This is an absolute gem in the Rino neighborhood. The folks that work here are super friendly and always nice to chit chat with. While Rino doesn't have a grocery store, this spot has everything to make a banger charcuterie board and of course delish sips to pair with it! They even have fresh bread on the weekends that pairs so well with the tinned fish offerings. The single beer selection is awesome and they are always rotating new items in! This is def a must visit in the neighborhood for goodies. read more

This is a cute wine, beer, spirits and accompany snacks stores in the RiNo neighborhood that is totally not sketchy and lack luster. This is not your Echo or Downing Street Liquors, so no $1 nips here. If you are looking to pick up something for a nice dinner party or for the casa - come here. There are plenty of options from around the world, but don't worry the prices are not outrageous. And on Fridays - they have rotating wine tastings. read more

The young man working at the shop was so helpful. I was led to this destination by a particular wine that I was seeking, Google told me it was "available nearby." And it was! This shop is very clean and chic. Park on the street! A small selection of impeccable wines. read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE this business! Great selection of wines AND appetizers...check 'em out, and join the membership that they have available.

Amazinggggg experience here! New favorite wine & liquor store. The owner was so knowledgeable, friendly and inviting even on Christmas! It was beautifully decorated and had a great, reasonable selection. Tried my first caviar and had a sip of Chardonnay grape sparkling wine as we perused! 10000/10 read more

Very friendly staff in a well stocked store with diverse assortment and the staff gave great recommendations. We got three bottles of wine of which we finished the first tonight. read more

Newest favorite liquor store in town!! It's now a ritual to come here before house parties to stock up on gifts or general alcohol contributions. They specialize in local booze and ALWAYS make excellent recommendations, doesn't matter what wine or spirit you're looking for. I've personally gotten whiskey and gin. Happy to pay a little extra for a unique bottle... surprised at the negative reviews, but people were probably expecting a cheap, grungy liquor store. There's a time and place for that, and it's not Proof. read more

Great selection. Even better now that they expanded! I have found a rare bottle of Bourbon for my husband here. They also often do free wine tastings! Highly recommend read more

Great business-- wonderful selection and the staff were so helpful and friendly! I'll definitely be back!

Small wine selection and very overpriced. Most wines you can get for $20 at any other shop are sold for $31. Really wanted to like this shop but by far the most expensive shop in the area. Would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Proof is an adorable neighborhood wine & spirits store with hand picked options from Jessica, their wonderful Sommelier. She also carefully selects all their beers, liquors, and inexpensive bottles so you're always sure to make an excellent choice. I keep popping in for something quick, but soon plan to stay and relax for a tasting so I can relish in more wonderful stories from the wine makers - This is such a unique and charming wine store, I love it! read more

I want so hard to love this place and sometimes I do, but too often reminded it has a long way to go. Service can be great and then awful. They rotate much of the wine often so likely need help understanding what is in stock. Came in Friday night 9:30 - the only ones in the store, store rep sat at her computer as if we weren't there - awkward. I usually go here because it's in my neighborhood and like supporting local business, but lose the pretense, focus on customer engagement - Argonaut is too tempting. read more

Great experience stocking up on natty wine here. Tara was a huge help! Picked out bottles that I'm really excited to try and learned new things about the winemakers in the process. read more

This might not be the best stop if you're looking to pick up some six packs for a party or some value champagne for mimosas or mixers for a bottle of vodka you've had hanging around. But you might find a decently priced wine that you haven't seen anywhere else to pair with your dinner along with friendly, informative shopkeepers to assist with recommendations. Proof moved into the neighborhood shortly after Nooch vacated and moved to South Broadway. If you're familiar with the space, it's pretty small and doesn't lend itself to finding exactly what you're looking for, no matter the inhabitant. But if you come in with nothing particular in mind, you may be pleasantly surprised! We were on an impromptu neighborhood bar crawl a few Saturdays ago and decided to stop into our new neighborhood bottle shop. I ended up with three bottles of wine (each about $15) that I'd never seen anywhere else. I would say the small shop is about 2/3 wine and maybe 1/6 each of beer and spirits. The beer cooler, in particular, could use a bit more expansion and I'm hoping the make more use of some of the space in the future. Until then, stop in if you're in the mood for wine and feeling indecisive! read more

Very disappointed in spirit selection. It was very expensive and there were no recognizable brands. I ended up getting a bottle of tequila due to the staff's recommendation but it was quite awful and $10 more than other store around Denver for that brand. I have an full bottle that no one will touch due to taste. This a very small liquor store so if there is something you have in mind I would definitely call ahead to make sure that have it before making the trek. read more

