Crazy Bruce's was near and prices dear. We suited up in mask and used our hands as blinders so not to be over tempted. Kahlúa was our only target. At least, that was the front I exhibited. Inside, I hoped to find a new replenishment of Scotch Whiskey or a new Craft Ale. We browsed slightly, prices tempting, but we (she) stayed firm on our objective. Of course, it's almost on the back corner and rows of wine and every hard liquor and beer imaginable. We grabbed our beloved Kahlúa only (with a tear welling up). Another day, "Bruce the Crazy," we will be back to fully replenish.

I walked in to check out the craft beer selection. They had some things that I like such as Sip of…read moreSunshine and Dogfish, but the selection of craft beer was not broad as some of the shops I visit. The selection of non-craft beer seemed typical. I wasn't in the market for wine or hard alcohol, but the store was fairly large and it looked like they must have had a decent selection of that.

The Silas Deane Highway is home to several (and I mean several) liquor stores. The problem is that…read more(1) the majority of them sell your standard mass produced wine and beer; (2) the owners have both a limited knowledge of their product and (3) they are unwilling to venture out and carry a larger selection local (state/region) wine, beer and spirits. I will admit to patronizing several of them, but my search for a local liquor store as ceased with the discovery (and more frequent patronization) of Townline Discount Wines & Liquors, which surpasses them all. Yes, they carry a wide range of mass produced wine, beer, and spirits but they also carry some unique selections, all at competitive prices. They also have a good selection of local, craft and small batch beer (which I appreciate more and more). In addition to the selection, they get high marks from me for their customer service. The owners have always been very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, even going as far as to offer to purchase a varietal of wine not on their shelves. Now that's customer service!

The owner is super nice and friendly, and made excellent suggestions to us. They have wine in there that I've never even heard of, which is a super good and awesome sign. I can't believe we've lived 5 mins down the road from here for the last 2.5 years and never thought to check it out. If you want Scottish or Irish whiskey that you can't find in other places, def come here, chances are they actually have it. I also bought an amazing $80 huge bottle of Kentucky bourbon, and it's one of the best bourbon's I've ever had. If you're in the Rocky Hill/Wethersfield area, you def need to come here, because they have something for everyone.

WOW OH WOW. psychotic is the best adjective for my experience here…read more first, some background. in Feb 2021 i was hunting for Bandol with some age on it and found a decent bottle here. I placed an order over the phone and picked it up. fine experience, and i thought the selection was nice; made a note to return when in the area. obviously the other big background we all know is that Covid is still a big deal so i try very hard to give everyone more than 6' of personal room, and expect the same, especially from staff. i wear mask always when in shops and downtown areas. this past 1st weekend of April, i found another bottle on their site i wanted and decided to stop in. it was midday on Friday, four men are inside, none seem to be shopping, but none greet me. i recognize one as the man who was there last time and he's the shortest one so we'll call him Shorty. not seeing the bottle i sought, i caught attention of one of the men and asked: 'are you shopping or do you work here?' he didn't really reply so much as throw up his hands and look confused, but then Shorty yelled from the front, 'i can help you, sir' and rushed back. He immediately got within 6' of me. i began backing up, and he kept up with me until i said, 'could i please have 6' of space'. this seemed to irritate him, but he went to look for the bottle. i wanted to check out their Loire chenin, and once the aisle was clear i went in. after a few moments of browsing i go to leave and see that one of the men is standing at the end of aisle to my right. just standing there. ok... i turn left. another man is standing at that end of the aisle too. again, just standing there. there is no room to get out. then, i notice that the other two employees are in the aisles above and below my aisle. so in a (est.) 40' x 25' space, EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE is within approx. 6' and i have no where to go. i'm a little frustrated, but i stay calm and say, 'guys, i need some more space please. i can't leave the aisle right now. could i get some more space please?' the wardens at the end of the aisle move, but Shorty screams, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' (the sir is dripping with disdain in his tone.) i turn and say, 'Why are you yelling at me? I understand business; I just wanted space." he repeats: ''WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' 'do you always scream at customers? do you think i want to shop here now?' he's a broken record, 'WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS HERE, SIR.' he is incredibly hostile, irrationally so. meanwhile, none of the other employees seem to think this inappropriate. i will admit, i lost my cool here and crossed a line. i told him to go fuck himself. to this another employee says, 'well now we're not going to sell you anything'. my reply, 'fuck all of you too; i do not want to shop here!' i am sorry that i swore at you all, but the outright disrespect and hostility i encountered pushed me over the edge. BUYER BEWARE. STAY AWAY.

As far as liquor stores go, i think it's safe to say as long as they have the essentials and it's…read moreclean you pretty much have your bases covered. What made this one stand out to me though is that it had exactly what I was looking for. I had been searching for a specific rum all over CT now that not even total wine had (and they have everything) so I was pleasantly surprised when i found it. Even more so by how friendly the guy behind the counter was, he said if there was anything I ever wanted all I had to do was ask and he could get it for me, and that is exactly the type of customer service you can expect at this place. The layout itself is really nice, very well kept and clean, if you need cash theres an atm, and theres a bag policy too so make sure not to bring in a big bag unless you want to leave it at the counter. There's also a website and app for added convenience, and they host events sometimes too. Truly a one stop shop for all your liquor needs, specialty or otherwise.
