    a wine shop with wine bottles on shelves

    I love the Grape and Ale! This business is local and family owned which is a win in my book. Year after year they consistently provide the best wine selection on the island with unique flavors from all over the world. I found some of my favorite wines right here in this shop. I really enjoy the free wine tastings on Friday night but be sure to grab a bottle of wine on your way out. They recently added a beer area as well with several taps to choose from. It is my understanding they offer beer tastings on Thursday nights as well. They have a ton of craft beer in the cooler which makes for a unique selection unlike your regular ole grocery store. Definitely visit the Grape & Ale if you're in the market for a beverage or a wine tasting experience!

    The Grape & Ale is a wonderful little shop on Oak Island. As its name suggests, you can buy - and taste - both wine and craft beer. It's a cozy, well-stocked space with an entire room of wines below $12, along with a box of discounted closeouts. In the main area, wines are sorted by price levels, the highest on top. Based on the inventory I saw, you'll be able to find a wine to fit any palate and price range. During tastings, things can get a little crowded, so if you're claustrophobic like me, plan to arrive early to miss the heaviest crowds. There's also a lovely outdoor area with a fire pit behind the store that served as a calm oasis during my visit. The owners are knowledgeable, friendly, and host both wine and ale tastings. I believe Thursdays are ale and Fridays are wine, but please call or visit their website to confirm, and to see what adult beverages you'll be sampling. If you're lucky, you'll get to pet Napa, the resident wine dog, during your visit. What a sweetie.

    Amazing place. Wonderful staff and overall vibe. Great selection of beer and wine. Don't skip this place! We stop by every time we visit the area!

    Local business worth supporting. Only Bottle Shop on the Island Fantastic selection of wines. Pretty good revolving beer list, both taps(growlers or pints) and bottles/cans. Covid seating is limited to outdoor tables and masks are required by statute. The service is great. In late July I inquired about 2020 Octoberfest biers, and a few days later they had one of my faves ready for me!

    Burgers and Brews just okay. Too crowded and burgers overcooked. Toppings cheap selection. Don't waste your time. Go to Southport.

    I will not be shopping here anymore. I've never felt so confused in a store like I did at this…read morestore. Items were all over the store. Salsa had three different locations. But, that was not the most disappointing thing about this store. The most sad part was watching employee chatting while customers bag all the bags.

    This is the grocery store I usually come to to get my weekly haul of groceries, or occasionally…read moreI'll go to somewhere like Harris teeter, food lion, or another Lowe's foods. I usually use Lowe's foods to go. I want to give a big shout out to Cathy and Kay, who constantly shop for my orders. Every now and then there will be something missing or something out of date, but it's when a new person is shopping. The inside offers pretty much anything you could ask for in a grocery store. Produce is fresh, deli meat is great, and everything is well stocked. On the other hand bakery items are often at times dry, and every now and then dairy products are expired. Please make sure you take things off the shelves if it is out of date or old. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner and better stocked. Checkout lines move fast, but the self checkout is ridiculous. After you scan an item it'll make you wait for about 10 seconds until it detects you have put that item in the bag, even though you did. Sometimes it will say "Please remove unscanned item from the bagging area" even though you scanned the item. That issue needs to be resolved because it gets on mine and other peoples nerves. Lowe's Foods, there's room for improvement. 3 stars here.
