Place to buy beer in NYC?

July 2, 2008 10:53 AM

Where is a cheap place to buy cases of beer in Manhattan? Not looking for anything special, miller, bud etc.

I have only found 18 packs of beer locally in Murray Hill. Is there a place where you can find reasonably priced 24/30 packs of beer in Manhattan or am I stuck?

I don't know the name, but there is a distributorship up on 207th Street across from the Pathmark that has decent prices.

Is Brooklyn off-limits? Thrifty Beverage Center in Cobble Hill is pretty convenient and has an excellent selection of beer by the keg/case/six/bottle, all at good prices. There's also a place close by, on Pacific St. between Court and Smith, whose name I can't remember.

2nding the Beer and Liquor Wholesale place in Inwood, Manhattan. You can see it from the elevated 1 train stop at 207th street.

plantains cash & carry, [phone], 155 attorney st—this is where many of our neighborhood bars get their supplies, you can walk in off the street and get cases of stuff at the same wholesale price.
