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.

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.
