I knew they sold German 5 liter mini kegs. So I called to ask which ones (there are only like 6 available locally). Woman who answered told me to call back some other time. Next day I called at 9am. How busy can you be when you just opened? Same woman told me the same thing. Ok. Why list your phone number? Why even pick up the phone if you're not going to answer customers questions? read more

Very rude customer service!!! I called to ask about their hours and woman hung up on me , when my husband called and she told him - " you ask to many questions " and hung up on him also read more

Great store tight parking best to do your beverage shopping early!

As good as it gets for a beverage center in this area of Brooklyn. They have a wide selection and prices are standard. Very easy to access.

Terrible customer service! I called the store, and a woman answered the phone... I asked for a certain product...... First of all the tone in her of her voice with her reply was like she did not want to be bothered... Then she answers me with this "Ughhhh I don't know, and I'm all alone at the register so I can't go up and down the isles to look." Not professional at all, not even a I'm sorry etc........ All set with this place! read more

By far, the most random beer store I've ever seen in my life. Thrifty is located off Avenue U by Marine Park in an area that's mostly warehouses. It's a large beer store, with 5 deep aisles of beer and soft drinks. The usual suspects of craft beer are there (Left Hand, Dogfish Head, etc.) in 4/6 packs and cases. They don't do singles on those. However if you eastern European beers, you should go here. They have a lot of rarer German brands, in addition to plenty of Weihenstephaner and Scheider at very good prices. This definitely beats cruising around random delis in Russian areas to find things like Black Boss Porter and different Eisbocks. Service has been good albeit a bit slow when ringing people up occasionally. Pricing on beers can be really uneven though. I've seen some great deals (6 pack of Rodenbach for $12) and some overpricing of American craft beer. That makes shopping here a bit uneven. Still if you're nearby or explicitly seeking out the eastern European stuff, Thrifty works in a jiffy (see what I did there?). read more

You like beer, I like beer, it's obvious that everyone likes beer. So for us, beer lovers, there's only one place in the Marine Park area. Thrifty is my one stop shop for beer and beverages, and has been for a long time. Great selection of domestic and imported brews. All the major brands you'd expect and many small batch, craft brews that you probably wouldn't. They also have soft drinks and snacks so it's great if you are getting supplies for a party or a cookout. Prices aren't bad and If on a budget, they always have specials and sales. No need to go elsewhere, if you need some beer, go to Thrifty. read more

Im a craft beer fanatic, but I can drink an 18 pack of bud too. I love their expanding selection and pricing. a rare gem to find in south brooklyn. Good customer service. Always friendly and courteous. Some actually have a good knowledge of craft beer! Stocked my fridge with craft beer, and bought a few 36 packs for a party... all in one shot. SWEET! read more

Growing up, this was my local beverage center. As the beer drinking public has switched from Macrobrews to Craft, Thrifty has been somewhat slow to fully embrace the change. You can find somr Founders, Alagash, Ommegang, Schafly, Left Hand and Brooklyn Brewery's selections, but not the truly high-end brews. I wouldn't expect to find a Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA or a Founders KBS anytime soon. Nothing but Macrobrews in the limited refrigerators. One plus, they carry Baltika Russian Imperial. read more

Prices are ok. I wouldn't call them Thrifty. Selection is good. Aisles of small kegs, beers, juice, seltzer, sodas etc. Easy to stock up if you have a car and easy parking. They have some super cheap beer, brands you probably have never heard of. Be scared. Or try. Your liver, your choice. read more

I got to say this place never disappoints. I've come here for all sorts of beers and 99.9% of the time they had it. To top it all off what made me give them 5 stars is the fact they carry KCCO beer. This is the only place in Brooklyn I know of that has it. The smoothest black lager I've ever tried. The owner is also an awesome guy. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Thrifty Beverage Center - KCCO Black Lager - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pretty good selection. They got your standard craft beers as well as a pretty good international section. Especially great if you like European beers. This is where I come when I'm missing Prague. The prices are generally good. Even if you aren't too particular about your beer, buying cases of anything AB InBev here is way cheaper than at the bodega. Oh, they also sell non-alcoholic beverages in bulk, like soda and water but I don't come here for that. They got parking, so load em up. read more

Thrifty's... The locale beverage center... I also label this place as an Alcoholic's version of Toy's R Us. No remarks on Thrifty's except the following... Drinks: Beverages are available in mass quantities, with such items as soda, beer, and water. Prices: Extremely competitive and favorable. It's best to shop Thrifty's on a quantity basis and use over time. Food: Various party snack foods ranging from Chips & Dip are also available for purchase. Customer Service: Always friendly! On numerous occasions, I've been asked if I needed assistance with locating / finding a beverage or required help carrying the item to the care. On one occasion, the staff contacted their sales office to inform me of when a particular beer would be available in the store. Parking: 4 to 5 spots in front of the store. There's additional metered parking around the corner. Needless to say, you'll find be spending a lot of money here. But it's all for good use. read more

