Downtown Spirits

Holy smokes, shopping here is such a hassle! Saw online they had a couple wines I can't normally find at my local shops so I popped it to grab them and honestly, if I weren't on the hunt for them I would've left empty handed. They have no cashier, they just have a person who sits behind a desk asking if you have shopped here and then tell you about how you have to download their app to shop. To me, this person could easily ring people up but they want to use the amazon grab and go shopping bullsh1t to run the store. I will not be returning in the future as the experience was super annoying. ATTN OWNERS: NOT EVERYONE IN THE CITY IS A TECH BRO MORON, MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE APP TO JUST GRAB A COUPLE THINGS.

No longer at this location. Looks like replaced by another skyscraper. Please update the address

Technology isn't working. Took more than 10 min to get the app populated. Then it says free access for a month but that feature didn't work on the app so they have to give you a code. But then after a month you have to pay a subscription fee. We were all looking forward to a liquor store downtown but not a membership one. And can't imagine a tourist wants to sign up for a monthly membership when they are here for just one or two nights. Nice thought but execution is simply to milk more money out by forcing a subscription service. Best to just drive to total wine or Instacart. After the subscription fee it's more expensive than Total Wine (who delivers within two hours). Everyone in the store felt exasperated in trying to download the app and get it to work.

Amazing liquor store with a huge collection of beers, wines, and spirits at different price points! I'm not really familiar with all of the different brands and types of liquor so I like how organized this place is and it's really easy to find what you're looking for. I also like that they carry a lot of mixers, simple syrups, and bitters. When I drink it's mostly just cocktails so it's nice that they carry everything you need to make a good mixed drink.

This is a vast liquor store in a weird assembly of shacks! Maybe I'm just impressed because I was visiting from a different state that has small and feeble liquor stores.

Ordered stuff online, and when they didn't have the item in stock, they called me to check on change to my order. Great service, and delivery!

I really wanted this place to be a "destination liquor store." I saw some things on their webpage listed as in-stock, and was excited to check it out. But when I made the haul all the way to the store the items were not in-stock and one didn't even have a shelf space. Many empty spots on the shelves, of even widely available liquors. And looking around, outside some rare pricy mezcals, I didn't see much I couldn't get in the liquor dept. of any of the better Seattle supermarkets or the Total Wine in Bellevue (not Northgate). So maybe a online store, but the physical location may or may not have anything listed on the webpage. Don't make the trip without calling as they haven't figured out basic online inventory control.

Ordered a bottle to be delivered as a surprise for someone - they were not in when the delivery was meant to happen, so the driver said they would leave the bottle with a neighbor. No neighbor has seen this bottle and the store has told me that their drivers will not leave a delivery with anyone else, otherwise it will be returned to the store. Despite a number of attempts to contact the store to resolve this, I have been ignored.I will not be returning.

Very nice store with decent inventory. Most difficult place to actually purchase anything as you need to download their app, complete the forms and go through a useless number of checks before you can even enter the store. If you're a tourist, I would highly recommend saving yourself the headache and go elsewhere. There was one specific product I really wanted to purchase, so I suffered for it, but I would have departed in two seconds had this been available anywhere else in a 30 minute radius. Seriously not tourist friendly, just keep walking by. Very disappointing and discouraging

After a small purchase I made by credit card during early October, I received a email from Downtown Spirits, notifying me that I had been overcharged for the purchase. It also informed me that my CC would be reimbursed the overcharged amount in a few days. Well, the very next day my CC was credited the overcharged amount! I was very impressed by the honesty of the store, and the fact that the emails were addressed with the owner's name on them! Highly recommended!! PS: I live on the East Coast, purchase was a gift for a family member that lives in Seattle.
