Where can I find pretzels near me in Boston?

The Wild Duck is at 86 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02117. We are a liquor store, and alongside wine, beer and spirits we keep a snacks section for the moments when you need something to eat with a drink.

Our shop hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. That makes us a practical stop on an evening when most food shops have already closed.

If you want to check what is on the snacks shelf before you leave home, you can look through our snacks page or ask us in the shop. Stock changes from day to day, so a quick look online is the safest way to plan the trip.

What snacks does The Wild Duck carry?

Our snacks category sits next to the drinks it is meant to go with. One example you can find on our site is Chica De Gallot Pepper Salsa, a good starting point if you want something with a little heat to serve with chips or crackers.

We carry more than 4,500 products in the shop overall, so the snacks sit within a much wider range. That matters if you are shopping for a particular evening, because you can pick up the food and the drinks in one visit instead of making two stops.

When you are looking for a specific snack, browse the category first and then ask us about anything you cannot find. We can tell you what is on the shelf today.

Which drinks go well with pretzels?

Pretzels are salty, a little toasted and often served with mustard, so they suit drinks that are crisp or malty. As general guidance, a clean lager works well because its light body does not compete with the salt, and a malt-forward beer handles the toasted flavor of the dough.

If you prefer wine, a dry sparkling wine is a classic match for salty snacks. The bubbles cut through the salt and refresh the palate between bites.

For something stronger, pretzels also sit comfortably beside a bourbon served neat or over ice. Our bourbon section has a range to choose from. Whatever you choose, drink at a pace that suits you and the occasion.

Can I order snacks for pickup at The Wild Duck?

Yes. We offer pickup, and our pickup hours are slightly longer than our shop hours. You can collect Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and on Sunday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

The full details are on our in-store pickup page. Pickup suits you if you already know what you want and prefer not to spend time browsing the aisles.

Because pickup runs from early morning until late evening, it fits around work and travel. Many people find it useful when they are heading to a gathering and need drinks and food ready in one bag.

Do you deliver snacks to Boston, Cambridge and Brookline?

What can I add to a snack order for a party or a gift?

If you are hosting, a snack order is easy to build into a larger one. Our mixers section covers the non-alcoholic side of a home bar, and the Rokz Bloody Mary Lover Set is a ready-made option if you want a kit for a brunch.

For a gift, a Thank You Card can go in the same order as a bottle and something to eat. If you are choosing for someone else, our holiday gift guide lays out ideas across wine, spirits and beer.
