The Bottle Shop is a true local gem. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you find exactly what you're looking for. Whether they point you in the right direction or personally walk you to the item, their customer service is outstanding. Their selection is impressive, and chances are good they'll have whatever you're searching for. The store is cozy, welcoming, and well-lit. The only minor drawback is that it can feel a bit cramped when it's especially busy. Overall, it's a fantastic shop with great people, excellent service, and an outstanding selection. read more

Don't waste your time. Claustrophobic, nonsensically arranged and yet average selection of overpriced alcohol. You can get the same stuff anywhere else for less money. read more

Price gouging literally go anywhere else, they have the same stuff at smart and final for damn near 1/4 the price

Great selection, and a convenient location! It's a museum of alcohol. Go check it out if you're in the area.

Second time in & this is by far my favorite shop I've ever been to. The selection is BONKERS & there's literally everything you could think of. Great selection, great service, and just an awesome place. Christian is so helpful & just an overall awesome person. I love bourbon & had a great time just hanging out & chatting. I was in town for a special occasion & he was so helpful in answering any questions, giving me recommendations, & just made my experience unforgettable. I was staying next door for a few days & must've came into the shop 4 or 5 times. It's really one of a kind & a place I'll go back to whenever I can. Thanks again, Christian, & happy holidays! read more

Bottle Shop - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My Go-To shop in town for Tequila. The bottle shop in Montecito is one of those places where you can find something for literally anyone. Totally unasumming liquor store from the outside in the middle of Montecito's Coast Village Road, jam packed with everything from food, liquour, wine, beer, and NA beverages. One couldn't possible sift through everything available for purchase in just one visit. Both the Owner Mark and his son Christian are always so friendly and willing to help find exactly what you're looking for. read more

My husband Matt B. and I walked into Bottle Shop after dinner on Coast Village Road hoping to pick up a couple things we could use to make cocktails at his dad's house. We weren't expecting much, just a slightly bigger selection than, say, Von's. The place looked pretty unassuming from the outside, so we figured it was your average corner liquor store. We were surprised to find it stuffed to bursting with bottles of every kind. The only thing they didn't seem to have was green chartreuse, but the guy behind the counter knew off the top of his head that they'd recently run out of it, and we had no problem finding other things to drink. We decided to get stuff for Paper Planes and set about gathering amaro, Aperol, and bourbon. We took turns exploring the store as we walked in with our toddler and the shop was small enough that the stroller couldn't go past the front room. I enjoyed my turn in the cave of wonders, scanning shelf after shelf of bourbon while Matt entertained our son (lots to see in a crowded liquor store, for mom, dad, and baby!). The selection was almost overwhelming. Now that we know what Bottle Shop is like, we'll definitely be back whenever we need liquor in Montecito. For a little neighborhood place, the selection is beyond impressive. read more

One of the best places to buy mezcal. Very interesting shop. Chock full of everything you can imagine to drink or make a drink.

My wife stopped in for a coffee and a snack on the way to the zoo for our son's birthday. They were beyond nice and helpful. When my wife went to pay they said there was no charge since it was our son's birthday. They even threw in a candy bar to our sons delight. This was an unexpected and lovely surprise. What a great start to their day. No question we will be bringing our business here. read more

Hands down one of the coolest stores in California this liquor store has almost any bottle you can dream of! And they never run out amazingly ran super friendly staff! The place has everything you need always look forward to coming back! read more

Amazing collection of single malt whisky - wow! When I'm in a new town I always look for the best whisky shop and this is it for Santa Barbara. Great collection read more

Bottle Shop - a display of bottles of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

See all

This has been my go-to liquor store for years! I always find what I'm looking for and the service is beyond welcoming & helpful every time. Their selection is quite large so be prepared to find even the most exclusive of bottles. Even if they don't have it, the owner and his son go out of their way to locate it for you and get it to you. sweetest family. read more

This place has one of the best bourbon/whiskey selections in So.Cal. Floor to ceiling packed with the usual suspects and some rare gems. I've found all 3 Weller labels here the several times I've gone. I love it! I stop in whenever I head north from Santa Clarita Surburban Wasterland read more

This shop is packed floor to ceiling with inventory. Wine, liquor, cigars, snacks. The owner and his son are super nice and helpful!

