I…read morehave lost track of the amount of times I have been at parties in the area and have had to make numerous trips to this wee off licence to get numerous carry outs. The stock is pretty good with plenty of good red wine if that is what tickles your fancy. The staff are friendly and helpful and you can usually get what you want. If you can't they should be able to get it in from one of the other Winemarks in town. There is good parking nearby and an ATM, but if you pay on your card you can get cashback, which is really handy.

Wouldn't like to admit how many times I've been in this off-license and if possible, it's the only…read moreone I ever go to. You know what you're getting with Winemark, a decent selection of your main beers, ciders and stouts, wines and spirits with good offers from time to time. The guys in Ballyholme Winemark know a decent bit about wine too if you're stuck and their staff have always been friendly over the 15 years I've been going here. I think it's the banter of the staff and sometimes other customers I go back for. They don't offer a breathtaking variety of spirits but I suppose they know their target customers well enough by now. Recently due to the boom of craft beers they've started stocking some terrific ones from the Hilden brewery which I have been sampling keenly recently as I'm slowly moving away from wild nights drinking Buckfast (which they sell by the barrel load). They also usually have free samples of wine or spirits on a Friday and Saturday which I think a lot of customers enjoy. There's parking right outside too and in the adjoining streets, a bank machine a few metres away and a Chinese takeaway and a supermarket right across the road for provisions for the evening and to line your stomach...!

A really small and cosy off licence that is right on the Donaghadee Road in Bangor which means it…read moreis easy to get to and serves a large residential area. The stock in this place isn't as wide ranging as some of the other off licences in Bangor but this is down to its size. But the staff more than make up for this with their friendly and polite manner which make going into this small store always a laid back and friendly experience. The deals you get in winemark are pretty competitive and you should be able to find something that is to your taste. If you can't find it, they are usually more than happy to order something in for you. There isn't an ATM near by, but that is ok because they offer cashback when you pay on your card.

Located opposite Bryce park this off licence used to be notorious for underage drinkers. They would…read moreput on their Dad's shirt buy 3 litres of cider then drift into the park and then wonder aimlessly around the local area looking for "hippies" to "start on". But all this has changed Winemark now operates a strict challenge 25 system where they seem to be asking for I.D from anyone without a thick beard. The staff are pretty stringent on this so make sure you bring your driving licence. The shop itself has a great selection of beers, wine and spirits. It always runs promotions and just last week was selling 2 bottles of Buckfast for £10, to the delight of my mates. This fine tonic wine is often sold at a high price in other off licences' around town. Its drinkers are distinguished wine connoisseurs of the highest degree that have a taste for the finer things in life. Finding two bottles for £10 is considered a real coup so Winemark has won a few more fans recently. As said Winemark is a good off licence in a good location handy for grabbing a few beers before heading into town.

It gets 5 stars from me as it actually is the ONLY off licence on the Ormeau Road selling low alcohol wines (5-9%ish). I love my wine but hate a hangover - hence I really appreciate the occasional low/lower alcohol bottle.

Wineflair is just beside the bookies on Cromac Street and is really the usual sort of place you tend to find around Belfast, there is nothing particularly outstanding. The beer, although bland and macro in every sense is reasonably priced however the hilariously small wine selection is unbelievable. You're talking maybe eight types of red, ranging from £4.50 (for utter dyed alcoholic water) to £8 or 9 for utter guff at that price, I mean we're talking £7 for a bottle of Hardy's standard mediocre Shiraz... not good. One of the guys I've dealt with is sound, spoken to him a few times and 'shot the shit' as the phrase goes. That aside it's a little pricey and limited range wise. However, if you are looking for booze in the area and there's nowhere else,... have at it.

It also has a huge chilled section which means that you don't have to get home and stick your bottles in the freezer. I was also impressed with selection of craft beers including local brand Yardsman. There's also a great range of wine and spirits (also chilled). As a side note they also sell a wide range and of snacks and to top it off they are a lottery outlet. There's an ATM just outside but you'll struggle to get a parking space on a busy Antrim Road.

The refurb has made the place clean and bright, and has lost some of the chavy wkd vibe (although still available) There is a large walk in fridge section right along the left hand side of the store for beer, cider & white wine. I didn't browse fully as I was only popping in for some beer of which there was a decent selection of craft beers at reasonable prices. Seemed to be a good variety available and will certainly be back to check out the wine selection soon.

Their wines are extensive, from cheap and cheerful to expensive and delicious. They also have a large variety of spirits, stocking some of the higher end gins. Not only that they have plenty of different mixers, from basic Coke to organic fever tree tonic, which I love! I'm not massively into beer so couldn't tell you the types they stock but looks like there are plenty of options for the discerning customer. The shop assistants are all very friendly and more than happy to help if you want advice on anything, they will also order a bottle of your fave in if they don't stock it. My only problem with the place is they've stopped asking me for my id.... Clearly I've started showing my age!

I have discovered a number of great red wines that are very reasonably priced, one such being the Black Shiraz, which in my opinion is the best wine you can get for under ten pounds. If you are unsure about what to get, then simply ask the friendly staff who will not confuse you with specialised wine tasting jargon, but keep it simple and to the point. Even if wine is not your thing Gap Wines sells an eclectic mix of beers from around the world. I would suggest you try some BrewDog, specifically the Punk IPA beer which, if you are a beer fan, you will certainly enjoy!

Great place to get your booze on the Lisburn Road. Called in her before the football on Friday…read morenight to grab a bottle or two and was surprised about the depth of the store. I say depth because on the outside it looks relatively small but once you're inside it stretches all the way back. They use this space to stock a wide variety of alcohol including a good selection of beer and everything from fine wine to Lambrini. Don't look round the store for the spirit section, they keep the hard stuff behind the counter. Open until 11pm this is a good place to grab a few drinks after an afternoon pint. Be warned on match day evening they operate a one in one out policy and you may have to wait to even get close to the booze. Although don't fear the counter staff have this serving malarky down to a tee. They are also fluent in drunk so you won't need your subtitles turned on in here. All in all a good and handy store. No complaints from me.

Next door to a PizzaWorks which is BYO and opposite an ATM means that this store is always going to be a success! There's also a Subway and a FroYo shop in this small complex. The shop itself is great - it has a good selection of wine, spirits and beer. Importantly a selection of the wine and beer is kept refrigerated which means that as soon as it's been purchased it's ready to drink. I know I'm sounding like a total Alcho here but there's nothing worse than buying booze and having to wait 20 minutes for it to cool down. Price wise there's always deals in wine and beer in here - often deals that rival supermarket offers. Two words: Super Convenient!
