Cellar is a genuinely fantastic liquor store. Period. The place is small, cozy, but the selection never fails to impress. There are seriously, seriously good beer selections that rotate (because they always try to get limited-run, rare stuff - and it runs out) and awesome wine stocked too. Ask Mike (look for the beard) for a recommendation and watch his face light up while he asks you your preferences and tailors his response. His knowledge is encyclopedic and his enthusiasm is infectious. He really makes the place special. Hard to reconcile these other reviews calling the place pretentious. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

A cozy store with a wonderful variety and selection of wines (and a respectable assortment of beer and liquor to boot). What makes this place so special compared to other alternatives? Michael. Michael is simply a genius when it comes to wine and the insights that he shares with his customers are fascinating and incredibly helpful. I've walked away each time with a greater appreciation and understanding of wine in general, and have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. This has quickly become my "go-to" store and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgable as Michael. Importantly, you'll walk out knowing you made a quality purchase without having exceeded your budget, and that's always a recipe for success. Go, and ask for Michael - you won't regret it. read more

The owner asked for my preferences and recommended me a bottle that I did not think would be good. It turned out delicious. I wish there were more Japanese wines. read more

Dear The Cellar Wine and Spirits, I mean, you are alright, pretty pretentious, but fine in a pinch. I don't understand why people think your prices are reasonable, because I've priced checked and wine here is a few bucks more than places like the Wine and Cheese Cask. I feel lectured by one of your employees on the regular. Your prices are also on the back of the wine bottles and I was once told by said employee to please turn the bottles back around once looked at a few because I can't spend more than 25 bucks on a bottle of wine (like most people I know). Really? Did you really do that? Isn't that your job? Thanks anyway, Regina read more

This is my neighborhood liquor store and I could not be happier having them a hop, skip, jump, and a jaywalk away. Whether it's buying kosher wine on the way to a friend's Passover seder (many to choose from), or picking up 2 more 6-packs as a party at my place is underway, I've been glad to have them so close. One time I wanted a particular brand of scotch that they did not carry it but I knew that it would be a gamble at a store of this size. Selection is reasonable and so are the prices, as far as I can tell. And keep that Discover or Amex for other occasions - this joint is Visa and Mastercard only. read more

This place dresses itself up like it'll have great finds and fancy things. Except I went here looking for a certain nice liquor and I was pretty much told to go to a bigger liquor store. The dude said flat out, "We get a lot of college students looking for bacardi, so that's what we have." Lame. read more

Closed? Far from it - it's open, and fantastic! Staff member with beard = wine genius, and this establishment boasts a knock-it-out-of-the-park selection. Liquor stores seem a dime a dozen, but it's an immensely better decision to shop here than most other places - by a landslide. BUY YOUR SPIRITS HERE. read more

The Cellar is 6 steps from my bus stop and a block from home and that's how I'm becoming an alcoholic. It's a small store so the selection is limited but there's enough variety that I usually find something new and interesting to take home every week along with my favorite Tuscan red. The employees are friendly and helpful, and the political guy in particular knows his stock and knows what's good. On a few occasions he's sent me to other nearby liquor stores for higher quality bottles or things the Cellar doesn't carry, and his port recommendation ("don't drink any of these") may have saved a friendship. read more

terrible selection not even a decent bottle of sauvignon blanc same for classic red grapes, really poor selection read more

The location is convenient if you have errands in the area. However, I wouldn't go here for a casual bottle for a night with friends. Hard to tell what items cost (not everything marked) and a bit too pretentious for my taste. Save it for the special evening or celebration. read more

I have found great wines here. I'm pretty picky about my wine and I've never been lead time a bad wine when I buy here

Great service: the man running the counter actually stepped out from behind the counter and showed me the store's offerings. It was the ideal wine shopping experience. He even introduces me to a new grape, a wine I would have been afraid to try, and it was excellent! Cheap too!! Awesome selection and service. read more

Hey everyone, this place is actually still open, and a great place to go for all of your imbibing needs! The staff is knowledgable and very helpful. Whether looking for a quick bottle to go with dinner, or you have a specific need or question, you'll be all set here! read more

I shop here because of one person who works there and more importantly his never ending quest to get the best beer. He is the ultimate beer connoisseur. He's the guy with the beard, I can't remember his name. Not once has he pointed me in the wrong direction. Super helpful and I always look forward to his chats and new selection of beers. I always leave there with stuff I cannot get anywhere else. Bravo. read more

This place is amazing -- worlds better than the uninspiring selections at Supreme or Libby's nearby in central. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who clearly care and put a lot of consideration into curating their selection. Don't forget to ask for suggestions, they will set you up right. Thanks guys! read more

Unbelievable selection and knowledge of craft beers from these guys... ask for Mike. He's as good as it gets when it comes to the stuff. Dropped in on a whim, and was extremely impressed. read more

I don't go here unless I absolutely have to because of the incredibly unprofessional and insulting clerk who works there. The selection and prices at the store are fine, but in my experience the guy who works there is boorish, condescending, judgmental and it's just not worth enduring him to shop there. In the times I've come in, I have heard him criticize customer's purchases to their face, give unsolicited condescending commentary on customer's knowledge or lack of knowledge of alcohol and I've even seen him ask customers to leave if he didn't like the way they looked. Now there may be other clerks who work there who are good, but I've tried shopping there 5-6 times over the last year or so and he's the only one I've ever seen. So unfortunately while that guy works there and is trying to be a petty liquor store tyrant I really can't recommend this place. read more

I stumbled across Cellar Wine last week with friend, and was pleasantly surprised by their selection and service. Their staff was friendly and eager to give recommendations, their selection was small, but of quality, and their cheese selection was diverse and interesting. They also have interesting sandwiches and snacks based around the cheeses that they offer. I'll be back soon for more! read more

Wonderful shop with interesting, affordable selection and knowledgable staff! Please go- it is definitely still open!!!

they're definitely still open! good beer and wine selection; friendly staff.

The bar and restaurant are decent for a drink and a snack. But STAY AWAY from the liquor store. The clerk that works there is belligerent and condescending to customers. Often times on a weekend evening he is drunk, calls you names and refuses to sell you alcohol if you don't agree with his opinions. I have never seen such unprofessionalism and bad customer service from a liquor store before, especially given that this place is not cheap. If you are a local, do yourself a favor and go down the street to Dana Hill Liquors (literally a block away, good alcohol selection, cheaper and friendlier). read more

So knowledge about wines! Amazing. Can help u pick any wine. Prices are very reasonable too. Awesome experience.