This place has everything you can think of and so overstocked with rare bourbons everywhere you look. The shipments keep coming, but the reason for the well stocked shop is the price. Everything is way overpriced. It's a great experience and cool place to walk through, but if you're looking for anything more than your daily bourbons, you will be paying a minimum of a 1000% markup or more. read more

This place is amazing - the SB Home Improvement Center of liquor stores. All sorts of things you can't get elsewhere, stuffed wall to wall and floor to ceiling. I recently called about a French grapefruit liquor. They said they didn't carry anything like that, but my wife went in and yes, they had a bottle. Other recent finds include cherry brandy from Alsace and Koloa rum. You'll find what you're looking for...and more, but don't expect much in the way of help. read more

Be careful here. The selection is great, but you know you're paying a hefty premium for that selection and location. What got me was the random "SVC" charge of about 4% on my purchase. No idea what that was about. Discovered it on my receipt when I got home. It's bad enough to pay inflated prices. Totally uncool to have some fee snuck in there when you're not looking. read more

Have been looking all over for a specific whiskey and tequila for months now and OF COURSE I FOUND IT HERE!! Christian and Kevin helped me understand the rarity of the certain tequila I bought and recommended so many different options. Job well done by these guys! Will For-sure be back!! read more

Unbelievable liquor store. This place is truly a liquor museum! Every bottle ever made, this place probably has. Their staff is also extremely knowledgeable on all of their products. Christian helped me pick a bottle of tequila for the holidays and I'm very happy I chose to come here! Best shop I've ever visited. Highly recommend! read more

The Bottle Shop - What can i say ? Well...what we all look for,. . .a terrific selection and nice warm welcoming service. You usually get one without the other, but not here, YOU'RE AWARDED WITH 'BEST OF BOTH WORLDS". Hope for rarities, welcome learning about new spirits, and good service. This place has it ALL !!! I went in for one rare tequila, and walked out with another older but terrific condition (from they're TLC) and taste, as well as more hard to find liquors i would have never dreamed they had. Mark and Christian are detailed, polite, and ALWAYS with a SMILE ! They're guarded knight dont smile too much. . .lol, but then again he's got a face mask and i can't see the expression. THANK YOU THE BOTTLE SHOP !!! I'm already coming again, tomorrow. See you then !!! Christopher and family read more

OVER OVER OVER priced!! Ok for a quick drop in for some ice or a sixer but AVOID for purchases of champagne or higher end specialty liquor. Was charged $50!! over what others sell a special mezcal for. $119 ($135 after tax) vs. $69! My bad for not doing the research. read more

this place is so awesome! I'm not from Santa Barbara and I just wanted to liquor store and I thought it would be a small mom and pop shop but when I walked in it was huge and there is so so so much alcohol in there, many varieties whiskey bourbon scotch wines champagnes vodka rum gin liquors and every type of mixer you could possibly want I did notice that the wine was a tad bit overpriced and you could probably get cheaper at a grocery store but I would rather buy here than at a chain!! demand that was working who I can only assume was the owner, was very nice and helpful! read more

Walking in here is like a combination of entering your pack-rat old Uncle Albert's home and Ali Baba's cave of glittering treasures, except it's all alcohol. The space is a former gasoline station, and the inside is packed wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling with liquor of every type imaginable. If you're looking to browse, good luck, I'll see you in about a week. If you're looking for something specific, best to ask the man at the counter, because it's there, even uncommon items, but only he knows how to traverse the labyrinth of bottles and boxes to find the item you desire. And kudos for carrying a line of Ritter Sport chocolates. See, there's something for everyone. The Bottle Shop saved our hineys when we needed some Everclear (side note, worst fratboy pickup line ever: "Everclear. It's mostly water.") for homemade triple sec. It's just not commonly available these days, and there wasn't time to mail order. This shop's massive variety is quite admirable, but it's also the cause of the lost point - everything packed on the shelves, stacked up on the floors and spilling out along the pathways. There may be some vague organization, but not enough to be intuitive. You'd really never guess from the non-descript outside that the inside was so stuffed to the brims with a cornucopia of liquor. Most notable landmark nearby to help guide you here: Peabody's next door. read more

Looks like an alcoholic edition of the "Hoarders" TV show, but man, the selection is impressive. Whomever owns this place must love whiskies, they're everywhere. This was the one place where I could find Bastille 1789, a moderately-priced French whisky that I'd been searching for for months. The wine selection could be better despite the signage out front, but if you're looking for hard liquor, this place probably has it. read more

