bottle by any means either, he understood what I was looking for and matched that need. After purchasing the bottle, at a reasonable price, I walked one block and came back in because I realized I didn't have a cork screw at home. I was just going to buy one and the amazing man at the front gave me a sponsored one from the back for free and showed me how to use it, i don't drink wine often. I'll definitely be coming back and it makes complete sense why their ratings exceed that of peers. read more

I've been delinquent in writing a review for this store, and for that I sincerely apologize, Odyssey Wine & Spirits. I love you guys! Pre-pandemic, I was a regular here for their weekly wine tastings and got to experience some delicious wines, especially during their Veuve Clicquot tasting (mmmm). I still stop by when I'm in the area and in need of wine, but it's not quite the same without those tastings. They really brought the community together, and in this dead zone of Port Authority/not-quite-Hudson-Yards, that's saying something. The staff are always nice to me, and the selection/prices are great. Many wine regions are represented--not just European--and I've been able to find some great South American labels. read more

I've been to so many wine stores around the city and around this area and I have to say this is the best one. They have reasonably priced drinks as well as very friendly staff and great options. On Friday and Saturday night they do a tasting which is completely free and you get to sample some really great and unique wines or even liquor. The owner and staff are extremely nice and very friendly - many of the times I'm not exactly sure what to get and they will walk me through what my options are and what I would probably like based on my preferences read more

There is a real shortage of good wine and liquor stores in Hudson Yards. Maybe in a few years when all the construction is done, but for now the pickings are slim. However, Odyssey is a shining light in the booze darkness. They are super nice and helpful. They deliver quickly as well. They have a great alcohol selection as I am a big bourbon and tequila fan. They also have a very good wine selection. From a bourbon perspective, there is a lot to choose from and the prices are very good. For those reasons, I buy all of my alcohol here. read more

Amazing service and selection of wines, champagne and spirits. Emil is absolutely amazing and his staff are wonderful. Pet friendly, my puppy Lola loves to visit. read more

Found this place when I needed something close to the office to purchase a quality gift for an executive. And man oh man did they pull through. Asked for qualities and age of the executive to help guide the selection process, took my notes and shifted seamlessly as we went along, was honest, didn't try to price gouge, and really worked for that frugal though fulfilling aspect. I was equally please when they tried to help me with my personal liquor shopping, but left me be when I said, "I know my liquors :-)", and still kept things fun yet professional. Great personality, knowledgeable, fun, cool, great selection of wines and liquors, friendly, courteous, generous. I'm a new fan! read more

Great shop and the people who work here are very friendly. Very knowledgable and from the 2 times they recommended about wines, i enjoyed good wines. But one more thing about this store is that you don't just come here to buy wine. You also listen to stories about the wines, how they were made, and where they come from. And I don't know if that is just me, but after getting a good story the wine become better ;) Price range: they have everything. From the cheapest wines to the luxuries bottles. The bottom line, this is what I expect to get when I come to buy wine. read more

New liquor store just opened up on 10th ave, right next door to Duane Reade! The place is nice, clean, and spacious. They just opened up this past week! The alcohol prices are fair-I see the same prices from Trader Joe's, as well as some others-a 750mL bottle of soju is $10 (a tiny bottle is $8 at Woorijip), $12 for a champagne moscato bottle, chilled...$18 for the 750mL bacardi...etc etc. There's tons of bottles and names to choose from. They also have a section for tiny bottles that include 1-4 shots for about $3-8...which is cheaper than getting drinks at an outside venue! Big plus-they are puppy friendly! They all know my pup and spoil him with treats :) Love it! read more

There's this guy with cap behind counter has been very rude to us. After we checked out, he didnt give us a bag or receipt. After my gf made the request asking "can i have a bag?" He literally rolled his eyes and stared at her. Maybe this dude had a bad day but we would never go that store again read more

Before covid, my hubby and I went here (almost) every week for the wine tastings (held on Thursday to Saturday). They had excellent wines for very reasonable prices. That's what I miss the most about this place. Obviously there hasn't been any wine tastings since covid, but we still go there. Hope they bring it back somehow. They have a wide selection. They have sake and umeshu though not a huge selection, but sufficient for us! read more

my favorite liquor store in the area. It's pretty huge for NYC standards. High ceilings and they have a good variety of stuff. Check out the fancy stuff that's locked up in the case for some unique items and gifts to impress. They may seem more pricey because it's in Manhattan, but compared to the other shops in the area, their prices are competitive and actually cheaper in many instances. They are dog friendly too. read more

I stopped in here the other day to get a feel for the store, since I just moved down to this part of town. The Pro's: - A decent selection of wine. - Friendly staff. - Comparable prices for MOST bottles. The Con's: - Cavernous feel. - Some bottles are a tad more expensive than some of the other local shops. read more

The place has its ups.. employees with great knowledge helps to really find what u looking for..the place is nice and spacious and great selections of wines and spirits..comparing prices it's on the money most places over price because of the area where is located.. odyssey prices are exceptional can't complain about the prices or service.. and the place looks great.... read more

