Bottleworks is a boutique shop for beer and wine operating along the same lines as Corks & Kegs and…read moreDe Fles Winkel. It's a great place for folks who live in the Bon Air area and it's not far from major highways, either. It's about a 20-minute drive from downtown Richmond. I stopped in before Yelp Supper Club -- held at an eatery in the same shopping center -- last night to see if they had any cool sours on hand. At this point in my beer-drinking life I know I need to have my Untappd app out when making purchases because I've tried so many varieties. They didn't seem annoyed that I was analyzing each bottle before making any decisions. In fact, both guys working were super friendly, not invasive of my space, and offered great recommendations. I purchased a six-pack of a local raspberry sour to share, as well as a bottle from American Solera. Looking forward to both! Their selection is curated well and they also offer growler fills. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area.

I went to pick up a few bottles of wines for a party. We weren't sure what to get but Phong walked…read moreus through the store, made stellar recommendations and was generally a joy. He told us about the app and hi-lighted some of ways we could make the most of it. PHONG- if you see this thank you for your attention and excellent service!

I visited the store today to use a gift card that was purchased via Amazon by a friend for my…read morebirthday. I later learned that Amazon did not load card which caused a hassle for me trying to rectify the situation. The store staff was so patient and understanding as I stepped out of the line and spent a great deal of time on the phone with Amazon. Cullen was so helpful and gave me 15% off of my purchase and apologized. Although this was not a Total Wine issue, I was grateful at how the staff treated me as I dealt with this ordeal.

Every time I move somewhere all I can do is hope for the best in terms of bottle shops. Namely,…read morethat the owner(s) is actually knowledgeable on craft beer, so that they can consistently order good stuff. I have to say, this place truly knows what it's doing. Since moving here there have been all kinds of crazy top-tier drops: Cantillon, rarer 3F's, Fidens, Trillium, in addition to ongoing deliveries of highly rated beers (you're practically guaranteed to find a handful of beers rated 4.2+ on Untappd any time you walk in here). There's a good mix of local and non-local beers as well. I find it can be detrimental to focus TOO much on local beer. I also think they've nailed the size, both in terms of inventory and physical space, because product seems to move at an ideal pace. I've rarely come across too-old beer, which happens quite often in many beer shops. This is THE place to get beer in the area.

Corks & Kegs has a great selection of beer and wine. The service was also friendly. I visited so I…read morecould pick up some beer. The only downside to me was that their build your own six pack area was pretty weak when I visited. I would have liked to pick up a few different VA beers instead of a 6-pack of one kind. If you are in the area, check this spot out.

Belle & Kitchen Kuisine is a combo kitchen store, gourmet food shop and caterer. On one side you'll…read morefind seasonal kitchen gadgets, table linens, kitchen utensils and other fun stuff. On another side you'll find a selection of Virginia wines, an assortment of fun condiments, sauces, mixes and marinades, decadent chocolates and other gourmet food stuff. I particularly like the "Boozy Olives" they sell that are soaked in vermouth for martinis. In the back, you'll find a kitchen. Belle & Kitchen Kuisine does catering, boxed lunches and just lunch in the store. I once got a sandwich to go and loved that it came with a teeny tiny block of fudge: the perfect ending to a quality meal. The store is also known around Richmond for great gift baskets. They've always got a bunch that are filled with gourmet goodies in the store, or you can pick your own selection of stuff and they'll make one for you. The staff is always eager to help and very friendly. This is a nice, locally owned store.

I was surprised to find this ABC store wasn't on Yelp yet because it's been here for years and is…read morecentrally located. It was pristinely stocked, had a plentiful selection, and the staff was "Absolut"ly friendly and helpful! We were planning a party for a friend. We went in to purchase those tiny little bottles of booze to fill up a piñata (see? even grownups can play this game lol!) so we had to stick with the plastic bottles. The salesclerk came over and assisted us with our selections. The manager told us about the sales, he gave us some recipe ideas and we all had a nice chat while shopping. Check out was a breeze, maybe I should say a "sea breeze". Pop in here for your next hooch hookup...

When I walked in after their remodel, angels sang, a bright light came on and I spun around in circles smiling with happiness as I couldn't believe my eyes. Okay, that's a little dramatic but that's what happened in my head as I've never laid eyes on such a beautiful ABC store! I'm used to the boring aisles with bottles lined up, uncomfortable mirrors so the clerks make sure no one is stealing and pretty much no décor other than some random cardboard advertisements for liquor but NOT THIS PLACE! They had a beautiful set up of seasonal liquor displayed at the entrance. A tasting bar built in. A beautiful display of airplane bottles on one wall and actual décor on the walls that made me want to say "I'LL TAKE ONE OF EVERYTHING!". If that wasn't enough, a salesman asked if I needed help and when they couldn't locate a bottle of pumpkin liqueur that I needed, he called a location down the street and had them hold it for me. Way to go ABC store, now if you renovate all locations like this, I'll be speechless!

They offer wines across a variety of prices for all budgets. They also have multiple coolers of beer also with a assortment of styles, brands and prices. The Virginia wines are organized alphabetically by vineyard name. Bob, the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, The staff has always been friendly They often have wine tastings on Friday nights which gives you the ability to try some new wines before buying It is kind of tight between the aisles so I always feel like I am going to bump into something or even break a bottle when I'm in there hence the 4 star vs 5 They have there own parking lot, which is rare in the neighborhood.

There are parking spots out front, a bus stop, and you can bring your bike inside to shop. ***EXPERIENCE*** I don't come here often, but when I do I usually come for local brews, nightingale ice cream sandwiches, or a bike tune up. I love the little local markets we have all around RVA, and the fact that this one doubles as a bike shop is so cool to me. Their bike shop people are down to earth and really help you with any bike needs/concerns you may have. I'd recommend getting your bike fixed here if you're looking for a place. ***PRICE*** Market goods are a bit on the pricier side (think Whole Foods), but they have local and organic products. And it's always great to support a local shop. I haven't gotten a bike tune up from them in a while, but I remember it feeling like a reasonable price. My partner recently had a chain link replaced and brake tune-up and that came out to $30. ***CONCLUSION*** I love Outpost. It's cute, trendy, and local. It does a beautiful job at combining all things Richmond and bikes under one roof.