I would give this place five stars and would come here to buy a nice bottle of scotch when in town... But that is where the good review ends. The prices in here are just plain ridiculous. Everything is at least 35% more than retail. Many of the nicer bottles are double or triple retail. I understand capitalism, but this is silly. The reason why this place has so much stock is that they don't sell anything. This place is a hoarders den. read more

Not much else you can say about a liquor shop except: Beer before liquor never been sicker Liquor before beer have no fear Packed with all types of beer and alcohol. Also offered Unique types of Cider. Not great customer service but not bad either ... Lol Prove point was a little high 28.00 for two ciders and 2 individual beers read more

Wether its a bottle of cooks, of a bottle of Dom, they have everything !! And honestly the best selection of tequila on the planet.. I love this place, and the staff is amazing! read more

Bottle Shop - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Ok, if you plan of looking for a beer, bottle of wine of other cocktail you better be prepared to take a while. This place has more inventory in a tight location than I have ever seen. One of my big issues is they have graft beer warm on the shelf which to me is a big no no. read more

Walked in to inquire about a specific wine but was so blown away by the immense selection that I walked out with 2 new bottles of a wine that I had heard of and I knew the price was damn good. I was eager to get home to try it. It was quite exceptional and I knew I found a great little gem of a liquor store. I have never seen so many bottles of Sheer ecstasy in one place! read more

Owner has got to be the sweetest man ever! Extremely knowledgeable and guaranteed to help you find what you are looking for. They got a great selection of everything including bourbon. Def worth stopping in and checking it out! read more

Stopped in here for a bottle of champagne...came out nearly an hour later with bottles of Scotch, Bourbon and finally a bottle of Champagne. As others have commented, this place is packed full of liquor!!! Yes, it is a liquor store, and liquor is to be expected, but WOW!!! The bottles are stacked to the ceiling and there are even more bottles around every corner! It's like a maze of alcohol. I almost got lost, but the owner/employee who was on duty knew exactly where to find everything I needed, and he was surprisingly friendly. read more

This place is a mess. Overpriced everything. And beware buying the wines. I am a local and I remember thinking a couple of years ago when we had a "hot spell" that I would never buy wine in this hot, crowded place with no air conditioning. Tonight I dropped in to buy popcorn and a couple of bars. My total was about $6. I had to charge my purchases. They charged me 75cents to use my credit card. Very illegal. read more

Probably the best Scotch selection in SB County. Prices are ~15% above normal.

A pretty incredible selection. Some of the stuff is pricey, but well worth it to find the stuff you can't get anywhere else. Brian was very helpful and really knows his inventory. read more

Cool little shop with lots of drink options. We've been here at least twice to grab a couple of things over the years. They have tons of wine, beer options, hard liquor, and the basics you want the day after. (We grabbed some water and Gatorade.) read more

I stopped by the bottle shop over the weekend, I could not believe the selection this place has. I was there for 40 minutes just admiring the their merchandize. Not once did I feel rushed and the staff was so helpful and friendly. Stopped by for a few ipas and walked out with bourbons tequila and a 2 liter. They blow bevmos prices away. Never going back to crapmo. Thanks bottle shop. read more

Always a good spot to stop for your needs. Crowded with items you need to buy, don't mind the tourists that pull up behind you when parking in the 'drive through' the suit of armor will protect you! Great selection of all your spirit needs, and always a friendly face when you check out. read more

This place has a great selection of fine cigars. The shop was clean and neat and easy to get around in. We will be back if in need of cigars! read more

Awesome place!!!! Every single bottle you may need is here! The guy working is very friendly and helpful as well! Some bottles I've never seen before are here as well!!! Awesome place read more

You'll find it here. A real gem, right in my own neighborhood. If you're looking for a great selection of single-malt scotch, a rare or limited edition bourbon, a craft beer to make that backyard barbeque get-together something special, or a tequila or other favorite spirit to take your party over-the-top; The Bottle Shop is the place. The proprietor has built an inventory like I've never seen... knowledgeable, friendly, and personable makes this place a great find. When I discovered their vast selection of premium cigars, I was even more impressed with this unique liquor oasis of selection. You should stop there and check it out and you too will become a regular at The Bottle Shop. Oh yeah, the shelve are packed with great wines, ports, and champagnes also. And I should mention, plenty of free parking with easy access. read more
