The 30 Best Liquor store in Bristol

“Lovely new place to buy lots of different types of craft beer, ales, gin and rum! Friendly and knowledgeable guy working there too. You can also drink there but it’s limited seating. Definitely recommend this place!”

“A great shop serving wines and spirits for any occasion and we have purchased from here many times with wines that haven't disappointed. The tasting nights in the snug are informative and we had some fantastic Portuguese wines and ports served with a well presented nibbles board. The owners provide an excellent service and deserve to do well.”

“My wife and myself had a wonderful wine tasting today with Ben. I emailed Novel Wines before Christmas asking about a Wine Tasting on a Sunday and Ben replied confirming they were closed on Sundays but said he might be able to get someone to conduct the tasting anyway. This was incredibly generous of him and I booked the wine tasting up. We had the tasting today and I have to say it's the best we have ever had. Ben is knowledgeable and personable. There were no awkward moments at all and we got to taste 6 different wines as well as a delicious dessert wine. We ended up buying 4 bottles as they were so good. I would highly recommend Novel Wines if you are in the area and fancy a fun wine tasting.”

“Incredible selection of gluten-free beers, and the owner is really knowledgeable about what is/isn't gf even when they're not labelled. Will be going here every time I'm passing through.”

“A wonderful place to have a sumptuous lunch. We had the carrots with honey salad, Jamaican smoked sausage and Roman pork belly and they all tasted real yummy. Nice couple running the place. If only I could bring the American BBQ spare ribs back to Perth, Western Australia I would not hesitate to do so.”

“The staff were busy preparing the venue for opening their tap room at the time of the visit, but the space already looks amazing. Currently, bottles of their mead and beer are available for takeaway from the Meadery/Brewery and via their website. Keep up the great work.”

“Absolutely love this shop, it's the best, wouldn't go anywhere else. They are so friendly welcoming and always happy to help with anything. So much variety to choose from. Thank you”

“The gentleman who helped us select some local beers was very helpful and patient while we picked. Some very interesting findings!”

“Fantastic wine, and the atmosphere feels like being invited into someone's home. Very personal and friendly.”

“Full of local products at good prices. Staff very friendly and helpful.”

“Popped in as we have always wanted to see what the place was like and sample some new drinks It did not disappoint, large array of drinks and the bar staff and Dan helped with choices with their fantastic knowledge of what was available Great atmosphere, no loud music, just the sound of conversation and a comfortable place to enjoy time out. Not bad on prices and very clean and tidy. I would recommend going early if you want a table as it is very popular. We will definitely be going again”

“Went in looking for Ouzo, but they didnt have any. The staff went on their stockists website and found the brand I was looking for and Ordered it in for me. 2 days later It arrived in store. Great Service, many thanks..... Yiamas :)”

“What a great little gem of a place, south of the river. Alpha is run by a fantastic friendly team and the selection of beers is excellent.”

“Had a lovely couple of Ghibli (we’re Ghibli fans) themed drinks. I had an Arrietty (reminded me of my own garden in summer and the cup and saucer it was served in gave it a dainty feel) and my partner had a No Face cocktail served in a clay pot which caused a really interesting discussion about depth of flavour / character. Service was attentive and very welcoming.”

“Really enjoyed our dinner here, lovely wine with a great selection and they spoke us through each choice. Great French food, I’d highly recommend”

“I dropped in here whilst passing through Wedmore and it's a fantastic place with a huge selection of craft ales from all over the UK, with staff/owners that are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. There's a shop downstairs selling a wide range of bottled and canned ales and ciders (as well as great coffee) with an upstairs seating area and bar area, serving a selection of draught beers. Highly recommended and will definitely be dropping in again next time I'm passing through.”

“Great selection of very good quality of wines; outstanding service and all very reasonably priced. I simply can’t recommend highly enough! Six stars!!!”

“We went to Espensen Spirit for our office party and had the best day ever. Sam and her team are the best hosts and gave us an incredible tasting session.”

“Coffee + Beer is fantastic! Was my go to coffee place over the last year. They have an amazing variety of coffee beans which constantly changes. Being new to coffee it was just so cool to get this varied variety of beans to try ! The staff were always lovely and helpful and great to chat to! Always very helpful in answering questions on all things coffee :))”

“Tiny but well stocked deli with just the right products. They have fermented hot sauce, kimchi and other fermented foods, craft beer, vegan cheese amongst other things.”

“Great little store, the staff are very friendly and helpful which makes such a refreshing change compared to other local stores where the staff are rude, Great experience overall I can't recommend enough”

“What a delightful post office! Umang was so kind and helpful when I needed to drop off a large selection of mail and was very patient and accommodating with me. Great selection of snacks and essentials too. I wish all post offices were this friendly!”

“Came here a few times and it’s a great crafty place! Good selection on keg and a good fridge full for everything else! Lovely chilled out atmosphere… highly recommend”

“Great stock. Selection of many German beers and local stuff too. Nice place to sit if you don't wanna fight for a seat on kings street. Staff friendly ✅ Great prices. Why go to a commercial pub”

“Excellent service. Ordered two champagne bottles for friends and both arrived on time. For one of the orders we put down the wrong address and had to quickly send an email to the team to get the address updated. Sparkling Direct replied really quickly and made sure the address was changed and went to the right place. Thank you so much, we had two very happy friends.”

“Do you like artisan cheese and meats? Do you like small batch craft beer? If yes to either of these then you need to visit this place. One the finest selection of amazing cheeses and meats that you can take away, or have turned into the best toastie I've ever tasted. Wash it down a bottle or can of craft beer from their well stocked fridges. They have small batch, hard to get hold of craft beers that go perfectly with the food they serve. Excellent owners who are knowledgeable, friendly and make you feel very welcome. Amazing place.”

“Very helpful staff and a vast range of wines.”

“Delicious food & coffee, not exactly the best place for a nice sit-down meal but really liked the spot and would happily come back. I'm a bit of a coffee snob but loved the oat flat white, and the takeaway batch was also excellent”

“Nice small pub with good beer choice, good music, friendly people and plenty of games to play”

“Great little pub tucked away. Excellent beers, excellent food. Sunday roast superb …worth booking as it gets busy. Love the atmosphere at this place. 10/10”
