I love shopping at the New Haven / Woodbridge location of Amity Wine & Spirit Co. We mostly drink wine and beer in our house, and they have a really large, really excellent selection of both local and national craft beers, as well as some outstanding wine selections from around the world.For wine, I especially like their section of 35 bottles of wine under $35. Or maybe its $25. In any case, it is a good way to venture out and try good (sometimes great) versions of different wines without breaking the bank.Every once in a while when I need to pick up specialty wines (like sake, soju, etc). or liquor, Im also impressed with the selection. Prices are overall very competitive and the service (especially for wine recommendations) is outstanding.
Great selection. Good value. They stock many many varieties, lots of local stuff, and are willing to order something for you if youre willing to wait for it. Also they deliver to your door for $5.
Well organized and a great selection of craft brews and imported beers.
Gentleman was extremely knowledgeable regarding cognac and tequila. He helped me to successfully select something for my sons birthday gift.Thank You Amity Wine & Spirits
I usually have a decent experience at Amity but today not so much. I walked in today with my burlap bag For shopping. As I walk in I look to my left I see a guy give a signal to the cashiers. I didn’t think anything of it until that same guy walks over to stand near the aisle I’m in & get on his phone/watch me. I’m the only person in the aisle & the store has plenty of customers. I ask him if he wants to hold my bag because I now know he’s assuming I’m going to steal. He says ooh no that’s ok. He’s the manager & his name is Jorge. He shouldn’t be anyone’s manager.I purchased my items and left. The cashiers are always pleasant. I work too hard to be followed by someone who couldn’t hold my title in real life. The audacity.
Really nice selections of wine, beer and cordials. Staff is ready to help and doesnt try to over sell marketing products.
Best big (over 5000 sq ft) liquor store in grester new haven. If they could just keep their beer cold id give them 5 stars. I suppose the cooler is so big that its hard to keep cold, but still
Hands down the nicest liquor store with best customer service I have ever had the pleasure of going to
Great place. Good inventory and always has what Im looking for.
Excellent selection of wines and liquors. Friendly, knowledgeable employees. Best in the area.
This place had a great beer selection, like Coastal used to have. Im sad its not closer to me, it would be my new favorite beer store.
Very nice and good sized, thus nice selection of wine and beer. Staff usually helpful with the ever changing beer scape!
I used to drive all the way from Stratford Connecticut to come to this liquor store because they always had good prices and a knowledgeable staff it must be under New Management because I went the other day did not get greeted and nobody knew where anything was I was very disappointed
Friendly and helpful staff, good selection.
I love this store. Clean, a lot of products. The young man who waited on me, did not have answer to my questions. But; He provided someone who was able to answer my questions. I also like thats the store delivers. Especially around holiday time, the working person, doesnt have run around.
Best selection around. Very friendly people and extremely helpful in finding what you are looking for
What can you say the best
Best place ever, always friendly people!!
An excellent selection of beer. Lots of variety and rare stuff. There appears to be a large selection of wine. Im not as picky about my wine, but I am sure they have a great selection.
Friendly, well organized full service store with a very good wine selection. Also a very good assortment of local beers, craft beers, cordials and liquor.
The staff is very friendly and I was impressed by the variety of international brands available.
Just about everything you could ever be looking for can be found here
Always sO informative
Theyve got mostly everything you could hope for in a liquor store.
Place where I can find my favorite $10 bottle of wine and even run into a friend! Very helpful staff and best-priced package store in NHV!
I love how the employee help me fine a wine and other products. Im very pleased with the customer service they provide.
Theres a lot of wine here, good craft beer selection too. The kid in the aisle was helpful
Large selection of wines and very reasonable prices. Fantastic customer service and very knowledgeable and passionate with what they do. Highly recommended to anyone needing a reliable high quality wine shop.
Huge! A really impressive variety of wines, beers and liquor, liqueurs and mixers.
Great delivery service. Fast and friendly.
Generously donated to GNHCP for our fundraiser. I will do all my liquor shopping here in the future
Always helpful, courteous, & friendly!!!
