I showed up at 7:50 PM (10 minutes before closing) on 10/7/21. Not my first time coming here (they have an excellent selection of pretty much everything). I was in the mood for one of my favorite bourbons but sadly it was not in stock. I asked one of the employees for a recommendation and he recommended a bottle of Medley Bros. Great Scott! Great recommendation and many thanks! Highly recommend coming here for your adult beverage needs

I know nothing about wine and had to order wine for an art show and Alex made the whole process so easy! Like seriously, I have never had anyone explain things that I didnt understand so clearly ever before.... I know nothing about wine and dont even drink, but Alex gave me a really comprehensive idea of what wines would be good for our purposes and what kinds of people would like them!! Unfortunately we had to downgrade our order a bit last minute because of the gallery but I will remember this place as being super informative and helpful!

Theyll get it for you if you cant find it here. A wonderful wine shop with a wide selection. In addition, the location has a pleasant atmosphere. Aside from wine, they had beers that you were trying to try. The room was also very clean and spacious. Im looking forward to returning to this place.

Great selection of wine and spirits. If you want it its there. Picked up a nice 15 year Scotch and some tequila as gifts for friends. And some Ruby port for home ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ

If there is a better wine store in Manhattan, I haven’t seen or heard of it. The only problem is how much money I spend when I go here. Best selection of both Wine and Liquor that you’ll find in NYC.

Excellent degustation of wine! You have very friendly employees who have spoken with us about Argentine wines. Even if the bottle had not yet opened, we could order glasses of different wines. Outstanding service. Here we were the better able to find Chardonnay and White Zinfandel. If youre looking for good wine, we highly recommend this place!

Love this store. V helpful and knowledgeable staff. Ordering for delivery from Astor (esp on Tuesday’s when they have a sale) is the way to go. I have learned so so much about wine from their monthly mixed cases.

It was a fabulous experience! The waiter who served me with the best wine was friendly, knowledgeable, and makes some really delicious wines. I went home with three bottles! The bar has a gift shop too filled with adorable and affordable things. I can’t wait to go back and taste the sweetness of wine again.

Review №16

The best place in Manhattan for buying wine and spirits. The selection and range is incredible. They have everything you could possibly want with the exception of certain types of bitters, which, due to the bizarre laws governing the state of New York, cannot not be sold in a liquor store.

A fabulous wine shop! I never thought all my favorite wines will me all intact to this place. It was really hard to find such as complete and terrific wine shop like this. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! A five-stars satisfaction rating all the way just for this shop. Job well-done for the accommodations. Kudos!

Enormous selection of wines and spirits, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, and even some barstools and accessories make Astor Wines one of my favorite places to shop! Great prices too!

If you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you should unquestionably pay a visit to this restaurant. Among the wines available are Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The service was also fast, and the price was fair. It is highly recommended!

Delightful place to shop for liquor and wines. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The selections are pretty vast. I was able to find every single thing that I was looking for and at good prices. I dont think anybody would argue that this may be the best liquor store in Manhattan. If you like bourbons, this is your place lol!

This was a wonderful stop during our craft cocktails tour with Brian from Urban Adventures. A fantastic selection of local distilled spirits that you’ll only find here. We found the staff to be super kind when sharing their expertise.

Review №24

Will not take back corked wine. I was not a first time shopper and not looking for a handout. Was told if its open they cant take it back. Not true for any other wine store. I returned the bottle, minus the one glass that had been poured, with the original cork. Standard procedure. And their recommendations are rarely good. This is a wine I am very familiar with and it was bad. Not going back.

Review №25

My favorite spot in this region is this wine store. I always enjoyed the wines they had. Indeed, it was tasty and also affordable. So interesting was the place itself. The wines they showed were so amazing. They were also really organized and tidy. It was very welcoming and fun to speak to the staves. A must-visit shop for wine!

If there is such a thing as a beautiful liquor store this is it. When you step inside it gives you that old prohibition time period.

Review №28

The place could have been really good except for the condescending attitude of the cashier and one sales person. I ordered online 2 bottles and got another when i got there. They didnt look welcoming at all.

My favorite wine shop in the city with huge choice of wine form all over the world. I love their Georgian wine section with a huge variety of amber wines from small producers. There is also a good choice of vodka, whiskey, and other alcoholic drinks as well.

I love going to your shop to drink wine! The choices are unbelievable and the owners are awesome. Your staff was also very responsive every time I asked questions. I love this place so much! They carry every bottle you could want, and the staves are so nice. I totally recommend this spot for wine purchases!

