Joy Wine & Spirits

A super cute locally owned shop that carries higher end alcohol and mixers. I called to check if they had «real dill» bloody mary mix before driving over. YES! Pleasantly surprised to find dedicated parking, too. Makes stopping here so much more convenient.
I will keep this place in mind for when I NEED bloody mary ingredients… which will probably be soon

What a joy it was to find this gem after a long and stressful move!!!
We learned whole foods stores here don’t carry alcohol– wine or beer– so we turned to Unilocal who didn’t steer us wrong like it did with our moving company here in Denver.
We left with a couple of 6’ers and a bottle of Kim Crawford (personal fave and the screw top came in handy since the wine key was packed in who knows what box).
A gem of a shop that I’m sure we’ll frequent often when in need of provisions.

Loved this local shop! Just ran in on a whim to get stuff for the weekend and they were beyond helpful! And they deliver !!

Great selection of wines and service is always friendly and so helpful! Discounts for buying two or more wines on Tuesdays.

My husband and I live a few blocks away and we love that we can walk to Joy. It’s definitely a smaller neighborhood store and they don’t carry as large of a selection, but I will say that whenever I’ve asked for something, the staff have done their best to get it for me. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable – I am by no means a wine connoisseur and they don’t make me feel bad about it! They have also talked my husband through perfecting a Manhattan (and an Old Fashioned… and others…).
We gladly spend the extra couple of bucks to shop here in the smaller environment with friendly employees. Oh, did I mention they do free wine tastings? I forget which night of the week… but it’s a consistent winner, and a great way for me to try new wines I would be too chicken to buy!

Good selection of wines an helpful staff. I like the recommendations and award winning cheaper wines :)

Joy Wine & Spirits is a great neighborhood wine and liquid store. They might be smaller than some of the big named wine/​liquor stores, but the selection they do have is of great quality and affordably priced. Not to mention, their selection of beer is outstanding. From Colorado brews to ones you may have never seen before, I have always left extremely satisfied.
In addition, their staff is so helpful and patient. If you have questions about anything from a nice Cabernet, a bottle of champagne/​prosecco, or a great whiskey or beer, these guys and gals know their stuff and will direct you to a winner. If you are one of those people that have driven by a million times and never stopped in, you are missing out.

I’m an idiot for not going here sooner. I’ve been driving past this place every day on my way to work for over a year now.
Walked in to The Velvet Underground being played. First glance and I see they have a couple Russian River sours for sale. Good start.
Awesome beer selection and the prices were identical to Argonaut. I’d rather support these guys. I will be back soon.

Great little neighborhood liquor store. They don’t have the selection you’d find at a big-​box liquor store but they have quality items.
I love the «build your own six pack» beer option. They stock a deal of Colorado beers as well as others. I was just in today and they had at least six pumpkin beers and several Oktoberfests as well.
The staff are so helpful and so friendly. I went in a few weeks ago, hoping to get a whiskey for my boyfriend. I know nothing about whiskey and the sales man had tons of recommendations and was honest and steered me away from a few «overrated» whiskeys.

Their e-​mail marketing stinks. They sent me an e-​mail about a special, it sounded good. I drove out of my way to stop in the store and spend good money. In the store, I am told that I can’t buy the special because I didn’t send an e-​mail asking for it. Huh? I said, «You advertised a special and I came here to buy it, but you won’t let me?» «Yes»
I’m done with this place. City WIne or Mondo Vino are much better stores.

Joy to the World, the booze is here!
Let me repeat this thing;
Let every glass be filled with cheer,
And wine and spirits sing,
And wine and spirits sing,
And beer, more beer, and drinking sing.
A very nice wine and liquor store that seems far bigger on the inside than on the outside. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. The selection was excellent. I know much larger liquor stores that do not even carry ginger beer, and here you have more than one choice. Based on my experience, I think everyone should stop in here to purchase a bottle or a sixer after dining across the street at Fruition.

I’ve come to prefer Joy Wine & Spirits over other neighborhood liquor stores and over the much larger, Argonaut.
Despite being small, they carry a fairly large and good selection of wine that is displayed well, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. While it’s a small touch, I like that the personnel take the price tag off of your bottle in case you plan on serving it to guests later that night.
Joy has a good selection of beer, as well, and carries product from many local breweries. We recently walked out with a bomber of River North’s J. Marie saison and a Funkwerks bomber. If you have a hard time deciding what type of brew you’re in the mood for, they offer a Make Your Own Six Pack feature for less than $ 10.
Definitely worth popping in the next time you run dry.

