It isn't much to look at. In fact, the first time I came here I was a little uneasy about going in…read more But then I did! I still think it is awfully...rough feeling, but the surrounding area is having a bit of a renaissance it seems and I can only hope that it will benefit this local business and perhaps give them a nudge to nice-en up the place a bit. It is a fairly basic two-aisle liquor store. But I have found what I wanted or needed every time I have visited. Most recently it was for wine. I was in ever so dire neeeeed of some inexpensive wine (because there was a winter storm coming and a party to attend and I needed to be prepared for both!) The center aisle of shelves is mostly wine. It comes up to about waist/ribcage height (on a short, short gal like me). Everything is easy to see and easy to reach. And I was pleased and impressed with the selection of local options! Not the biggest or best selection ever, but for a small, neighborhood liquor store is was nice to see. Prices are decent, the staff is as friendly as any liquor store staff I have encountered (which might not actually be saying much, but as a comparison...you know...) I recently moved to the 'hood so I anticipate bringing them my business unless my needs are very specific or very expensive, neither of which are a regular occurrence.

Nothing inspiring, but friendly enough service. Never a destination, just a convenience. I will limit my complaining to this. There is a drive-thru for those too busy or lazy or disabled to get out of their car. And on top of that there are something like 18 parking spaces for a business that couldn't possibly need more than four or five. And to beautify the landscape, there is one small, rather neglected tree on the easement. I wouldn't ask for a garden or anything major. Maybe a flower box?

Before they started their business, we had a big problem with the old grungey Mini Market -- especially drug deals, loitering and other illegal activities. Now?... I have NEVER seen any problems.

I'm grateful that they carry daily items like sodas, coffee, etc., AND THEY ARE DOG FRIENDLY!

It's good to know that even 6 years ago I liked Old Town…read more But now....I LOVE Old Town! 5 stars!! I think the biggest difference now is that I drink beer. Back when I wrote my first review, in the good, old days of 2012, I lived on the same street as Old Town and it was easy to get to and had wine that I liked in my preferred price range (so...sweet, white and cheap...just like me! Hey-ooo! :-P) Now, I will regularly go out of my way to make a stop at Old Town. And these days it is primarily for their top notch beer selection! I am always prepared for the cold when I visit Old Town now, because I know I am going to be perusing the beer cave for quite some time. They rank among the top four places in Louisville I excitedly go to, in order to explore special, hard to find, interesting, sought after beer. Even if I am not looking for something specific, I am going to find something I already like if not something that piques my interest enough to try! The biggest plus of a visit to Old Town, aside from the friendly and helpful staff, is that you can buy just about all the beer options as SINGLES. This is huge. This changed my beer-drinking life. I have been able to try so many more beers because of this. When you aren't roped in to buying a four (or more) pack and the beer is 'fancy' and costs $5 or more per beer....doors suddenly open up! Old Town is in the middle of the Highlands, so parking can be tricky. They have a few dedicated parking spaces as well as a drive-thru (if you know exactly what you want) but beyond that it is going to be street parking. They still carry a great selection of wine and liquor, as well as some snack type things (thing cheese and crackers and chocolates). You should absolutely pay a visit to Old Town Wine and Spirits. Just leave some beer for me!

I was able to Try Big House, which was also 1 per customer. It was great bourbon. $50/bottle I was told because I was from out of town (Cincinnati) he would let me buy 2. Wow! That was nice! On the way back home, we stopped at Party Source in Newport... price was $25. Ouch! I got over it. Then I was at Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, Ohio and saw it there... $18.00. I felt duped and will not go back.

Lovely hidden gem off Baxter!!…read more If your into Bourbon, I definitely suggest you drop by this liquor store. I saw a video where a Bourbon hunter stopped here. I immediately added it to my list of stops for future visits. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made some great suggestions and offered feedback. They have some very nice deeply discounted Bourbon, wine, and beer options. I was able to grab a few items I had been on the fence on for a great price. Definitely stop by here if you visit Louisville. Great people selling great bourbon Bourbon.

They planned an unbelievable experience for us that could not have been better. Nicole was an amazing host, everything was first class, and we felt like we got an experience far beyond the other other "tourists" discovering the bourbon trail. Everything was planned perfectly, every distillery a special experience (7 in two days!) and all the extras made for a trip we will remember for a long time. I HIGHLY recommend using their services for a customized and memorable trip. Thank you Nicole and Matson+Gilman!

What a delightful spot in Shelby Park to shop!…read more My friend and I stopped in here after attending a private event next door at the Canary Club. And I wanted to buy so much! This spot has such a fun assortment of gift items to buy. For example, I saw Heated Rivalry-themed items, Louisville stickers and art, Moomin toys, a large Peanuts display and so many other bits of kitsch and fun. For food, there's a freezer of Louisville Cream, great sauces, candy and more. And the alcohol selection is really what shines! Lots of wine, beer and bourbon -- some you can drink on-site and others you'd take home. I ended up buying two types of seltzers I've been wanting to try. If this all sounds jumbled together, it's really not. It all works, and I love the style of Breeze so much as well. This store is pleasantly filled without feelings disjointed or overstuffed. It's definitely a great spot to peruse if you're in the area!
