When you’re shopping for spirits, national chains may offer quantity, but your local liquor store offers something more meaningful. At Irondequoit Liquor in Rochester, NY, we believe shopping small gives you access to better service, better selection, and a deeper connection to the community. From craft bourbon to small-batch vodka, we’re proud to offer a curated lineup that celebrates the best of both local and national distillers.

Support Local, Drink Local

Choosing a local liquor store isn’t just about convenience—it’s about supporting a business that understands what you love. Our team lives and works in the same neighborhoods as our customers, and we take pride in stocking a wide selection of spirits that reflect Rochester’s tastes and traditions.

When you shop local for spirits, you’ll enjoy:

  • Personalized recommendations from knowledgeable staff
  • Unique small-batch and craft spirits you won’t find at big-box stores
  • A spotlight on New York-made selections, including Iron Smoke, Black Button, Hartman’s, Southern Tier, Uncle Jumbo’s, and more
  • A welcoming environment where your preferences—not sales quotas—guide the conversation
  • The satisfaction of supporting Rochester’s economy with every bottle you buy

Explore New York-Based Craft Spirits

At Irondequoit Liquor, supporting our community goes beyond the checkout—it’s reflected on every shelf. When you shop small, you help us continue to stock big-name favorites and craft spirits made right here in Rochester and across New York State.

Some of our local standouts include:

  • Iron Smoke Distillery: Straight Bourbon, Double Oaked, and ready-to-drink cocktails
