2009 | Best Old-School Liquor Store

We love a wide selection -- particularly when it's of booze -- but the last time we called one of those liquor mega-stores, looking for a particular brand, the guy on the phone sneered, "Look on our Web site," and practically hung up. We'd like our vodka tonic with a twist of customer service, please, so we vowed to stick with an old favorite -- Tops. No, the place doesn't gleam, and we don't see coupons for it in the Sunday paper, but the last time we walked into Tops, a... More »
2008 | Best Place to Buy Agwa

In addition to carrying more than 1,700 wines and 600 beers, Top's has also been staying on top of the latest imported trend drinks. It was one of the first locations to offer absinthe when the lucid, weaker American version was legalized, and it was the first location we found Agwa de Bolivia Coca Leaf Liqueur, weeks before the drink came to the attention of the general public. While the more potent European version of Agwa is still unavailable in the states, Top's carries the American... More »
2007 | BEST BEER SELECTION

From the outside, Tops looks like an ordinary neighborhood booze purveyor, but as soon as you take a stroll down the narrow aisles -- where shelves are stocked high with a jaw-dropping variety of beers from around the world -- you'll understand why beer connoisseurs can't resist this place.First of all, the inventory is divided by regions and countries, so things are easy to find.

While the more potent European version of Agwa is still unavailable in the states, Top's carries the American version at a decent price � around $50 for a liter. And for the uninitiated, the clerks and cashiers at Top's can offer drink tips. We also picked up a free Agwa drink recipe pamphlet at the register. Happy debauchery.

Yeah Top's! My favorite place to buy booze! I just recently went in to buy a vodka flavor that I couldn't find anywhere else, and of course they had it in. The selection is amazing, the employee are always helpful and Taste of Top's next door is a great place to grab a rare drink!