See all

The Check person was very rude and terrible and rude, What's wrong with a bag after I paid for the wine ？Please learn how to do your job well! And learn how to be friendly to the costumers? read more

Purchased 5 bottles on-line. Went to pick it up and they gave me a box. I was on a scooter so I asked for a bag. They said they didn't have bags. So I asked if they would deliver it. They said they can't now deliver it. You'd think they'd try to be helpful to customers making a big purchase. They did promptly refund my money, which I appreciate. I strongly recommend Amster Wine on 37th and 9th. Much better place. read more

Great wine shop and that's coming from a "seasoned" pro - 15 years experience in the wine biz in NYC! Excellent and comprehensive selection and the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful in making selections - 5 star service! As a wine business professional with years of experience running retail shops in NY - I'm happy to shop here anytime! read more

They have a wide variety of American and European wines, frequent wine tasting and friendly atmosphere. The prices are not too high, especially for Manhattan. read more

I stopped in to buy a bottle or Rose for a friend but was pleasantly surprised with a wine tasting. After tasting the staff helped me to locate and pick out a really great bottle of wine. I felt like the gentleman who helped me really wanted to help and didn't do it because he had to. I'll be back! read more

Good store, good selection. Better than normal NYC prices.

Nice store but when I tried to make a $350 purchase and asked to put 100 on a gift card and the rest on my debit card they said I could only use one card. The guy helping me was nice but when he asked the manager the manager was short and abrasive. Live a block a way and will walk further for better service. Not shopping at this location again. Keep walking read more

This place is amazing! I recently moved into the building that houses this establishment and they deliver. I ordered two bottles and 10 minutes later they arrived! When I called the representative was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. I was really happy with the service, selection and delivery time. My new go to wine store ! read more

Had to stop by this place on the way to my friends 4th of July housewarming. Very clean inside with really spacious aisles. Workers inside were friendly but not overbearing. It made me really wish I had a store like this in my neighborhood. read more

Best wine store in nyc. Educated and not pushy wine experts help you find the right wine to match your food and budget! Love this place and everyone who works there! read more

Excellent neighborhood "packy" as we call it in Boston with a good selection of wine and vodka. What I really give them 5 stars for is the excellent and hassle-free phone skills and lightning-fast delivery. Awesome when you're hosting a party or getting hammered by yourself at home. read more

Wine price seems on average for most Manhattan places with an average bottle price of 10 and higher. Maybe there are a few between $8-10. We bought a bottle and either it had gone bad or it tasted bad, either way, we returned it w/ receipt and they politely let us exchange it. Good selection, too. read more

All the necessities frequent tastings as well. Solid wine selection as well as specials to choose from.

This is my go to store for all things booze related. A great selection of wines and whisky, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

I find the staff very friendly and helpful. Also their prices are the lowest in the neighborhood. I only wish they stayed open later on especially on Saturday. What liquor store closes at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday? read more

Very helpful staff and great prices. Used Yelp to guide me where to go and was not disappointed.

This place is awesome! I've been there several times and each time they would ask me what I was looking for and then found the best wine that fits my criteria. They won't try to sell u the expensive items but always something fits ur needs. I am going to try their wine tasting tonight :) should be fun! read more

Best wine store in the city. Friendly staff and manager! Service is excellent and they have a great wine selection at reasonable prices

I love this place! Very reasonable prices and a wonderful selection of wines and well priced vodka. Ordering online is simple and it shows up at your door in virtually no time. read more

Came here after a long day at comic con to check out some wine... I wish I know what kind of wine I enjoy to make this whole wine store shopping much easier...but I don't...so I was greeted with smiles and hellos when I frist walked in and saw many different types of samples to try... I got was thrilled to try out the stuff they have to offer...Sadly I didn't like any of the samples... Was kinda disappointed...I thought to myself maybe I'm just not a wine person... I ask the owner on type of wine would you recommend with a person that has my taste buds...he didn't really help or guild me ...just told me to look at the section that has sweet and savory wines...um how do I know which is which.. Even though I'm not a wine person I for sure know that all wine taste different...the service in the beginning was nice at the end kinda sucked...but the large variety of alcohols and the neatness in the area is defiantly spot on...the decor is pretty nice as well... read more

Great selection of Spanish wines, good prices, nice staff recommendations. Location a bit out of the way but worth the trip.

Overall, this place is great. I live above the building and every time I visit the people working there are friendly, helpful and informative. Except for one employee who manages to make patrons feel unwelcome whenever he's present. Not only is he uninterested in customer service but, he's flat out rude. I've entered the store on a snowy day and slipped, frankly the result of the icy sidewalk outside the store, and this guy saw what happened, smirked and walked away. And that's just one of several instances in which he's behaved inappropriately. At this point, I go elsewhere when I see this particular employee working. I'd rather walk to a further location versus deal with his hateful attitude. I hope management addresses this issue since it's unfortunate that one person ruins the overall review of the store. read more

This place is fantastic. Excellent selection and more importantly, a wonderful staff, particularly Emil, one of the managers. Emil knows his wine and is always friendly and willing to help you out. They also have great complimentary tastings 2-3 times a week. So glad this place is right next door to me, I'll never go anywhere else. read more