This beer distributer is good and is slowly catching on to the craft beer scene, but it has taken them a while to catch on. I will say they have a pretty good selection of domestic beers though. read more

The lady that works here is rudw and very unprofessional. Ive seen her yell at employees and customers. The prices here are adequate butvthe unfriendly atmosphere and the female work whom belittles the mexixan workers and a hispanic customer will keep me out of here for good read more

The cashiers have terrible attitude; as though they don't want to be there. They don't look at the customer; they acted as though they were doing me a favor when I asked for a case of soda. While the cashier was counting out my change she faced the window & never looked at me; I noticed she did this with all the customers. Very uncomfortable shopping there. Shame; cause I would have given 5 stars due to a great selection! Honestly I've never seen such negativity like this in my entire life! read more

It a very nice place to buy beer and soda and chips etc..... Workers are very nice as well

A great selection of booze and snacks for parties and holidays where you need all that beer (which according to the traffic they generate, even Arbor Day qualifies), but I am not sure exactly where the savings are, as they seem about par, maybe a little less. Likely, savings add up in volume when you're straining the shocks on your SUV with an entire palette of manly Bud, not my nerdish 4 pack of Stewarts birch beer. Hey at least you can dump off your empties for the deposit back without waiting outside supermarkets with those broken down machines. They also frequently have reps (20 year olds in shortshorts and micro t's) with tables and samples for some new 21 and older beverage. read more

I just called this place twice. The first time I asked if they had McKenzie's Hard cider. The lady on the phone said, "yup" and hung up. I called back to see if they had the seasonal, and she said, "I dont know, come down here and look in the aisle yourself" and HUNG UP AGAIN. Rude! read more

Thriftey has a great selection and good sales at times, but I am really tired of getting skunk beer especially Coors and Bud products from the fridge. I have had better luck with warm selections but still end up with skunk beer often from this place. I find Rite Aid to have better prices and fresh beer. read more

Staff is funny & friendly, very good selection & prices. I enjoy shopping here.....

This place is the best. Look for deals on different beers. Expand your horizon. Try a different beer on special. I get my standard weekly 30 pack but mix in a nice 6 or 12 special ones. Great people working on front of counter and behind. Been a customer since 2003. read more

Great Great Great selection! Also great if you're just looking to fill up on domestic beer as filler for a party because prices are so cheap. park right in front. I take 1 star away because i feel a great beer store should have a growler fill up. read more

Love this place. The staff is always helpfull and amazing. Cheap beer and good people. Only downside is the customers can be real tools. (fighting for parking spots,spots on line) read more

This is the spot to go! Seriously - prices on beer here are beyond amazing. Bonus points because they have some "exotics" - any place that sells Tripel Karmeliet is a winner in my book! read more

Great prices and a good selection of beers. This is the go-to spot for beers when you have to prepare for parties or BBQs.

You LIED!!!! was told come in SB sunday buy case of bud lite get a football first come basis. At 0930 SB sunday i was DENIED and was told they were for regular customers. There are other centers closer to my home but have visited thrifty several times. I guess you dont know people or a business untill they keep or don't keep their word. keeping your word would attract customers i would think! NOt worth going out of your way for.And could care less about a football but do care about the places shop and how i'm treated. I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! and if just one person doesn't go after reading this iv'e done my job by TELLING THE TRUTH. read more

I wrote a negative review on here a few months ago but I'd thought I'd give this place another try. It's getting worse! They wouldn't take our bottles one day because they were closing early... What type of business is that??!! I asked another worker and he or she claimed they were "short-staffed." Ridiculous! Have somebody else do it. And, get your story straight! Worst of all is the attitude of the cashiers. Horrible customer service! I'm reluctant to talk or ask them anything. So uncomfortable. Especially the stout one with the short black hair. If you don't like your job, please leave! Needless to say I am never going back there. They just lost a loyal customer! read more

I would give this place 5 stars,but because the parking lot is way too small and spaces too narrow you might have to lug your stuff half a block or more away...I avoid the place on weekends in the morning ,Now I go there in the middle of the week its way less crowded and easier to deal with... read more

Decent selection, prices are OK. One of the cashiers is extremely rude, but to be fair she was drunk.

By far the most organized , cleanest beer distributor that you will ever find . Great selection ...well run organization.

This place is great! I love the prices, and everyone is so helpful. I like that you can find practically everything you want there. There's a small parking lot as well. read more

After recycling a few soda cans at the redemption center next door, which I must say that the gentleman that works there is always pleasant, I went next door to both purchase a few bottles of beer, as well as redeem my payment for recycling. So after purchasing my items, I had asked for the paper back from the redemption center. The older cashier lady refused. I wanted the paper back so that I could simply recycle it. But instead she was as nasty as can be. The words that came out of of her mouth were absolutely disgusting, all because I made a simple request so that I can help the environment. I really have no more words to say. I do want to say that I will never step foot in this store again for the disgusting treatment that I was given. read more

Terribly rude staff especially the old lady behind the counter , feels like they are trying hard to loose the customers and business never again , I'll take my business somewhere else read more
