I work down the street from this liquor store. & they stay open a little later which is nice considering I work at bar & get off work after 10pm or so at times. I enjoy the friendly staff there, although I haven't really found a lq store in cap hill/downtown that I have had poor service. They have a pretty solid wine selection & just about enough beer choices for anyone. Liquor is kind of steep if you wanna compare to argonaut & they have never ran a sale EVER as far as I'm concerned so if I'm able to drive I may stop somewhere else! As for the other side convenience store I have not shopped over there but agree with another Yelper that there is dust on the shelves... Makes me never wanna buy and groceries! ;) Overall great customer service! read more

It took more than an hour prepare a bottle of vine to get pick up for DoorDash this place sucks

A true (and literal) Denver cornerstone! They have an incredible selection of DOC and DOCG wines, perfect for anyone who appreciates high-quality Italian vino. Their variety of unique tequilas is impressive, with options you won't find in most places. The prices are fantastic, and the staff is beyond friendly--super knowledgeable and give genuine opinions. Definitely my fav lil liquor store! read more

Watson's - Stables in our household! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Take the extra time and go somewhere else. I frequent this store and have had nothing but bad experiences. The staff (with the exception of one worker) including the manager is always rude and anything but helpful. On top of that, the prices are much higher than anywhere in Denver. Do yourself a favor and being your business elsewhere. read more

Make sure you know what you want or you will be kicked out if you take any longer than 10mins. Very unfriendly staff. They didn't have the liquor I needed so I was looking up a new recipe for a different cocktail and was told "you need to leave". Fun way to end a 9-5 shift! Gotta love people. Won't come here again, despite it being a stone throw away. read more

Great staff, great selection. Folks complaining about this space are your typical Karens. Also, walk in with respect, and leave with respect. You walk in being disrespectful, expect the same in kind. You got a problem? - they will solve it. Just don't be a derk. read more

Please save yourself the trip and do not go here. This was my first time here and I was looking around for what I needed and apparently was taking too long so the guy working was so rude and started accusing me of coming in before and scoping out their prices. I was checking my phone, but not to compare prices, but to check my list of what I needed. So I can see where he'd get the impression I was comparing prices, but as I had tried to explain to him that it was my first time here he just started insisting that he had seen me before and was yelling at me. Another guy came out and I'm not sure if it was the owner or manager or what their roles were but he himself didn't even jump in to do anything. read more

The daytime clerk during the week is incredibly rude and unfriendly. He's thin and probably around 30+. There is no reason to be unkind , especially when i spend lots of money and am ALWAYS friendly. He has very bad energy and i think he enjoys making customers feel unpleasant read more

Prices are a little higher, I can agree with that. But the people that work here are fantastic. I usually stop in to grab a bottle of champagne, tonight I had the first experience of the cork splitting at the bottom and completely exploding all over my house. I went back to buy a new bottle, but brought the original with me (split bottom of the cork still stuck inside) to make sure they could get their money back. These guys work hard and do an amazing job, I fully understand what happened wasn't their mistake. I give y'all 5 stars all day, everyday, keep up the good work! read more

So, sometimes I get cravings for really weird things. Take last night for instance - I was dead set on having a candy soda. (That's what I call sodas that are like grape or orange or other delicious flavors.) After tandem scooter riding up and down Colfax to no avail my lovely boyfriend had the brilliant flash of Watson's. Watson's, for those of you that don't know, has totally foiled Colorado's laws about selling liquor in convenience stores with a simple door. That's right the only thing separating you from your ho-hos and High Life is a simple door in this clever liquor/convenient store. Anyway, I sauntered into the booze side and immediately saw a Welch's Grape, which was what I had initially wanted. The problem was that it was in a plastic bottle rather than glass or a can. I'm very particular with these things. As I began to fear strangulation from Nick I passed through the door to the "grocery" side. They did in fact have candy sodas in cans and so I got one. I also got a box of Count Chocula and a bag of Munchos. Because really, who else sells that stuff. I'm a sucker for novelty. Anyway, the people working here are usually friendly. The patrons are mostly iffy, but always entertaining. And I would have given them 5 stars if half of the food in the grocery section was covered in dust. Check those expiration dates when you come here! read more

Watson's - a box of cereal on a kitchen counter - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Who doesn't love a liquor store and grocery store rolled into one? Talk about a one-stop-shop! Watson's has it all. Great location and decent hours (from what I can remember after a night of drinking) means this totally convenient store is total cool sauce. Not only can you get all the booze and mixers you need but you can pick up party munchies, smokes, Powerball tickets, rubbers...whatever you might need for a fun filled night! My favorite part is the HUGE selection of mini airplane shooters at the front counter. Inexpensive and a great variety makes Richard happy :-) I can't speak for every employee but a few have let me slam my shot right there in the store. Talk about laid back! The staff has always been polite when I've stopped in so be kind and you never know what you might get in return. Watson's if great good stuff. read more

