When you first step into our liquor store, the smell of fresh pastries, bread, and coffee might surprise you if you’re not a regular. For us, it made sense given our love of community and our history of family-owned groceries. Not only that, but it also helps set us apart from spirits, beer, and wine stores: we want you to feel comfortable, ask questions, and browse to your heart’s content. So, why coffee at a liquor store? Learn more below.
A can with seltzer, alcohol, and fruit juice is a recipe for success. But, as with all recipes, the quality of the ingredients can turn something good into something great. It’s why we stock High Noon hard seltzers, teas, and lemonades at our liquor store, located right here in Worcester County. While we’ve got a wide selection of options, including wines, beers, and liquors, we wanted to shine some light on why we think High Noon’s canned cocktails stand out.
Hickey’s has been in business for more than 100 years, making it the oldest liquor store in Worcester County, Massachusetts. We’ve got a lot of history, which we’ve documented through written accounts and photos, just like this one. And while we’ve changed locations throughout the last century, the history, experience, and service have traveled with us to each store.
When it comes to cocktails, you need two things: the right recipe and the right ingredients. Here at Hickey’s Wine & Spirits, we’ve been providing both in Worcester County for more than 100 years!

We hope you enjoy these drinks—and feel free to come into our store for more cocktail ideas and all the fixings you’ll need to make them!
At Hickey’s Liquors, we regularly host tastings where people from Worcester County and beyond can sample the latest and greatest wines, beers, and spirits for free.
