What an amazing selection and store! So I wanted to get my dad a bottle of Yamazaki 12 Scotch for Xmas. Alas, the supplies were extremely limited in PA (where I reside) and MA (where my dad resides). After some google research I discovered Astor Wine and Spirits. I called and confirmed that they had the bottle and that they worked with shipping companies that would send to MA. I then went online and placed the order.
2-4 days later my dad received the package and the bottle was broken! What a bummer! I called Astor and spoke to Santiago who works in their shipping department. What a nice guy! He felt awful about the situation and I could tell he was a genuinely concerned about my dad not getting his Xmas present on time. He assured me that a new bottle will be sent out on Monday and will be there by Wednesday at the latest. Xmas saved! Thank you, Astor Wines and Spirits, and more specifically, thank you Santiago!
The best! Huge selection at good prices! I especially love their sweeter and dessert wine offerings.
This is the GREATEST wine and liquor shop in the city. The staff has yet to fail me on recommendations and they have everything you need and everything you didn’t know you needed. Located in the heart of NoHo and offering delivery throughout the city! Routine tastings and purveyors will show on weekends to engage and educate. The best, always!
They have a best selection of liquors. I've been there several times and the stuff is always honest and knowledgeable. Great location for tourists and local citizens. The store is one of my favorite on Manhattan.
Large selection of wines from various regions and spirits. There are tastings most days of the week with discounts on what's tasting. They do occasional category sales which you can sign up for their mailing list to learn about. Don't forget to take a peek at the clearance shelves to the right of the entrance for some real bargins if they have something you like. I would like to see smaller wine producing regions better represented and a larger sherry selection.
your w/h/ining needs to stop! Booze-A-Palooza is here aka Astor Wines and Spirits to quench your thirst!
giant liquor store: clean, bright, well-organized. the store has tasting events and such. it's hard to miss on Lafayette! a walkdown store with a huge retail footprint. aisles and aisles well-stocked with wines and spirits. the front where you enter is where all the cashiers are
i do most of my boozy gift shopping here. easy to find premium brands across vodka, gin, whiskey, scotch, etc. the prices are on the higher side, but worth itconsidering i don't have to go to 8 different places to find the Balvenie, Hibiki, etc that i want, but it does add up. stocking your bar with a variety of mid- to top-shelf liquors is a snap here.
the staff is fairly knowledgeable and knows their "alkeehols."
PRO TIP: you can ship booze purchases from here as gifts via UPS or FedEx. supereasy. you get competitive-ish pricing.
drops mic cuz i don't want to drop these bottles of Yamazaki 12 & Balvenie 21
Wonderful selection. Knowledgeable staff. Great prices. Better liquor selection than the nearby Warehouse, but the wine selection isn't as good. That said, still a great selection and worth the five stars.
I have never been more impressed with a company's customer service. My order was redirected by the shipping company that initially handled it, and that caused my delivery to miss a very important deadline. Astor got right back to me about the issue, figured out what had gone wrong, and sent out a new order right away (using a different shipping company).
I still had to wing it for my event, but Astor did absolutely right by me.
I love the store set up, wonderful selection of wines and spirits. Amazing customer service and they always have something on sale. Experience: I left my phone there on a Monday, they emailed me that night saying they had it. Went there Tuesday and picked it up with no problem. That's how you handle a customer situation. Thanks Astor Wines and Spirits.
An impressive wine store. One of the best. Some amazing and outstanding wine values for anywhere in the U.S., let alone in Manhattan in NYC. I found some very hard-to-find French reds at badass prices and their selection is clearly curated by genuine wine lovers of pure, simple wines that taste great.
I'm picky as hell about wine selection and pricing. Few can do both really, really well because a store has to attract a high volume of hardcore wine customers to achieve it. But, this is one of the few that sets a standard. I live in Baltimore area and will make a special Saturday trip in the near future just to get at some more of their wines. That's how good this place is. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Great selection, decent prices, sales and regular wine tastings.
This was the second wine class/tasting we have done and it is always fun, delicious and interesting. Great to make a gift!
One of my favorite places in the city. The prices are amazing and if you know what you're doing you can find something truly amazing. If you're not a ln expert, someone on the staff can certainly (and happily) point you in the right direction.
It has a large and diverse inventory. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. If they don't have something in inventory you can ask their staff to help you set up an "alert" that will send an email when the item is back in stock. If you create a profile online you will receive info on Astor pay/free tasting events, sales on wine/spirit types and you can order online and for orders over $99 you get free shipping to anywhere in Manhattan.
