Reviews of Porter Square Wine & Spirits (Winery)

Nathan Guevremont

The selection is very good, but the prices are high even for the area

Sarah Kramer

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Good selection of sake.

Jason Garrabrant

Great selection for beer. They are always getting new and good stuff in. Pretty good wine selection too, though I find the wine itself is hit or miss, meaning some wine end up being turned so I suspect the wine is not sure properly perhaps.

Dan Carp

Not a huge beer selection, but friendly enough staff and reasonable prices. Convenient place to stop when needing liquor in the Porter Square area and not wanting to fight for street parking.

Derek Hawes

Decent selection, you won't find everything though, especially when it comes to beer. Staff is helpful though and willing to chat a bit if you have questions.

Allie A.

Great selection.

Matthew Coleman

They have good liquor

Addie West

This shop has a new manager and the place is vastly improved. The selection is amazing. You'll find things here that you can't find anywhere else. The staff is very knowledgable and super friendly. The store does tastings all the time. My go to place.

This is more than your local wine and spirt store! They have a very large selection of craft beers, from sours to IPA’s (always check out the board above the coolers) as well as your wines and liquors. On most weekends there is some sort of tasting going on so you can try new things before you buy them in the store. Their staff is what really makes this store, from their recommendations on wines to their friendly personalities, you always feel welcome here.

I goto school in the area. Firstly, A+ music choices with the a range from indie rock to foreign folk music. The staff is friendly and helpful; when asking for recommendations if one employee doesn't have the knowledge to help you they go out of their way to redirect you to an employee who does or do a quick lookup on their phone or computer to fill in the blanks. The only negative interactions I've had at the store is when I asked to speak to the wine buyer and had to wait twenty minutes, before I finally gave up waiting and left after making my purchase. On another visit while being rung out I overheard a wine rep asking the cashier to see the wine buyer and very obviously being agitated that she wasn't around (again?). It's nice to know she doesn't just ignore customers. Great variety in every section--sometimes a little overwhelming though lol Edit: Carol, I appreciate the offer to speak in person, but it isn't necessary. These are the circumstances that lead to my review: I asked to speak with you and was told you were in the office, the cashier paged you and said a customer would like to speak to you. Twenty minutes later you were still in the office and I left, luckily the cashier ended up able to answer some of my questions. I understand it's impossible for anyone to be at the store 24/7, but you were at the store. I've come into the store since and waited in, an albeit short, line with one cashier, while you were preoccupied at a computer. Everyone else has put prior tasks on hold to offer help. I won't be introducing myself during future visits; I'm happy with the service I receive from other employees and management that make themselves available. Thank you and have a good day.

Decent beer selection. A bit small and busy gets crowed often

(Translated by Google) In the area, I think it is a class of liquor stores with a good assortment. There is also a feeling of cleanliness in the shop. Although there is some, Japanese sake such as sake is left. (Original) 界隈では品揃えが良い部類の酒屋さんだと思います。お店に清潔感もあります。若干ではありますが、日本酒など日本のお酒が置いてあります。

Bruce Harris

Great team and positive atmosphere ! Plethora of craft beers to choose from!!

Byron Drury

This is not a discount liquor store, but the prices are still reasonable. What sets Liquor World apart is the selection. They pack a ton of stuff into a small space, but, most importantly, their selection is very well curated. If you want a hard to find bottle of whiskey, mezcal, amaro, absinthe... whatever, this is the place to come. The staff is also knowledgeable and helpful, and they often have great music playing.

Sam Shahin

One the worse Liquor stores I've ever seen. They almost overcharge costumers on everything and some of the staffs are rude!

Torrey Ah-Tye

Pretty good, local place

Manan Thakkar

Nice store, but fairly small and has a very limited selection

Alicia Daniel

The selection is good, but the staff and prices leave a lot to be desired.

Aran Nathanson

Great selection and reasonable prices. The owner is quite knowledgeable about Italian wines.

Bradford Clem

Interesting selection of liquers and wine that haven't seen in other places. Friendly staff, some more knowledgeable than others. Prices are just okay, but was expecting worse for Porter sq.

Vicky Roy

A bit pricey, ok selection, smells like the morning after a party, but convenient location.

Jarrett Taxman

Extremely comprehensive collection and knowledgeable staff, will definitely be my go-to liquor store in Cambridge.

mike black

They were polite and helpful and showed add-ons to my purchase that I really enjoyed

Mike Munsell

Convenient location and great craft beer selection for the relatively small space.

Souvik Mandal

This place have a really good collection of wine within affordable budget.

Evan Moulson

The best prices and one of the best selections of smaller liquor stores in Cambridge and Somerville. The staff is fantastic and I've loved every one of their suggestions if I can't find the thing I came in for.

Axel Ringwood

Great place to get almost anything you need, they'll even order something special of you ask. Not the largest of places but they have plenty of inventory, so I won't knock them on that. I've always been able to find what I need, and when I'm feeling adventurous they always have some weird alcohol available that I'd like. Friendly staff, beer and wine tastings every so often, prob a good idea to call them.

adrienne drenckhahn

Lot of selection and very convenient, but was not for me - difficult to find a good bottle of wine that I liked.

Rebecca J

Always friendly and helpful with recommendations whether you're looking for an introductory taste or specific flavors. Great selection of mead.

Ravindran Sundaram

Usual stock of almost all varieties of liquors, wines etc.. The range included goods from all over the world, almost all levels of needs, including very good quality ones, expensive ones etc..

Gal Lumbroso

Nice staff, good selection of alcohol.

Noah Pestana

Friendly but over priced

Regine Rss

Have an okay selection. More beer n trade wine

Shannon Sweetser

Don't let the generic name 'Liquor World' fool you, this little shop packs a lot of local craft beers into it's limited shelves and fridge space. It also carries a huge selection of wine and liquors on it's packed shelves. After work it can be a mad house, the narrow aisles make it hard to stand around browsing when a line curves around the corner. However, I have to applaud the staff for keeping the line moving swiftly and for keeping their small shop stocked with all matter of libations and liqueurs. Plus, they have quite a hearty selection of artisanal beers, belgian beers, canned craft beer in the back — which is nice if you're hopping on or off the T as it's right up the street.

Ian Swett

Great liquor store for craft beer and liquor in an excellent location in Cambridge, right next to the Porter Square T stop. The quality and selection of both beer and liquor(I've never looked for wine there) is impressive for the smallish space. For example, they have an excellent selection of Lost Abbey beers, which are relatively hard to find in the Boston area. Additionally, when I've been looking for nicer scotches and bourbons, they've had Highland Park 18, Aberlour A'bundh, Angel's Envy Bourbon, and other good choices at prices that are sometimes better than the NH liquor store. Additionally, their service has always been very helpful and nice. And of course the location is really convenient for those who don't have a car or happen to be getting on the T in Porter.

John Montgomery

Great selection of craft spirits, beer, and wine from around the world. The staff is incredibly friendly and always offers their help and expertise.

Paul

Every day is liquor day at liquor world. Great staff, knowledgeable and friendly.

Brandon Kraemer

Interesting shop, well maintained with a warm vibe. Good selection considering their space which is very limited. Staff are low key and friendly.
