Riverside Liquor Warehouse at Riverside Plaza in Cortland is the right liquor store for Cortland County if selection and price are your criteria, and they usually are. Five stars for a retail operation that supplies both the casual buyer and the person who actually knows what they're looking for.
The footprint is legitimate warehouse scale, which means the wine selection covers the Finger Lakes correctly — an important thing for a Cortland-area bottle shop given how close the Cayuga and Seneca Lake wine trails are. The spirits section is well-stocked at every price point without the pretense of curation for curation's sake. The beer cooler covers the craft options from CNY breweries alongside the mainstream handles.
Practically: Riverside Plaza is the Clinton Avenue strip that also has Starbucks, Denny's, and the other standard plaza anchors, which makes this a natural stop on the way to or from I-81 for anyone stocking up before a weekend at one of the lakes or heading back from Cortland after any of the things that bring people there. Priced correctly for the market. Worth knowing about.
