The off-license is always well stocked and they have a good range of alcoholic beverages available, along with soft drinks and tobacco products.

I still recommend this store however as it is always well presented and have friendly staff!

I…read morehave lost track of the amount of times I have been at parties in the area and have had to make numerous trips to this wee off licence to get numerous carry outs. The stock is pretty good with plenty of good red wine if that is what tickles your fancy. The staff are friendly and helpful and you can usually get what you want. If you can't they should be able to get it in from one of the other Winemarks in town. There is good parking nearby and an ATM, but if you pay on your card you can get cashback, which is really handy.

Wouldn't like to admit how many times I've been in this off-license and if possible, it's the only…read moreone I ever go to. You know what you're getting with Winemark, a decent selection of your main beers, ciders and stouts, wines and spirits with good offers from time to time. The guys in Ballyholme Winemark know a decent bit about wine too if you're stuck and their staff have always been friendly over the 15 years I've been going here. I think it's the banter of the staff and sometimes other customers I go back for. They don't offer a breathtaking variety of spirits but I suppose they know their target customers well enough by now. Recently due to the boom of craft beers they've started stocking some terrific ones from the Hilden brewery which I have been sampling keenly recently as I'm slowly moving away from wild nights drinking Buckfast (which they sell by the barrel load). They also usually have free samples of wine or spirits on a Friday and Saturday which I think a lot of customers enjoy. There's parking right outside too and in the adjoining streets, a bank machine a few metres away and a Chinese takeaway and a supermarket right across the road for provisions for the evening and to line your stomach...!

They are always friendly and polite with the service being quick and with plenty of attention being paid to customer service. The drinks on offer as usually seasonal but and you can pick up some good deals throgughout the year. You won't pay anymore for your booze here than you will anywhere else, with a bargain definitely on offer if you have a wide-ranging taste and are willing to try lots of different things.

This Dr:nk is a student magnet, and it is clear why: it is the most convenient off-licence to the…read morestudent housing at Elms! Dr:nk does a good job of what it does though, as it always has a wide range of special offers on to placate the masses, with a personal recent favourite 5 cans of Kopparberg for a fiver, which is phenomenal value! The best thing about Dr:nk compared to cheaper supermarket outlets is that the vast majority of goods are chilled which means you can pick up stuff from here on short notice and it is good to go straight away rather than having to chill it yourself for ages or diluting your sweet booze with ice, the natural enemy of all beverages!(some may disagree but my view is that drinks should already be cold, they shouldn't have to be watered down!) Dr:nk will continue to thrive as long as students of the area love booze, and I can confidently say that trend will not be stopping any time soon!

Dr:nk is different. I like this place on the Malone Road in student land. It's bright and nifty, and I happen to have fallen in love with some of the wines that I can't get my hands on anywhere else. If you ever come across a wine called Heartland (an Aussie shiraz), buy all of it. There's always a big advertising board outside, detailing all of their monthly specials. The management seem to trust the staff to play their own music too, which is pretty cool... I know they're ubiquitous now, but the first time I heard Mumford & Sons was in Dr:nk. Not to be sniffed at.

As with any shop that is part of a chain, be it clothes, coffee, food or anything for that matter…read morethere is a familiarity to this Russels Cellars that you'll see straight away if you have ever been to any of their outlets. This one, very close to us is right in the middle of Killyleagh and is a decent size for the village. The staff are friendly and seem to be pretty knowledgable about a wide range of the drinks on sale, especially the wines. For me what makes this place a bit if a star is that they haven't overlooked the upswing on the sale of decent ales. Along with many of the big name supermarkets, they stock a decent selection of the better end of some of the big name ales, along with many good South American reds...... so I always manage to find something suitable in here. Finally, although they may not always be applied to something I'm interested in there is often a special offer on than allows for a bargain or 2.

Their wines are extensive, from cheap and cheerful to expensive and delicious. They also have a large variety of spirits, stocking some of the higher end gins. Not only that they have plenty of different mixers, from basic Coke to organic fever tree tonic, which I love! I'm not massively into beer so couldn't tell you the types they stock but looks like there are plenty of options for the discerning customer. The shop assistants are all very friendly and more than happy to help if you want advice on anything, they will also order a bottle of your fave in if they don't stock it. My only problem with the place is they've stopped asking me for my id.... Clearly I've started showing my age!

I have discovered a number of great red wines that are very reasonably priced, one such being the Black Shiraz, which in my opinion is the best wine you can get for under ten pounds. If you are unsure about what to get, then simply ask the friendly staff who will not confuse you with specialised wine tasting jargon, but keep it simple and to the point. Even if wine is not your thing Gap Wines sells an eclectic mix of beers from around the world. I would suggest you try some BrewDog, specifically the Punk IPA beer which, if you are a beer fan, you will certainly enjoy!
