The Yummiest Beer, Wine & Spirits in Orlando

Roka Hula

★★★★☆ 4.4 (81) • $$$

"I'm so delayed in sharing this review, but I absolutely loved Roka Hula and I have been there at least two more times since my first visit.The small and intimate spot is designed as a speakeasy with a super fun secret entrance. My absolute favorite here is the banana old-fashioned. That said, it is a tiki bar and I do find it worth noting that if you have an allergy to cinnamon, this is not the place for you. The last time I was there, we sat next to a couple that ordered a drink with cinnamon on it and the table side presentation of that drink and with myself and my dining partner being essentially coated in a layer of cinnamon. It immediately made me think of my friend's husband that would've been in a lot of trouble in that situation. And honestly, it made me feel a certain way about the safety of people with an allergy to cinnamon. Hopefully they just know not to go into Tiki bars? I mentioned it to the manager and I didn't feel he took it seriously which is actually the only reason I'm taking it down to a four star because of that.All of the food is small plate style and is absolutely delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and I absolutely love this place."

The Good Pour

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"I'm so glad I stopped by at this place. This place doesn't feel like a traditional liquor store. It is such a beautiful place and everyone is so friendly.The store has a section where you can make your own gift basket. I think that's such a cool concept. It has a wide variety of liquors and prices were reasonable. The best thing about this place is that a percentage of your purchase goes to a charity. I thought that was a cool concept and a way to support a charity of your choice.I went on a Sunday and they had a food truck in the parking garage. Not sure if that's only there on the weekends."

Red Barn Drive Thru

★★★★☆ 4 (4) • $

"The Red Barn makes beer runs to 7-Eleven LAME. It's a big red barn, and you drive right into a glowing Hall of Beer. Pick out what you want, and they hand it right in the window. So. Cool!Seriously, there is a great selection of beer, including several brands I didn't expect in a drive-thru beer barn (Sam Smith's, Unibroue, Sierra Nevada). There's also munchies, soda, cigarettes and a small assortment of wines. The prices aren't any worse than a typical convenience store, and they take cards.I've heard they sell kegs, and will load them RIGHT INTO YOUR TRUNK. I mean, c'mon...HAWSOME!"

Legacy Liquors & Wine

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"Love this liquor store! Management and employees are very nice and knowledgeable. They always have good prices and specials going on. They have a separate wine room and inside they also have a cigar room. Make sure you ask for the tastings!They always have something new to show you and taste. They also have alcohol slushies.! They are so good. Plenty of parking on side of building. Close to downtown Sanford shopping, restaurants and bars."

Knightly Spirits of Ocoee

★★★★☆ 4 (8) • $$

"They always greet you upon entering and ask you if they can help you find what you came for. They have a wide selections of alcohol and stay well stocked. The prices are reasonable. Although it's a smaller store they always have what I'm looking for which always seem to be hard to find new exclusive or limited edition alcohol lol So, if you are in the area I highly recommend this store. It's next to the Publix on west road."

Pat's Liquor Leaf & Wine

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (42) • $$

"With all of these mom and pop style liquor stores, you need to know your prices. You'll find some good deals as well as eye-popping prices on some things. And it's fun to navigate like you're in an expensive corn maze.If you're lucky and look for rare items, you may find something. I got lucky one day and found some Blanton's for sale as part of a "Package". Luckily, I enjoyed some of those additional items I normally wouldn't have purchased.They do have a rewards program so if you go here often, definitely join and you can earn points and save money on a future purchase. Every little bit helps these days.The staff is always great and helpful. They occasionally have samples of something available too. I think I tried a vodka one time and it tasted like vodka. Spot on!I'll stop in when I'm in the area. It's in the Publix plaza on the farthest end away from Alafaya."

Vespr Coffeebar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (545) • $

"I haven't been to Vespr in years but finally came back and had a wonderful experience. It was in the middle of a weekday so it wasn't too busy and I was glad I could grab seating at the window. I ordered a peanut butter mocha latte which was amazing as well as the pesto chicken salad sandwich which was so delicious and perfectly toasted. I really enjoyed hanging out there for a bit to get some reading done. Glad to have this cafe nearby!"

