Bondi Beach Cellars is a bottle shop that screams Bondi in every sense! It's decorated with…read moregraffiti, the alcohol is set up in a way that it looks like a storage room which adds to the warehouse-chic vibe, and there are plenty of bargains. My favorite thing about this bottle-o is their selection of wines of under $10. Just to the right of the counter, on the bottom shelf you'll find an array of red wines that taste great and cost as much as one drink would at the bar! They have plenty of Jacob's Creek, any of the Shiraz's are nice. They have the same selection with white wines, which you'll find in the fridges on the right. They sell all the best beers and ciders in longneck form, the locals wouldn't have it any other way. The lads that work there add to the authenticity, fresh faced locals that probably skate to and from work. They're always friendly and up for a chat. If you're stumped on what to get, they'll lead you in the right direction.

This place is like the storage room at the end of Indiana Jones where they hide the Ark of the…read moreCovenant, a never-ending warehouse filled with boxes of interesting and arcane stuff. That stuff being the good stuff AKA sweet sweet booze, son. Got a hankering for something short batch and hard to find? They'll have it. Want something to inspire you, something you've never seen or heard of before? They got it. Hell, maybe you're going to Moonlight Cinema and have the booze sorted, but need some deli-style snacks to with it. Yep, sorted. Giant green olives stuffed with fresh chilli, thanks for asking. And oh, the holy land of an independent liquor store! They're getting harder and harder to find these days, nigh impossible really. Normally indies have the feel-good thing going for them, but lack the range to really impress, but ye cats, you could spend weeks in here. If you see a guy with a beard, he probably has. Be a sport and buy him some food then show him where the exit is. Then tell him to pay it forward.

Kemeny's is a grocery store, no Kemeny's is an off licence or is it a chemist oh wait maybe an…read moreorganic food store. Ok it's really hard to know what it's suppose to be but it's basically a bit of all of the above and then some more. The store offers a lot in terms of alcohol. They got s great selection of wines and beers and some quirky party drinks to suit any cocktail party in which you want to impress. They often have suppliers giving out samples here and staff are helpful when it comes to suggesting suitable drink for any occasion. The grocery section is a little random and I don't think it's the kind of store you would likely go to do a weekly shop at because they have limited choices for certain things. They do however offer some unusual snacks and foods and your bound to pick up something every time you go here to try just for the fun. It's a different experience in here and would highly recommend it as an off licence and perhaps good for party snacks otherwise your probably better off making the trip up to Bondi Junction for one of the main stream supermarkets.
