The date is 4/20/2026--a frigid, dark, and stormy night at the intersection of McClintock and…read moreSouthern. A weary traveler arrives and sits down at his favorite bar--Bottleshop48, located at 3318 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, in the Aldi shopping center. He orders a crisp glass of Bottleshop Water, known to the regulars simply as "water," and rests for a moment as a film begins to play on the main TV. Brad and Angelina appear. It is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the acclaimed 2005 action/comedy. A small tear rolls down his face; finally, he will be able to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith from start to finish. Finally, his life will have meaning beyond the crude dionysian pursuit of wine, women, and song. Today, he thinks: "my suffering will end: I am free from the banality of the world outside, with a full 2 hours of action/comedy to enjoy, cold drink in hand, hale companions to my left and to my right." But this man was mistaken. Instead a challenger appears--a man from the wrong side of the tracks, a man bent on ruining our hero's uninterrupted viewing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Shockingly this newcomer requests the TV remote. He brazenly downloads the Sling Freestream app on the TV. He scrolls through the Sling Freestream app's numerous free ad-supported options and chooses--impossibly--Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. Our hero protests meekly, in earnest: "but I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith." "Oh sorry," the upstart pretender responds, surprised that someone would be so interested in seeing the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Does our hero challenge this cruel usurper to fisticuffs for the TV remote? No. Does he chuck a beer at this sadistic lover of classic British humor? No. Does he strip naked and dance atop the bar in a lewd manner to assert his dominance over the TV? He does not. A man of peace--a true lover not a fighter and a known Ryan Gosling look-alike--our hero grits his teeth and accepts the excruciating truth that he will see no more of Brad and Angelina on this night. He simply pays his tab and exits into the freezing late April air, never to know true happiness. Never to experience complete extasy. Never to see the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The blonde older lady working in the tequila section on Saturday was just flat out rude. My…read moreboyfriend and I were looking for recommendations for tequila. She made it seem like we were there to get drunk??? She had an attitude basically the whole time she was talking to me. For no reason. At one point I said "never mind" and wanted to walk away but she tried to make up for her attitude and gave us a couple options to try. The tequila was great and both my boyfriend and I agreed we were gonna come back to purchase the Suavecito (but we already had our hearts set on a wine from a wine sample we tried). The gentleman at the wine section was a whole lotttt friendlier. Since we tried a couple of tequila samples and didn't buy any tequila at the time, when we walked away, she said "All that and you still didn't buy anything". Girl. The attitude. Just flat out rude. If you're so miserable at your job, find a new one. Also it's so uncomfortable being followed around the whole time you shop there. Literally feels like hawks around you. I definitely won't be back. The wine is good tho!

I love coming here for the wine classes! I think this store in particular does the best ones!…read more This time the class was about Italian wines! Stew and Mark always make it so fun! They are both very knowledgeable about the wines, and always answer everyone's questions. They also give generous pours. The snacks they had were different bruschettas, and they were delicious! A lot of the wines we sampled in this class were less then $20 which is an awesome price point for good wine. I definitely took home a few bottles. Highly recommend taking a class here.

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Variety is a 10/10, liquor, ciders, wine, swag, bar accessories, etc. After several samples I knew I needed food, we headed to their patio and ordered pizza. I had the mushroom with light cheese. It came out fast and was very good, the bite on that crust was perfect, the ingredients tasted fresh. My friends had the margarita pizza and they said there's was also delicious, some of the best pizza they've had. They had games on the patio and plenty of seating. The weather and full moon last night made it a perfect evening! (We did hit two other Trevor's right after.. gotta take advantage when you have a DD .. cheers!! )

Again, the food was great as usual, but the customer service tonight was very disappointing.
