The most well organized wine tasting that Ive ever been too. A huge selection and variety of wines and spirits - if you cannot find something that you like then you arent looking hard enough. Very impressed!!
Excellent and extensive selection with a solid 25% discount on cases. This is no frills wine retail but they have it where is counts, with down-to-earth sales people and the willingness to let their customers roam when desired or chat their ears off. Its a bit out of the way, really only a few roads will get you there, but worth the trip. Oh yeah, Pops is also a treasure trove of mature wines from around the world and the prices are easy to digest.
Traditional wholesale and retail large selection on wines and liquors. Knowledgeable expert staff are always there to serve. Superb wine varies both drinkable now and/or purchased for maturity, collection and enjoyment.
Great store. They do some interiors so it gets much better. Staffs are wonderful. We always comes back anytime here with or without occasion. Highly recommended.
Pops has everything, or they can get it for you. Recently renovated, it looks like a high end shop from the Hamptons inside. They often have tastings of different wines and spirits. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Pops is looking great after renovations, with a slicker style and more floorspace, but still retaining their wide (and fairly priced) selection of wines.
Pops Wine & Spirits is the liquor store that all others are judged by. The selection and prices cannot be beaten, and the staff is both knowledgeable and quite helpful. There is a section of special wines and liquors that to me seems like a museum exhibit, and definitely worth taking a look at. Make sure to get added to their mailing list, to get special sale notifications and prices. More than just a liquor store, Pops Wine & Spirits is a destination!
I’ve been a customer here for a very long time. The reason everyone went to pops was because they are loyal and never price gauge. I’ve been on a waiting list for 6 years for a particular bottle that costs under $200. I went in and saw that bottle as well as a few others that were marked up to 10 times the reatail price. After that, I couldn’t even buy a $12 bottle of wine to see if I’m getting ripped off. I decided to buy a cheap bottle of wine and while on line, I heard many people talking about how they won’t last and they’ve lost all trust in pops. It’s really sad that I won’t be shopping here any more.
Great place for spirits of any kind. Large selection and variety. Prices are very reasonable as well. Staff are helpful and friendly.2/2019 Pops was sold to new ownersUnfortunately the new owners are totally out of touch with what made pops so great to begin with. They are putting in new fancy cabinets that nobody really cares about. All the fun about pops is gone.The vodka, gin, tequila sections are literally half of what they used to be. Also, bottle size selection is gone. All the fun cordials and liqueurs are behind the new fancy check out counter! What are you going to to do- stand there and squint to see the selection while people are in line thinking you cut them off? These are liquors that are fun impulse buys. I have no doubt that sales before and after their re-design have tanked. The yearly February wine sale is gone! I would go there to buy cases of wine every year- but no more. Signs everywhere saying they are lowering prices but who cares if you don’t have the selection anymore! They used to always have a line, now only one other person was there beside me. When I talked to my friends about how pops was no longer fun, they said they already stopped going and was shopping elsewhere. I hope the new owners get a clue before they run Pops into the ground!
This place was huge!! They had a nice little tasting area where we got to try a few wines. And so much to choose from it was almost overwhelming. My one complaint was the didnt have Hudson Whiskey.
New owners renovated store, raised prices, reduced selections of lower priced wines and no longer mails coupons.Some bottles are 4 to 5 dollars more than Trader Joes wine shop on 14th St in Manhattan.
Maybe the largest selection of spirits on the south shore of Long Island . A recent beautiful renovation makes it a showplace where one could spend an hour or more browsing. Helpful and friendly staff too.
Great selection, super knowledgeable and helpful staff, but the prices are not very good. You can easily do better locally. But it is the best selection in the area
First time. Clean, organized. Great selection. Friendly staff. Even had a tasting!
Great selection, reasonable on some things, a tad expensive on others. Knowledgeable staff.
Amazing new space. I havent been here in many years and just returned to the area. Nick is retired now but the new store is better than ever and a far cry from the original place I remember from the eighties.
Great, enormous local shop with killer selection, great prices, and helpful, knowledgeable staff. My go-to for wine & liquor even though I live in a different town.
Great place love it very large selection. The place apparently changed hands they do not discount like the previous owners. Since I have found other sources. I miss the old pops
New owners would not let me use two gift certificates on one transaction. Not the case in the past.I told them to try and keep good customers, dont chase them away.
I purchased a bottle of tequila from pops. Five minutes later I went to return because I found it 13 dollars cheaper. They wont give me my money backI will never go in there again
Huge variety of wines & spirits.They offer numerous tastings on the weekends.
Pops is in a transition right now. The new owner has started a complete renovation and the inventory is somewhat low. Common items are still well stocked.
I live in Pennsylvania. The liquor stores are state owned. Not cheap. Some items here, mostly wine, are a little less than the rapacious state owned store. Liquor? Yeah, thanks. Not so much.
Maybe the largest selection in New York period just bought the buildings next door and believable selection. Their salespeople know everything about wine Liquor you name it period they really are experts here.
Best Deals/Pricing around! Also HUGE inventory. You name it, they got it. Cheaper than anywhere else at that!
Great selection and great prices! If they dont have or cant get it....it doesnt exist!
By most accounts, the best wine shop on L.I. Very broad and deep selections, knowledgeable staff. Prices vary, relative to other stores.
It was nice. The staff was nice and gave good suggestions. I was in and out in 10min. Yes I will return again and tell my friends.
Great selection and prices. Staff is always helpful. Best place to buy liquor in town.
I love the selection of wine at pops but the staff not always helpful or particularly friendly. Would shop more often if I felt my business was appreciated.
Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Store is well laid out
Very good service
Wow. What a surprise. What a great selection - I almost thought I was in Manhattan! I had great assistance there too.
Good, but no more twice a year sales and case discounts not as good as years past.
I personally find the wine staff knowledgeable and helpful. I often go in for just one cheap bottle and they never fail to inform me and add to my knowledge of wine.
Great selection, knowledgeable staff, I highly recommend doing your wine shopping here!!
Staff are professional and helpful. Product prices are reasonable and the location is very convenient.

