Route 30 Wine & Liquor Depot — Restaurant in Town of Amsterdam

Welcome to the only place you will ever have to buy liquor ever. These guys every everything! And if they don't, its on its way. The owners are very nice and very knowledgeable about their stock, you could walk in and grab any bottle off the shelf and ask them about it and they will tell you everything you need to know. What if the owners aren't around? Well they have very precise labels that describe the drink, its price, and any minor details you might want to know. They are very keen on checking ID if you even look a bit young, however my old man just don't pass for a teenager now so they don't bother asking him; so if your an older lady or man don't worry about being embarrassed by being ID'd like a kid. The store is always clean, and the product is all well lit and easy to access. Only a few larger and much more expensive bottles are kept under lock and key, so you won't usually have to hassle with asking an employee to get a bottle you want. More then often there will be samples of some of their newest stock inside, which is very nice if you see something that catches your eye but aren't sure about. Don't take my word for it though, head on over and see...

I prefer to come to Route 30 for two reasons. A. They have knowledgeable staff which is quite helpful for novice drinkers like my husband and I. B. They have a bargain wine bin that usually has a suitable cooking wine for my husband to cook with. Thanks to their knowledgeable staff I no longer buy overpriced name brand coffee liqueur as the cheaper lesser known brand is just as good if not better. I had asked them about the booze that was called for in my tiramisu ice cream recipe and they recommended the cheaper coffee liqueur and told me I could skip the second type of alcohol since I personally wouldn't use it for any other recipe. I genuinely appreciate that they were NOT trying to upsell me. The tiramisu ice cream recipe turns out lovely every time I've made...

Am an avid customer for all kinds of liquor. That being said, what is the sense of having a store if you only want certain customers. Don't bother going unless you just want to get kicked out for browsing. They are only interested to anyone with money that will buy right then and there. Broke 'til you get paid? No worries, Forget about explaining any reason otherwise. They will just kick you out because they feel like it rather than listening to anything you have to say. Talk about liquor showing your true self, these guys clearly didn't need to take a shot for that. They'd be happy to show you first hand. Slogan should be excellent customer service to those who buy now. Thank you for your hospitality. Much...