ABC Fine Wine & Spirits

★★★★☆ 3.7 (20) • $$

"Believe it or not, the prices here are better than Total Wine. I've been gift shopping for a house warming gift and found a huge difference in some cases. I always look here for what I want first before shopping anywhere else."

Viva Liquor

★★★★★ 5 (2) • $$

"Wow wow wow! Not only because of their great selection of whiskies and bourbon but their customer service puts them way above others. Viva really puts not only their customers, but their community first! Huge shoutout to Sam specifically, who is always looking out for his customers. He remembers and knows many by name and is very friendly and personable. I was looking for a certain bottle and he offered to help me look to get it, but when he couldn't find, he offered an awesome alternative. I also got a bottle of their Woodford Reserve Double Oaked store pick, which I happen to love even the regular bottle. Highly recommend, even if just stopping by and want to chat a bit with Sam. 10/5 would recommend every time!"

Vintage Liquor

★★★☆☆ 3 (8) • $$

"I went to this store and bought $50 worth of liquor and picked up a bottle of red wine that I found dusty on a shelf which sounded like a nice table wine. The wine, once the cashier scanned it came out to just under $5 so I was excited to try it out.When I got home and opened the wine, it was very much spoiled so I took it back the next day. The bottle was full and I had it corked so it was easy to see just how spoiled it was. A college guy who worked there said I needed my receipt and that without the receipt he couldn't refund or give store credit or anything, which I understand. (even though the bar code was scanned so the bottle of wine was in their inventory system). He asked me to come back and speak to the owner. I told him, "Dude, its for $5 so let me just leave my name and number and if the owner wants to give me $5 store credit, or at least call me and talk to me about it, I'll be a happy customer. Otherwise, I just won't shop here again." I never got that phone call so I will never shop there again.Prices are what you would expect but beware of buying any wine there as it's possibly spoiled. Go next door to Publix for wine and beer."

Whippoorwill Beer House & Package Store

★★★★★ 4.5 (36)

"Absolutely loving this place! Serving coffee all day, amazing selection of Natural wine and craft beer. Cute comfy areas to sit and chill. Whether your reading a book, working, or chatting it up with friend- it's comfortable for everyone. Wednesdays are sweet - 25% off wine bottles and $25 all you can drink wine. It's a great deal. On occasion they host vinyl nights here."

Woodbury Wine & Spirits

★★★☆☆ 3 (6) • $$

"Located in one of the most inconvenient strip-malls ever built, Woodbury Wine & Spirits has an up-hill battle to survive in a place where most businesses fail.No, their selection of items isn't as nice as some of the bigger stores like Total Wine or ABC. They have a fair, but limited selection of most items. Their prices are about even.What sets them apart is friendliness and service. The owners here seem to actually care and appreciate your business. If they don't carry something, but they can get it - they order it. They've taken requests from Facebook fans.While I haven't had a chance to explore it, I understand that they have a good selection of craft beers and micro-brews. They also do wine and liquor tastings from time to time."

The Liquor Library & Wine Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (9) • $$

"Beautiful store with tons of options. Multiple hard to find and higher end liquors at reasonable prices (unlike many of the independently owned liquor stores in the tourist areas that charge 5x retail or more). The clerk working was very friendly and helpful (Allie??) and even texted the manager when we had questions she wasn't sure on. He told her to open a bottle of one their store pick bourbons for us to sample which was much appreciated and sold us on spending more than we planned to. We will definitely be back, especially since they have an app and offer order online and pick up in store."

Nora's Sugar Shack

★★★★★ 4.7 (66) • $

"Nora is by far the best human on this planet. Not only do we love this spot because it's a "come as you are" type of vibe, very low-key and has a great lineup up various wines, beers, and seltzers groun around the world, but if you come here, you're family. There's nothing like this spot."

