As for the shop itself: they have a good range, certainly as far as the beer and wine goes, and the prices are pretty standard, maybe even on the cheap side considering the area. What makes this place so appealing is the service. I have been coming here for years and the guys who work here have never been anything less than friendly and welcoming. The same can't be said for all alcohol sellers (probably something to do with their clientele), so it's something to be appreciated when you find it.

The best part is the handy location in town especially if you are going up towards Albert Park. I think there are a few hostels around the area too whose backpackers probably patronize this shop quite a bit.

I have two places that I like to buy my alcohol in Auckland, this is one of them. I think the main…read morereason is that they always have what I am looking for, no matter how exotic it may seem, and if they don't have it, they offer to order it in for me...incredible! I'm a little bit obsessed at the moment with skull bottle alcohols, e.g. crystal head vodka, and skull tequila. This liquor store has an amazing range of them, even the miniature ones! The service is always very polite and I just love coming here and supporting this wonderful small business.

What is useful is that they have quite a few information tags underneath the stock, with content such as a quote from a magazine review, which can be helpful if you're a bit stuck deciding what you want. They also have a lot of wines, beers and other drinks on special which are all well priced and easy to find as they are marked with a red tag. Beware of the automatic sliding door to the fridge however; a sudden breeze of cold air certainly surprised me a few times as I was wandering around the shop.

Herne Bay Cellars is my local wine shop and it stocks a good range of all varieties of wine, plus…read moreother alcoholic beverages. It's located in the arcade of Jervois Road, so make sure you hunt it down. The staff are, in general, fairly amicable and will help you find a bottle of wine that suits your taste and budget. They often have specials on (like buy 2 for $20) and they also have a loyalty programme that gives you every 10th bottle free. Quite convenient when you shop here regularly! They store your info in the computer so no need to fuss around with stamping cards or having a card in your wallet. They don't always open at their advertised hours... but they sometimes stay open later so I guess I can't complain! A good local store.

Humbling and exciting greets you at the door and they never cease to amaze me with their fabulous cheap prices for a massive range and variety of liquor suited for any occasion. There's always something in stock to help get that party started. Service is always golden, as you are assisted with help to carry your alcohol to your car with no hesitations. I am just one of many local punters who favor Fenchurch over any Liquor Store in Auckland, and rally for their Services/Prices/Welcoming Nature. What ever their vision is, its been going pretty strong since the 80's. Thank you 'Fenchurch' for the amazing memories.
