Alcohol shop in Bristol

“Amazing selection!”

“Fantastic shop. Offers an amazing selection of local and further afield brews. Prices are really competitive and it has quickly replaced my online shop for beer. I wanted to give a shout out the the lady who works there. I first visited by walking in with a child on my back and the second visit was dressed in all leather with a helmet on and yet she remembered who I was. That is a level of customer service you just can't teach and really makes a customer feel valued. Will be back repeatedly to keep the beer fridge stocked.”

“Another great Saturday Tasting bench, with local producers sharing their drinks - The Wine Shop are such a great friendly business, Matthew and Kelli really know their stuff and work with some amazing suppliers”

“I've only been here once, but the cheese I got was quite frankly stunning. My 4 year old boy still talks about the nice lady who served us, thank you”

“Honestly couldn’t fault it. We went for some nibbles and wine later in the evening and hadn’t expected it to be quite as good as it was. The setting was perfect and every single member of staff was beyond lovely. That, on top of delicious food and wine made it the perfect place to go for our Saturday night. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Chris runs this little corner shop, can't knock the guy, he always has what I need and that's all you can ask for! Thanks for your service to the community buddy.”

“What a luvly place. Second visit today and staff are very friendly and so nice. Well worth a visit and i will use again.they do tetbury proud.”

“Great friendly staff and great service”

“Amazing service and friendly faces”

“Incredible selection of beers and great mix of refridgerated beers as well. My partner asked the guy working for some recommendations and he was happy to help out and she absolutely loved the sour he recommend. Great spot to pick up some brews in Bath.”

“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.”

“I have just moved to LA and popped my head in for a few snacks and beers, what a treat! Family run with a fantastic beer and wine selection, I will enjoy going in for a chat whilst choosing my beer !”

“sam was so helpful when i didnt know what wine to get my boyfriends parents!! thank you”

“Popped in for a cheeky beer with my mate Mark (holding the sword in the photo) one Monday evening. I've walked past many times promising myself that I'd give it a try, but never having made it before now. Monday evening was good as they have deals on the tap beers, we tried a healthy selection of both the tap, bottled and canned beers on offer and had ourselves a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We hit it off like a house in fire with the owner and got to play with is his sword (not the best idea when we'd had a few) and on one occasion pour or own beers! I don't imagine it's quite like that every night, but non-the-less still a great place to go to get to sample different types of beers to the usual pubs and to talk with someone who really knows their beers.”

“Lovely little shop. Great selection if local produce.”

“Great service. Wanted a mixed case as a gift for a friend in Bristol. As they had no “pre picked” mixed cases, Joe kindly emailed me suggestions based upon a set budget and preferences. Wine was delivered the next day to a very grateful friend and by a very polite courier (or possibly staff member?). Shame I don’t live nearby or I’d be a regular customer. Thank you!”

“Fabian did a wine tasting for my hen party - he was amazing!!!! 100% book him. He was so knowledgeable and interesting but also funny. We all bought some of his delicious wine afterwards!”

“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.”

“Won't find a better beer shop for miles, great selection at good prices.”

“Great little bar with multiple craft kegs as well as a fridge of cans”

“Fantastic selection of ales, ciders and spirits. Regular rotation of guest ales and never a poor one. Well done Dan and Bex in getting this new venture off the ground.”

“Being in South Africa and having never shopped online for wine in the UK, I was a little skeptical when narrowing down my options of a service provider. Sparkling Direct not only offered a reliable and simple process, they went as far as to contact me personally to ensure all was on track until the final delivery. An excellent, personal, affordable experience. They will be my go-to for UK purchases.”

“Really good selection and knowledgeable staff. Needless to say I got beers as gifts and they went down a treat”

“Food is of a high quality staff are very friendly this was our first visit and will be visiting again. Pleasant surroundings to eat. At a good price too”

“Would give 6 stars if I could... their salads are delicious and their blondie peanut cookies are the best I've ever had!”
