The Knob Creek and High West hard to find bottles were here so I had to get a few. If you're looking for these hard to find bottles, check out any of the several R Field stores besides the usual liquor stores. Their prices are generally very competitive, and in fact I missed a special rye and ended up paying $20 more at another store. My advice: if you see it, buy it! It might not be there when you return. Got any other secret place to find bourbons I can try?

Island Distillers is located in Hawaii-Kai; very close to everything, yet feels so far away. It's located at the end of a cul-du-sac with free street parking and marked spots just off the road. The gate is welcoming with painted yellow slippahs to guide your way. The main building is the actual distillery; you can peek inside and see where all the work is done. They do offer tours, but you have to schedule ahead of time (this would be a great activity to plan for visitors). The next building is the store and tasting room. It's well lit with natural sky lights. The bar is along the back, here you can try all their liquors. As of this writing, they have Coconut Vodka, Hibiscus Vodka, and the only known Hawaiian spirit known as Okolehao (this was my favorite). In the coming months they will also offer different varieties of rum. The owner was very friendly and ready to talk about their products and story of the location. He had fresh bananas hanging to enjoy as well as a large selection of bottles to buy to-go and clothing items with their well designed logos. Be sure to check in on Yelp for a free shot glass! The outdoor lanai has a number of tables all shaded next to a pond, waterfall, and garden. On the hill is sugarcane. He will be serving free pizzas to compliment the alcohols; be sure to keep an eye out for updates. This is a wonderful stop for anyone that enjoys locally made goods and wants to get away from town for an hour or so.

She was even doing a free wine and cheese tasting when I popped into their soft opening after my appointment upstairs at Habib Hair. This shop is the perfect place to stop for Mediterranean goodies like wine, cheese, herbs and canned goods. They also sell bakery items and desserts now. Their wine selection is small yet bespoke and unique. Wines from Greece, Italy, New Zealand, France, Oregon, all over and decently priced. I grabbed a small charcuterie box that had a good selection of 4 types of cheese, 2 types of meat and 3 kinds of fruit (grapes, fresh figs and apple) and it comes with crackers. If you want to supplement your order from Olive tree cafe next door, I highly recommend the stuffed grape leaves (they sell a whole can which is like 2 orders from the restaurant for $5) and the giant beans.

What a great, little store to purchase wine and other accompaniments for your meal at Olive Tree…read moreCafe, right next door! Since Olive Tree is BYOB, Oliver is a convenient store to get your B! Their selections of wines are unique with several familiar ones you see at other stores. They also sell a nice variety of Ouzo! If you live the Pita Bread at Olive Tree, you can purchase the same exact ones they use. It's $7 for a bag of 10, no tax. There's a also a wide selection of cheeses, cured meats, pâtés, canned sardines and other fishes, and many other specialty items that goes with the Greek/Mediterranean theme. Overall, a nice store with many unique items. If you love Olive Tree, you can purchase many of the ingredients it uses right at Oliver. The Pita Bread were awesome! Will buy more next time!

I love convenience stores for just one thing- alcoholic beverages and also to see what other goods I can find. The shop is located on 12th Ave/Waialae, look for the bright yellow sign across of Duk Ke/Via Gelato. Tiny little mini mart with just 2 aisle with neatly filled products. The lady owner was very nice and her doggie was so cute! I enjoyed browsing both aisle looking and observing the products. I love the Pringle selections, some new flavors I haven't seen/tried before, ( dill pickle, seven layer dip, & all dressed up) There a nice selection of alcoholic beverages and wine. There all lots of can food, snacks, candies, seeds, ramen, paper goods, cleaning supplies, a tiny freezer near the door for some frozen products and many more. For a mini convenience mart store, the price isn't bad, reasonable. I love that they price the merchandise. What I ended up getting was 2 cans of Waterloo brand ginger twist ( $1.39 ?) I never seen them in ginger flavor, 2 cans of High Noon peach tea ( $2.39) ghost pepper chicken noodle soup (3.99) & the last Mina brand wild caught sardine in olive oil ( $2.99) Those items caught my eyes since I've never seen those ever. My total was fifteen dollars and some change, paid via credit card. A plastic bag was provided- don't think she charged for it. Overall, what a quick and convenient store! I actually enjoyed myself looking around and I would definitely come visit again. I love mom & pop shops that carry the goods, good stuff!
