Been going there for years. They have a terrific selection of wines and spirits and the best prices in town. Though huge, the store is nicely organized and staff is helpful without being obnoxiously so. Free delivery, too. read more

Not much to say here, I've been coming downtown to this spot for over 20 years because I've yet to find better prices. There's a pleasant gentleman at the register who's been there for years, possibly the owner? Prices are straightforward with no surprises at checkout. Every time I visit, I wish I had a cart because I always end up wanting more than I originally came for. This place is a keeper. read more

The man at the register was incredibly rude to me and my friends. Not sure who he is, I was just stopping by quickly because I was in the area and I quickly regretted this. The man was caribbean likely guyanese, very rude. The man raised his voice accusing me of using my friends phone to pay (my friends ID was expired so i took over the transaction), when it was really my phone that I just pulled out my pocket. & to top things off when I told him he was wrong and rude for yelling at me abt my phone he went back and forth with me for another 5 minutes. Waste of time and money. Come here if you want to feel like a bad customer! read more

When it comes to being reliable and on point this isn't the place. This is the place that leaves you waiting outside on Mothers Day because an employee is late even though there are already two employees. I recommend in my opinion to no longer feel that WW&S is a place to spend your money They don't care about wasting your time and in my opinion don't care about your money either. I will no longer spend my money at this establishment read more

Terrific assortment of wines and spirits for whatever you're in the mood for. Walking in I didn't know what to expect--though unsurprisingly as with most wine and liquor stores it's a large space with rows and shelves full of bottles. Each section and aisle is labeled by region and type of alcohol. This spot isn't as fancy as Astor's down the street though I'm good with that--they still have plenty of descriptions for a wine novice like me to browse around and find something I like. Many affordable options as well. Service when I've dropped by a couple times has been friendly though I heard it can be hit or miss. read more

Ashton is the man! 10/10. Great service from Ashton. I am grateful for his help. Best spot in soho

Went here because Astor Wines was opening later, My Usual Liquor Store...was CARDED for proof of Identity here.....lol.. NEVER happens at Astor... The guy helping me couldn't have been nicer, tho the checkout person, not so much...lol... maybe I'll come back, tho The Astor Employees know me and are more friendly... not hard to do or be.. Makes ALL the difference... read more

Overall all right budget liquor store. Selection is pretty much standard run of the mill popular items. Centrally and conveniently located.

I am working at Instacar and I went in to look for an order and their cashier work was a total rude and disrespectful and humiliating, in all the liquor stores that we entered to make order we report that we are from the instacar application and they help us make the order as quickly as possible but in this store the Latin cashier was a total abusive and rude, lacking respect with offensive words, so we are not customers we go on behalf of the client and we deserve respect and a good treatment not to be offended by a worker who does not want to fulfill his duties when attending or helping, a total rude and lack of respect read more

I used to go here back in the 80s. A few friends of mine who were party animals told me about this place. Alas, my friends are long gone, but The Warehouse is still here! They still have a great selection and the prices are decent. So glad they are still around. read more

Stopped in just to see what they had and it's a pretty vast selection. I've recently been introduced to Malfy Gin Blood Orange and was having a challenging time finding. Low and behold they had it here. The cashier was also very pleasant, and we chatted about the Lemon Gin of the same brand. If in the area again I'll swing into pickup other items that I keep on hand. read more

The distillery we wanted to visit was unexpectedly closed when we came to visit but we noticed that up the street was a liquor store so we decided to come in to see if they had the product we wanted to get. Luckily, they did! I was actually quite surprised at the sheer selection of items in this store. We have HUGE liquor emporiums in Vegas and I have shopped at liquor stores in NYC when I was younger so the variety in here was quite shocking. I will say that organization may be a bit wonky... An area marked RYE may not have the rye you are looking for but you turn around to WHISKEY and there it is. The pricing was pretty fair imo as well. I was actually expecting to pay more for the bottle I wanted at the distillery. Customer service was pretty top notch as well. We got asked if we needed help and the person ringing us up was nice and very helpful. read more

Randomly stopped in after going to the NYU Bookstore across the street. Walking in, it's a bit crowded, but only because they have a great selection and variety. I found a bottle I've been looking for and was thrilled to grab it up. The staff were kind and helpful and I appreciated their smiles. They were quick to assist and we're good for a quick chat. If I had more time, I'd have explored the store a bit more. Whether looking for something specific or wanting to find something new, I think this is a great spot for all of the above. read more

