McAdam Buy-Rite is my regular booze store. They have great prices and a wide-ranging selection of boozes. I was in there the other day and I noticed I felt euphoric. Why? I wondered. Was it because alcohol, the best most powerful medicine, in all the wonderful forms G-d has chosen for it, was all around me? I thought this euphoria might mean that I love alcohol too much, if just being around it could make me high.It was raining outside & there was this bourgie lady talking on her phone staring at the refrigerated wine & she still had her umbrella over her head but she’d begun collapsing it. It was crumpled, afloat but just barely, and she was peering out from under it. Although it looked like she felt pretty private on the phone under the umbrella, everyone else in McAdams Buy-Rite was aware of the interesting scene she was making. Eventually she or her conversation partner decided on a white and she paid and walked back out into the rain, still on the phone. The guy who stocks the shelves watched her through the storefront and announced, “Now she closes the umbrella.” His delivery was perfect.As I interrogated my euphoric feeling a little , I realized that no, the great feeling was not due all the shiny shimmering bottles arrayed all around me; this was the type of glowing reflection I feel when I find myself inside a perfect retail situation. An evolved, mature retail environment. A reasonable, welcoming retail environment. A retail environment that allows a vibe to coalesce around the ancient rite of distribution. The arrangement of the booze sections, the side-by-side doors, one exclusively for entrance, one exclusively for exit, and a generalized feeling of calm happiness. People talk to each other in McAdam Buy-Rite, not in an invasive way, but in a collaborative way, like we’re all collaborating on maintaining the vibe.The emblem of McAdam Buy-Rite is a drunken Irishman, perhaps a bartender, with a rainbow-shape spanning from one of his open arms to the other that says “LIQUOR”. It’s all black and yellow, my favorite color combination. Is it racist agains Irish people? No, because we love this place. Inside, it’s like a better version of St. Patty’s day: no one’s drunk or horrible, nothing’s green, everyone’s quiet and nice and there’s soothing music playing.Also right around the corner is The Nuthouse, New York’s only 24hr hardware store. The Nuthouse, together with McAdam Buy-Rite, makes this area the best appointed in Manhattan.
DO NOT DISCOUNT BASED ON AESTHETICS! This place is a legitimate wine shop with truly knowledgeable staff. One day Im standing in front of the French wines deep in thought (I got distracted) and this kid comes up and asks if I need help. I did, but wasnt sure what I was going to get, so I asked what he thought of this $25 French red I was looking at. Well wasnt I the fool, this kid nailed it and he YES &d me with a suggestion of another wine that I knew and he nailed that one as well. This place is three block further away from my home than the nearest wine shop, so I have to walk a little further, but its worth it. These guy know their grape. BTW: Bonus tip, they usually have a special on large bottles of Vodka if you are ever in need...just sayin.
I love this place!! They carry every bottle you could want, and the guys are so nice. Their prices can’t be beat in NYC.
With a wide selection of cheap liquor, this is a regular stop on my commute. They also have fine wine. If you bring fido, ask for a dog biscuit at the checkout counter.
Very personable staff, good selection and reasonable prices. Ive been a regular there for 5 years, its my favorite NYC liquor store.
The only reasonable price liquor store in that area.. worth walking the long blocks.. they also give out doggie treats if you bring your dog inside.
The selection of local wines is impressive. This place carries Whitecliff Vineyards and other wines from the Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley, and Long Island AVAs.
Best selection and best prices in town. Check your mail. ...10% coupons are great if you order a lot. They deliver locally on bigger orders.
Nice selection of whiskey & scotch
Good prices on some things, not amazing service but they are a discount liquor store, what can you expect?
Local liquor store with limited selection. I usually go to whare house for liquor where there are broad selection with cheaper price than local stores. This place is convenient, but their selection is relatively limited for me.
Avoid. These guys blatantly rip you off. Try the much better priced liquor store on 3rd and 32nd.
The original Bur Rite has good inventory and prices. They do Buy Rite and so will you
Great prices and monthly wine specials for $3.99. Fast delivery service.
Excellent selection, great service, low prices. Best liquor store in Manhattan.
My go to store. Nice selection of both wines and spirits.
This establishment has been my go to place for liquor and wine for the last 20 years so I definitely recommend it everyone.
Fair prices for hard to find whiskey, when they have it in stock.

2022-06-06Staff didnt acknowledge my entrance, nor asked if I need any help. They literally said nothing to me at all my whole time browsing and paying for my items.They took my money, without even so much as a thank you...or have a nice day! They didnt even tell me the amount I owed. I had to look at the register to see my balance due. Poor customer service... I wont be back.

2017-12-31Love Buy-Rite. Small store with a great selection and reasonable prices for the city. You can find surprises like Yamazaki whiskey at times. Friendly and helpful staff and frequent free samples of new products.