The selection here is small but super well chosen. Wines are interesting, eclectic, focusing on quality importers. Good selection of small production domestic wines too. Color me impressed. It's hard to find a shop in this town with such good taste. I should know since I used to work in the industry. Prices are just right too. Ditto for the beer and liquor selection. Small but effective. read more

This was a lovely stop while I was trying not to freeze in -1F weather. I knew of Proof because they had done appetizer and wine pairings at Cart Driver months back. It was the night before NYE, so I decided to stop here on a whim. They have a small selection of wine from your major (and not so major) wine countries along with some states. On the opposite side you can find amaros, tequilas and more. Liz helped me fine a nice champagne that we enjoyed the following evening. read more

Wonderful selection and service. Liz has excellent taste and I love trying her recommendations. It's wonderful to have such a gem in the neighborhood. read more

Quaint little neighborhood shop. A bit pricey relative to the big boxes but it's local. Well curated wine, beer and liquor collections. Liz is the ! read more

Delicious and expertly picked selection of wine, beer & spirits. Liz will help you find exactly what you're looking for while providing unique creative suggestions in your price range! Shopping at Proof will make you a much classier and interesting drinker. read more

Amazing wine shop! Also carry great liquor, sake, and beer. Really cute, so happy to have it in my neighborhood! Staff is always very friendly and knowledgable... Couldn't recommend it more highly read more

Small but well curated! Liz and staff are awesome and ready to assist!! So happy to have them in the neighborhood. Let them know what you want, I'm sure they will do their best to get it for you. read more

Small shop, with well selected, unique liquors. Liz is extremely knowledgeable about the products she carries and is able to expertly assist in selecting the perfect wine. It is obvious that she takes incredible pride in what she does and in the quality of her shop. So glad to have Proof in our neighborhood! read more

Hands down one of the best wine shopping experiences in Denver. From Denver, but having lived in California for many years prior to my return, I had missed that small wine shop experienced I used to get in Los Angeles, Mendocino, The Bay, and now, here in Denver. Beautifully curated selected of wines and liquors, customer service is absolutely off the charts. Receptive, knowledgeable, and small-town friendly. This now my go to for small vinyard wines. read more

Incredibly knowledgeable. I stepped in while in the area on business to grab a bottle of wine for dinner. They did not have the wine I was looking for but she recommended some ones similar that were fantastic. Great place to go if you want to broaden your horizons. read more

This is a great store ! They manage fit a great selection of booze as well as high quality bitters and mixers into a quaint cornerstore locale. I met one of the owners and she was awesome and the other employees I have met were super sweet and knowledgeable. They have options for (almost ;) any budget without sacrificing quality. read more

Found this place on yelp! I'm only visiting for the weekend but my friend lives right around the corner and says this will be her new stop for liquor and wine! Liz is awesome and friendly, she will help you find what you're looking for! read more

Great selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff. A perfect shop for the neighborhood!

Best liquor store in town! Liz is awesome, very nice and super helpful! Really nice inside and a perfect selection. Not too much to get overwhelmed, but definitely quality stuff and a little bit of everything. They even have some all natural simple syrups, like a habenero one for margaritas. Great wines! And it is always good to support a local store like this, especially with such nice workers/owners :) read more

I used to work near here so I'd stop by and try different beers and bottles of wine to bring home. I really like the owner and her unique selection of beer, wine, and spirits. The cocktail glasses they carry are interesting and eclectic, too! For sure stop by if you are in RINO, they have wine tastings on Friday after work you should try out. read more

Love this place. A nice neighborhood spot with a relatively small but very nicely chosen selection of beer and wine. Knowledgable staff and good prices. They often get beers, including some limited releases, from breweries like Bell's, LaCumbre or Fremont, that I don't see everywhere. read more

Great eclectic selection. Helpful friendly people. Coolest vintage glassware in the city!

What an amazing wine and liquor shop. Liz has done an amazing job bringing in delicious wines, beers, and liquors. Love the atmosphere!!

Zero rating. Terrible service at checkout. I had to wait. And wait. And wait. For the staff of 2 to both handle the check out of a couple in front of us who were taking forever. The staff is clueless as to how to get people in and out in any timely fashion. They also have a slim selection. Overall, skip this place and go to the liquor store by black shirt brewery or Mrs B's. There is no "proof" of using their brains at this place. read more
