Watch out: if you browse here and decide not to buy anything you're likely to get insulted. After a browse through their whiskey and a "thank you", the staff member made a point to walk out and say angrily "you're just looking for allocated shit like everyone else??" I guess deciding to take out his frustrations with the world on me. The actual answer is no, I'm not into bourbon, but enjoy browsing scotch, and don't think entering a store is an agreement that I'm required to purchase something. read more

Man, I hate to write this. I was super excited to see the shop was now a female owned and run spot. They still have some pretty good beers. They definitely grab good, less available beers. They should be visited for that alone, I presume their wine selection is also solid. Unfortunately, the level of pompous from the woman that I do not believe is the owner (but is always there smoking cigs out front) exhibits is amazing. I can find all of the beers they have at other spots, so no need to deal with that. I now stop there only out of convenience and probably won't after this post. I just wish they would drop the front and bring back the idea that their special selection is for everyone. There are spots around town that are much more approachable. This just seems like they have a staff that is too cool for the product. Beer should be approachable like Joyride. Overall, my review is 'meh' read more

What a gem of a boutique spirits shop by Sloan's Lake! They offer a large variety of wines and spirits including craft liquors, hard kombucha, sparkling wine cocktails, sparkling CBD beverages, and a wide selection of craft and boutique beers. I picked up a variety of beverages to keep on hand for guests! Their staff is helpful and welcoming. I can't wait to return to peruse their well curated selections further! read more

Always a solid local choice. Really helpful staff and an excellent, curated selection. And they love dogs! My pup gets so pumped when it's included in our walk (biscuits and pets)! read more

They've been nice to us and they usually have super specific liquor in stock. One guy on the phone did say they had a tequila in stock and then we went in and another employee, maybe the manager/owner said they didn't, whoops! Luckily they have other great options. Will return. read more

Hidden gem located in Edgewater right near Sloan's Lake. This place boast a wide selection of hand crafted items but also a good place to pick up a sixer of banquets, or whatever. The owner, Ryan, is a great guy and knows his $h!t. Give him an idea of what you're looking for and he'll steer you in the right direction. Did I mention that this place sells cheese, cigs, and Little Man ice cream? Cheers read more

Disclaimer: over the years, due to my regular consumption of beer, wine, champagne, liquor, Little Man ice cream, and charcuterie, I've gotten to know Ryan (the boss man) quite well. And he rocks. So this can hardly be considered an entirely independent review... That said, as this and the other reviews would tell you, this shop is the real friggin' deal. You'll find stuff here you didn't even know you wanted to try, which can itself be overwhelming. But Ryan and his staff taste literally every single thing they carry, so you can actually get the inside scoop on new stuff you might be hesitant to try without talking to someone that has had it. And if the stars align, you'll find that your visit coincides with one of their tastings. Who doesn't like free booze? I usually will just tell Ryan or one of his colleagues what kind of mood I'm in, and out I walk with a six-pack and pint of Salted Oreo ice cream. Sixth star: like much in Edgewater, this bottle shop is dog friendly and there's a jar of treats by the door for all the good boys & girls. Seventh star: their rewards program beats the pants off of 3 cents/gallon gas discounts from King Soopers. I've got an airplane shot of Rumchata to prove it. read more

Lots of Colorado products: booze and beer. A friendly welcome. Interesting wine selection. Check it out. read more

Great selection of craft beer and small batch liquor. It's an awesome local representation with very friendly and knowledgeable staff! 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a bottle of wine to go with a meal or something to share with friends, you'll find it here read more

I recently moved away from Colorado, and this shop is one of the places I'm missing. A wonderful little liquor store that has a better selection than you'd think given the size of the space, and a staff that really knows their stuff. I got so many recommendations here, and discovered some really great drinks. Definitely worth checking out - you will find something you like here for sure! read more

Bottles and Bitters definitely fills a niche that was missing in Edgewater. Very glad to see it replace the shitty, overpriced liquor store that was here prior. You'll definitely still be paying a convenience tax, but at least now it's filled with local craft beer and spirits, not generic domestic brands. Plus, the owner is really enthusiastic and happy to give recommendations. If you've ever been to Hugo's in Cap Hill, this is Hugo's West Denver twin. read more

Always a joy to shop here. Last time I was in there was a beer tasting which is really cool in such a small shop. I tried to buy something and the employee asked a few questions and stated this probably wasn't my jam and I grabbed a bottle of Bullet instead. He gave me a nip of the other option I was looking at to try at home. He was right, not my jam. 5 stars - Malone's Choice read more

Of all the options in the area to purchase libations, Bottles and Bitters is really the best. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and ensures his inventory is not only interesting and top notch, but also a mix of affordability. Highly recommend you support this dedicated, niche business! read more

This store is run by a couple of dudes with PASSION for what they do. I don't normally spend an hour having a conversation with people that own a liquor store after they close when I just stop in to buy beer but tonight I did and it was great. The beer and liquor selection is phenomenal for a small 'corner store' style liquor store from a connoisseur standpoint, but if you just wanted to get drunk on a budget I'm sure that you could make that happen too. There were plenty of rare beers (in coolers too!) and the spirits were hand curated with an eye toward quality that I have very rarely seen in a shop of that size. I am absolutely, 100% impressed and will make it a point to go out of my way to shop here in the future. From a bar geek perspective, it is legitimately that good. read more

