An incredible selection was shocking when walking in the door! They had a solid variety of bottles and even a few allocated bourbons. The location is just off Emory Campus, they are in a stand alone location across from a large grocery strip. Parking is directly in front. Don't let the cages on the windows and doors scare you off. Not sure I would be excited about late night shopping to be honest. I was immediately greeted when walking inside. The bourbon selection was killer! They also offered store picks. Prices were right on suggest retail prices which is rare these days. Loved the old school liquor store vibe. The clerk struck up a conversation and he was so cool. We talked bourbon for a while and he has the knowledge to help customers. I ended up walking out empty handed since I was in from out of town and flying I did not want the hassle. Make no mistake this is a nice store and I certainly would return.

This is a terrific liquor store! Great selection and super friendly staff. I was on a Bourbon Hunt searching for hard to find bottles. DPS had a wonderful selection of excellent bottles. The staff was the best I've encountered anywhere in a long time. They have a full selection of beer, wine and spirits. If you're searching for hard to find bourbon, make sure you look on the wall behind the counter.

Just to start my review with some COVID-19 info (can't wait for this to be dated info): Right now I give them 5-stars because you can just go to the front door, tell them what you want, and they bring it to you and you pay. You never go in the store, and they have hand sanitizer where you pay. They also never touch your credit card, and you don't have to sign. Super minimal contact - love it! Normally, though, it's probably a 4 star place. Solid but not massive selection, and the people who work there are nice. The place itself also doesn't feel dodgy, which some liquor stores do, so I appreciate that.

Just tried them for the first time and wanted to find a liquor store practicing safe contactless shopping. It was easy to maintain taped off 6' distance in line; staff all had masks and so did most/all customers; staff serve you at one of two doorways blocked by tables and they gather your order for you. Will be back.

My fiancee introduced me to Decatur Package Store. When she and her friends were undergrads at Emory, this was their go-to package store for most of their alcoholic beverage needs (and if I recall correctly, it was mostly for wine and spirits; they were fancy college students). Add Decatur Package Store to the list of good package stores I've come across in metro Atlanta. I like this place. This store is located in North Decatur near the intersection of Clairemont Ave and N Decatur Rd. It's less than two miles and about five minutes away from Downtown Decatur. We were headed to Downtown Decatur and wanted to pick up a bottle of wine for a gift, so this store was conveniently-located for us. The folks that work here were friendly and eager to help. I usually like to ask for help when buying a bottle of wine because I'm not an expert, but we didn't need it this time. We let the "Herb's Choices" signs guide us. Herb is the owner (Herb Chereck) and he has recommendations all around the store. He includes detailed and helpful descriptions for his recommendations. We were looking for a value-priced red and ended up going with a 2014 Hook & Ladder Chalk Hill (Sonoma County) Cabernet Sauvignon for $24.99. Herb said it has a "rich aroma of lush, black cherry fruit" and the finish has "soft brambly fruit, ripe tannins and good length." What sold me was the bottom line: "This Cab has excellent fruit and excellent balance." Thank you, Herb. The store was packed to the gills with a diverse and wide array of alcoholic beverages. At the same time, it was really easy for us to find what we wanted. We were in and out in a matter of minutes. There's plenty of free parking.

This place has moderate prices (some other ATL-based chains are a little cheaper) and friendly staff. They leave a little to be desired on their beer selection but their convenient location on Clairmont makes them a go-to for us in the East-East Lake area. Parking is easy too which helps.

It's bourbon hunting season. I popped in to check out their selection. DPS offers a respectable selection with some good store picks. I left without the Whistle Pig Rye pick of theirs, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about it every day since. I had a nice conversation with the owner (presumably). They've got a real passion for their products and are proud. I'm excited to crack my bottle to get a taste for their style in barrels. Cheers!

You might mistake Decatur Package Store as a old-style, limited selection booze shop, unlike the better known outlets such as Green's, Tower or Toco Giant. If so, you'd be wrong. Sure, this place isn't huge but they have a big beer selection including a lot of Belgians and dozens of craft beers. Some beers you might not have seen elsewhere. I picked up a bottle of Saison Dupont - one of my faves - but this one is dry-hopped. I'd not seen that before. Plenty of other booze, too. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they offer a senior (60+) discount of 10% (cash or debit, 7% credit), which they gave me without my asking even though I'm only 59 3/4. :) Prices are on par with other stores. Lots of parking.

I love this store. The staff is so helpful when looking for a certain type of wine and they have a large selection. They always have a good deal going on as well. The cold beer selection is large and they carry some brands that you do not see often. They sell tickets for the Decatur Wine and Beer Festivals. The last time I went, they suggested a whiskey for my husband. They were spot on when I told them his likes and dislikes. The only downside is that it is almost impossible sometimes to make a left out of the parking lot, but it is worth it.

Great liquor store. Cocktail enthusiast's dream. The prices are in line with any other place in town and they have a better selection. They have a whole section of specialty bitters and mixers and a large assortment of high quality liquor at reasonable prices. They even get their own Decatur Package Store special single barrels of Elijah Craig and Elmer T. Lee. The beer selection is large, but not mind blowing. They have plenty of selections to choose from, it just takes third seat to spirits and wine. The good news is any beer drinker (or snob) should be able to find something to make them very happy. Don't get me wrong, nothing to scoff at going on here (even a little), it just (kinda) pales in comparison to the liquor selection. They also have a bunch of wine. Wine snobbery was big for people that are a little older than me (i.e.could legally drink in the 90s) so I'll leave it at that.
