Don’t use this as my everyday offie more for a payday treat or for birthdays/​chrimbos and not because it’s eye waterlingly expensive, just that I can’t trust myself. Lovely feeling when you walk in, all chilled, well laid out and helpful staff. Selection is amazing with extensive individual spirit sections for tequila, gin, etc. Good range of quality mixers, beers, real ales and a great location across from Bruntsfield Links/​top of the Meadows for grabbing a few cold ones. Have some unusual and interesting whisky if you really want to push the boat out or looking for something a bit special. Plus they’ll even offer you a taste before you buy (would recommend trying the Japanese whisky). Sign up to their newsletter for regular tastings.

Wow, what a find! An amazing selection of wine, with some very neat varieties. It being Scotland, they have a pretty good selection of Scotch and whiskies from round the world. Well worth checking out.

My Mum has fond memories of Brandy Alexander’s in Spain, so I decided to buy her the ingredients for her birthday.
How hard has it become to find Crème de Cacao though?
Like me, I don’t suppose you’d know, but I sure found out :-)
Anyway, with their excellent range, the guys at Drinkmonger sorted me out and ensured my Mum can happily reminisce.

Drinkmonger has a really excellent selection of wines/​beers/​spirits, as well as staff who are excited about what they sell and keen to have a chat about it.
I come in here almost entirely for beers because I think what they have on offer is just about the best variety around and The Man has developed quite the enjoyment for small (330ml) bottles of strong beers which he makes extra poncy by drinking out of a wine glass.
Good variety, good staff, not sure what else you need!

Great shop. Out front they have an amazing selection of wines and beers — their Belgian selection alone is worth a trip of considerable distance — and through the back they keep their seriously big hitters.
I popped in yesterday and picked up a couple of bottles of Bogle Petite Syrah (not that pricey but not that common either) and got an appreciative grin from the woman serving before she supplied some background to the wine and the producer. Made me feel pretty good, certainly better than when I pick up a permo-​half price bottle of ‘Knots Landing’ from the local super.
I was also tempted into buying a small stock of Orval beer which no one should be without of too long.
Great customer experience.

Came here to buy some alcohol to take back home from Scotland and were hugely impressed, not only by the selection, but by the friendly staff. And, when one of our party accidentally left her credit card behind, they went _​incredibly_​out of their way to try and track her down – seriously, we had mentioned what hotel a few of us were staying at, and they went there to find her! Incredible customer service, great recommendations (my husband LOVED the beer I brought back for him), and super selection. If I lived in Edinburgh, this would be my go-​to liquor store!

Amazing store, both to browse and to ask a question and get a smart answer.
First, the selection is huge. It has wines beers and spirits and a variety of all of them.
I mostly go for the wines, so I will comment on that. I have bought cheap bottles and expensive bottles and both were uncommonly tasty.
A variety of Sparklers and Champagne from all regions. A wall of white and a wall of red; it’s not THE biggest wine store I’ve been in but it clearly prides itself on an extensive inventory.
It’s also super clean, easy to navigate and the staff is very knowledgable. Paula particularly seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all of their products. You can go when you have time and want to browse or you could go with a meal in mind and easily have the staff direct you to a good choice.
Worth a trip.

Just wanna say I’m really impressed with this place.
It’s clean, new, theres a huge variety of drink. Wines, Beers, Spirits… PLUS the staff are very knowledgable with a smile on their face!
I really recommend checking out this place! It really made me excited to try beers I’ve never had. I even got a Monty Python one here as a gift for my brother. quality.

Brand new liquor store. Still smells like new.
Lots of interesting beers, a handy selection of wine and some different spirits. I was after something specific (Luxardo maraschino), which they didn’t have but said they’d order in for me, so points to them for service.
Soon, soon I will be drinking delicious Aviations. (Darn you Raconteur for getting me hooked on obscure liquors. I was happy with Belhaven Best. Way to open my eyes). Now to see if they follow through on my request.
