Best place to buy drinks mixers?

sadarami

I need to but a large quantity of drinks & mixers for a party - where is the best place to go? I have a car so ok to travel out of the neighborhood (but not a costco member so that's out). thanks

I have a Costco account if you need to go.

there is a discount liquor store next to costco and you don't need a membership. They don't carry every brand, but they have decent prices on the stuff they do carry.

Also,the place next to Pathmark on 2nd Ave (near 12th Street)

Costco does not require membership to buy from their liquor store.

excuse me for being ignorant on the subject as I also do not have a Costco card. But Costco here has a hard liquor department?

It's not Costco, just next door. No membership required.

I thought it was part of Costco. It's really cheap-O! Party time! I'm making pink panties for the next thing. Yum!

There's a pretty good (big, good selection, decent prices) liquor store in the Pathmark that's behind Lowe's. Go in the door and to the right, past the Pathmark inner entrance.

Since you have a car, you'll appreciate the parking lot.

MOD

Someone with a car take me!!! Pleeeeeze.

My bf has biked to the store I mentioned He just took 6th Ave to 12th St, then zigged over to 13th or 14th, where the road at that end of Lowe's is. He also took a big backpack

I ended up at Brooklyn Beer & Soda on Washington yesterday, which was good for soda and mixers, although they didn't have everything we needed, but beer was no bargain. Will have to check out the other places. Thanks

The liquor store next to Costco, which is not any part of Costoc, is, OK, very slim pickens, but decent prices.

The best places I've found are Wholesale Wines and Liquors in the City on Broadway and Astor place and Best buy Liquors on Neptune Ave accross the street from Totono's

Liquor stores do not, buy law, sell mixers

really? I've bought mixers at at least a couple of liquor stores in NYC and in other states. Is that new NY law?

brooklynjack

No not new. Might not be all mixers, maybe just carbonated, don't remember exactly. You can't buy beer and in liquor store either

I've never looked for fizzy drinks in the liquor store, but things like Bloody Mary and the like--specific booze mixers, cokes.

They just want to make it hard for us to do one stop shopping for our booze fests!
