Kappy’s Fine Wine & Spirits

Extensive selection of beers/​wines/​spirits. Knowledgable staff that are more than happy to help you. My favorite is the older gentleman who went above and beyond to help me find what needed, and even gave me more recommendations beyond what I was looking for. And then there was this one time I was looking at wines and my bag swept a bottle of red and it shattered right below me. I felt so bad but the staff was so very cool about it (guess I’m not the first). Plenty of parking and open late!

The best place in the world, I love coming here just to walk around and see the massive selection. Just always the best prices and value in both wine and liquor to beer. Best part of all they have the bottle return so once you finish your brews return them and get more. Only downside they only let you get 6 dollars worth of bottle return. So count it well.

I had a terrible experience, but they apologized and corrected the situation. My suggestion: if clerks don’t effectively listen, ask for a manager.
This location does have an awesome selection of alcohol.

My bf and I refer to this as the Church of Kappy’s. I DARE you to find something that they don’t have. There’s a huge selection, good prices and friendly staff. It’s tough to go in and not buy a ton of things. We go back quite frequently.

Awesome place to come to and buy alcohol in bulk. One downside is that the spirits are overpriced, so it might be best to get mixers elsewhere.
It’s not easily accessible via train. If you’re preparing for a party, I highly suggest coming here and stocking up!

After being unable to go to my best friend’s birthday outing for his 40^th birthday I knew I had to make up for it somehow. I’m so happy that Kappy’s isn’t too far from my place of employment and their hours are late. My friend is a rather refined drinker, and he loves Scotch.
I found a reasonably priced 17 year old (bottle) for him for his birthday/I’m sorry for being such a corny friend basket. Their aisles stretch far and wide and the other patrons were really helpful with helping me choose a bottle. There weren’t too many associates available, but as I mentioned it was relatively late. Therefore, by and large, Kappy’s is OK in my book.
THANKS guys!

Prices are hard to beat and it is in a central location. What more could you want from a liquor store? The traffic around the location can be heavy, making your trip turn in a much longer one. Also, the store is kept as clean as can be, but the dull smell of a liquor store is omnipresent. You’ll run into some interesting (?) people at Kappy’s, just be prepared for it. With the savings you’ll get on your purchase, it is worth it.

So many types of alcohol! I wish there had been more staff to help us out, as after looking around and seeing the diversity I wanted to know if they had beerlao, and I didn’t see anyone except people at registers who had customers. I looked on my own and could not find it, oh well. Got some great other options!

I love coming here except when Medford and Somerville gets it’s drink on for a holiday. At those times parking is let’s say, «challenging», but with patience you’ll get a spot. Police details at these times help quell any potential incidents. I go there for craft beer. There’s bloody tons of it, all presided over by one of the most decent «chaps» you could meet at a liquor store. Knowledgeable on all things alcoholic, especially his beers, he’s a pleasure to talk to. Whatever you tipple you’re sure to find it. At the weekends the samples are abound and you might go home with a buzz on if you’re not too careful. Just called to check on some Rose Veuve for the lady’s birthday, great customer service, I’ll be stopping by this evening.

Big store with a giant walk in beer freezer. Parking can be a challenge on busy days. Getting in and out is a little tricky. They carry the big 30 packs for the serious drinkers (or those who buy in bulk to save money). The cashiers have always been friendly.

My favorite part about Kappy’s is its manager. He’s the jolly sort, passionate about booze and quick with a suggestion. He generally hangs around the beer/​cider section, and swoops in whenever he overhears you hemming and hawing over what to purchase.
Kappy’s boasts an awesome stock of local brews: Slumbrew (Attic and Eaves, My Better Half, Happy Sol, Island Day); Night Shift (Morph, Whirlpool, Bean Porter, Viva Habanera, Fallen Apple, Taza Stout); Mystic (Melissa, Table Beer, Mystic Saison, Mystic Entropy, Spectral Evidence, Hazy Jane), and Jack’s Abby, to name a few.
Kappy’s is also a fine place for cider lovers to peruse. They always have Bantam (Wunderkin, Rojo and Americain) and Downeast (Original Blend, Winter Blend, Cranberry Blend, and Hard Lemonade), along with other domestic favorites like Angry Orchard and Original Sin.
For pumpkin lovers: they have a whole row of the stuff. For year-​long Shandy fiends, they sell Traveler’s Winter Shady, for your tasting pleasure.
They seem to host a tasting or other such event every day of the week. Follow them on Facebook:
for event news, and for flash sales of rare brews and bottles.
Due to its size, Kappy’s also appears to have great relationships with local breweries. As a result, they are always getting rare, specially made growlers. Jason L and I picked up some sort of alcohol infused ginger beer growler, 15% abv. It was unexpectedly great, and paired well with Billy Boy’s whiskey (also in stock at Kappy’s). Special growlers are often kept in the back. Don’t be shy, and ask an associate if there is anything special available.
All and all, great place to stock up on the good stuff.