Watson's - a bottle of wine in a knight costume - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Prices are a bit higher (my only gripe) but it's probably for convenience. It's about 2 dollars more for each item in comparison to argonaut (a nearby liquor store) so its worth it when it's closer to you than argonaut. I always walk there so idk about parking. Customer service has always been good for me. They actually ordered a whiskey I requested and it was fully in stock the next time I visited. They allow dogs. They even have items that are for your convenience. Like snacks, nonalcoholic drinks, cups, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. read more

I love Watsons! Great, friendly staff and a pretty expansive collection of options when places like Argonauts are just a bit out of reach. read more

Watson's is fantastic! The guy with the curly hair and the thick accent that works the cash register is really nice. I was so excited when I moved into my new apartment because I could just walk around the corner and buy myself something tasty to drink and grab a quick random snack. I love it! What I find disturbing, however, is that my curly haired friend knows who I am which is sort of scary. Don't get me wrong, I love my booze more than the next person. But I have NEVER considered myself someone who drinks enough to be remembered at a liquor store. Yikes! read more

We stopped here after going to Dazzle for Happy Hour and my sister had a drink that she wanted to recreate. We went to Watson's as it was on our way back to our car. We did find a cool new vodka by Svedka that is a Colada Vodka. We were also looking for McGillicudy's Vanilla Schnapps and they did not carry any type of vanilla schnapps, so we paid and left. The store has a decent variety of alcohol (at least on the liquor side, didn't check out the convenience store aspect), but not a large selection. We left disappointed and had to seek out our specialty alcohol desires elsewhere. As I've passed this place several times throughout the years, now I've been. Can't say I have a desire to go back, but if I'm in the hood and in need of something, I may stop back in. read more

Met the owner my first day when I moved into Via Apartments above the store. He and his employee have treated me with kindness and gratitude each time I come in. I don't need to look further for a supplier of wine and spirits. Watson's is my home store read more

Who can review Dazzle without reviewing Watson's next door? I love the idea of a truly urban grocery-slash-liquor store, although really the liquor store is about 2/3 of the whole place. Whether it's a box of Applejacks and Welch's Grape Soda you crave, or a fine bottle of vino and a cigar, this shop is right in the middle of several bars so you can stop on your way home from wherever. There are some crazies that frequent the place, but that is the case with every public place near Broadway, so what are you gonna do? I can rely on Watson's whether I'm cabbing it home and need a bottle of water, or am leaving a bar early and want to get a little nip of something for a nightcap. read more

This is the best liquor/convenient store. The guys are way friendly. The gals? A bit surly at times. The best part is that I don't even have to leave my building to get whatever liquor/snack/assorted groceries that I need. read more

My neighborhood bodega! If you need something random you may have forgot, and don't want to travel to a grocery store, just pop down and your set. In Cap Hill and not owning a car [by choice], it's my local corner store. read more

This was my first job ever.,... (other than babysitting) I still tell people i was a soda jerk at Watsons. I see a lot has changed, but that place is history, gotta keep it going. I plan on coming back one day with my son, and i want him to experience it just like i did! read more

Watsons has been here forever and seems like they might be closing. I hope not- this place is insanely convenient.

I'm new to the neighborhood and stumbled in for toilet paper. I"ve since stumbled in for wine. From my brief shopping experience I find that they have a decent selection and lower pricepoints. Service is always friendly and value is average. Location is convenient. I'll definitely return. read more

Usually has exactly what I need, will also special order if you are nice and a regular. Staff is always friendly.

The friendly neighborhood liquor store! The guys are the best! Worth noting....the reviewer who complained about the lack of a schnapps flavor should probably go bury herself in a hole. read more

what a rip off! warning they are charging waayyyyyy to much!!! this will be a last resort for sure..

super friendly staff, clean, not terribly expensive, has food, good variety of booze/wine/beer/everything.

The great selection of alcohol is there. As well, as some overpriced food, even for a convenience store. Though the staff, mostly the old woman, can give you a hassle. If you need anything non-alcoholic, I'd recommend going to any of the other three convenience stores that are within a couple blocks. Again though, great selection of beers, wines and spirits. read more

Watson's is AWESOME!! The staff is so friendly and always have great suggestions on wines and beers. They also have a new service (WASHBOX) that allows you to drop off your laundry and dry cleaning while buying your beer and toilet paper. Now i don't have to pay the crazy high prices at dependable cleaners and can get my laundry done for as low as .90 a ib. Watson's has a customer for life!! read more

they have pretty much everything you need between the liquor store and convenience store, although it's seriously overpriced (2x normal retail). they're open late, which is awesome, but they seem to struggle with opening on time in the morning. the staff is super friendly and the location is convenient (if you're on foot. driving? not so much). read more
