Guy there absolutely knows his stuff. Interesting he was recommending a Dunville whiskey to someone that I bought in a similar store in Belfast that the guy there recommended to me (and their recommendation was correct). This is also near the Whiskey Museum which I recommend too. Hit the museum, then come to this place. You will leave a very happy camper.

I just loved the vibe here and would highly recommend it to all.

Kelly's has served me as my local off-licence for years, and I love this place. The staff are…read morefantastic, the selection is very good, and they offer some great deals. The guys generally pick a selection of wines to put on special in the centre of the floor, generally around the €10 mark, and they change frequently: for example, during the summer, you're likely to find some fruity barbecue wines on offer. Advice is available if, like me, you don't know much about your wines, and they're more than happy to steer you towards value-for-money rather than try to upsell. As a beer man myself, Kelly's is miles better than the other local off-licence. They stock all the usual suspects in an open fridge, but they also have an excellent selection of quality imports such as Flensburger, Baltika, Spaten, etc. They stock some good Irish brews as well, and regularly have five for €10 on some of the good European beers. Better selection, better staff, and good deals. What more could you want? While you could probably find better bargains on mass-produced plonk in Tesco's or similar, these guys have a great selection and know their stuff. As a small local business, they do an outstanding job serving their customers, too. And if you need it, they can sort out your party needs with glass hire, too.

But here I can safely say it without fear of, 'Oh listen to yourself for crying out loud! You are not in an episode of the Hills, you are in a dole queue in cold Dublin.' The place is huge! Maybe I have lived a sheltered life for too long but I was positively giddy to be in a store this big dedicated to booze. Amazing selection, great promotions and they do gift cards and I can say liquor in a safe place.

Drinking can be a vile pastime but when you buy your alcohol in this place it doesn't seem so wicked. First off, the inside of the shop is clean and the floors are polished. Secondly, this business is more than just booze and cigarettes. You can almost call it a newsagents. It has a great selection of newspapers and magazines and sells all the daily staples like milk, bread, butter and juice. Every time I go to the Grapevine there are always some good sales and the shop keeper is available to help. He never follows you around or eyes you suspiciously like in some other places.

Although this establishment is small, their selection of whiskey is quite large and varied. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about what they are selling and, honestly, they couldn't be friendlier. For instance, I was emotionally distraught and conflicted on which whiskey to take home. They offered my wife and I taste test and spoke to us about each bottle and its associated flavor profile. The best was that they didn't try to sell me on anything, it was a genuine conversation. Excellent customer service! Overall, I walked out of there, mission accomplished, with a great experience, two bottles of whiskey, and about five small sample bottles for a little under €200. Side note: they also have a small selection of good cigars if you're in the mood. Enjoy!

Buying alcohol in 'Booze 2 Go' is a peculiar experience. The cashiers are shielded from any form of…read moreinteraction by bulky bulletproof glass. The set-up is far more reminiscent of a high security bank than an off-license. The drink they have to offer is presented within a display cabinet to the right of the shop with all price tags stuck to the front of the bottles. Akin to a bank or post office you drop your money into the drawer at the counter and close the cover that is then towed back to the cashier's side. Having told them your drink order you are then passed it again through the same means of the sliding drawer with the alcohol in a paper bag. This feels very surreptitious, very 'underground' if not moderately corrupt. Of course it's not and all they are doing is protecting themselves against the misconduct of abusive and light-fingered, thieving customers prominent in the centre of Dublin but you can't help but feel faintly nervy by the curious set up. The drinks are cheaper than purchasing them elsewhere with a can of Bulmers priced at €1.35. This however bodes for a narrow stockpile. When I last visited they did not sell Druids and so I was forced to go elsewhere. Booze 2 Go is definitely creditable if we're talking about acquiring low-priced booze, but it couldn't give the impression of being more disreputable if it tried. NB/ Any purchase done by credit/ laser card has to be 12 euros or over.

It was my Mam's birthday last month so I decided to present her with something that she would…read moreappreciate - booze! Not that she is a raging boozer but she does like a tipple or three like her daughter. Yet she suffers from the Irish Mammy syndrome of being unable to treat herself to the finer things in life and in drink. It may taste like diluted piddle, "But jaysus Annie it was only 70c a tin - bargain." "Indeed Mam." I loaded my bag with as many different beers that I could manage. From Belfast Blonde to Dungarven to Brooklyn to San Francisco to Munich and more in between. For such a tiny shop they have a great selection of beer and it was a treat to do a tasting session with the parentals and not feel like we were drinking fizzy chemicals just cause it was cheap. If I can avoid a sore head the next day for some extra €'s then I will.

Recommended this place by Emily C who lives 5 mins around the corner and told they had a great selection of beers I was initially thinking they'd maybe have the odd good craft beer but no no no, upon arrival I was taken into a world of fine fine beers from all over the world - and lots of it! There's a giant fridge in the back with all sorts of American rarities, European amazingness, lots of British craft and even Irish (which I thought was good to try seeing as I was in town - not too bad, needs a few more hops...). The truth is I could have been here all day deciding if I wasn't with my chums and off for dinner so after a quick 5 min chat with the super helpful/extremely knowledgable guy in the back went on my way with my tasty wares! I imagine there's some great wine on offer too if you look for this sort of thing but I was fully in blinkers on mode and went straight for the beer. Next time I'm in town I'll be paying a return visit.
