Furnished with characteristic black and white tiles, Sheridan Coopers' shelves are stocked with a wide range of handpicked wide organic, bio-dynamic and sustainable wines from around the world. Not being particularly well-versed in wines, I especially like this shop because the staff are so helpful, so don't worry about getting recommendations. They also hold wine tastings on Saturdays for the true connoisseurs.

The Offie - what a thoughtful name for an off-license. I mean, it's what everyone calls them, but I…read morehave never seen it as the actual name before. That was a great start for me and things just got better. So it's a shop full to the brim with alcohol - one doth not protest. This however, is nothing new for an off-license, but where The Offie succeeds in not being just another off-license is the fact that they offer a great range of alcoholic beverages from all over the globe. This means that if you actually enjoy the taste of alcohol rather than simply using it for its ill-gotten gains, you are able to revel in the great selection. For me this meant Asahi the Japanese beer: not so rare, but nice to see nevertheless. My Canadian friend was very shocked to see Canadian ginger beer and lagers that he'd actually travelled all the way to London to get. And my other friend who introduced us to The Offie was there for the Lebanese beers. If you're an astute alcohol consumer, or you're missing a taste from home, check out The Offie. You might find something old, something new, something hopefully not borrowed, but maybe something blue!

To be honest I thought this place was alright, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. Perhaps this is…read morebecause I went into the Offie, just after I had gone into Red, White, Rose, with which I was really impressed by, and so felt a bit let down by the Offie, as it is a bit more of a standard off license. The range of beer is not so far ranging and specialist, it's much more of a deal orientated place, dealing mostly with cans of the usual Strongbow, Stella , Kronenbourg triumvirate. Of course it does have more specialist beers, such as Leffe and Asahi, but these are now the types of beers you can find in your local supermarket anyway. However, to give credit to this place there was some good deals going, such as 70cl of Sambuca for £8.99 and 6 Peroni's for £6 isn't bad either. Smaller selection of Wines and spirits that you might expect for a place called The Offie, but your likely to find what you want for a house party.

Most of the time, convenience stores or corner shops are just a quick means to an end, but The Wine…read moreLodge actually offers a fairly pleasant shopping experience. The friendly staff are more than willing to lend a word of guidance when selecting wine, and it avoids any air of snobbery while still remaining helpful. For those not looking for a bottle of the good stuff, there's still the standard selection of beers, and the prices of your other corner shop items are (in my experience) a decent shade lower than I've been used to in many other such places. I'm almost sad to admit how good this place is, with its clean clear layout and decent size, as the shop next door is often run by exceptionally friendly old lady who is more than happy to chat pleasantly with you. The Wine Lodge is undoubtedly the best stop off point for supplies in the area, and worth visiting if you happen to be in the area for one of the many pubs.

At the wine lodge, they have the best selection of vino from cheap plonk to some really nice top-end bottles and the staff are more than happy to help you decide. On the subject of cheap plonk, the last time I went in there, they had a 2 for 1 offer on Pinot Grigio white and blanched rose for £5. I bought two thinking I was going to be reprimanded but it was excellent and went down really well on all fronts!

Wines from over 20 countries and some more than 50 years old you would think that this place has to…read morebe a bit lad de da if thats how you spell? But, they have made it their mission to take this out of wine drinking so that the masses can try it. They want you to have fun and learn about wine which is great as many places can turn their noses up at people who are not sure what they are doing. Just drop by and see what they can offer as wine drinking often has a bad reputation and I reckon they will probably enthuse you. They offer all sorts of wines and bubbly for all sorts of occasions. Currently, with lots of special offers over the new year period, now would be a good time to stock up for those rainy days. Prices starting from £5 working their way upto £100 per bottle if this highlights the diversity.

Oh Bison Beer! Why have I only just found you!? *sadface*…read more Apparently they have been open for just over a year now and I've walked down East Street soooo many times over that period but completely missed this place. This is my perfect idea of Saturday afternoon shopping! (Sorry Churchill Square). Not only do they stock ALL of my favourite beers/breweries from Beavertown to Cloudwater, Flying Dog to Wild Beer and lots more....they also brew their own which tastes pretty good too! We stocked up and purchased 10 bottles and was given a loyalty card. Every £15 you spend you get a stamp and you get something for free after every 3 stamps which is pretty good going. They also sell Growler's where you can fill it up with their own beer or they have a couple of others on draft too (Cloudwater last time I visited but they change it regularly apparently). The only thing that was a little bit off was the service, the lady was nice enough but she seemed to spend more time helping a guy who walked in asking 'Do you sell any proper beers? As in like Fosters or Carling or something?' Perhaps she realised that he needed a lot more help :) But it would have been nice to chat to her and get her opinion as an expert on perhaps beers that they stock that we've never tried before and/or learn a bit more about their own beer. But she did give me a taste of the latest Cloudwater on draft....and anyone that feeds me Cloudwater is all good in my books. A solid 5 stars for me for the selection of beers and their own brew only, hopefully the service will be 5 star worthy too next time we visit as I can see this place being somewhere that we will be visiting a lot! *happyface*

They've got so many you could have a different one each day of the year. At the end of the shop closest to the front door they had a very welcoming bench, made, we were told with reclaimed timber from Brighton Pier. On the black board at the back were bright yellow messages and illustrations in their signature style. We glugged back the Bison's Beast Street ipa and to me it had an elderflower taste (that's a new one on them). Great little shop with a huge selection of craft beers and a massive crowdfunding campaign. They hope to raise funds to turn an abandoned listed building into an independent pub.

If you're after a newspaper and a pint of milk, Three 2 Four scores on both counts. If you're looking for something hale and hearty however, there are much better late night stores in the area - like Buy 2 Win. A lot of the the brand products like Heinz tomato soup, Ambrosia custard and Mr Kipling cakes seem significantly over-priced whilst the biscuits, bread and tinned food tends to look more cheap and cheerful than appetising. The alcohol and freezer section also veers more towards economy purchasing with flurescent alcopops, giant bottles of cider, four packs of strong beer and frozen ready meals.