ABC Fine Wine & Spirits

★★★★☆ 4.3 (22) • $$

"The best ABC since the Jackson Five! Looking for more obscure bottles can be Torture, and I was impressed with the selection here. They had a lot of whiskeys and mezcals I hadn't seen at other ABC stores. Sure, you can go to a "local" store and support small businesses by paying 2-5x more than the "list" price.I may make this part of my normal rotation when on a liquor run. If you're keeping track, it's Total Wine (E Colonial and Altamonte), Costco in Altamonte, Big C on University, Pat's near UCF, and "occasionally" the Total Wine in Melbourne (It's in a different market, so sometimes they get different stuff). I'm open to other suggestions for a good liquor store."

Heart's Home Brew Beer & Wine

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25) • $$

"Ok, I have to give it 5 stars cause it's the only home brew store we have in the area, however I'd still give it a high rating comparing it to all the home brew supply websites. Granted, the place is set up much like a warehouse so if you're expecting to be able to walk in and browse around you may get a little lost. The shop owner does most of his sales via the internet so you'll always see him measuring out grains and packing boxes while you're there.Here's how it works: The best way to go about this is to go to the website-http://www.heartshomebrew.com/home_brew_beer.cgiPick out all the things you need and complete your order. You can select a pickup date and time and he'll have you entire order ready for you when you get there. Very easy.He also has a few coolers full of good beers if you feel like having a cold one right when you get home. I love how he has a few standards (miller, bud light and some other bad ones) on the very bottom all covered in dust, out-casted like the island of misfit toys. Makes me laugh every time.All in all it's a great place to get all your home brewing supplies and the prices are awesome. Especially since you don't have to pay shipping if you're picking up."

Avalon Liquor

★★★★☆ 4 (5) • $$

"Not too small of a place that is well organized, lots of variety and good customer service. Owner was helpful and polite and he opens until late!"

Admiral Cigar Club

★★★★☆ 4.1 (80) • $$

"The Admiral is a nice cigar lounge for the Baldwin Park area, it isn't too big with much seating inside, but has couch seating outside. The cigar options were smaller than I expected, but found a cigar to enjoy with a glass of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. There is a television inside that will show sports, and it almost turns into a sports bar. I'd like to return and look at more of their cigar options with the their bourbon and whiskey."

Banana Cabana

★★★★☆ 3.5 (30) • $$$

"It's a run of the mill casual spot for you to grab a quick bite to eat either for lunch or dinner. Ambiance gives you a relaxing tropical vibe as you're next to the resort's pool area and you get a great view of the lagoon and the skyliner running back and forth. Menu may be revised due to the pandemic but there's still plenty to choose from. Be sure to download the My Disney Experience app for the most recent menu. They have chicken wings, salads, sandwiches, burgers & fries. Really nice selection of cocktails and a few nice non alcoholic mixed drinks too. BF got the Cuban sandwich and I had a craving for just a plain ol burger & fries. May be simple but def was satisfying. There's a line just for people who want to order drinks and take it back to the pool area. And if you want to sit down at the tables, find a hostess and she'll put your name down. We came here for dinner on the day when we were checking out different resorts Disney has to offer. Riviera is gorgeous and fancy. And Caribbean Beach Resort gives me a chill tropical vibe."

Publix Liquors

★★★★★ 4.7 (7) • $$

"Came to this location originally to get some cigars. I was at my sons house, we had fired up the Big Green Egg, the only thing missing were couple of cigars. So we went on a run. This liquor store is a stand-alone building in the Publix parking lot. Upon entering the store the first thing I noticed was how low the shelves were. This gave you the ability to see the entire store, and I'm sure for the clerk on duty it was a very nice security feature. I gave you the impression that the store was a lot larger than it really was. While we were there we stopped and looked to see if they had a certain brand of bourbon. They did not. So my son and I proceed to check out counter, paid for our cigars, and went back to grilling.All in all it was a very pleasant visit, the store was brightly lit, everything was nicely displayed, and the clerk on duty at the time was extremely kind."

