This is the biggest shop in the Oddbins chain. It has a large warehouse at the back but a really…read moremassive floor space at the front. The selection of wine is massive with cheap bottles mingling happily with a fine section as well as some beer and cider. The staff here are very attentive and hark back to the Oddbins I used to shop at in the early 90's. These guys are seriously into their wine and love to talk about it. There is always a bustle about the place as they run a large wholesale operation so people whizz about with trolleys loaded with boxes, but will always find time to help you with your wine buys if they can. If you want good wine and decent advice this is the plce to go in leeds. The selection is really excellent and the advice to go with it is always available with special offers always on.

Even though it is a chain it has deals for Chapel Allerton specifically and seems to really know its local market. Last time I passed there were signs outside proclaiming that members of the Chapel Allerton tennis club get a 25% discount and that they had the best range of champagne available in 'Chapel A'. I have never bought champagne but I have picked up some good deals here on fancier wines than the supermarket range and ales.

This handy little shop is somewhat of a chameleon, in so far as it seems to fit several categories…read more It is all at once a post office, bargain booze and newsagents which is perhaps a bizarre mix but it's certainly useful in such a little town as Oakwood. It's quite a small shop but nonetheless I've never seen it particularly heaving, so if you are nipping through and need to post a parcel I can imagine this being a rather modest and simple task - certainly nothing like the hell of using the town post office, that's for sure! They sell all kinds of cheap booze deals, which is great for anyone living locally too. As well as that there are all the snacks, crisps, confectionary, stationary and other related newsy items that you could hope for. My favourite part is their uber, and I mean uber, awesome little sweet bags for £1. You get *loads* of delicious penny sweets in a huge bag for just a quid! Penny-sweet-tastic. The shop on the whole is reasonably friendly, certainly the chap at the counter was nice enough if nothing else. All in all, pretty handy to know about!

However, I will continue to fuel those rumours by my love of this Bargain Booze. Let me put this into perspective. Sometimes you want cheap booze but you also want cheap quality booze. Well this little beauty priovides the two. It's also useful for loads of stuff, getting rid of your letters and stocking up on some alcohol soaking snacks. I love my posh emporiums, I really do. From time to time though Bargain Booze fits the bill and this one especially. Maybe it's because it is en route to several of my friends houses or maybe it's because I actually am a tramp. Oh well, tramps these days have way too much access to the internet. I'll go find a dog to worry and some people to scare now but first up I'll get myself a fine bottle of red or even meths if I'm pushing the boat out. In all seriousness though this is a good stop off joint.

This is sad state of affairs, as beer is in truth a more exciting, more wildly varying beverage that manages to remain as masculine as possible. Beer Ritz (laaavely play on words isn't it) is an absolute haven for beer lovers. With what seems like millions of varieties from all corners of the globe, beer taps on the counter and hugely knowledgeable and friendly staff, it is the stuff dreams are made of. A trip here makes your evening in with the boys all the more cultured (and lethal on some occasions) and is definitely worth it.

Whenever you enter this shop, day or night, weekday or weekend, it is likely to be full of students stocking up on some of the bargain deals which apply to beer, wine and spirits. However, this is more than just a Bargain Booze styled offie aimed at giving students their cheap fix. It actually stocks a jaw droppingly huge amount of varied spirits, especially vodkas, of which there is an incalculable amount coming from all over the globe. It's hugely popular, not just because of the fact it sells the answer to life's problems with such style and honesty, but also because of how friendly and unique the characters behind the counter are. Brilliant.

I like trying different spirits and here I can try a large selection of different ones from around the world at a snip of the price you'd find in a supermarket or 'rhytham and booze' type joint. I'm a fan of red wine and there's always deals on this here too. It really is always bustling with students stocking up on deals and bargains. If you're having a party and need to stock up then i'd definitely have a look into this place above the other alcohol shops in Leeds. Your purse will thank you for it.
