A new note-their selection of mixers is far from great. They don't have stuff such as mojito mixer or whiskey sour mix. They seem to have a plethora of margarita mixers though but they should seriously branch out as they're a large place with lots of options (except for mixers). read more

My favorite liquor store! I used to live right next to it and now that I don't I still find myself coming here to get what I need. What I like is that they have an extensive variety of options for whatever type of liquor you're feeling like. Fridays there's usually a few vendors offering taste tests of different new products. I always have experienced a great service from the staff and they always been willing and able to answer any questions I may of had. read more

Parkview Wine & Spirits: After going to the huge package store in West Hartford, I kind of feel like a hypocrite for saying that the previous place was the best in the area or state. What one place possesses, lacks in other areas that the other business possesses and vice-versa. Parkview Wine & Spirits actually has a very extensive collection of beer. I mean from 4 packs, 6 packs, 12 packs and singles. They have so many kinds of crafts brews to please your palette. I bought a Vanilla Porter, Founder's Imperial Stout, and the Banana Bread Beer (this one is one of my comfort beers whenever I try to branch out to beers that I'm not familiar with. Every time I come here I am always overwhelmed. They seriously have every thing in terms of beer. Porters, Stouts, Ales, Pale Ales, Black Ales, Cherry porter, Rye IPA, Cherry Rye IPA, Chocolate Stout, Coffee Stout, Red Ale, Honey Lager, sorry but the list goes on. Meet Ash. What an awesome guy. He is nothing but a wealth of knowledge. He has tried almost all the beers that come in. He plays his cards right, ordering beer, and seeing which sells. Then he either keeps them on his rack or phases them out. But he is always acquiring the next best beer on his shelves. What I got to learn visiting this place today: 1.) If a beer bottle has a rubber or wooden wine cork on it, then the beer can have a shelf life of at least one year, meaning, that through time beer just tastes better. Just like wine. 2.) His experiences with marketing of companies and how well they thrived. 3.) The low down of certain breweries in Connecticut, and who is outsourcing their product. 4.) And other little tidbits that I wish I remembered but I was so overwhelmed. Come here for a variety, come here to be enlightened personally by the owner. read more

Great selections of bourbon and gin.Staff very helpful in making recommendations.I would recommend this liquor store without hesitation

stopped in with Anthony P, this is his local go-to package store .. and it is a pretty nice one for a beer drinker like me. Lots of stock, some harder to find things. Not a lot of singles from broken up sixes (i like to try lots of new beers and if i have to buy a 6 of everything i would have lots of beers i didn't like). Kinda funky setup, you enter in the rear. I always thought it was Liquor in the front? Anyways .. if you are over here and on the prowl for a decent place to get your alcohol, this is a good stop. Cheers! read more

Parkview Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

Hands down the best liquor store in the West Hartford area! Their selection and sales are unbeatable. The store itself is very large, imagine wall to wall liquor, wine and beer. They have a great selection of wine and the staff is very helpful and quick to recommend bottles based on your preferences. I had a conversation with one of the women who works there one day, and have continued to buy the bottle of Honora Vera that she recommended. Also, I told her how much of a bloody mary fan I am and she showed me a cold pressed, low-sodium, and natural tomato bloody mary mix that was produced locally in CT. It is tough to find a bloody mary mix that is not too high in sodium and this place has it! I highly recommend this store. read more

I'm no wine or beer expert in fact I don't even drink! But I do like the selection offered here. The staff is always friendly and eager to help when you appear to be wandering around. I like that they are not busy restocking to pay anything to you. This is one of the cleaner more organized liquor shops on Park. It seems they have everything and the prices are comparable to other places. We've stopped by for seasonal items in the past and they always seem to have whatever we are looking for. Stars for cleanliness and organization. Another plus because the sales associates don't look like drunks! read more

Parkview Wine & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

See all

This place is managed by a person who is so ignorant of good retail practices that despite their good selection he managed to drive me away forever. And I am blasting it to all my friends on social media. On a busy saturday, the store's computer system crashed as I was making a purchase. Not their fault, but I returned to the,store later and he told me "we are working on getting your money back" So I returned 3 business days later, and the unpleasant little man said "we are still trying" 9 days later an employee called me and said that they were still working on it! I was still out almost 50.00 and I had no merchandise and no refund! Even his own employee said to the manager "can't we just refund his money?" Manager refused. I notified my bank and the bbb and my bank refunded the money but both are investigating. It's not just this incident. The manager has always been unpleasant and wouldn't even special order wine! Do not patronize this place. It doesn't deserve it! read more

THIS IS THE COOLEST LIQUOR STORE IVE EVER BEEN TO. the people are SO funny and helpful. One girl will teach you how to make amazing drinks if you just tell her what you're feeling up for. Amazing things we bought at her recommendation: Pecan Whiskey (fantastmagorical), the orange flavored Petron liquor and some sort of creamy chocolate liquor that's just perfect when blended with the Pecan whiskey. Talk to the awesome girl with short hair and wicked cool style. These folks are the best and there's usually always some sort of tasting going on. Parking is out back! read more

Fantastic. This store has such an impressive selection, from beer (including gluten free and lots of exotic varieties you've never heard of), wine (including local and organic), and my favorite- booze. Vodka in particular. So many fun choices all around. Whether you prefer elitist beverages or cheap swill, you will find something you like. The prices are great, especially for West Hartford. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. For me, Parkview is an area favorite and where I most often shop for libations. read more

Never coming back to this liquor store again. Besides the fact that the prices are HIGHER than all other local liquor stores, the staff is incredibly rude. The woman working the cash register made a very rude and inappropriate comment to me, and all the while the manager didn't seem care! I will now only go to Harvest Wine and Spirits. They have high quality items and the staff is super knowledgeable and helpful! read more

