Little Bottler is my liquor store of choice, for a couple of reasons…read more a) It is conveniently located. b) They sell exactly what I like to drink, and not too much else. That isn't to say they don't have variety, they do, I like to drink a great variety of sobriety-banishing liquids. It's just that they don't have aisles and aisles filled with pretentious wines and champagnes, and stuff that only either the really rich, or the really adventurous alcoholic might drink. They have a variety of spirits, a variety of whiskey/rum, a variety of beer, and a variety of mixed drinks, which is more than enough for me. I can find anything I need at a glance, rather than having to waste precious should-be-drunk-by-now minutes trying to find some Absolut amidst all the freakin' fermented grape juice. All that, AND their prices are fairly low!

I'm so happy to have found this place, and it's right down the road from me!…read more It can be quite pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for: great beer. The staff are super knowledgeable and it's always fun to geek out with other beer lovers over new brews and long awaited imports. You can buy online, but I would definitely recommend going in to try a sample of whatever is on tap that week. Also, they have Growlers and Squealers to fill and take away! Yay!

Beer cartel is great. The staff are knowledgable and friendly and there is a great selection of…read morecraft beers from around Australia and the world. They also have a smaller yet good selection of other alcoholic beverages and some snacks. The growlers and squealer fills that change weekly are a highlight also. It's local for me but worth the drive if you live elsewhere in Sydney or you can hit their online store.

Forget the small liquor shops in Glebe...this is the place. Their selection is 10x better and…read morecheaper but aside from that, they have this huge beer fridge in the back of the store. In the Summer, this place is HEAVEN. I wanted to move in, but had to console myself with taking my time to look at their beer selection instead.

Jim's is close to home and the cheapest bottle-o for miles…read more And Jim's is a very good grog shop. There is a huge range of wine, beer and spirits. Jim's is very very good value. Quite often cheaper than Dan Murphy and they are good guys, except that they sometimes make their Mum look after the shop. They stock stuff you can't get elsewhere like Petersons Chardonnay and Scarborough White Label. There is a good range of aged wine and a comprehensive beer fridge. It was one of the first places in Sydney to stock Little Creatures Pale Ale and thus I have been going back with an unhealthy regularity. Cynthia and Mark's reviews are spot on and I intend to keep supporting Jim's even if it kills me.

Very handy as a bottle shop and general store. Perhaps a tad expensive but that's the way with out…read moreof the way corner shops. Has a seriously good selection of wines though.

Did you ever see the Facebook group "Dan Murphy's is the best thing that's ever happened to me"?…read moreWhile I can't quite relate to that as well as my 18 year old self could, I still get a child-like thrill when I enter the mecca of alcohol, that mother of all bottle shops. Quite simply, the amount and range of products that Dan's got is incredible. Awe-inspiring, if you're also a budding alcoholic. The only problem is that everyone seems to think so.. being that there are only two Dan Murphy's on the Northern Beaches, the Mona Vale store is always choccers. A wait in line is a given, and don't even think about popping in on your way to the doctor's on Friday afternoon. You will wait. Or perhaps, like me, you'll get waylaid by the amazing variety of things in pretty bottles available - every alcoholic beverage you've ever wanted is in Dan Murphy's. Having just returned from overseas, I'm happy to be able to get my Swedish ciders from somewhere back home! And at a bargain - notoriously expensive for alcohol, Australia's bottle shop tradition has been rocked by the introduction of Danny and his many, many mates.

I know that usually a BWS would be nothing to write home about, but the Edgecliff branch really is…read morea cut above the rest. Unlike some other bottle shops where you're wilfully left to your own devices, or if you look under the age of about 30, treated with a palpable level of suspicion, this BWS is great. The staff, as soon as they saw me browsing the beer section with a look of vague bewilderment, came to ask me if I needed any help. I did, of course, and they pointed me in the direction of a mid-price but good quality beer - something I had no idea how to choose. They even carried the chosen 6-pack to the counter for me, showing unnecessary but exemplary service. Their friendliness and helpfulness is widely acknowledged - I was recommended to go to them by a friend who also had found them incredibly nice. She'd managed to drop her newly purchased bottle of wine as soon as she stepped out of the door. The staff at BWS replaced the bottle for her, free of charge. I think such generosity needs to be recognised, and so I'm doing my best to make sure that everyone knows that the Edgecliff BWS is the nicest and best place to buy your beer and wine.

This small bottle shop has one of the best ranges of Spanish wines in Sydney because the owner…read morehappens to be Spanish wine importer, Jose Fernandez. He carries all the usual suspects from 19 of Spain's wine regions: Riojia, Tempranillo, Pedro Jiminez etc, etc. If you're lucky and Jose is in the shop and not in his office upstairs, stay and have a talk with him, he is a fountain of knowledge about Spain and its wines. I met Jose around 15 years ago and became interested in Spanish wines because of him. He has been importing wine since 1974 and he now imports half of all Spanish wine coming into the country. If you want to make your own tapas at home, impress your guests with a selection of products from Broadway Liquor because they have a limited selection of Spanish delicacies, oil, Spanish Mineral Water and Spanish Cider. Pop in and have a look around, you will be surprised at your choice of wines. They also sell Australian and Italian wines, beers and spirits.