Review №32

Be careful about ordering staff picks….they can be very bad choices. I recently bought Boyd and BlairVodka which was a staff choice. Awful. It smells like perfume and tastes like you are drinking perfume.Normally reliable recommendations can go off base.

Review №33

Always friendly and helpful staff. They usually stock some hard to find spirits and will offer great recommendations. Will also ship to your home for a very reasonable price via FedEx. It’s great they offer this opportunity to bring a few of your favorites home.

Review №34

It is great to have small specialty stores, but Astor is what I wish all wine/spirits shops were like. Such a dependable selection of really quality options. Their wines run the gamut in price points and styles, and the range of liqueurs and spirits is fantastic. Also, is this the best place for Scotch in the city? From my cursory browsing over five years, I believe it may be. Would love to see some more ciders. I can reliably get Aaron Burr here, which is something I do not take for granted, but there are a ton of great things coming out of the Northeast, and it be nice to find them here.

The best wine store in town! Any time Im here for company, I try to visit it. If you need a venue for special events, company or private, thats the place. I love how this wine is handled and how it tastes much better. Im sure Im going to come back and recommend the wine shop to all my mates for their excellent service and decent wine!

I really love the scent of the wine and every time I take a sip of it speaks perfection to me. What a lovely and romantic also the ambiance in the shop. The wrappings of the bottles are such a beauty! The staff has a wide knowledge of wines. I really love this place. It can lessen my stress. Such a perfect place to unwind!

Review №43

I tried to place an order online and they contacted me asking for a front and back photo of my credit card and drivers license. They assured me that no one would ever have access besides qualified employees. To anyone reading this, dont EVER send a business a photo of your credit card. EVER. You know that 3-digit security code on the back, never ever ever let anyone write that down. Its entire purpose is to be a secret that only you as the physical card holder has written down. I just cant support a store that takes such a cavalier attitude towards identity theft / data security.

Excellent service. With Covid, its increasingly hard to shop local and still get exactly what you want. Living far out in Brooklyn without a proper wine emporium, its nice to be able to order specific things from Flatiron and have it delivered the next day. 5 Stars!

Great selection, reasonable prices for location, helpful staff, and well organized. Cant speak to the wine selection but can always find a tasty bottle of bourbon, mezcal, gin or whatever I want for sipping or mixing. Do appreciate the in store recommendations with added descriptions/tasting notes. A library of booze?

Its my 21st birthday today and Im planning to buy some beers and wines, so I drop by in this wine shop near my place. I bought three bottles of sparkling wines and three bottles of red wines. To my surprise, the price was very affordable and worthwhile. They have a wide selection of wine and other spirits which is impressive. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

We spent several months in this town, so I had the opportunity to drop into this wine shop several times, and always left feeling a tad tipsy and better about life. He speaks about a dozen languages, is very knowledgeable, and his motto seems to be that you cant buy anything you havent tried. A must visit!

Review №80

Enormous liquor store (for Manhattan) with very reasonable prices and free delivery in the city if you purchase enough. About half the store is wine but the rum selection and prices are still impressive. There was also a near full lineup of the Indian scotch Amrut, which doesnt exactly have huge distribution around the world. Lots of liquor and wine tastings ongoing on any given day and the staff is helpful, enthusiastic, and know their spirits!

Unbelievably rude staff. Arrived 3 minutes to closing. Politey asked for the store telephone number. Which I’ll need to come back tomorrow for. I asked again to clarify. Person in the photo turned his back on me. I’ll try and update tomorrow after I’ve spoken with a more helpful member of staff. Shame as they’ve been recommended and I’ve travelled from London England.

Many thanks to the staff of Astor Wines & Spirits, especially Marc M., who was extremely helpful in selecting a very special bottle to celebrate my wedding anniversary.Prompt, professional and courteous, he guided me through the process of choosing just the right wine to suit my husbands and my taste.I highly recommend Astor for all of your needs.

I ordered a particular liquor that isnt easily found anywhere in my area and decided to give this place a shot not only because they carried and could ship what I was looking for, but also because of the positive reviews. I have to say Im extremely satisfied with the service I received from Astor Wines & Spirits. They processed my order very quickly, sent it to their shipping partner who got it to me within days of my order (I live closer to NY which is why it was faster). Being able to do all of this so well while Im sure they are very busy at this time really stood out to me. Great packaging which kept the bottles more than secure, and the price was definitely within reason. Ill be ordering again and would recommend them to anyone looking!