Shamrock Beverage & Liquor

★★★★☆ 3.9 (9) • $$$

"Shamrock is the best liquor store in Orlando, no doubt about it. They carry an amazing selection of alcohol. I'm always able to find what I need. I got a great scotch for my Dad for his birthday that I didn't see anywhere else. I'm always able to find some great craft beer, and they always have White Claw when I can't find it at Publix. They carry seasonal products and update their Facebook when they get new products in. I can always seem to find new energy drink flavors here as well. The guys behind the counter are always friendly and helpful."

Bless Wine & Spirits

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I was coming to this plaza for a different store and noticed this new liquor store. We are actually doing dry January but I thought I'd pop in to check out what they have. The store is very very clean and well organized. It has every type of liquor you could want and more. Also beer and wine. I enjoyed looking at the liquor bottles behind the glass that cost anywhere from $100 to $500. I often wonder what a shot of $500 liquor would taste like. . Out on the floor they have some very unique liquors that I have never seen before.This liquor store is kind of hidden off the road so I hope they do well in this location. I don't know of any liquor store around here on this road so fingers crossed they do very well. Staff was super friendly.I noticed they even have a tasting area which I will come back in February to try."

Big C Liquors

★★★★☆ 4.4 (38) • $$

"We love all whiskey and they have tons of varieties. Loves that they are active on their IG and FB accounts to inform us what new items they get in. Friendly staff. Well- stocked and clean store. We recently took advantage of their Blantons bourbon deal. We also bought their Barrel Select Knob Creek. So smooth!!! Definitely recommend!"

Liquor 46

★☆☆☆☆ 1.3 (6) • $$$$

"Small Liquor store next to the Publix plaza just past the Lake Forrest Community, going west on SR-46. We were picking up a few items from Publix for a birthday party. I also needed a big bottle of something fun to drink for our game night, hence the reason to stop in to Liquor 46. The outside is deceiving, it is a small store at the end of the plaza, but don't let that deter you because they have a ton of liquor. I performed a brief recon of the brown liquor and Tequila section and noticed there was a lot of variety, but as other reviewers noted, more expensive than competitors in the area (probably because of the location i.e., Lake Forrest). The lady working the counter was nice enough and asked me if I needed help, which I didn't since I found what I needed in their main discount display.They had a special for their 1.75 liter of Fireball for $23.99, which isn't too bad. but I have seen it for less at ABC and Total Wine; regardless, I was in a pinch and didn't have time to shop around.I wouldn't say its the best liquor store in the area, but they do have good variety of liquor and tobacco products if you are in a bind and need something for a special occasion."

Wally's Bar And Liquor

★★★★☆ 4 (122) • $

"Such a fun bar and respectful people. Tonight I had a sour stomach... Idk if it was the drinks or the calamari or the burger either way... it had to come out. The ladies there were super nice on letting me handle my business in the bathroom. Too much right?!? Hey, this is why I like this bar. THE PEOPLE ARE JUST THAT AMAZING. I've been here before for drinks and still a great time. Tonight I was on a water mission while I whipping that ass on my favorite bar game: DARTS! I won twice. *insert curtesy* The establishment is inviting inside and out. Lots of parking & just a great time to hang out with friends or by yourself."

Big B Liquors

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"This is a nice store with a good selection of products. We were on our way to the beach and needed some refreshment's so we stopped in. The staff were great and helped us get what we wanted quickly. Prices were a few cents higher than some big chain places. This is locally owned business so I am good with supporting them and paying a slight premium."

