Best Value for Your Money!

by mau1 at Citysearch

Syntoms, you really should send your review to Warehouse management. The ICK below is misinformation. I shop here, Astor and at other full-priced stores. I have been coming to Warehouse SINCE IT OPENED. I have never seen it dirty. Some of the staff who do the stocking are a little rough around the edges, but the sales people usually do know what they are talking about and have never been rude to me or anyone else I have seen. If you need something, ASK TO TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT THE WINE OR LIQUOR YOU WANT. But not the stockboys--they don't know. Whining about narrow aisles is a dead giveaway that Ur from the Burbs. Astor's aisles were pretty narrow before they moved, too. That's why they moved to a bigger space. Warehouse doubled their space when they took over the old restaurant space, but they could still use more. They carry nearly as much variety as Astor does in a fraction of the space, usually for a fraction of the price. Spoiled wine is something else I've never encountered here. But if you mean a "corked" bottle, where the seal didn't work and it tastes "funny", you can bring it back (don't dump it out first--they have to see and smell it) and they will give you a good one. You can also avoid "corked bottles" by buying something decent and not the cheapest wine you can find.

• Pros: Best Value for Your Money

too young to be a bum!!!!

by syntomsboss at Citysearch

the worst place to be is when one of the young, hard face looking staf uses the toilet and comes out from the back,it smells like when onion is soaked in water and left to rot for 30 days, when he comes out he goes to the vodker section and stands,made me want to through up,will never go to the back again>>>>>>>be aware of the young bum,,,

• Pros: ram goat
• Cons: stay away caution

ICK. BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

by objetsperdu at Citysearch

By all means, shop here if you are a complete masochist. You are guaranteed to find:

WRETCHED SERVICE

RUDE, DISGUSTING STAFF

SPOILED WINE WAY TOO OFTEN

FILTHY, NARROW AISLES

NOTHING YOU CAN'T GET DOWN THE STREET

No one needs to be so desperate they can't spend a buck more elsewhere, like at Astor Wines just down Lafayette. If you want good wine selection shop online at PJ Wine and they'll deliver your case for free. The only reason this god-awful place stays in business is the sheer volume of nyu students with their fake id's who know they'll squeeze by.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: too many to list here; see my review
