Liquor Tavern

Come for the great selection of Victorian craft beers, wine & spirits. I'm a bit of a hop head, and so offerings from Valhalla, The Mill, Molly Rose, Bright brewery & others never disappoint, offered alongside other great sessionable options if Hoppy IPAs aren't your thing.

Come to support your local independent rather than shareholders of the big chains. Small Business is tough right now, with money tight we need to be choosy who we spend it with.
Sure, I could give my money to Wesfarmers shareholders, but I'd rather still have the option of great independents a year from now, and that only happens if they can afford to pay not just the landlord, the rates, & their suppliers, but themselves.

Come for the friendly service. I feel guilty for not knowing the owners name, but he's there every night & if you take a moment to chat, you'll find he's a lovely guy just trying to make ends meet, like so many of us as rent & everything else skyrockets.

Come for the hours. Open to 11pm means you can still get a great drop when others have closed.

Come so they're still here tomorrow, and next month, and next year... You know... So I can still pick up a late night treat when the craving takes 😉

Favorite bottle shop. Key points: price, variety, shopping experience, and opening hours. Vinay is welcoming and friendly, and knowledgeable about the drinks he sells. He's recommended my wife and I a few things based on what we've bought before and his recommendations have been spot-on. Feels so welcome walking in. The spin-wheel he has going is great fun too. Loyal customers after a few visits :)

Best liquor shop i have ever been to. The customer service was absolutely amazing! The shop has the kindest owner and he has so much knowledge about what he sells! Left us leaving with the biggest smile on our faces. 100000/10

Definitely the best liquor store I’ve ever been to. The owner is the nicest bloke and was more than willing to help me out with picking new drinks! 10/10 I will be back again!

This is hands down the best bottle shop in Melbourne!
Real talk the owner is the kindest guy I’ve ever met, goes out of his way to help me out and suggest unique beers and wines. Easily the best prices I’ve seen in a minute considering how expensive everything is these days.
Trust me if you’re reading this, please give this place a chance 🙏

Great bottle-o. Vinay is lovely and has a fun spin the wheel! Highly recommend!
