Donovans Liquor

Found redemption center woman rude very unhappy «threatening to shut it down» as if their business does us a favor. Not happy to «refund» you the money you already spent on cans. Then they give you a slip to go to the front of the store to buy their over priced goods (or not) with your redemption. For heavens sake stop your «WINE ing» be thankful you own a business and are working-​just want to recycle and not listen to «your» unhappiness.

The bottle redemption center around back is the reason I stopped in, they would 5 stars. Friendly people working there and quick and easy to drop off get your slip to get paid and get out. Kappys is where I typically shop but there return bottle section is a pain in the butt! Back to Donovan’s, inside the liquor store, very small, very tight aisles and a sad selection of beers available but it seemed the wine section was very good (I went in for beer and am not a wine guy) I noticed the liquor shelves when I was checking out and they seemed skimpy but its possible I missed something. The cost of my case of Octoberfest was $ 29.99 which is over $ 2 more then I pay elsewhere so ill likely only buy from here when I do bottle redemption every few months.

My namesake liquor store (now owned by a very nice Thai couple) is solid and usually has a good range of liquors and beers available, though it doesn’t have the quirky selection of a place like Magnolia Wine in Watertown or Craft Brew Cellar in Belmont.
Good stop if you need a six pack for Pats game or for the weekend.