This store is great and so inexpensive! You can find almost anything you are looking for here due to the wide selection of beer, wine, cider, and liquor. I’ve been here on a number of occasions but most recently visited on New Year’s Eve. On perhaps their busiest day of the year (there were 3 police details for parking lot traffic alone), the staff still had smiles on their faces, offering to answer my questions and helped me get an item in the back of the refrigerator that I could not reach.
Cashiers were friendly. Keep up the good work running this store!

Huge place with plentiful selection! On NYE they even have people directing traffice in the parking lot. The workers will ask if you need help in the aisle and even give recommendation on wines. Great experience. Only downfall is that it can look a bit more more updated both inside and out. Because I didnt know what to expect looking from the outside.

Great selection, cheap pricing compared to smaller boutiques, constantly stocking, no-​nonsense cashiers. If wine is your focus may not be ideal for you, I wouldnt say they have most specialized kinds of wines but if you have a general idea of your wine needs they do separate by region and general cheap impulse buy cheap types (which is more their flavor) — however they do have deals on wholesale purchases of wine though. Otherwise, it is just a warehouse of no-​frills booze selection.
Their hours are also very generous as well. If youre trying to party — lots of beers, various forms of liquor, and they have a whole nips area for you to no-​pressure peruse.

Who says size doesn’t matter?
Kappy’s owns the trafficked corner of Route 16 and Route 28, attracting frazzled shoppers from the Gateway Center or commuters heading home to Malden. So, y’know, drinkers. Real drinkers.
And boy howdy, will they be able to choose from a massive inventory of all things alcoholic! Local, domestic and imported beers, from singles, bombers and 40s to sixers, cases and kegs, there isn’t a serving size of brew you can’t pick up at Kappy’s.
Wine isn’t a heavy focus, but their selection will appeal to most juicers.
And there’s the liquor. Every cordial, spirit and apéritif present and accounted for, although one would never accuse Kappy of being too independent or craft in their selection. Yes, this means a hefty section dedicated to 99 Bananas and Pinnacle Gummy Whatever. That said, the bourbon bottles are diverse enough to get an aficionado reaching for their tumbler.
Pricewise, Kappy’s kills it, knocking out — or keeping competitive with — most packies. Did I mention the tastings? All the time.

HUGE selection of anything involving Liquor. If you want to find something you never heard of before this is the place to do it. They often have tastings so you can try something before you buy it.

This place is my benchmark as far as good liquor stores go. Done.
They manage to stock not only the expected, jointly for beer (kegs, bottles, cans), wine, and liquor, but also exercise good taste (and consumer awareness) when making their higher price-​point selections (including what’s in the back). What I mean is that the high price-​point items they stock are actually exceptional… not overpriced, average fra-​fra.
The staff knows their shit — if they don’t have it, they know where to find it.
Half a star removed because their parking lot is always a cluster f*ck — those jersey barriers, ugh, just don’t park near them, especially on the Everett side. I’ve seen literally dozens upon dozens of fender benders here over the years.
Other half star removed because the recycling area always smells like a first year dorm at BC. Ick. Ick. Ick.

HUGE! CHEAP! PARKING! Be forwarned their parking lot does seems like the seventh circle of hell and someone might smash into your car since nobody knows how to drive around here.
And their are some scary people around but who cares, you’re buying booze!

Buying some slumbrew… lobstah killah!
They have a great selection of craft beers for cheap! Check out Slumbrew — locally brewed in Somerville and tastes yummy!

I love entertaining at my house on the weekends so I have a fridge stocked with Henekeins, white russians, a variety of smirnoff ice’s, coronas, and my favorite– lime-​a rita’s. Kappy’s has the goods for a lot cheaper than other LQ stores. They always have some sort of alcohol or wine vendor giving out tasty samples of something that I usually end up buying. The staff is generally friendly and laid back (I would be too if I work there & got to constantly use my 5 senses to interact with booze).
The only downfall is sometimes only 2 registers are open and the line moves slower than a race between the turtle and the hare.
