Woody’s Liquors

Incredibly terrible service. The woman on the phone was rude and sounded like she had a fifth grade education. I made my order for liquor at 10:30 it’s 11:30 nothing. Dont give this place your business.

I guess the owner of this fine establishment does not like when customers warn other customers that they might be in for an extended wait (see original review below). I realize a single experience is not representative of every experience (thus the aggregating nature of Unilocal), but I had a little fun sharing my sub-​par transaction with my fellow citizens (the point of Unilocal) so that they might be able to put their hard-​earned money to good use (the point of Unilocal) and let them value their time as they see fit (the point of Unilocal). After all, maybe long waits are something people crave. I’m not trying to deprive anyone of that.
The owner’s follow-​up to my review, sent by private message, began with «Thanks.» But I quickly began to suspect he was actually not thankful.
He called me a twenty-​something, which he seemed to mean pejoratively, who has «never had to fight or work for anything in your short uneventful life so you think ‘I’ll try and destroy this place by giving it 1 star.’» But I want to set the record straight: my life has had an event or two in it and every now and then a downright decent one. Some even took a little work.
He insisted that I am «very little» and wagered that I «probably have Napoleon syndrome,» but I insist I am not and do not. It’s interesting that his mind leapt to this charge.
He also seemed to be mocking me when he said that «millions perhaps even hundreds (sic) of people will now see what [you] wrote and this would be perhaps your finest work that you wrote (sic) since you plagiarized that English literature thesis paper sophomore year.» That’s when I knew he wasn’t messing around.
I did once plagiarize a poem back in high school, and I feel pretty bad about it. I still do. That hit a little close to home. I’m still trying to get over that day. So if you want to avoid having your feelings borne bare by the unsolicited and razor-​sharp Freudian insight of a business owner who misunderstands Unilocal,I suggest you take care to avoid the tears of vulnerability that are sure to follow should you post a review and experience the customer service of John the owner.
He signed off by asking, «what kind of name is [that] anyway?» And the truth is, John, that I don’t know. I just don’t know.
This place is also a liquor store. Maybe that’s more their thing.

Ordered a pizza through Eat 24 and it took 3 hours to arrive. The pizza was cold when delivered and folks on the phone were unhelpful — clearly busy and overloaded with orders. But 3 hours for delivery seems unacceptable.

So I placed an order through Foodler for delivery. Pizza to arrive around 7:50. I finally called around 8:40. The lovely woman on the phone said there was an issue with the fax from Foodler, they didn’t get the order until 7:30, and my food had just left the restaurant. I get that it wasn’t their fault, but a call when the fax came in, telling me of the new ETA, would have been nice.
That said, even if the fax got there at 7:30 (on a Saturday night) my food still didn’t get to me, 2.5 miles and 10 minutes away, until 8:55. Soo delivery was a bit slow.
That said. The pizza was great. The best I’ve been able to get delivered since I moved to East Boston. Sooo I guess don’t order from them via Foodler and enjoy some great pizza (but be aware of the possibility that delivery will take ages).

One of the 1^st things I like to have knowledge of after any move into a new neighborhood is the location of the nearest package store. Every time i walk into Woody’s I always fear they will not have something an adult beverage I want but this place is deceptively vast. Especially with the newly added section which by the looks of it is being used for wine tasting. Venture into the freezer if there is something that is not catching your eye out front. As many have mentioned before, their location is a huge factor. Being one T stop away or a 5 minute drive is super convenient plus if you don’t feel like leaving the house? Just have it delivered. Now that’s brilliant. In addition to adult beverages they also have a decent assortment of snacks & soft drinks. They have Faygo for all the Juggalos left out there. I’m glad corner packies like this still exist. Oh, grab a slice around the corner if you get hungry.

THEY DELIVER! YAY! As someone who likes a good selection of booze and for a good price… this place is perfect. They are so nice and helpful. They have everything from cheap 40’s to classy «I am filthy rich» booze. They have scratch tickets and cigs too. Ah all the bad stuff right under one roof. I normally get a few cheap 40’s and wine and can manage not to spend over $ 15.

This place is number one… As much as Kappys is cheaper, I love this corner area for a liquor store that has a great selection for such a small area. The people ate friendly and the service is the best in the area.

The location makes this place a go-​to for liquor stores in the area. I lived in Winthrop for 3 years, two of which were spent relying on public transportation.
So having Woody’s located right across the street from the Orient Heights blue line was great. I could grab my drinks while waiting for the bus to get me home.
Their prices are comparable to the other few liquor stores I would go to, when in Winthrop. Plus if you don’t feel like running out, they deliver too.

Just what I need. Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Doritos. A rather impressive array of nips.
My favorite part? The dust on the expensive wine. It shows what kind of clientele haunts Woody’s and what kind doesn’t.
Kappy’s intimidates, and the surly sales girl always asks for my ID. Gladly.

Just down the street from my house. I know they deliver but I like to walk down just to talk to the staff. Great prices and a good selection. I love this place.

You can’t go wrong with the only place still open after 7PM on a Sunday!!! Their prices aren’t bad either, I’ve found them to be on par with Kappy’s for hard liquor though a litlte higher for beer.

this isn’t the location that i use much but still is on point as a company.

Woody’s has a decent selection of beer, wine, and liquor. But I’m reviewing based on their customer service. I have never had a bad experience with anyone that works there. They’re always super nice and provide quick service.
For those who are already three sheets to the wind and don’t want to drive to grab another sixer… please note that Woody’s delivers.

Woody’s is pretty rockin. They are located across from the Orient Heights station so if youre going to the Throp, you can walk on over and get your booze and catch the bus.
They deliver… I don’t understand how or what, but they do which is kind of hott. They were really friendly and funny when I went in there and they have a pretty decent wine and spirits selection at decent prices. If I didn’t live in a tiny town with 10 liquor stores per square mile, I would totally go here more often.

All Unilocal reviewers agree, Woody’s put the «bomp» in the «bomp bomp sh-​bomp».
They deliver, they are always friendly, they have good prices, selection and are very prompt.
I grew up on the South Shore, and the concept of a liquor store delivering to a private home is so alien that I never even contemplated it. When I was visiting a friend on the North Shore several years ago, we were discussing what to get, and instead of putting our coats on, he *picked up the phone*. My mind… she was blown.
Now that I live in Eastie, these guys are on speed dial in my phone. My only regret is that they don’t have a «menu» of prices online, or at least a page with specials. But this isn’t enough to give it only a 4 star rating… more like 4.8.

Woody’s is cool for three reasons.
1) They deliver
2) They are polite and friendly
3) They have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different kinds of cider. Now, granted… I won’t drink two of them (Woodpecker and Harpoon (cause Harpoon sucks)) but the very fact that they have that kind of variety for us non-​beer drinkers is wonderful.
They also have a well stocked fridge section with a variety of beers, malts, and whatnot and a large rack of wine. The price for the 6 pack I bought was about par with other places I’ve bought at.

Woody’s. How I heart thee.
They deliver. I too support not drinking and driving…
They tell you what temperature it is, and how late you are in getting where you need to go.
The sign also reads your mind and tells you it’s a measly 18 bucks to walk in a get yourself your own lil teeny keg of Heini.
Pissah.

Woody’s delivers! ‘Nuff said