This has become my «go-​to» liquor store lately. As a craft beer junkie, it doesn’t get much better. Sure the supermarket-​size stores can stock more product, but Joy does an excellent job maintaining their craft stock with both standard fare like Odell/​NB/​Firestone/​Dogfish Head with «white whales,» (think special releases from the Bruery). I appreciate that Colorado breweries are well represented. I was recommended a Funkwerks beer by an employee that just knocked my footie pajamas right off. TROPIC KING fo’ life! I have also scored a couple bottles of Parabola for aging/​lording over people. Pro tip: If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask! They will track it down for you even if it hasn’t made it to the shelves.
Speaking of the staff, they are incredible. Always welcoming and answering questions for customers. I know next to nothing about wine, but the staff is willing to help a noob pick out a bottle that will wow the family at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Bow down wine snobs… I have a secret weapon now! I’m also a bourbon/​rye drinker but usually just neat or on the rocks if I’m feeling cheeky. I asked for a recommendation on a rye drink and got a doozy: Bulleit Rye, vermouth, dash of bitters and some lemon peel. Bang-​a-​rang. I can’t recall another liquor store employee recommending a drink recipe that wasn’t pre-​bottled or ended in –tini.
The only downside is the small parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking nearby.

Mmmm… alcohol.
Let’s start with the staff. They are all gracious, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone I have dealt with always has answer to my questions.
The selection: Fantastic! No liquor store can have everything you want, so inevitably someone will be disappointed, but Joy has a wide variety of beer, wine, and liquor. They do a great job of stocking up on local beers; however, they also have some great beers from other parts of the country. My new favorite is the Firestone Walker Brewing Company. Try the Double Jack IPA in the 1 pint 6 oz. bottle. It is scrumptious.
The fact that this establishment is in walking distance also makes me happy. For others that have to drive, there is some free parking adjacent to the store right off of 6^th Ave.

This is my favorite liquor store. I probably spend way too much money (and I could be getting all those points on my Argonaut card), but I can’t help it.
If you like to be the first to try new beers, this is the place to go. I’ve gotten so many good, limited-​edition beers here. Their six-​pack selection is also great and you can do make your own sixer for 9.99. The prices are competitive.
They have a good wine selection as well, although you’ll usually find me perusing the beer bomber selection.
The staff is awesome, they are always super-​friendly and ready to help if you need them. I often overhear them giving beer suggestions and they really know their stuff.
They also do regular beer/​wine tastings, and you can like them on Facebook or get their email newsletter to keep up to date on the events.
The location is great, the beer selection is amazing. The staff is stellar. I have nothing bad to say.

Free beer! Does that say enough?
Joy is now my preferred location for a relaxing shopping experience. The Argonaut is quickly becoming the location I go when I want to dodge beggars and theives as I exit. Joy offers friendly service, a wide selection of wines, liquors and beer and they even have samples, or at least they did on the night I went. The best part about it is it’s not crowded so you don’t have to feel like taking a shower after shopping.
The argonaut is only a block away from my home, but I will ow happily go to Joy any time I want to have a relaxing, friendly experience.

Great liquor store in a great neighborhood.
Joy has a great selection of beer, wine, and liquor and really has anything you’ll be looking for in a liquor store.
My favorite feature at this place is their «make your own six pack» offer, where you can mix a good selection of great beers to make your own pack for $ 9.99, which is a pretty good price given some of the beers that are offered-​they include New Belgium’s «explorer» beers, like the wonderful Trippel.
Staff is terrific, very friendly and knowledgable-they’ll help you find everything you need. There’s also a gentle pup who hangs out and loves to be pet, just adding to the cool small neighborhood feel.
Joy is one of my favorite liquor stores in Denver, and I’ll definitely be back again!

Free wine tasting … need I say more? Every Wednesday and Friday they sample out their sale items in hopes of you buying them. which is a strategy that usually works on me. On my trip there they sampled four wines and I ended up purchasing two. The employees who were leading the tasting were very friendly and knew their stuff. I had a great time even if I was constantly fighting the urge after each sample to return with my empty wine glass asking for a ‘resample’…y’know just to be sure I really liked it…
If you love your wine and/​or beer, than this is definitely a great way to try some new brands.
The store itself is really cute and low-​key, which I enjoy since it seems I get a more personal experience and the staff know what they are talking about, which is a nice touch. They have a great selection although not as huge as those big chains out there, but at least here you feel like you are supporting your neighborhood small business. Check it out!

This place is a really cool neighborhood wine shop, been going there for years. Their staff is really passionate about their wines and beers, but they’re not snooty like some other wine shops. They also do free wine tastings almost every Wednesday and Saturday, so this is a great time to try new stuff.
I just love the neighborhood feel. Almost every time I’m in there, I recognize other folks who live nearby. And be sure to bring your dog in for free cookies!

Great liquor store. They have a nice selection of beers and a great selection of wine. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Located In a nice little stretch of 6^th ave. Prices are decent and they also have free wine tastings. How can you beat that? I’m a fan for sure.
