There is sooo much to choose from in this liquor store !The selection & the prices are both great.I stopped here on my way back to Canada and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I bombarded one guy with so many questions and he was so patient with me and very knowledgeable. Excellent service !All of the staff made me feel very welcome. I Visited on January 2nd.I'll make sure to stop here again next time I'm in Maine :)

Although they have no control over pricing, they do have control over their attitude. Every single employee I have dealt with has been the absolute best!!! Needed a bunch of nips for an adult egg hunt (it’s Easter) and wanted a specific type for different people. Clerk was not only amazing but felt he was very personable!! Gave me suggestions and I never felt hurried!!! Damon’s Bangor is the best!!!

Showed up at 5:40 for the redemption center. The employee was outside smoking a cigarette and told us they would not service us because they were closing soon. The website should reflect the difference between the store and redemption center. But based on the reviews, we lucked out by not having to go through this place, although we wasted our time driving down.

Overall, they have lots of selection for everything and plenty in stocks. The prices are way better even with the conversion (we are from Canada). It's definitely a good spot to stop if you're looking for alcohol and if you are Canadian, you will notice that there's lots of amazing deals compared to the price down home.

Many selections of beer and liquor but the bottle redemption side is very poor service and bad customer service. Self service machines which is a nightmare and one of the workers was very rude about having to count a few bags of glass, which he did not do and I had to make a drop. I know it’s a rough time for business and workers but no need to be rude to customers, we are all in this struggling country together and just looking to get some extra cash to make ends meet.

Love being able to return my bottles and with no doubt I have a accurate count. 1 thing that is always the same is the employees who are in back with the redemption part. Attitude change would be nice. Not like anyone forced them to work there. But besides them I love the place and they have a huge selection of liquor for any kind of event

Sadly this is a self service location. I did the bags I carried in and didn’t retrieve the rest from my car. It was incredibly time consuming, the machine wouldn’t stop beeping at me, kept kicking bottles off the belt, not reading bar codes, telling me too many bottles, dinging me if my hand went across the imaginary line, just kept dinging at me. I don’t blame them, it in theory seems like a good idea, but I disliked it so much. We won’t be returning & rather donate our bottles then do that again, sorry.

I find all me favorite bonbons here. It's a candy store for those who like good spirits.

Website has inaccurate information. This location is entirely self-service. Will not count your bottles for you, will not take pre-counted bottles. Can't say I blame them there, but it would have been nice to know before I drove 30 minutes there that I was going to spend another hour counting bottles. I asked if I could donate my bottles because I really don't care if I get the 10 bucks from them, I just didn't want to throw them out, I was told they're not accepting drops and that there was a dumpster out back if I didn't want them.

Redemption review - Nope, go somewhere else. No option but to count your own cans using dirty bathtubs. Won't be using Damons again. Rude staff too.

Please explain to me why you can't count the 15 cents first if all the self service machines are being used? Especially when the 15 cents counter has no customers.

Haven't been in the liquor store area, looks all right from outside though. I did get a chance to see the new bottle redemption section. I hate the new self serve system. I personally don't return bottles to handle it myself. After getting instructions on the new setup from the employee there, I grabbed my buckets, walked right out, and went somewhere else. Pulling up to the door was a nightmare too. There were so many holes in the parking lot. You can't drive properly whatsoever without hitting one of those holes. Repaint the parking space lines too.I see what you're going for. It just isn't for me.

Great collection of alcoholic beverages that are ideal for special events. Huge varieties and wide price ranges available. One of the best I have ever seen in the Bangor area. The location is also very Convenient to make a quick stop whenever going for groceries. Snacks also available.

Excellent experience this week with Damon's. I had a large order with special delivery requirements. Packaging was perfect. Everything arrived in great shape. Very reasonable pricing. Great job Damons!

Damon's has one of the largest wine and liquor selections in the area. They have several sections of local Maine products and their staff is incredibly friendly and quick to help if you have any questions or are looking for something specific. They also have plenty of parking and an attached recycling redemption area.

I took 3 bags into the redemption center an they have changed it. You have to do your own bottles now. My lower back is bad, man did it hurt after doing $20.00 worth of bottle. I wont be going back there, I'm not getting paid to count my own bottles.

Always a pleasure shopping here. They usually have it (whatever it is), and if not, they can often order it. I've ordered through them before and got a good price and quick turn-around time. The staff also is quick with solid recommendations, not just arbitrary shelf-pointing for suggestions. Definitely the go-to spirits place for Bangor.

Exceptional addition to Bangor and Brewer. An experienced team is bringing Choice to the area. Our two visits have been an exceptional experience and most rewarding. Great selection, competitive prices and good promotional discounts - just ask. The service is superb to include carrying your purchases to your vehicle.

nowhere does it say self-serve they also didn't mention it when I told them that I had a lot of bags of bottles so I wasted my time driving a half an hour there just to turn around and go to stompers and Holden which I should have done in the first place

Website says they are open till 9 I got there at 5:45 I bring in all four of my bags then the guy says we close at six we don’t have time for you

Outstanding selection of spirits, beers and wines not usually found at other stores. Worth a visit even just to browse but I guarantee you'll walk out with purchases. Staff knowledgeable, so don't be embarrassed to ask questions.

This review is on your redemption center. I went in there and couldn't believe how slow the process is. It's like watching people work in slow motion. I will still buy from you but won't bring my bottles and cans back there.
