When you first walk past... you're pretty much thinking ye old regular alcohol store, the only…read moredifference is that it's located in Grand Central Station and looks a bit rustic. Upon walking inside, there is a multitude of liquor, beer, wine and mainstream alcohol to be bought. The thing that suprised me, and I don't even drink, I was looking for a present for a house warming... was the array of Whiskey this tiny little shop had. They also provide... maybe a first for Brisbane... a free liquor delivery service to Brisbane CBD and the general metro area... unheard of! They also cater liquor to functions for work and what have you. Staff are really lovely and knowledgeable, and the place has been open for many many years so it holds history... smells a bit of history too... but not in a bad way. The staff also informed me that should I not be able to come into the store, they also have an online champagne gallery which will have a brilliant selection of fine champagne... delivered free! The champagnes aren't that cheap mind you, so I have a feeling they may have incorporated the 'free delivery' price into the price of the alcohol, but either way. This place is where you need to visit. Right next to the bar too. I'll definetely be checking out their online site... i'd never heard of one before!

This boutique bottle shop carries a surprisingly wide range of wines and beers given its small…read moresize. It's handy too being located inside central station. Many times I've caught the train directly after work to a friend's house for dinner or a party and have dropped by here to pick up supplies. The staff here are really helpful. Not only am I ignorant about good wines, I also have a terrible memory for names so I can never remember any good wines I've sampled at restaurants. At Grand Central Cellar, I simply tell the staff my price range and that I'm looking for a red that is sweet, not dry and tastes like blackcurrants. They get it right every time.

1st Choice Liquor superstore is my first choice for stocking up on alcoholic beverages. It's…read moreconveniently located on the corner of Ipswich Road and Oxley Road, so if it's on your way from from work on a Friday, you might want to hit it up and stock up for the weekend. When you walk in it is a bit overwhelming. So much wine, beer and spirits, its a dream place of alcos. I was after a cheap red wine. There is one a like in particular labelled Two Fat Ladies, that I wanted. I walked up and down the aisles searching for it. These aisles were long, so I gave up the search and decided to just asked a staff member where I could find that. He told me that don't stock that brand. I was in shock. I thought this liquor store, being so big and all, would stock it. Unfortunately for me, they don't. Of course, I could try other alternatives, but it wouldn't be the same. Boo. So although this is a liquor superstore, they don't stock everything. But there is a lot of everything else that I'm sure would work out just fine.

As far as bottle shops go, this ones alright. BWS's stock an alright selection of booze and you can…read moreoften find an alright crafty beer or cider. I do prefer to support local shops when I can, but sometimes I need to grab something quickly on my way home and this serves that purpose. I was pleasantly surprised by their range of cider and was happy to find a couple of my favourites (mainly Mercury) at this store. The staff are always pleasant, helpful and knowledgable, which when I'm trying to find something that I haven't tried before, is always good.

Beer? Check. Wine? Check. Spirits? Check. This is a stock standard BWS. Not a huge store, but…read moredefinitely has all the essentials. There's a nice little stock of different beers and ciders in the back right section of the store, and they generally have a special on a carton of cider. Just grabbed a $40 carton of 5 seeds the other day. *sips on said cider* The staff here are quite friendly. When in need of a nip pourer recently the guy came out from behind the counter to take me over to see them and discuss which would best suit my needs. I have not, however, had the same nice attitude from a female staff member in a previous visit. I was simply asking for some help with different beers and whether they have any mixed packs (for QLD beer week no less) and was met with a dismissive look of annoyance. This may have been an unfortunate case of women not being nice to other women. *sigh* Are sisters no longer doing it for themselves? This was a one off though, and maybe we caught her on a bad day. Otherwise this store has everything I need at competitive prices with generally friendly service. Excellent.

Pretty standard for a BWS. Nothing particularly rare or fancy here but it has all the standard…read moreneeds. Decent wine selection for a small liquor store and the prices are usually pretty good. Staff here are quite friendly so that makes visiting this particular location a lot easier! However, if you're looking for a bigger selection with more competitive prices, there's a Dan Murphy's on Airport Drive that would probably be a better bet.

Being partially owned by Coles I've always been a bit wary of Vintage Cellars,…read more(I expected shelves stacked with slabs of VB and 4X.) ....BUT I must say this little store in New Farm has managed to impress the bottle-o snob in me. First up this place is in a pretty handy location if you are planning a night on the town (or about to pay $5 a head for restaurant BYO's!) The space is nicely laid out and the staff are knowledgable and helpful when it comes to best sellers or good food pairings. They are a swell place to go to if you are a wine buff, from a huge range of reds and whites to $250 french champagne. With a range of goods from $15 to $600 there is something for every budget and palate.

The staff are incredibly helpful and the range is pretty good for a smaller liquor store…read more Having the buying power of Coles-Myer behind them, Vintage Cellars have some great lines from successful wineries at bargain prices.

I've reviewed a different Dan Murphy's before, and I'm going to begin with making a similar point…read more Most of these chain places are the same. Dan Murphy's have good prices. You can get cheap, nice wines, as well as imported alcohols at a reasonable price. I like them. What makes this Dan Murphy's special is that it's next to my favourite Woolies. Yes, yes, it's another chain so it's all the same. But it's not, I swear! You want to make a cocktail and need some extra ingredients? Just pop over next door to Woolies and grab them! Opening hours are pretty stock standard for Dan Murphy's but are still good. From 9am every day, to 8pm Mon-Wed, to 9pm Thur-Sat and until 7pm on Sunday. Have a gander. They have a huge range and good prices.

That said, the hours are better than most bottle shops in the suburbs, so it's still handy if you need to nip out late for a bottle of something. It's not the biggest Dan Murphy's I've been in, but it's certainly big enough, with a great range. If you live in the area and need a decent bottle shop to visit, this might be the place for you.

When you talk about a chain store, they're all much of a muchness bar for location and service. So let's get the generic Dan Murphy's stuff done quickly. Generic: They have a fantastic range at fantastic prices. Often wine deals where you buy a case and get them cheaper. Great amount of imported liquor. A lot of things you probably hadn't heard of. If you can't find it here you probably won't find it elsewhere. Location: This Dan Murphy's is okay. It's actually attached to the Hamilton Hotel, so you have to park there to get in. Nothing too special, but if you're coming from the city it is a bit annoying to get to because of Kingsford Smith Drive having a lovely centre island between lanes. There is a set of lights right outside from which you can head in or outbound. Service: Nothing stood out but the guy who served was very nice. Had a bit of a chat and a joke and got the job done well. Sometimes that's all you need!
