The good thing about Spiros is that they ALWAYS have a special going on across various ranges, whether you're looking for a carton of boutique beer, a cheaper but quaffable wine, or something more special. Check out their website to sign up to their newsletter and keep abreast of their promotions. They also boast a very impressive range of spirits, including rare single malt scotches, some top shelf tequila and even Japanese whisky, sake and plum wine. All great gift ideas for the discerning drinker.

What I like most about this bottle shop is the staff…read more They are genuinely willing to advise you if you look lost, and can name the best wine for your needs, whatever the budget. Staff will also walk up and greet you in a friendly manner when you walk into the store, in some cases probably because you're a little overwhelmed by all the different stands advertising different new wines as soon as you step inside. I probably wouldn't recommend this shop for someone looking to go out and get drunk as cheaply as possible. The main brands of generic beers (e.g. V.B., Hahn Super Dry, XXXX etc) are featured here but are more expensive by a dollar or two than a liquor barn. Back to the staff. They're awesome. I walked in here once looking for boxes (I was moving house) and not only did they provide me with some, they showed me where else at Paddington Central to find more. Stellar customer service!

Dan Murphy's is definitely cheapest for alcohol (~$5 cheaper compared to BWS, Liquorland etc.) and there is sufficient parking so it is better to spend a couple of minutes extra to get out than use the BWS drive thru close by. Staff are friendly and it is never too busy that you have to wait too long to be served. Also, there is a Dan Murphy's loyalty card that would be beneficial to join.

There's a nice little stock of different beers and ciders in the back right section of the store, and they generally have a special on a carton of cider. Just grabbed a $40 carton of 5 seeds the other day. *sips on said cider* The staff here are quite friendly. When in need of a nip pourer recently the guy came out from behind the counter to take me over to see them and discuss which would best suit my needs. I have not, however, had the same nice attitude from a female staff member in a previous visit. I was simply asking for some help with different beers and whether they have any mixed packs (for QLD beer week no less) and was met with a dismissive look of annoyance. This may have been an unfortunate case of women not being nice to other women. *sigh* Are sisters no longer doing it for themselves? This was a one off though, and maybe we caught her on a bad day. Otherwise this store has everything I need at competitive prices with generally friendly service. Excellent.

Staff here are quite friendly so that makes visiting this particular location a lot easier!

Upon walking inside, there is a multitude of liquor, beer, wine and mainstream alcohol to be bought. The thing that suprised me, and I don't even drink, I was looking for a present for a house warming... was the array of Whiskey this tiny little shop had. They also provide... maybe a first for Brisbane... a free liquor delivery service to Brisbane CBD and the general metro area... unheard of! They also cater liquor to functions for work and what have you. Staff are really lovely and knowledgeable, and the place has been open for many many years so it holds history... smells a bit of history too... but not in a bad way. The staff also informed me that should I not be able to come into the store, they also have an online champagne gallery which will have a brilliant selection of fine champagne... delivered free! The champagnes aren't that cheap mind you, so I have a feeling they may have incorporated the 'free delivery' price into the price of the alcohol, but either way. This place is where you need to visit. Right next to the bar too. I'll definetely be checking out their online site... i'd never heard of one before!

Not only am I ignorant about good wines, I also have a terrible memory for names so I can never remember any good wines I've sampled at restaurants. At Grand Central Cellar, I simply tell the staff my price range and that I'm looking for a red that is sweet, not dry and tastes like blackcurrants. They get it right every time.

When you talk about a chain store, they're all much of a muchness bar for location and service. So let's get the generic Dan Murphy's stuff done quickly. Generic: They have a fantastic range at fantastic prices. Often wine deals where you buy a case and get them cheaper. Great amount of imported liquor. A lot of things you probably hadn't heard of. If you can't find it here you probably won't find it elsewhere. Location: This Dan Murphy's is okay. It's actually attached to the Hamilton Hotel, so you have to park there to get in. Nothing too special, but if you're coming from the city it is a bit annoying to get to because of Kingsford Smith Drive having a lovely centre island between lanes. There is a set of lights right outside from which you can head in or outbound. Service: Nothing stood out but the guy who served was very nice. Had a bit of a chat and a joke and got the job done well. Sometimes that's all you need!

When you walk in it is a bit overwhelming. So much wine, beer and spirits, its a dream place of alcos. I was after a cheap red wine. There is one a like in particular labelled Two Fat Ladies, that I wanted. I walked up and down the aisles searching for it. These aisles were long, so I gave up the search and decided to just asked a staff member where I could find that. He told me that don't stock that brand. I was in shock. I thought this liquor store, being so big and all, would stock it. Unfortunately for me, they don't. Of course, I could try other alternatives, but it wouldn't be the same. Boo. So although this is a liquor superstore, they don't stock everything. But there is a lot of everything else that I'm sure would work out just fine.
