BLANCHARDS LIQUORS

The Allston location of BLANCHARDS LIQUORS has long battled with its neighbor Marty’s Liquors for the hearts and minds of shared customers. No more. Now that Marty’s has shut its doors, Blanchards is free to reign supreme — and deservedly so. It stocks an impressive selection of wine and spirits, including Absolut Boston— surprisingly hard to find in the city — and is the undisputed king keg provider for Rock City denizens.