I love warehouse wines. Probably one of my favorite stores for wine and hard alcohol in the city. Incredible selection, unbeatable prices, and friendly and helpful staff. There are always a bizarre number of employees working - like the other day I was one of a small handful of customers in the store and the employees outnumbered us 3 to 1. They also play some bizarre music. But ultimately there is no better selection of wine for the price. I think it's organized *pretty* well but I still have trouble finding what I'm looking for when it's something specific and I usually need to ask for help. It's a better store for browsing and trying something new in my opinion. I was in there the other day looking for 19 crimes (I know I'm not fancy) and had to ask someone where it was. More than anything it's a testament to how big the store is though. Anyway great prices and great wine. A little utilitarian but it's on par with Trader Joe's wine in terms of prices and better in terms of selection. read more

5 star for items 1-star for check out person I am on a cane one handed kind of and she would not bag my rather expensive 4 items and walk away from the counter until I requested a bag. Yecks! It's getting to be more and more not kind to shop for anything at retail stores. I use to work retail and I'm always surprised by the number of personal phone calls made when people are working supposedly read more

They have a decent selection. But the the staff is hardly ever friendly and scanning customers' IDs is super suspect and weird. Avoid.

I just came from this store and had a horrible experience. Extremely rude staff who do not know their stock. I asked for a Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley in Oregon and the clerk said they had none. They haven't had it in at least a year. I knew that to be wrong since I bought some about a month ago. When I said that, he said, "You think you know more than me?". I asked him to point me to the Pinot Noirs, which he did. There were 5 or 6 Pinot Noirs from different vineyards in the Willamette Valley. When I told him that, he did not apologize. He just turned away. The customer service had gone to hell since this store changed ownership. There used to be knowledgeable sales people who knew their wine and knew the store's stock. What a big comedown! read more

Had to order drinks for 50 with a limited budget for a centenarian's birthday in December when they're super busy and I needed delivery at a specific time. Boy, was I sweating it. I called and was on hold for a long time, then asked to call back at a less busy time. But Denise at Warehouse came through on all counts! Delivery man arrived as promised and I was able to get two cases within budget. Will definitely return. read more

I just bought a bottle of wine there and they wanted to see my ID. That is legitimate although not always necessary. But then the cashier scanned my driver's license. I have no idea what happens to this scan but it is an invasion of privacy. If you value your privacy, do NOT buy here! read more

Worst customer service. Tried to call in a large order and was told someone would call back. No one ever did. They may have good prices but really can't be bothered. Even though I have an account, I'm taking my business somewhere else. read more

With home delivery and all these days from almost any liquor store I want...coming here is no longer the thrill it used to be. Used to seem like it was the BEST prices in town on everything... now...maybe on some wider selections of wines...but liquor....ehhhh...not so much. They also don't have a wide range of smaller sizes, so you either get 1 Liter size, or a pint. Probably good if you're looking for an odd "skull bottle" or a gift for someone, but otherwise... seems to be fading with the times. read more

The guy on the floor giving information about different drinks, was excellent. The woman by the register that claimed to be a manager (looked like Roseanne, from when the show first came on), wasn't helpful AT ALL. I was so upset, and this has been one of my stops when I'm in the neighborhood, for YEARS. NEVER have I EVER had to SHOW ID!!! Expired or not, it still verified age--which again, shouldn't have to be done, as it was NEVER done here, before. RIDICULOUS!!!! In a Dumocratic Chitty like this, there are few things that bring law-abiding, tax paying citizens JOY. We are robbed everywhere we turn, penalized for paying, and now this. PATHETIC, is the word of the day. I LOVE this place, but to be told "NO", for being an ADULT, who wants what they want?!?! I guess I have to line up by the bus, and wait for them to give me a fresh ID, while I wait for mine in the mail. Oops. My mistake. $.05 for bags, while thieves leave with theirs full of free things, and now ID'd in one of my favorite stores, and areas. High class (low grade) horsest. I am happy/not happy to see that I'm not the only one upset by this change, that she claimed started in January (then showed a paper with no date on it). I was really feeling singled out. This isn't right, and I'm sure they like being in business--so it has to STOP. The laws don't apply to anyone but the productive consumer, and it SUCKS. *Make no mistake, I'm getting what I went for, but 'they' lose the $. Cash, so it couldn't even be traced--but as other reviews noted, ZERO common sense applied. read more

