It's such a cozy little spot, perfect for enjoying some wine, and their food is good too. We purchased our wine upstairs, from an excellent selection. We were out for Portuguese wine and we were impressed with their stock, since it tends to be limited in most shops. We had to decide between a few but purchased a bottle of Nieport red: Lagar de Baixo from the Bairrada region, which was excellent! We went downstairs and asked if we could chill the wine slightly, the waiter was very nice and brought a bucket of ice. We sat in the sort of lounge area, in big comfy chairs near the fireplace, and it just couldn't have been more cozy. We also tried their bread and spread plates and they were both very good, we particularly loved the bacon jam! We are looking forward to being back (and often) to try more of their wine and food. The staff are so helpful and welcoming, the selection is excellent, the ambience is lovely, it couldn't be better! Highly recommended for an evening out with friends, or a romantic date night.

My neighboury guilty pleasure…read more It's shops like that that makes living in Dublin great. I love this place. They have an incredible choice of beer and of whiskey. But that's not the best. They have an incredible customer service: the staff is always nice, always here to help, and they know their sh.t.... I mean stuffs. Plus, the shop is opened really late, which is awesome for a booze store. Even if you don't know what you want, they will never laugh at you for a small budget. They made us try some great whiskey, always explaining where it comes from, how it is done, why does it tastes that way, etc. I trust them eyes close to help me choose the best beers, and to find nice crafty beers from small breweries. So stop asking questions, and just go there!

Not that she is a raging boozer but she does like a tipple or three like her daughter. Yet she suffers from the Irish Mammy syndrome of being unable to treat herself to the finer things in life and in drink. It may taste like diluted piddle, "But jaysus Annie it was only 70c a tin - bargain." "Indeed Mam." I loaded my bag with as many different beers that I could manage. From Belfast Blonde to Dungarven to Brooklyn to San Francisco to Munich and more in between. For such a tiny shop they have a great selection of beer and it was a treat to do a tasting session with the parentals and not feel like we were drinking fizzy chemicals just cause it was cheap. If I can avoid a sore head the next day for some extra €'s then I will.

Recommended this place by Emily C who lives 5 mins around the corner and told they had a great selection of beers I was initially thinking they'd maybe have the odd good craft beer but no no no, upon arrival I was taken into a world of fine fine beers from all over the world - and lots of it! There's a giant fridge in the back with all sorts of American rarities, European amazingness, lots of British craft and even Irish (which I thought was good to try seeing as I was in town - not too bad, needs a few more hops...). The truth is I could have been here all day deciding if I wasn't with my chums and off for dinner so after a quick 5 min chat with the super helpful/extremely knowledgable guy in the back went on my way with my tasty wares! I imagine there's some great wine on offer too if you look for this sort of thing but I was fully in blinkers on mode and went straight for the beer. Next time I'm in town I'll be paying a return visit.

Kelly's has served me as my local off-licence for years, and I love this place. The staff are…read morefantastic, the selection is very good, and they offer some great deals. The guys generally pick a selection of wines to put on special in the centre of the floor, generally around the €10 mark, and they change frequently: for example, during the summer, you're likely to find some fruity barbecue wines on offer. Advice is available if, like me, you don't know much about your wines, and they're more than happy to steer you towards value-for-money rather than try to upsell. As a beer man myself, Kelly's is miles better than the other local off-licence. They stock all the usual suspects in an open fridge, but they also have an excellent selection of quality imports such as Flensburger, Baltika, Spaten, etc. They stock some good Irish brews as well, and regularly have five for €10 on some of the good European beers. Better selection, better staff, and good deals. What more could you want? While you could probably find better bargains on mass-produced plonk in Tesco's or similar, these guys have a great selection and know their stuff. As a small local business, they do an outstanding job serving their customers, too. And if you need it, they can sort out your party needs with glass hire, too.

Let's get some wine, real wine, not from Tescos wine. Let's go to Oddbins! I have to say that the most shocking thing I found about Oddbins was that I could actually afford anything other than Dorritos. They really do have a full spectrum price range, but they were a bit snooty when I asked the difference between the dark stuff and the paler bottles. Snobs, it was a perfectly reasonable question.

Mitchell & Son is a high-end off-licence in the CHQ Building at Docklands…read more Some great wines, champagnes and liqueurs are stocked here and it would be a good place for a wino to shop for wine. They have really large selections of wine from the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions, and also a large selection of German wine, which you don't see all that frequently. Look out for their gift boxes - you can get a gift-boxed set of 2 bottles of prosecco for just over 20 euro. Wow - thinking about gifting one of them to myself! Mitchell & Son also stocks a small selection of chocolates and deli items such as jams and chutneys. Not sure how quickly these would run out the door in an offy but it's nice to see them trying something different. They also run six week wine appreciation courses - what I wouldn't do to be a part of that group (except maybe, pay the 330 euro course fee! Ouch!)

Very nice location for the locals, you can park you car there with no problem. there is always good value offers and a nice selection and variety of wines. I normally go there for a bottle of red, white or Rosé and never be disappointed, it is hard to thinks about prices in some others countries, but to be honest that it'll cost more and there is no need...unless you buy pallets!!!

Off licenses are also not great with the notable exception of Molloy's on the Clonsilla road. Apart from the fact that it's massive, the selection of beer is very impressive.

Beer aside, there is an impressive wine selection as well as spirits and there's usually special offers enough to keep everyone happy.