Theres nothing worse than going to a beer store and struggling to find what you want. Theres nothing better than having countless choices for countless return trips. Unlike some other New Haven beverage places, Ill be back again and again to Amity Wine & Spirit Co.
Great selection, fair prices and nice people.Cant go wrong here!
Good place, friendly staff, good selection.
They have a pretty good selection, not always the best prices around. Overall a good store to stop by and get what youre lookin for.
Good price
Great selection of boxed wines and craft beer
Great variety of everything and they are very helpful.
Without question the best liquor store in the area. The varieties of beer, wine and liquor is impressive and prices are quite fair. The staff is awesome and if your looking for that special bottle of wine their advice is perfect and they never oversell. I’ve been going there a very long time and never had a single negative experience.
Great selection, good prices and knowledgeable people to help.
New layout and store design just doesnt make sense to me. Some beer is here, some beer is there, and nothing is clearly marked. I found myself circling a couple of shelves trying to figure out where everything was. They somehow took a large store and made it looks like a warehouse that is going out of business. I was also hoping to grab a cold bottle of champagne and their cold selection is extremely limited (unless you want the cheap Andre stuff). I hope adjustments are made because the layout definitely doesnt flow. Before this re-design of the store, beer was down the first aisle, all in 1 section with a small overflow of cans to the side. On another note, it would have been nice to encounter friendly staff that asks if you need help (especially when you are circling the store trying to get your bearings). What I encountered were small groups of guys with their arms folded and having little pow-wows. They turned their backs to me and didnt look like they wanted to help. I guess I could have interrupted their conversation but I was in a hurry and just wanted to grab and go. Disappointing.
Ordered a bottle of Blanton’s Bourbon from their online site to be shipped to me in Colorado and I must say I am Very impressed from the ordering to the receiving! Class act employees & store! Bottle could not have been packaged any safer, fantastic job!! I will be ordering from Amity again in the future!
Great wine selection and knowledgeable staff
Decent selection but they need more craft singles!
Fast service.
Love this place. Huge selection. Very nice staff. Theyre currently under construction and the place is looking good. And the prices are very cheap. I definitely would recommend this place. Just excuse the construction.
Very wide selection, convenient n friendly service
Good selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Well laid out craft beer aisles based on location. Very helpful and attentive staff.
I usually love this store. Great selection, helpful staff. However I am very upset with them currently. I have been waiting all year for a specific beer to be released. Ive gone in, and asked, many many times when it would be in. I left my number for a call when it came in on more than one occasion. Well now I am without any of this beer because I did not get the phone call I requested. This is extremely upsetting. I understand when something is in high demand it my be hard to acquire, however if you tell a customer youll let them know when something they requested will be in, you should at least call them and let them know. I will be taking my gripe to the management next time I am there. Otherwise, great store.
They changed their look. Havent decided yet if I like it. Its definitely more open and easier to see things but its also a bit stark. So What! Enough about the decor. Their selection is still great and the staff are always helpful and friendly.
Huge selection and great service. Also after the renovation its even better and brighter. We go on Sundays to catch Phil who has a huge knowledge of wine and spirits. When we first moved here last fall he found a syrah we liked because we couldnt find it at other wine stores. So he ordered it and now they constantly stock it. Very grateful to have Phil and entire team at Amity wine and spirits so close by .
Awesome place and people
My husband was discriminated against today in the store he has a walking disability due to a horrible car accident from a few years back and sometimes his legs will buckle and the owner and the cashier were extremely rude to him and mocked him
I have only come here for craft beer and they have an amazing selection. Two store long aisles plus beer in the fridge. Great Northeast selection of beer but they also get hard-to-find beers from the West coast as well. Staff is very helpful. Plenty of parking.
Massive, massive selection. Anytime Ive needed help or recommendations (mostly with wine choices) multiple employees on several occasions have helped me in a super friendly manner. Great location and plenty of parking. Theres really not much more I could ask for!
Awesome selection. Staff are always helpful.
Libraries and liquor stores...my favorite things.
Excellent variety of craft beer (local and from around the world). Nice large wine selection. Prices on liquor can be a bit high, but theres convenience to finding everything in one store.