The Neighbors Retail & Cocktail

★★★★★ 4.8 (117) • $$

"5 Stars for a seriously underrated cocktail program, new food options (Wed-Sun), and a retail shop of local goods.The Neighbors is the perfect spot to grab an assortment of locally-made and themed goods from cocktail mixers, to candles, to locally-themed shirts, socks, jewelry, etc. Beyond the retail options, it's a seriously good spot for a well-balanced cocktail in a casual setting. Their beverage program features rotating seasonal cocktails along with their mainstay standards, named after neighborhoods in Orlando. I had some favorites, but I've yet to find a drink that missed the mark. One thing that blows me away is their care and pricing on the spirit-free (non-alcoholic) section which features creative mocktails (running approx half the price of one of their normal cocktails), and N/A bottles and cans (similarly priced between $4-$7). So often N/A options are an afterthought or priced the same as their alcoholic counterparts and this feels really inclusive and thoughful.They used to host different chef-driven concepts for a year or two, almost like an incubator or residence program, but now they have a menu of light-ish bites that I'm excited to work my way through. So far I've only been able to try the focaccia with winter squash and chili crisp oil, but that alone blew me away. They bake the focaccia in-house and the winter squash with chili crisp was a revelation. The salty bread pairs perfectly with the sweet squash and then a bit of heat and crunch from the chili is absolute perfection. I won't lie, fingers were licked clean after this!I can't wait to try the rest of the menu and am so thankful to have this spot in the neighborhood!"

Wine O’Clock

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"This place is going to become a regular spot for me, I guarantee it.Nestled in Historic Downtown Ocoee is this gem of a restaurant and wine bar. I enjoy the concept of being a self-serve spot - it's almost like a wine arcade lol. Haven't gotten to try the food yet but after speaking to the owner Frank I am looking forward to enjoying flatbreads, pizzas, and their luncheon specials (peep their IG for schedule/details). And kudos to the staff (especially Victoria) for putting up with our request to play chess as the tables had "boards" on them but there were no pieces to use. We asked about corks and sharpies and about 20 minutes later Wine O'Clock had a custom set of cork pieces ready to play with thanks to our crafting session."

Digress Wine

★★★★★ 4.7 (26)

"5 Stars for a bottle shop/wine bar that delivers on a cheers-like neighborhood ambiance, great recommendations, and special wines you wouldn't normally try.I was introduced to Digress to speak at a board meeting for an org, taking place in the Digress Cellar. This is a semi-private room with floor to ceiling glass allowing you sound privacy, while still feeling airy and not at all claustrophobic. Immediately, I was making plans in my head for a small, private birthday tasting event in the cellar... (The burden of being a born-event planner.)Rob Chase, the co-owner, came by to take my order and I was a bit vague-- "A full-bodied red, plz." I don't know a lot about wine, other than I love red wine and the more opaque and rich, the better. He came back with something that hit the mark for me.After the meeting, I sat at the bar and chatted with Rob and a regular patron. The laid-back, neighborhood vibe here is something that makes you want to protect it and get on first name basis with the owners and regulars. It really is special.Besides the Cellar and bar, there are tables to one side of the space, and wine shelves on the other. This is a retail seller of wines, to be clear. They've got really cool rare bottles as well as wonderful staples. And they're totally unpretentious if you need help choosing. There's also an outdoor patio that looks like it would be charming and perfect for a good fall/spring day or night. Overall, I'm a big fan. Though their hours aren't that of a typical bar at the moment, they're working on hiring and staying open later. For now, this is the kind of local joint that I want to support. Cool people, who are passionate about their products, and who happen to be lovely to be around too. Check!"

Mr Grocers

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (2)

"I placed an order with these lot on 22nd of october,according to their site at the time they could do international deliveries, so i placed one for $37.98(in gbp thats about 25 quid) and yet here i am six weeks later,my goodies havent come,nobody has responded to my emails or voicemails or facebook messages. I've been calling for the last month and still NADDA! today when i called i actually got through to a rude man who,after telling me to call back in four hours,slammed the phone down on me ruuuuuuuude! if i could rate them zero Or minus numbers i rewally would...all i wanted was some ruffles and some lays,not a big ask...Never again MrGrocers..."

