Duane Reade
“You buy the growler with your choice of beer for $11, then come back to refill it and it NOW only costs $9.”
“A huge beauty section that puts some department stores to shame, and the friendliest, fastest pharmacy staff I've ever encountered also occupies the lower level.”
“I like Duane Reade, you got 24hr openness, Chase ATM, great beer cooler.”

Massive beer selection on the first floor with a draft bar and growerls for sale to take your brew with you. Kind of cool. Downstairs has a fairly large fresh/ frozen food section, as well as normal pharmacy/ drug store products.
Finally, a 24-hour duane reade in the neighborhood. It's always clean and organized. There is even a decent grocery section. Their cosmetic section is very neat and well-stocked. I like! 🙂
You have to go down the escalator for the main store, and come back upstairs to checkout.
PS-They also sell beer!
An Amazing Duane Reade. The BEST I have ever been in and probably will ever walk into. Go there, because you will be surprised to what this place has to offer.
If you live in Williamsburg or anywhere in Brooklyn or NYC, then you might know about the SHIT this place has had to deal with. Across the street is another pharmacy named Kings, which has been there forever and many of the 'hipsters' and residents of Williamsburg hate the fact that a 'big business' has come ACROSS the street from an already existing pharmacy, only to put another pharmacy. However, these people that think Kings is the greatest place in the world, only because they are losing customers, have and probably will never enter Duane Reade across the street. They are stupid and are missing out.
Now to Duane Reade. You want heaven on Earth for a drunk person or person wanting to get drunk? Well this is it. They have beer on tap in the back that you can put into a growler. You buy the growler with your choice of beer for $11, then come back to refill it and it NOW only costs $9. Not too shabby. If you take another five steps to the left, you will find a huge cold room with tons of beer inside. For Brooklyn, the prices of a 6pack weren't too bad (I've noticed buying beer is ridiculously expensive in Williamsburg) with most being about $5-6 for light beers. Now go downstairs. Frozen pizza heaven and pre-made sandwiches.
Within the first few weeks, Duane Reade was literally giving the store away with buy $15 worth and get $5 off another purchase as well as giving away drinks and food. This got me to come in, and everything else got me to stay and come back. I will go to Duane Reade for everything and I mean EVERYTHING.
Kings isn't even good anyway.
This is my go to Duane Reade because I use their pharmacy and it's close to where I live. The store is always organized and I never have any issues finding things. The only problem I can say is that the link for the pharmacy is always long no matter at what time or day I go. This is the only thing I might dislike other than that it is very pleasant.