The staff is friendly and very helpful. They have tastings of wines and other beverages throughout the week. They have a huge selection of beers wines and liquor. Good prices as well. If you dont see what youre looking for, they can order it for you.
Big selection. Prices reasonable
Large selection and always willing to advise.
Mildly confusing layout for me. Signs arent the most visible. But they have a good selection and the staff is friendly!
Great selection, knowledgeable staff, good prices!
Excellent selection of wines, beers, and liquors. They have even special ordered things for me they did not regularly stock. Staff is knowledgeable about the products as well.
Great, full service bottle shop - the selection is excellent, and the staff are both friendly and knowledgeable
Best selection and informative staff. My personal favorite in New Haven.
Amity is an oasis. When I first moved to CT it seemed like there was only Mom and Pop liquor stores. Then I found Amity. Great selection of craft beers, wine, and liquor. Since that time a number of other large package stores have opened, but I still keep coming back to Amity. The staff is helpful and friendly. You cant ask for more!
Got what you need
Huge selection. Reasonable price. Fast service.
Employee was very nice and helpful and knew alot about the different liquors I had questions about
Amazing selection of craft beer with good prices. Fantastic spirit and wine selection as well. Great kosher wine selection in New Haven.
Huge selection and excellent prices, granted Im comparing this to NYC alcohol prices.They had wine, beer, liquor, mixers, etc. They had a good variety of craft beers as well.
This store has an amazing craft beer selection. They have a great selection from all over including the usual like Stone, Dogfish, but check out the great local CT selection from New England Brewing, Thimble Island, Kent and an occasional treat from Lawsons. Staff is helpful knowledgeable and with a five guys, Starbucks and Katz deli within 50 yards. Stop in.
Very knowledgeable, tell them what you are serving and how much you want to spend on wine and they will make suggestions. Never been disappointed with their wine choices.
Full service liquor store with great selection of both imported and domestic beers and wines. Very knowledgeable staff provides guidance and recommendations on all spirits.
They have a great selection of wine, craft beer and a very large liquor selection. There are many things at this store that I cant find anywhere else. They usually have free samples on Saturday and I found at least 5 products that I now like that I wouldnt have even though of purchasing before.
Large variety of wines, beers and spirits. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Something for everyone.
Best selection of wine and beer within a 50 mile radius by far!
Surprisingly good beer selection
People are friendly and have a great selection of drinks.
Great service and selection. Good parking. Good wine selection of wines.
A favorite stop when in the area. Husband buys his once a day nip bottle. Ive purchased liquor here as well.
Nice people good service
This place is my go-to if I dont want to be bothered to go all the way to the Post Road. CT, due to minimum bottle pricing, has a huge number of tiny, low quality, poorly stocked, poorly staffed liquor stores. This is not one of those. A wide variety of choices, a generally knowledgeable staff, and a sensible layout make this my favorite spot in New Haven for wine and beer
Best selection of liquor, beer and all spirits! They had Marie Blizard Parfait Amoir on hand! No one has the inventory Amity Wine and Spirits has. Dan will get what ever it is you want! Great team!
I always find what I need here. They have one of the best selections of alcohol in New Haven, I love finding random stuff Ive never seen here.
Not what it used to be! Average
Wide varieities at reasonable prices. My go to destination when Im in the area.
Good service! Got my online order as expected. Was a little skeptical at first, but they came through! Will order from them again, should they have something I want!
A great selection of everything. Friendly, helpful staff. Decent price
Always a great selection of craft beers - if you catch Adam in the beer area, he is very informative and knows the brewers and the history of how they got to where they are - great recommendations!
Last time we get there at the very last minute, the owner was so nice on let us in before closing
Poor customer service and attitude. Refused to honor a gift card sold by the prior owners because their new computer system couldnt read the amount. Rather than work to find a solution they were dismissive. I would never shop there again.
Great selection and knowledgeable staff
This was a Hindu temple that was not very far from I had my motel room. I was in hope that was open. But during my time there I believe it was closed.
Very nice place with enormous selection of wine and liquorProfessional employees always helpful.I would definitely recommend this place.
Great selection of craft beer and an impressive roster of wines too. Easily the best package store in the area!