Great place
Surprisingly large selection of everything you can think of! I’m always surprised with the tasting at the back bar, truly an enjoyable experience that won’t break the bank.
The variety is multiple, they have everything. The problem is that if they smell your Spanishness, they think you will steal some bottles of wine. A .... And if there are targets in the row you will be the last one to be attended.
Excellent find everything

2022-05-20Amazing selection of EVERYTHING! Plus good pricing! There is a huge selection of novelty and gift items, regular spirits, and an especially large selection of wines. They also have a good selection of higher end wines and beverages for special occasions. Staff was very friendly and helpful and there was a ton of signage which helps you navigate the categories. A great overall experience!

2022-01-24Great spot, esp. if you like European wines and fine liquors. Pops always has fair prices and by-the-case discounts. In the Rockaways-Long Beach-South Shore area, Pops really cant be beat. The only place we go for wine on a regular basis.

2021-05-15I absolutely adore this place. Everyone is knowledgeable about their selection. The store is well organized. And the friendliness in that place makes you feel like if your family. We could have stayed there all day, and I was with a 6 year old daughter who didnt want to leave because the staff was so friendly. Amazing

2018-12-15Ive been a customer at Pops for 5-6 years now, raving about the selection, honest knowledgeable staff and good prices, I have also brought in many other customers. As someone who buys a lot of wine, Pops always offered fair prices on allocated bottles of whiskey. New ownership decided not to honor those agreements and raised the price of a bottle I bought last year for $135 to $980 this year. I stayed very loyal throughout this year, when I could have purchased wine elsewhere sometimes even for better prices. To make matters worse, they have lost much of their knowledgeable staff. I am no longer a customer.