Selection is fine but I agree with the reviewer that the attitude of some of the employees is terrible. Snotty, opinionated, and pompous was a good term. I live right near by but I have decided to find another store that doesn't involve politics in my purchase. read more

Considering the fact that this liquor store replaced its predecessor that sold crack pipes in the neighborhood, I think this is an upgrade. Ryan, the owner has done a fantastic job of sourcing local beer and great wine to meet the needs of the Edgewater neighborhood. I have discovered some unbelievable beers here over the last year-plus that this place has been here, this is a fantastic addition to the Edgewater strip! read more

This place is awesome! The owner is super cool and he knows his art!! Beyond a step up from what it used to be!! Great local selection! read more

Bottles & Bitters At Sloan's Lake - C Squared Cider sold here! Fabulousness!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

In previous attempts to post a rating for my boy, Ryan's place, apparently my 10 out of 5 stars didn't register. Regardless of this misleading, measly 100% gold star rating, he and his fine liquor store are truly a 10. read more

This place is great. I needed a last minute gift after 6pm on Christmas Eve. I called this store and although they had just closed, the owner waited for me. I don't know much about wine and he did a great job with recommendations. Reasonable prices too! I'll definitely be back. Thanks so much! read more

this has been my favorite neighborhood liquor store since it opened a few years back. The owner (Ryan) is so welcoming and friendly! He's also super educated about his product. All of his employees are very nice. There is a great selection of local product, as well as a large beer and wine variety. I love coming here! read more

Small store with a very good/interesting selection of spirits, wines (from many countries), liquors and beer. Helpful and very knowledgeable staff. Feels a bit like a scaled down version of Mondo Vino. read more

The only place to shop for whatever your beer, wine or spirits need is. Helpful staff and great boutique selection and feel. Worth the drive. read more

I wish I lived closer to this place because the selection and customer service is top notch. I look forward to stopping in again and trying out some of their other favorites. read more

So excited to have a pleasant and atmosphere to buy wine and spirits in. The owner is fantastic and super knowledgeable. The first time I went there, I asked if they carried a type of wine I like. They didn't happen to have it, but he said he would order it. The next time I came by the owner had the wine in Stock! I was very pleased. I stop by there all the time now and the owner is always friendly. I also learned they are offering tastings now! I'll definitely stop by for those well. Please help support our local edgewater businesses and patronize this place, it's great! read more

Great recommendations every single time because they've tried their product and are open to suggestions from the public in what to carry. LOTS of local variety which is super needed in supporting local flavor and the small business economy!! I come here whenever I'm in the hood and I can't say enough about this place and the staff and the fact that they love when you bring your dogs in!! Watch out - this place will soon become your favorite spot because you'll always walk out with the best!! read more

This is a new liquor store in Edgwater and the customer service was great! We were greeted by the owner when we first walked in and his brother was helping stock the shelves. The liquor store has been newly renovated inside and looks much nicer than the old one. The store is clean and stocked up. They need to add sugar free red bull though they only had regular red bull. The prices are okay considering it is a locally owned store. The location is great, near Sloans lake. We stopped by on a Friday night after happy hour and it wasn't busy at all. I paid roughly $24 for a handle of vodka. I will stop by again when I am in the area. I love to support new local business in the hood! read more

This place is incredible, we used to go to the old liquor store in its spot and I thought it looked different so I stopped in. The space has been renovated and looks great, the selection is unique - a lot of local options, and the staff is incredibly nice. I am gluten free and they have great gluten reduced options (i.e. Omission and even the local Rickoli's!) and the staff was really receptive to ordering more gluten reduced beers based on recommendation. We look forward to shopping here and supporting local business! read more

So excited to have a neighborhood small store that actually has great wine options. The owner is also very friendly and helpful. This is my new go to! read more

I really do love this place and I want to support it as much as I can so that it sticks around. There's great selection, whether you're looking for beer, wine, or hard liquor. To top it off, the owner or whoever happens to be there, know what the products taste like and can really be helpful. Gone are the days of the run-of-the-mill liquor stores where the dude at the counter says "I've never had it." Ok, yeah, maybe those still exist- but not here. Tell them what you're looking for and they'll give you a recommendation and then some. They taste everything that's in that store and it shows. They know their products! What a novel idea... read more

A great local place with a wonderful selection of niche and craft beers. They also have a really good selection of wine. The staff are great, and always up for making some good recommendations.You can tell when talking with them they are passionate about the products they sell. read more

Our favorite place to ready for the weekend. Great prices and the selection ranges from bud light to specially local bitters and liquors. The owner is a Backstreet Boys fan and discounted us an extra handle of whisky because he was out of what we were looking for. Best costumer service at a liquor store we've had. Quit playing games with my heart... -BK read more

I have never been to a liquor store that's had so many beers I've never had. I actually had to strategize about what to buy. Great service. Will drive back even though I don't live nearby. One of the best liquor stores I've been inside. read more

This place is the best. Ryan and Tim are sure to hook you up with exactly what you want. Don't let yourself miss out on this place. They are super helpful over the phone. read more

Great little shop in Edgewater. Lots of local options for craft beers. Good wine selection. Helpful staff and the owner is great, very friendly and knows his inventory well. I will definitely be shopping here regularly. read more

They get most of the good beer releases in town, and they tend to last a bit longer on the shelf since it's off the beaten path. Good weekly tastings and they sell little man ice cream to boot! read more
