Cambridge Spirits

Awesome supply of spirits!! From the playful to the rare and prestige. 15 min parking right in front of the store makes jt super convenient. Really friendly staffer too!!

Great wine choices. Got 5 bottles 4 were great

I always buy wine here because no matter the price point the bottle always ends up being good! Also it's got good variety for such a small store. My mom was able to get gluten-free beer here after she had to cut it out of her diet!

Good selection of beer, and craft beers, however it is off the beaten path and while the selection is good, it never really rotates and is always the same. I wish they had more generic beers such as Miller, Bud, Sam and not mainly craft beers. That being said the liquor selection is top notch and the employees are very knowledgeable. They have some high end, limited bottles and are always happy to find what you want. Great prices as well.

The staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable. Great selection and great prices on Spirits. If you are looking for that rare and difficult to find bottle, chances are they might have them. Next time I have to remember to share a dram with them.

Extremely friendly staff with a great range of delicious affordable wines and rare gems worth the splurge. One of the best curated selections in Boston -- this tiny store hits all the key notes and it's clear each bottle was chosen with care and respect for the wide range of palates and wallets of its patrons.

I love this place! I walked in to buy beer and the next thing I knew I was in the middle of a lively wine tasting, learning from the staff and laughing with the other customers. And there was a whiskey tasting too, although I stopped at wine. Plus they have a great selection of $10-$15 wines. I'll be making this place a regular stop.

Amazing selection, knowledgeable staff, well operated. A superb selection of wine and spirits. Beer selection changes regularly, so you can always try new things. If you are looking for Budwesier or Coors, you will not find it here. But dare to try something new - you won't be disappointed. Does usually carry Sam Adams and Yuengling for domestic lagers.

Not sure who is to take the blame on this, but Yelp has actually failed me a few times during my week long trip in Boston. Walked 15 mins to find out that they have different "temporary hours" than listed on Yelp; they were closed....

Very nice boutique wine store with lots of specialty wines for reasonable price. The owner can really help with recommendations if you ask.

Super friendly staff with a good variety of a lot of different alcohol. Plus they offer get 16oz Sapporos for $1.50. Doesn't get better than that in this economy.

Can't say enough good things about this store! They have an amazing wine, craft beer and artisanal spirit selection that seems to change a little every time I come in, which is quite frequently. Prices are a bit high - if you're looking for a 30 rack of cheap beer or a $6 bottle of wine look elsewhere - but they always have a few affordable options mixed in which I appreciate. The staff is amazing and is always willing to make recommendations or chat about their favorites, their day, anything really :) They host wines tastings every week and other fun little events which is always a pleasant surprise. The best part - this store is SOOO dog friendly. Everyone in there knows my pup by name and she gets one of her favorite bacon treats at check out every time we come in. This is her favorite spot in the neighborhood (mine too!) and she always starts pulling me in from a block away. I'm moving soon and will still be swinging by Kendall square every once and a while to visit this store. Highly recommend!

I really like this place! It's small, but very clean and well laid out. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and liquor. I was able to find something in my price range, but I noticed they had items more affordable and higher end than what I ended up picking. In addition, the staff was friendly and able to make recommendations.

Nice selections of red wine. (I only bought a few bottles of red wine here so far) Friendly staffs. Reasonable price!

Very nice shopkeeper who is quick to assist and work within a budget. Things are a bit hard to find by yourself if you're not particularly erudite when it comes to alcohol like me. Many of the prices are not listed, but don't be afraid to ask. FYI this place is quite fancy, so they don't have a lot of "typical" liquor store brands. Nonetheless, they do have some very affordable wine options around the $12-15 dollar range!

I needed something special as a gift for a wedding I'm missing due to COVID and their website said they had what I was looking for in stock. I called in to see about getting it delivered and they were able to make the delivery happen and include a card with the order. It was a very quick and easy experience, couldn't have been happier!

Charlie, Liz and Katie are incredibly helpful! We needed to make a large order for a wedding and they took all the stress out of the decision-making. They helped select great wines, champagne and liquors in our price range, advised on quantities and handled delivery seamlessly! Plus, they were all incredible to work with and helped answer all our last minutes questions (how many mixers do we need, etc!).

Amazing store right in Kendall. They have tons of local products and craft beers, and even support a wine called "The Oyster" that restores 100 oysters per bottle!

Great place, great people. Always feel welcome here. I enjoy the variety of wine they have and the price points, I always grab a bottle every week or so and I've found some new favorites, and tried things I never thought to try before. I'm sure if you asked for a particular brand or type they would find a way to hook you up. Great place, I hope they stay in Kendall forever.

It's great to have a liquor store in Kendall Square but this would awesome no matter where it was located. Great selection of wine, high end liquor, and craft beer. It's the only place in the area that regularly carries Narragansett Bock. I usually can find an assortment of hard to find bourbons for a reasonable price with friendly and knowledgeable service. *just a note, per MA state law, if you buy liquor, they card everyone in your party.

