There was no luck of the Irish for this liquor store.

A car came barreling through the window of a Long Island booze shop and smashed hundreds of dollars worth of booze — forcing it to close on one of its busiest days.

An elderly couple in a silver sedan drove head on into the Jericho Liquor in New Hyde Park at 12:30 p.m., Nassau County police said.

“I was thinking I don’t know what to do!” said the store owner, Sean Chen.

The car knocked into dozens of bottles which shattered glass all over the store and hood of the car, witness said.

“A lot of bottles were broken, at least $200 in liquor,” said Chen.

He was forced to close on Saint Patrick’s Day, one of the busiest days for liquor sales.

Chen said the driver stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake by accident and he was not issued a summons.
