Newport Spirits

"It's convenient if you aren't driving and find yourself in the Newport pocket of Jersey City. The customer service is good. Selection is lacking and the prices are as high as it gets compared to even other convenience liquor stores."

"Weird experience. I was in there for the first time just looking for a bottle of wine and just had two of the staff standing close to me watching. Didn’t ask to assist or anything. Just stood there watching me. Grabbed what I needed and left quick. Not sure I would choose that store again."

"Avoid this place at all costs.I will give a negative 10 if I can. And I have a video to prove the scam this place is running. I will be calling the police on this place and this person behind the counter specifically. The Hispanic woman behind the counter clearly thinks she is an all seeing higher being. My husband opened the fridge which is at the back of the store- not viable to the front of the store - the bottles were stacked incorrectly by the store, one pack fell from the fridge and 2 bottles from it broke. This lady at the front very rudely asked my husband to pay because it was his fault. Seemed to be a scam she has been running for a while. The good thing was he asked for the video recording to be shown but this woman had reached a point of all god like behavior saying “no I know you broke it - just pay”. For the longest time they refused showing the video but somehow finally did probably because it showed we arent naive. They finally showed the video and It was only when my husband started recording the video being played did the man from the security room start saying “no it wasn’t his fault”. We have it captured in video this woman constantly saying that it is your fault and you dropped the bottles hard. The video clearly showed the incorrect stacking and exactly what had happened. My husband made her apologize because she was wrong and the audacity of this woman to say to him after that “good you defended yourself because a lot of customers lie”. So does that mean this all knowing all seeing woman is going to treat everyone the same? Next this woman should be hearing from some other higher beings thanks to the video I have."

"Between the two of us we probably buy $150-200 of wine here a week. Even with the higher prices and mediocre red wine selection I try to support a local store. I was selecting a bottle on the bottom shelf and there was too much stock jammed up behind it (which wasn't visible). One bottle fell and broke and the manager rolled his eyes and asked me to pay for it. It was a $14 bottle. I hope it was worth my business."
