This place is great. Incredible wine selection — as good as I have found around the city. And their prices are very reasonable. I realized when I had gotten home that they had accidentally forgotten to charge me for a bottle of wine two visits ago, and my conscious was killing me. I resolved to go back and let them know their mistake upon my next visit(too far to go back right away). And there I was, checking out, and ready to tell of my shame, when they overcharged me(double charged me) for a bottle of wine(ironically the same bottle of wine). I did not say a word, paid my penance and conscious cleared!!! That being said, may want to watch the bill here, not the most accurate shop around.

My first go to spot! Great prices and great selections. They will usually assist you if you can’t find a specific item. The staff will either find it for you or recommend something comparable, often times something better. They also have occasional tastings. Free shots, why not? The only complaint I have is that they close at 10PM(sucks for us last minute shoppers!)

5 stars just for having my favorite beer: Leinenkugel’s(their summer shandy is the best!). AND they even special ordered a winter variety for me. That’s customer service!

Although advertising that they deliver, they don’t.

I have been shopping here for all of my liquor store needs for several years. The prices are very competitive, the wine selection is vast and when I have a question about what to serve for a higher end wine, or suggestions, the managers and owner are very knowledgeable and helpful. I can always count on assistance if I need it and I never leave frustrated — or empty handed. There have been occasions when I have seen a wine elsewhere and asked for it, the mgmt. has offered to look it up and also order it if possible. A decent store, with great prices and selection, staffed by courteous and knowledgable employees.

On the way to the beach I have stopped here many times, only to be treated badly by the staff. Usually I have my friend in tow and stop for a 6 pack and ice. The staff always has some negative comment regarding our beach plans and they verbally harass us and never treat us with respect. We are polite girls out to enjoy our day off and need no flak from cranky clerks or the management. It’s happened so many times we are now forced to stop shopping here?! Buying beer shouldn’t be this miserable! We will never shop here again!

I go to liquor stores for the beer, and I like my variety. Lynnway Liquors honestly used to really disappoint me in terms of selection. Especially since it is owned by the same people at Vinnin Liquors(which has wonderful beer selection). They used to have a copious amounts of Mega Swill(common industrial beer). Very recently, as in the past couple of months, this store has completely updated their beer inventory, and now carries a respectable selection. Mostly American beers from all over the country. 22oz section is growing, and the six pack selection is much more appealing now. I plan to give quite a bit more business in the future. I acknowledge and am thankful for the attempt to cater to beer lovers. Especially because it is on my way home from work and very convenient. Also if anyone has beer questions while they are there, «Kevin» seems to know what up.

Decent selection, very old interior, average prices. Not my first choice but wouldn’t be my last. No Kappy’s in the immediate area so if you have no other places to purchase from this is a good spot. Pretty convienent on the Lynnway.(Watch out for Lynn Police setting up speed traps at the end of the bridge, Dunkin Donuts by Lynn Boat Landing, the Porthole.)

Your first imagining of a liquor store on the Lynnway, attached to a carwash & gas station, might be of the kind of place that stocks mostly cheap malt liquor & bad beer, and maybe gets caught selling to minors from time to time, right? Lynn, Lynn, city of sin and all that… Well, Lynnway liquors stocks mostly cheap malt liquor & bad beer, and has been caught selling to minors from time to time. With that out of the way, there are a few defensible microbrews available, as well as a selection of Central American & Asian imports that will set you up in a pinch. But the wine! Oh, the wine. Whoever is buying wine for this large, spacious liquor store is stocking some crazy interesting things. They have 3 or 4 full rows of Australian wines, with at least half over the $ 50 mark and up to not only Grange but a number of other Aussie reds in the $ 150-$ 300 range. Weird. Not exactly my everyday drinking, but I never seem to be able to leave the place without a decent bottle or two. And that is just the front of the store. Good selection of American wines — I can’t really remember what the rest of their selection looks like, but it’s pretty varied & large. The Spanish section isn’t as good as their jointly owned place in Vinnin Square, Swampscott, and their prices tend a little higher for some reason — both for wine and booze. Still reasonable though. I’ve gotten friendly & helpful assistance once or twice from the staff, but mostly I go in, gawk at the wine I can’t afford, and then buy something less expensive(that I still can’t afford). All in all — it’s a brightly lit, clean and friendly liquor store that stocks some interesting stuff, at least as far as wine goes. Worth a visit — I have a feeling that the Marblehead commuters are subsidizing the wine selection…
