Coming from the mecca of all things booze-related in NYC's Greenwich Village, I had fairly low…read moreexpectations of being able to satisfy my obscure liquor needs anywhere else in the world. Honestly, I was spoiled silly being a five-minute walk away from both Warehouse [http://bit.ly/iaR6bx] -and- Astor Wines [http://bit.ly/cxpd0u]. Enter: Gerry's. With its takeaway-esque counter and library shelves full of adult beverage products, I couldn't ask for much more.* I walked in with a list (okay, okay... it was an Evernote doc) full of cocktail recipes and their corresponding components I'd stolen from a half dozen bars and lounges scattered across two continents and walked out with my messenger bag bulging with alcoholic reagents. Don't expect purchases here to be light on the bank account, but if you need a one-stop shop for most base spirits, some tough-to-find liqueurs, or an assortment of mouthwatering bitters, then get thee to Soho and have a wee nosey around this fine establishment! ---- * Well... I -could- ask that they stock Cocchi Americano in the future. Instead, I ended up making modified Vespers using a simpler Lillet Blanc and a few dashes of orange bitters. Hey - you make do with what you have. And I later discovered Selfridges' liquor locker does carry Cocchi Americano, for any other amateur bartenders and bartendresses out there reading this. * Also, I could wish that their credit card reader worked. It's a fortunate thing that I had a hefty wad of cash on hand. No joke about lightening my wallet!

These guys know what they're doing. The selection of beer here comes from across the world, with an…read moreuncanny knack of picking out the very best of beer to be found near and far. There are bottles of excellent local brews Sambrook Wandle and Junction, German alcohol-free beer (the best on the market, in my opinion) Erdinger Alkohol Frei and, (voice aquiver) two bottles from star Danish brewery Mikkeller. Plus a good selection of beer from Belgium, England, Austria, the Czech Republic and more (much of which I didn't recognise), all at reasonable prices. The shop itself is worth a mention too: wood panels everywhere, with the beer bottles presented neatly on shelves. Throw in the friendly service and slow trumpet jazz sountrack playing softly in the background and it's very difficult to leave the shop without buying something. Which considering the quality of the produce on offer here, is no bad thing.

Thank you Crispins for saving halloween! This is one of the few stores in all of London that sells…read morecandy corn. From the outside Crispins looks like your typical 24 hour corner shop. But there is more to this shop than it's handy location (near Chinatown on Shaftesbury Avenue). Check-out their window displays...this is pop-tart central! For a tiny shop, Crispins has a ridiculously large selection of treats imported from the US (pop-tarts, brownie mixes, pancake mixes, runts, mini reese's peanut butter cups and yes Brach's candy corn). Candy corn is not so easy to come by in London, so the fact that they have some and at a semi-reasonable price ( £1.99/bag), this shop is clearly 4 stars in my book.

I am aware as I live nearby and have seen this happen over many months. They lie and say machine isn't working (even when it does as I've used the machine). They tell parcel owners to go elsewhere to drop off packages as they refuse to accept. They likely pocket a monthly fee for pretending to accept EVRI packages, so this is fraudulent behavior.

The name says it all. End of this review…read more Ha ha... I couldn't leave it like that I always have more to say. I love this little store. It is wall to wall alcohol dispensed by a couple of Greek or Middle Eastern (I can't really tell. Ooops!) guys who are always welcoming. The store has the old magical feel of a Diagon Alley wizardry shop. They have an awesome selection of spirits at very reasonable prices. There are also wonderful credit crunch beating deals such as two bottles of wine for £5. My favourite finds are Aperol, awesome Mount Gay rum for £12 and scrumptious Desperado beer. Drinkers Paradise, you are fantastic.

I traveled to London on a quick business trip and hoped to score my beer-loving mister a few brews…read morehe can't find back home. From everything I read, Drinkers Paradise seemed to be THE place in a city where the beer scene hasn't totally caught on yet. But nope, not so much. I admit, it looks really cool to stack your beers against the floor to ceiling windows. And I recognize that London doesn't get all that sunny. But on the day we were there, the sun was beating down, and the bottles were super warm. If my fella has taught me anything about beer, it's that the fastest way to make it go skunky is to leave it in the sun. So unfortunately, though they had lots of the beers I hoped to find, I just couldn't waste the cash.

I was lured into the shop one evening this week by a bottle of rye in the window. -turns out that that was the last rye in house, so I scooped it up. Bourbon was not in short supply, fortunately, so I helped myself to a bottle of Elijah Craig, too. They also carry Buffalo Trace and Woodford. I did not see any Maker's Mark for those of you who love you some Maker's. I would have loved to have seen Blanton's, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm just glad to have found a smattering of good bourbon in this town. SW4, a locally produced gin, was in house as well as Junipero, all the way from foggy San Francisco. They don't, I was told, seem to stock Sipsmith as it seemed to be too costly for them to do so. Bummer. And, as the name would suggest, they do boast quite a lovely selection of single malts. They carry Caol Ila, one of my faves, as well as some of the more usual suspects. -don't get me started on the Asian whiskies. This place is a must-visit destination.

Service is friendly and there is free wifi and a selection of periodicals magazines and daily papers to read while sipping your cup of joe and gazing outside the spacious windows. The staff also seems to speak spanish tho not sure if they are Argentinean, south American or neighbours from Spain...or a combination of above. Great for new mums as there space to do pirouettes with prams and buggies. They have the best coffee and service on the strip.
