Reasonable prices, like almost CVS.

I am from Jersey. This is evidenced by how many times I mention that in my reviews, especially from pizza and chain restaurants. Anyway, one things that shocked me was the liquor stores in New York. I think it's a state law but I think it's odd that one can get beer and malt beverages in a drug store, but can't get it at a "liquor store." Huh. Anyway, it was culture shocky to me, but I had to realize that if I wanted alcohol or wine, I had to do it at a liquor store (beer was a different story). Ehrlich's is a hole in the wall on the crappiest corner of the UWS. And I love every inch of it. It's another overpriced liquor store but you will be pleased with the selection there. I especially like that they focus on the "liquor" part of the liquor store and not just wine. I've recently started to mixing my own drinks at home b/c I'm sick of beer, so this place has been helpful. Bacchus, a wine store that was literally across from Broadway, has recently shut down. It seems like Bacchus has poached some of their workers. Now I would never confuse the two, since Bacchus was a higher-end type of place, but they've started to introduce "pours" and wine tastings at this establishment. I always liked Bacchus but now Ehrlich's gives me a more compelling reason to visit. During the hurricane Irene prep, this place was NEVER EVER busy. And they had premade hurricanes (SoCo) and white Russians (Kahlua) for Big Lebowski night. Of course, they told me they didn't carry it -- but they have so much supply that I think they don't even know what they have! (they also didn't have the hurricanes on display but the guy knew what I was looking for). All in all, I love this place. It's my fave liquor store in the neighborhood. And being the hood drunk, I approve of this message.

Nice people, fair selection! I once had a bottle from here that was corked and they immediately let me exchange it, really appreciated! Thank you

Good selection, cheap liquor. What could be wrong with that?
