I love this place not just because it's behind my house but because the staff and selection really rocks. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and really all around experts at sweet libations. Ask for Ron or Julie and you'll get some great help.
The selection of wine here is bar none the best around with many Chairman Select varieties to choose from as well as the standard staples. -

I head over to the Ardmore Wine & Spirts about once a week and have never had a bad customer service moment. On top of being clean and well stocked, the staff has always been able to answer a question or help me find whatever I'm looking for. There is one gray haired guy who works the register a lot who is really friendly and usually cracks a few jokes to people while I'm waiting in line.

The Ardmore Wine & Spirits store has the dubious distinction of being the crown jewel in the PA wine and liquor monopoly. Of the dozen or so area stores I've been in, the Ardmore location has the best selection of mid to high priced wines, often on sale. I scored Conn Creek and Katherine Hall '06 Napa here for under $40/bottle recently.
The chairman's reserve room is very well stocked with high end wines for that special occassion. The wines here are kept at cellar temperature, about 55 deg. F. The rest of the store is well organized, clean, and generally well run.
For a government run entity, its about as good as it gets. Parking out front can be tricky at times, but there is a large free municipal lot across the street. -

Most people I talk to say that this store has the best selection in all of eastern Pennsylvania. I think that it has perhaps the best high-end selection, but the Bryn Mawr store has more interesting mid-priced wines. The Bryn Mawr store's cold room is a tiny bit bigger too.
During this visit I was looking for dessert wines but was a bit disappointed in the skimpy selection. -

So this is my first experience with a state-run liquor store. Interesting to say the least. Why is it that the clerk can't take my alcohol out of the basket?? Weird.
Uber stars for carrying my latest favorite wine, Plungerhead Zin. I had a tough time finding this in Chicago.
Minus one star for not carrying my favorite Scotch, Balvenie. I found an acceptable substitute (Bruichladdich), but still disappointing.
Not much parking right in front, but the extra parking next to the fire station is nice. -

This Wine & Spirits is a normal size, well-stocked, with an above-average selection of wine. It's one of many stores in a shopping center, conveniently near a few BYOBs.
Before dinner, we walked over to get a bottle or two. In no time, we found both a bottle of liquor and a bottle of wine perfect for our needs.
As we approached the cashier, a staffer offered to hold our bottles if we wanted to browse more - we had what we needed so we declined. How's that for customer service? -

Of all the Wine & Spirit stores in Pennsylvania, this location has been rated the best in the state. Yeah... right here in little 'ole Ardmore.
Take advantage of the expertise in the store. At least two of the managers are wine experts. Even the cashiers and stock people are well versed in wine.
It's a premium store location and offers many wines in their Private Collection that you'd be hard pressed to find close by.
Despite being one of the largest purchasers of wine IN THE COUNTRY, the state still manages to charge a couple dollars more than you would in New Jersey or Delaware. HINT: If you're purchasing in volume, head across the state border.
All in all, I love the folks that work in this store. They're knowledgable and helpful. I spend a ton of money here... and love every minute. -

Went here for a liquor/wine run and we had to get there before it closed at 10 pm! (ugh) What is up with that?!
Anyway, as soon as we walked in -- the aisles were pretty much organized according to spirits, the origin of the bottle per country and such. Too bad, I was hoping to see some tonic water bottles but to my dismay, we had to go somewhere else.
Prices were affordable and given that Philly does not have a sales tax! Yup, 0%! I guess that would be a plus. -

The sheer size of this place alone makes it my go-to liquor store. They have an extensive amount of hard liquor and wines, much more so than nearby Rosemont Beverage. It's well organized and the aisles and displays are clearly marked. There are always in-store tastings, but I never partake, because this gal don't drink and drive. I will, however, take crackers.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. In terms of parking, there's a few spaces in front of the store, but you're better off parking in the large lot across the street, next to the fire department.
For all of the underage kiddies, I rarely, if ever, get carded here. I also look at least five years older than I actually am, so I wouldn't take this as an invitation to waltz in wearing your prep school uniform.Listed in: Alma Mater

Fantastic selection of wines, usually some featured ones at great prices. The staff is very helpful and will track things down for you even if they don't have them in store.

Terrific selection, helpful staff, fabulous sales - if you have to have state run liquor stores (another sign of one of the most astoundingly corrupt state legislatures in the nation ... oh you complacent Pennsylvanians), you might as well shop here!

The most exhaustive selection of German Rieslings in the entire state. After searching through the PLCB's listings, it seems as if other wines are well represented as well. This well stocked establishment is one of the advantages of living along the Main Line.
