6 reviews for Al's Bottled Liquors
Okay well first off I live in Southie about a block from this place and they delivered me beer jameson and a two liter of ginger ale in the middle of a snow storm. K thanks,
Also, I am five feet tall so the store is scary due to the fact that things are stacked really high and tippy like throughout the store but i love it there and the owner orders me wine I like if they dont have it. Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir... Love it. ALSO and more importantly, the owners wife sells her daughters girl scout cookies at the counter. 5th star goes to that lady. I love you.
yes yes yes.
I recommend everyone in southie buy their liquor here. The people that work at Al's are SO friendly its almost painful. They are always willing to help you find a specific kind of wine or give suggestions on what might taste good together. Their prices are also really good. I am on the border of southie and the south end and would choose al's over anything in the south end where everything is more expensive (unless looking for more extensive wine selections - then check out wine emporium)
The woman who works during the day is my personal favorite, but they are all great. Also, just a tid bit for you, they have been organizing the store a bit better lately - not that it was ever that messy- and got new floors.
IF you avoid going at one time though, i would say 4-5pm cuz it gets pretty crazy in there.
(ok i obviously buy a lot of liquor - don't judge.. )
Compared to the nearby liquor stores Al's prices on beer and hard alcohol cannot be beat. They often have a case of 24 beers of some rotating type for just $20 and it is not cheap beer like High Life either. The staff is also very friendly and personable. The store is packed with inventory and it is often stacked high, but that is a good thing to me. I would prefer a cramped space with lots of selection over a store that only has a few options but a cleaner aesthetic(Apple I am looking at you).
This place has a friendly staff, a decent (if spotty) selection, and fair prices. The store is extremely cramped and tough to move around, and the keg prices are absurdly high. Other than that, this place does this trick.
Definitely my favorite liquor store in the South boston area. Always friendly staff and the greatest prices. You walk in and there are cases of beer, wine, etc stacked basically up to the ceiling. Very crowded in there but that is part of the charm of this place. If you need to get a keg go here. Best prices around and they don't give you any bullshit on deposit, returning it, etc (as compared to the Dorgan's place on East Broadway which I've heard will always give you a hard time on giving you the correct amount of deposit money back). Overall, they have a good selection of everything from wine to vodka to beer. If you can't find it the more than likely have it out back and the staff is more than welcome to help you out. And you can't beat the Dropkick Murphy's logo on the side mural outside. Classic
Great local liquor store, with very friendly staff, and good prices.
You would be surprised, but I have even bought a Dom Perignon champagne straight from their fridge, so just ask what specials they have!
And if you are very nice, you might even get Al's pecial calendar featuring gorgeous models!
Cheers
