D's Bottle Shop & Craft Beer College

Great bottle shop and tap room with 15-20 draught beers and hundreds more available by bottle or can. Lots of other options for take home as well, and they don’t shy away from offering less common styles. It’s refreshing really in this era where beer bars struggle due to brewery tap room popularity to find a place like this. No food, though tons of options in the same complex, and they officially close a touch early. Would be great if they had menus onsite for the variety of options nearby and stayed open a smidge later especially on weekends.

Edit: now that I know there are menus, I’ll just have to come back and order food in! :-)

Large selection of unique beers from local & international breweries. Casual, friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Dart board in back, cozy couch up front, a bar, some tables, and a couple wooden tables outside. Great selection of to-go beers making this an excellent choice for picking up liquid gifts for friends :-)

Dog friendly patio outside of a really cool place. Beer from all sorts of places. The tap list is interesting and there are plenty of finds to take home. Staff is friendly, and it definitely feels like a locals hangout. Will be back with the dog when it warms up!

Rotating 13 taps of craft beers and a large selection of international and domestic beers, wines and more. Friendly staff. Lots of community spirit and events - e.g, darts league, small-business shows, charity & social events. My favorite watering hole.

Great staff and yummy brews! Service and drink selection is top notch. They offer wine tasting as well.

12/15/23 Update This has become my favorite bottle shop in Raleigh! I make it a point to stop in as often as I can. They have started some awesome "mug club" style promotions and partner with charities to do their part in the community they serve.

6/22/22 update D's has done it again! I came in looking for a few specific beers I saw they had on Untappd. Unfortunately they didn't have two of the ones I wanted, but one of their employees was amazing and recommended beers that are comparable to what I was looking for. Little interactions like that go a long way in turning the customers disappointment into a great visit!

This bottle shop is a treasure! Great prices, friendly staff, and an awesome selection of craft beer. I can totally see this place becoming my "Cheers"!

They have fantastic beer and gave great service. You can go there and have an awesome time without breaking the bank. They also have a solid dart setup where anyone of age is encouraged to play. I dig the atmosphere and the vibe. It's not extremely loud, and people are civil.

Great beers at very fair price! Super friendly staff! Thank you Katie!!

I really enjoy this place. It was good before but with new ownership has become quite inviting. The regulars are here but they don’t make a “once in a while” visitor feel unwanted. The owner and staff, crazy knowledgeable and friendly. The beers are always cold and refreshing.

Great spot! Owner is very nice and helpful, knows her stuff. Very big craft beer selection, big big stout selection. Its hard to find any stouts outside of the colder months but they always have them here, its amazing.

I had a great 1st experience at D's Bottle Shop today. Mr, Walace offered a sample, I heard a fellow customer say his opinion about a brew, and the fellow customer did best by me. I enjoyed the sheer great welcome and fully recommend this tap, bottle, and wine hangout. What a great place.

A fantastic place! Wonderful selection of both beer, wine, seltzers, and even non alcoholic options. Staff is extremely kind and overall would highly recommend visiting

If you're reading this review here's what you need to know. The ownership pours their heart and soul in this place and that is what makes it fantastic. The staff and atmosphere is always friendly and fun. Quality beer and wine choices especially if you're looking for somthing new to try

Just moved to the area and have been twice and plan to go a lot more. Staff was very friendly and the beer list was different both times filled with solid selections.

I found out about D’s a few years ago and went there on occasion but in the last year or so probably, the selection has become completely insane for our RDU area. They are getting some beers I never dreamed of getting around here. I cannot say enough about the selection.

Secondly, the customer service is exceptional. The owners have helped me on numerous occasions with seeking out a drop/beer. Every time I step foot in the store, either one of them or their staff, always greet me and ask if I need help with anything.

Highly recommend this bottle shop! Just gotta speed up that check out process :)

Since I found this hidden little gem, I've been back many times and taken friends and family too, it's awesome, huge selection of beers and wines too!

We were recently in town for a sales training. D’s Bottle Shop was recommended to try, if you are looking for unique craft beers to a nice selection of wine. Our team enjoyed the selection of beer and wine, along with the friendly “neighborhood” atmosphere of D’s. Would definitely recommend and be back next time I’m in town.

Laid back bottle shop located in the Wakefield area of North Raleigh/Wake Forest, run by the nicest people you'll meet. There are 11 taps, with a good number devoted to NC breweries, and a good selection of beer on the shelves.

They have a run club on Mondays, regular entertainment, bottle swaps, weekly tap takeovers, and all kinds of good stuff going on in the shop. I appreciate that their web site is kept updated with the latest draft selections, making it easy to pop in for growler fills when something good is on tap (always).

Although D's is close to home for me, I would still consider this my "home" shop even if I had to travel to it. The owners are warm and welcoming, and really take care of their clientele. It's a great place to grab a pint and have a chat.

Great place. Really good selection of beer and knowledgeable staff.
I wish that I could do something about the lighting. It's just too bright in there.
Though perhaps I do not understand the ambiance that they were going for.

Will miss trivia at D's. We managed to win on the final trivia night this week... Not sure what we'll do on Wednesday nights now?
