East Village Wines

We were having dinner at Sigiri down the street and it’s BYOB (yes!).
I didn’t see a familiar bottle of wine in sight. BUT did enjoy a french red wine for $ 19.99…and several other bottles of red wine that made for a VERY entertaining dinner. :)

Good selection… Just bought a 375ml bottle of jameson for 17.99. How are they selling a 750ml bottle for 43.99? Do the math folks!

Great selection and nice people who work there. Good prices. If you don’t know what to get, just ask them. They are really helpful.

What a great neighborhood wine store! I am all about having neighborhood spots, where I walk in and they remember your name and treat you like the loyal customer you are! :)
They have a great selection– really well priced wines. They also have two Lambrusco options– which are box excellent (not a lot of stores have decently priced Lambrusco)… They have a members programs. so every 11^th bottle is free (in the price range you have previously purchased).
If you are in the East Vil I highly recommend!

I’m in love with this place for the following reasons:
–The guys who run it are so friendly and cool.
–After buying ten bottles of wine you get one free.
–They have every single white wine available cold.
–They have a reasonable selection of organic wine
–They deliver

This is seriously becoming my hang on Friday nights… a great tasting selection, a wonderful chat with the locals and then a discount of 10% off to any two bottles from the tasting table, a great to way to start the weekend! Be a friend and get the invites here

This place was my neighborhood go to back when the EV was my neighborhood. That was eight years ago. Stopped by today to see how my old buddy Imran was doing.
Seems like he’s doing very well. Remembered my preferences. Had several under $ 15 bottles in the shop that lined up with them. So I ended up carrying bottles of wine home on the subway.
I get home and open the bottle of his so-​called «poor man’s Sancerre». Is it as good as a nice Sancerre? No. Is it a hell of a wine for $ 12? Absolutely!
I’m so happy to see an old friend still on top of his game. And this dude is on top of his game.

Imran, his staff, and the wine selection are everything a perfect neighborhood wine store should be. The guys are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and above all else always interested in having a discussion about their products.
I’ve been frequenting the very social Friday evening wine tastings for 2 years now and have come to know a number of fellow wine & Imran enthusiasts. HE is the reason this place has so many devoted customers — aside from the bottomless pit of wine facts that is his mind he’s a bit of a yenta, always introducing regulars to one another, making sure good conversation is a guarantee!
I really cannot say enough about this hamlet of a wine store. I seriously urge you to come by on any Friday (from 6:30 — 8:30). Try the wines, nibble the cheese, get a treat for your dog, and look for someone sitting down and relaxing with a much fuller plastic cup in their hands. Chances are they’re an employee or a weekly oenophile and always ready for a chat.

Amazing. Prices beat anything you can find online and the owner knew exactly the byob resto we were going afterwards. Um bonus points for having every white/​rose they carry refrigerated in the back.

Good selection of wines at reasonable prices. We picked up a bottle of red here before checking out Taureau for fondue. The sales staff was helpful but not overbearing. They also had a promotion for 10% off Spanish wines while we were there. I’d recommend stopping in. Note that they do not accept Discover Card, however.

super friendly staff that helped me get an awesome yet cheap bottle of prosecco

Great selection of wine and hard liqour with very friendly and knowledgable staff. They also keep a bottle of cold wine, you just have to ask for it.

Sobriety is the first casualty of any apartment party.
Don’t forget the booze, though.
If you’re low on the good stuff, East Village Wines is there for you. Close to the Metro, well-​lit, with efficient staff and — most importantly — a good stock of bottles, this dispensary of liquid justice never disappoints (credit cards accepted).
Besides, if you buy ten bottles, you get one free.

These guys are the best. Smart, funny, well informed and cool. And always good music. They epitomize the historic quirky EV business establishment. Plus they take euros at parity with the dollar, heh.
Prices are reasonable and service amazing. A treasured neighborhood institution.

My favorite gin is Miller’s, which is very hard to find these days. After traveling around, in and (sadly empty-​handed) out of 6 different liquor stores, I made my way over to East Village Wines. They too, did not have Miller’s Gin. But, what they did have was Imran. He asked what I was looking for, I told him my sad tale, he looked up my gin in his book and ordered 2 bottles– one for me, and one to put on his shelf because he trusted my judgment. Just days later I received a call that my gin was in. I promptly picked it up, took it home and toasted to East Village Wines!
Always very helpful above and beyond! :)

East-​Village wines is my local liquor store of choice.
Reasonable prices.
Friendly staff know who you (and your dog) are…
(yes, dog friendly + treats!)
A great neighborhood establishment.

My favorite local liquor store. All the staff is friendly, personable and well educated. Great reasonably priced wine and liquor selection. They’re always willing to answer any of my wine-​idiot questions without laughing too much.
Every friday they host wine tasting and cheeeeeesee! Can’t beat that!