Legacy Liquors & Wine Longwood

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"Walked by this place on the way to the auto repair shop from the gym. So, I thought, support local small business already, and at least pop your head in there to see what they're about, and write a review, even though it seemed unlikely I was going to buy anything (which, I didn't need to). Shop is very neat, merchandising is decent, and prices are reasonable (but not as low as the big stores in most cases, of course). Selection was what you could call 'limited' compared to Total Wine or even an ABC, but I was kind of surprised to see several wines which I don't normally see in local stores, which made things interesting. While I didn't buy anything, check them out, cuz you might!"

Royal Liquors

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"Came to the plaza to get my phone fixed, saw this new liquor store. Apparently the grand opening is this Friday! The store employee was just as new as the store, having worked 4 days. But she did come from another liquor store, so she had some knowledge. However. She admitted to not being a big drinker lol. I asked about rate bourbons behind the counter, special order items. They didn't have any. What I did find was some fairly spectacular tequilas in their top shelf. Their Clase Azul Gold is a 1L but overpriced at 899. The white and blue bottle that most of us have seen was 199, which is a good price. The store is fairly large. A lot of vodkas. Especially flavored vodkas. Many shelves have room for more items. The employee said the owner is open to ideas, if you want something they don't have, he will order it! Opening at 9am is awesome. That's a lot earlier than most places. They have a tasting section with some open bottles. She offered me a sample of whatever I wanted, but I declined. Too early to start drinking with all these errands I need to do today. However, this Friday, at their official grand opening, she said they will be sampling everything! So come on by if there's something you've been meaning to try before you buy. I picked up a bottle of gin that I tried at a local event in Baldwin park last fall- Uncle Val's as well as a bourbon I tried at the Aspen food and wine festival this past summer- Stranahan's. Pretty sure when I looked at abc and total wine and they didn't have either of these, although they might have them now. Lots of mixers. Worth a trip if you need something. Gonna check out those Serbian Lebanese liquors- Arak, online."

Broken Cage

★★★★★ 4.6 (51) • $$

"Before heading to the Wine Walk, we decided to drop by this charming little spot. We spent over an hour captivated by Jess, the bartender, during Happy Hour. What a beautiful person!Cocktails were unique and so tasty! I had the Florida Highball, a gin based drink bursting with citrus. The decor is spot on. The cozy booths felt like you were being nestled amidst the tree tops. And as for food, it's available to order from the connected restaurant, RusTeak. Everything was packed with flavor!I can't recommend this spot enough! It's truly a gem worth visiting."

M & D Liquor

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7) • $$

"My wife and I always come to M & D Liquor it's the best liquor store in all of Winter Park. The owners are really awesome people who know how to take care of their customers with the best customer service you can ask for from a local business. The owners also have their son help them run the store his name is Jay and he is the best as well, he always knows what cigarettes I am there to buy that's what I call knowing your usual customers. They always have a great selections of craft beers, import beers, wine, liquor, and domestic beers. If you are ever looking for something that they don't carry just ask Jay and he will try to order it for you so its in the store for you to buy. One of the coolest things they have in their store is Hard Ice Cream which is ice cream with liquor in it I have tried the Apple Pie Flavor and it was pretty lit and delicious. Lastly all the prices of everything is really good you will never break your bank while shopping at M & D liquor. So if you are looking for a place with great customer service and I wide variety of alcohol then M & D Liquor is the spot you need to shop @ if you are ever in the Winter Park, FL area. So Let's get our drink on responsibly."

Pickle Barrel General Store

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (8)

"My husband and I like trying and supporting locally owned businesses so we were looking forward to the Pickle Barrel. It's a bar/restaurant that apparently just really wants to be a bar. The menu was very limited and we were told only verbally that there was fish available which wasn't listed on the menu. I had the steamed shrimp which was fine, the cocktail sauce not so much. Hubs had a hamburger that appeared to be just a frozen patty, the type you can buy in bulk and a sad looking bun. Service was ok. Could be quite a fun place as a bar though. I won't go back for the food."
