Spencer & Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants - Downtown Mystic

Friendly staff and very knowledgeable. I had a few questions that were answered perfectly. Got some recommendations and left very happy. Got home opened one of the recommendations of a dessert, wine and it was amazing. Thank you so much.

Found this shop on a recent trip to Mystic. Lots of unique wines I haven't seen before, which I love so I can try something new. I asked the knowledgeable staff for some suggestions based on my preferences, and they picked out a few bottles for me. So far, the wines have been spot on. We will definitely return when we're in the area.

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great selection of smaller production wines, craft beers and spirits! Amaro and bitter section is EPIC! You could spend hours browsing! Definitely make it a point to stop in!

Spencer & Lynn is perhaps the best boutique liquor store I’ve ever set foot in. Jules and her team are real professionals: they go above and beyond merely ringing up items and bagging them—rather, they are subject matter experts in their craft. I had some very pointed questions about rums (local ones, to be precise) and Jules not only made several recommendations but also informed me of these liquors’ historical significance and their ties between New England and the Caribbean. If I ever again find myself in Connecticut I will be certain to visit them in Mystic.

Came in while on vacation with my aunt and 16-year-old sister. The lady with red hair immediately asked to see my minor sister’s ID (??), even after we told her the stuff wasn’t for her. She still refused to sell to us just because we didn’t leave my sister outside. Nowhere on the door does it say you have to be 21 to enter the store, so that was wild. Honestly, it’s kind of embarrassing how rude she was. Not surprised though—seems like every bad review is about her and somehow she still works there. No clue how the shop hasn’t done anything, but I guess they’re cool with losing customers over pointless power trips

We had a delightful experience at Spencer & Lynn in Mystic. The staff helped us select a magnum rosé from the Basque region of Spain—made from the rare Hondarrabi grape—and a crisp Vinho Verde from Portugal, which they kindly chilled for our sunset cruise. We also picked up some truffle potato chips (a perfect pairing!) and left with great intel for a future trip to Block Island. Thoughtful curation, warm service, and local charm—this place is a gem. Highly recommend.

Finally, a craft beer purveyor who knows their stuff and doesn't just sell popular labels. Selection isn't huge, but they'll help you find exactly what you're seeking.

Fantastic wine selection! I browsed the shop with a professional sommelier and was very pleased with their selections. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