I thought my original review was good. But, for the first time in some years, I visited Warehouse Wines. Today they no longer even have the selection they once did. The big island of odd-lot liquor is gone, replaced with vodka-seltzer cans and beer. What once was true, now no longer is -really, at all. I once enjoyed buying spirits and wine at Warehouse. UI went there regularly for more than twenty years. Walking into Warehouse was an experience unlike any other liquor store. Virtually every price was lower than any other good liquor store -even a good one. But as much as the great bargains were a draw, they were combined with an odd-lot inventory that changed over and brought ever-new high tier and unusual offerings. It was like Easter egg hunting for booze! Now I've discovered that I can find better prices on sale liquor at my local on the Upper East Side: right now they are selling Maker's Mark bourbon 1.75L for $54.99 -better than the last sale price at Warehouse that I saw. And this is true of most of most of what I drink. Some time ago, I went and wrote this: I went back there again today, for what must be much more than my hundredth-plus time. No luck. I mean it: Zilch. Well, OK, I found one bottle of Tangueray's 'Old Tom' gin for $19.95. Ever heard the phrase 'the exception that proves the rule' ? **   Well the new rule is: Warehouse is just like everywhere else. I suspect the Costcos and other giant stores with cheap liquors that have invaded the greater NYC area have just eaten into Warehouse's market.  And it seems the store was sold recently to new owners with different purposes. Their prices are now online -so compare with other stores locally (you can use "wine searcher" for liquor, too), and you will se they are higher than many others in NYC. In the past I would recommend this place to real connoisseurs of liquor and wine, and to top bartenders seeking out their own supply, or even as a traveling bar when called in for catered events (try finding creme de violette for Aviations!). I recall when one English bartender I knew found a bottle of high-tier Mackay's scotch whisky, and couldn't believe it. Then later he found a bottle of 'Something Special' -which was a vatted malt scotch whisky only made on occasion from special parcels of scotch. He just bought me back drink after drink for recommending the place. I once found a case of Signatory Mortlach for $20 a bottle (well, I mean I felt compelled to buy a full case.)  They were the last liquor store in the city to have the old Eagle Rare short bottle of bourbon at 101 proof -the good stuff. And both a friend and I enjoy good port -especially tawny ports. Warehouse had always had a great odd-lot selection of 10 and 20 year old tawnys at half the price of other liquor stores. Now you cannot even find a selection of 10 year old twany's (while there, they had one, Warre's Otima.) No Australian port. There were always some shortcomings at Warehouse; and most of it was wine. It's a big store with all kinds of offerings. The selection of wine was indiscriminate -much of it sheer 'plonk' as the British say. And you could not (and should not then or now) rely on the staff. Most are lucky to know the difference between shiraz and syrah, or why wine called 'chardonnay' in France is likely to be inferior. Also, I think they are told what to 'sell' for turnover -but I can't prove that.  Still, the point is that the wine varies so much -if only for the number of bad years- that 'caveat emptor' was never truer in the Forum. Again, though, back in the day if you went in with time on your hands, and a decent knowledge of wine, you could walk out with excellent bottles at half the price found in another store. That has not been true for some time at Warehouse: you get what you pay for, and they count the pennies. Blame Winesearcher. I don't know... it's a shame and not much fun. With all that said, however, it is still one of the better liquor stores in the entire city. You won't Save an arm there; or find many interesting 'treasures.' But you can restock your bar from the biggest selection around. They have more rums, gins, tequilas than most stores.  And, like most, they deliver free if you buy over a certain amount. * BTW that expression does not mean what modern users usually think: 'prove' has an older meaning of 'test' -so the origin of the expression meant that an exception tested a (proposed) rule... and it failed. So, originally, the expression meant the opposite of how we use it to read more

I was recently reminded of the Warehouse and went to visit them. As a Reisling fan, they don't have many choices, but their spirits collection is great! So many choices all in one location. In these COVID times, they are limiting the number of people in the store and have indicators in the aisle for one-way traffic. read more

Huge selection.. they have everything. Came here looking for specific liquors I couldn't find at any store by me. They had it!