Great selection and amazing staff! There are plenty of liquor stores close to me that I can go to but I'd much rather go out of the way to shop here. Walking in, you're immediately welcomed by a smiling staff who will go out of their way to make sure you're completely satisfied. I'm usually completely indecisive on what I want to order and they have an unbelievable amount of patience to walk me through all of the mixes that they enjoy. Even though I haven't had a problem finding the obscure flavors that I want, they will order in whatever your heart desires so that it will be in stock on your next visit. Great place, great service. I'll definitely keep coming back here. read more

This is definitely my favorite liquor store in the West Hartford area! There's plenty of liquor stores closer to me in distance, but I always make the trip to Parkview. The selection is fantastic. I can always, without a doubt, find what I'm looking for. Whether it be beer, liquor or wine, I can always find what I'm in the mood for. The staff is also awesome. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgable. They'll recognize you after you go there a couple of times. They give good recommendations. Plenty of parking. Convenient locations. Constant wine tasting. Awesome staff. Short list of why this place gets five stars from me! read more

I have been coming to Parkview for the past 5 years...I have tried others in the area, but none compare to the selection of wines and beers. Prices? forgetaboutit!! best in CT. I happen to be into the Tuscan Reds and the expertise the Staff has is amazing. Ash is the man- Great with all his customers...take some time to shop around, introduce yourself and ask questions read more

Place is a joke, owner remains rude and dismissive much better customer service elsewhere. Price are ridiculous and the owner is very rude shop elsewhere read more

Decent prices and a good selection of microbrews! Staff is also nice! Best prices in West Hartford I have found (with exception of Total Wine). read more

I went in today and they apparently had the price of a product mislabeled, unbeknownst to me. When I asked why it rang up higher than it should have, the cashier insisted that it was because of tax and deposit. Since I know how to do math, I explained to him that this wasn't the case. After a few minutes of fussing with a calculator and somehow managing to end up with the wrong number anyway, the guy begrudgingly gave me a refund. He tossed the money at me and said, "Here, take your pennies!" The difference in price was actually several dollars and it was on a single item. It was also for a product that the store is selling in an improper fashion. They're splitting 4 and 6 packs of hard to find beers apart and packaging them together for a higher price. It's not a mixed six pack or anything like that. They're repackaging the beer from the distributor and forcing customers to buy what they throw together. Not only that, but they're trying to charge a higher price than is displayed, and they're rude about it!!! Terrible, terrible business. Head to Harvest Wine and Spirits for a good package store in the area. read more

Great selection, but beer prices are $1.00-$2.00 higher on all 22oz and 4/6 packs than other area stores. They limit you to 1-2 cans/bottles rather than one 4/6 pack each of hard to find beers, which is opposite of what other local stores do. Seem you have to be "in" with someone to get the hard to find items. read more

Great selection and clearly the best prices in West Hartford. $12.99 for high quality seasonal variety 12 packs

This store is much larger than it appears from the outside! Excellent wine selection, ordered by style, region, and price. Liquors galore and a craft beer selection that would bring a tear to the eye of any beer aficionado. Off street parking located in the back of the store. read more

My husband and I stopped by Parkview to check out their beer selection. I am gluten-intolerant so always scoping out places that offer Gluten-Free beer besides the four or so top brands that I do not care for. Parkview has a great selection of GF beers (Omission Pale Ale is my favorite), but also some really unique ones such as a Dogfish Head strawberry sorghum-based beer, a Japanese rice beer, and an Estrella lager. Those were all new to me. The owner Ash (sp?) was so helpful and not pushy at all. He is very knowledgeable, even providing taste details about the various brews. My husband is a homebrewer and was very impressed with the selection of regular beers, and Ash's knowledge and helpfulness. I cannot wait to go back to try a new one after I drink these, and am really happy to support this store with such friendly and helpful owners and employees. read more

Friendly & hospitable with a huge selection don't let the outside fool you - grand inside! Been many times & Really nice staff. Most recent visit on 5/10/14 @ 6pm super sweet girl working ! read more

My first time coming here was great, the employee V checked me out and saw what i was purchasing and recommended another great bottle of wine, she was so polite and fun to chat with and full of knowledge of everything in the store. I didnt buy what she recommended at the time but the second time i went, i asked for her so i could try it, after a few minutes with her i got the bottle she first recommended and many more and i was a bit skeptic at first since im very picky with my wine BUT i got home and tried the Rosso she recommended and WOW its the best wine ive tried so faaar since i do have more to try that she recommended and she really knows her stuff. Very educated, super helpful, gives the best recommendations. I will always ask for her when i go there. V is the best! Thank you! read more

Happy to get out of work after a long week I wander into Parkview for a couple bottles of wine to celebrate the weekend. The staff on the floor is always friendly and helpful and the selections are good albeit a couple dollars more than the other 'big' package stores in the area. Still in a good mood I arrive at the register with my purchases where I recognize the owner/manager from previous visits and remember him as not the most customer friendly guy around. He rings up my order and when I tell him I think the total is a few dollars more than it should be he says 'it's tax'. I said wow, i didn't know we were paying twice the usual tax on a couple bottles now. Still unmoved and unresponsive, I again assert he is wrong so he leaves and brings back a little shelf tag with a higher price. When I show him where i got the bottle from, a display with a large pink sign - he says that is from last month (ok, but today is 7/28). He then adjusts the price, I pay and am on my way. No sorry for the mix-up, no thank you for coming in, just a look that says get out of my store. I have other choices and probably wont be coming back here. read more