This is our favorite stop hands down. Charlie is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend going to one of their regular tastings - always great options! And if you do, you'll most likely see one of us or our puppy Blake (see photos), say hi!

Folks here were very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They did not try to steer me toward the more expensive bottles, which I appreciated. Very tidy and pleasant shop. I'll be back.

I want to like this place- really, I do! It's super convenient for me and has a decent selection of wine and beer. The problem I have with this place is that the staff is so completely disinterested in customer service. I come into this store ALL THE TIME and yet they can never even be bothered to acknowledge my presence, let alone ask if I would like any assistance. It is really disheartening. From now on, I'll be purchasing my wine elsewhere.

These guys have been instrumental in my fledgling wine palate. My boyfriend sent me in to get "a good cab", which I knew was a dry red but nothing else aside from knowing how to spell it. The guys inside saw me looking a little lost and pointed me towards some very nice bottles that were a little bit more expensive than I usually go but definitely worthy of the few extra dollars. They're incredibly nice and definitely know what they're talking about. They have a decent craft beer selection and a wall of nice liquor, but their speciality appears to be wine. They curate for quality -- the cheapest beer they have is 'Gansett -- so you might spend a little bit more than you'd spend at the corner store, but it's worth it knowing you walked out with something really good. It's also about 3 minutes' walk from my office, so easy to swing by after work and pick up some wine to go with dinner.

This is my favorite liquor store in the Boston/ Cambridge area. They have an amazing selection of craft brews and spirits, and anything unique that I've tried at bars I can usually find here. Owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, and they also have wine tastings here all the time. I always manage to walk out with something new and exciting to try!

It's a liquor store in Kendall which earns it 4 stars, and the fifth is 'cause they stock tons of great beers, wines and bottles.

They're doing wine tastings, I guess every week, that seem mostly word-of-mouth publicized. I'll confess: I've been two thursdays in a row. First week just one distributor, last week it was two. It's a relatively small shop, but really well curated. I only see the options I'd choose among anyway. It seems a little off the beaten path, but then I found them .. and I wasn't alone! They don't know what I want better than I do, or where every option is exactly when I try to describe what I like. But they have distributors or spend time helping me find wines that I really like, and that's all I can ask for ...

This place is small so they have to make the most out of their shelf space. The staff is always hard at work researching and buying the best tasting beers, wines and spirits. I love that they bring in things that are a bit different and usually locally sourced as far as beers go.

This shop has a really great vibe! It has a great microbrew selection and tons of spirits. The staff is also super helpful and friendly. Overall, it seems to be moderately priced...

Just one of those well-curated liquor stores and wine shops that opens near where you live or where you work if you're lucky.

Cambridge Spirits saves Kendall Square! We've been waiting for this for years and finally got it! Great selection and awesome staff! I always find just what I need in there. Keep up the great job and wine selection!

Great selection of premium wines and spirits. But this place has no customer service at all. To each their own, that might be what they're about. Just a shame cause that place has so much potential if they only had a bit of kindness.

Excellent selection. They definitely know which craft beers to put on the shelf. Only issue is nothing has a price tag on it and I found when I got to the counter it was priced higher than other stores. I don't want to be that person who gets a price check on everything and I also don't like to be surprised at the counter. I would go here more often if there was a little more transparency.

I agree with the previous reviewer re: bad customer service. The staff emanate that they clearly hate their job. One would think a high-end store like this could find people who enjoyed working there.

This place just opened this week and is already one of my faves. It's the only liquor store right in the heart of Kendall Square so I'm sure it will do well. Great selection or craft beer, nice wines and a while wall of great liquor. They seem to pay attention to quality, which is a giant plus. It's wood and metal inside and the lighting is sooooo cool. Seriously go in just to look at how pretty it is. Everyone there seems super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely going to be my new go to place!

I have not had any worse service from a liquor store before! My husband and I purchased wine and other liquor at this store twice, we have to admit that the store is nicely renovated, but the service guys in this store have the worst manner and attitude ever you can expect from a seller! The guy by the cashier not only had a bad attitude, but lied about state law! We bought wines thousands of time in both CT and MA, and were clearly aware of what's the liquor law! The guy insisted on both of us showing our ID and said it's the State law! It's not that I didn't want to show my ID, I actually had it on me. It's just he didn't treat us fairly, as the first time we bought wine from this place only my husband shoed his ID and I was not asked for mine. The guy even shouted "You just have to have your passport on you next time. I would have turned down a lot of wines if they don't all show their IDs!". I'm carrying a foreign accent doesn't mean I don't know the law. OK, if this is your store law, say it, don't lie and say it's the state law. We would never go back, was very disappointed!