Cheap booze on a moment's notice and in abundant quantity? Sign me up. Great for all occasions, Warehouse Wine & Spirits offers a wide variety of liquor and wine at prices friendly for all budgets. You don't even need to be a nearby NYU student to appreciate what this place offers that many other liquor joints don't. The rising cost of living / working / being in Manhattan means there should be more places like this. Warehouse reminds me a bit of BevMo, except without being a chain and the no nonsense interior means there is less focus on the ambiance and more on the booze (as it should be!). This is a local store through and through. The associates in the store are nice and won't judge you if you're on the search for two buck chuck or dollar wine. They're also super efficient - if you explain the kind of evening / drink taste you're searching for, they're more than helpful in helping you locate the perfect bottle. read more

Warehouse is, on average, the best bang for your buck. It's a not-so-hidden gem for your local alcoholic. I've gotten into whiskey pretty recently, and have been doing tasting of different types. From a lot of the different shops I've been to, I've worked out that most spirits in this place is 10% (give or take) less expensive than most other liquor stores. For example, they sell Templeton here for 33, where it's 36 at any of the other liquors stores I've seen in the city. The liquor/spirit selection here is pretty good, too. They do have a wine selection, but it's no where near as good as the one at Astor's (esp for those amazing organic/bio wines). I drop by whenever I'm in the area, and also if I want to get a ton of stuff for a big party. I'd recommend you do the same, too :) read more

Warehouse Wines & Spirits - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - New York, New York

Since new management moved in, every transaction requires not that they see state ID but that they register all of the details on the ID in their system. This is a huge invasion of privacy designed to collect information to which they have no right. It is an outrageous policy. read more

I have been buying here for over 20 years, in which I lost most of my hair and what was left has grayed, including my beard, since I'm now in my 60's. Though I hadn't been in a while I was just carded. I didn't have my ID so I couldn't complete my purchase. They even carded the guy in front of me who must have been at least 80 and he, too, was a longtime customer. Something must've gone down there because they have posted a sign that everyone is now carded. This is not uncommon beyond Jersey going south or west, but this is first for me anywhere in NYC. I don't blame the clerk as he was only doing his job, but common sense no longer applies here. So long, Warehouse. read more

They're open & doing business during the pandemic as safely & efficiently as possible. Major props and MAJOR gratitude to them. They say they can usually fulfill phone orders within 2 hours, online orders within 3. Via online, I lucked out with being able to pick up within 1 hour and go grocery shopping in the meantime. Def a lot of people figuring out the ordering curve outside the store, and people waiting for their pickup orders. Tremendous thanks again for your hard work. Stay well, stay healthy. read more

This place is literally as it sounds, it's like the Walmart of NYC liquor stores. Like that it has a very large selection of wines and liquors displayed in their cardboard cases at bargain prices when compared to other liquor stores in the City. If you're buying in bulk or just picking up a few items you won't find better pricing! read more

I have been shopping here for decades. Today they asked for ID. I gave them my NYCID which they don't accept. Driver License or Passport neither of which I carry around on quick errands. They refused to allow purchase. Let me be clear - no one is ever going to mistake me for an under-50 ever again much less under 21. At some point, common sense has to prevail. But it didn't. They've lost a customer. read more

I shopped here regularly for years. Recently they instituted a policy of scanning your state issued ID for every purchase. I am 68 years old and look it. I don't need them tracking my every purchase. I shop at Astor now. read more

Extremely bad experience. They trick people with wrong label only different by one word, which has a much lower price. I always read the price label, but still get tricked. And they BLAME YOU! Yes!!!!!! that what they do!!! They BLAME you not reading it carefully enough! Do not buy from this store! I said that they should correct the label and they get sooooooo angry and would NOT even let me go home unless I admit that it is my fault that I did not read the label carefully. read more

Stupid service when an 82 year old s denied service for not carrrying a passport or a drivers license WHAT THE HELL IS MY NYC ID FOR?!!8

Times change. Just went in to Warehouse (May 2023), there was no staff to assist, the place was dead. Seems it was sold sometime last year to something called Go Puff or Puff Daddy or something like that, all the helpful people who formerly worked there are gone (and not replaced), prices are no longer any better than at Astor. No reason to return. read more

Amazing spot to shop when I'm in town! Team is great and they have a HUGE assortment.

A diversified selection of wines and attentive service. There was a mistake made in their delivery to me but they made good and did the right thing. read more

There are two salespersons who are excellent. The manager this evening May 9 was very obnoxious. A stock person left a box on the floor of the aisle next to the section where they sell half bottles. I walked closer to the display in order to see the items in the back row. I tripped on the box and voiced my displeasure. The manager told me it was my fault. Who expects random boxes to be in an aisle? Who expects the manager to yell at a customer? The lack of respect for customers has me motivated to walk to Astor. It is always neat and clean. You're rolling now - got any more to add? Post Review read more

Great selection ......large store Reasonable prices Opens early ......convenient location Will return read more
