Proof Wine & Spirits

Best liquor store in town! Liz is awesome, very nice and super helpful! Really nice inside and a perfect selection. Not too much to get overwhelmed, but definitely quality stuff and a little bit of everything. They even have some all natural simple syrups, like a habenero one for margaritas. Great wines! And it is always good to support a local store like this, especially with such nice workers/​owners :)

Found this place on Unilocal!I’m only visiting for the weekend but my friend lives right around the corner and says this will be her new stop for liquor and wine! Liz is awesome and friendly, she will help you find what you’re looking for!

Wonderful neighborhood shop. A bit pricey relative to the big boxes but it’s wonderful having a friendly, upscale, locally owned place in the neighborhood when you need something and don’t want (or aren’t fit) to drive somewhere.
Extremely greatful Liz and Proof are in the ‘hood.

Great selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff. A perfect shop for the neighborhood!

Great eclectic selection. Helpful friendly people. Coolest vintage glassware in the city!

Delicious and expertly picked selection of wine, beer & spirits. Liz will help you find exactly what you’re looking for while providing unique creative suggestions in your price range! Shopping at Proof will make you a much classier and interesting drinker.

Incredibly knowledgeable. I stepped in while in the area on business to grab a bottle of wine for dinner. They did not have the wine I was looking for but she recommended some ones similar that were fantastic. Great place to go if you want to broaden your horizons.

This is a great store ! They manage fit a great selection of booze as well as high quality bitters and mixers into a quaint cornerstore locale. I met one of the owners and she was awesome and the other employees I have met were super sweet and knowledgeable. They have options for (almost ;) any budget without sacrificing quality.

This was a lovely stop while I was trying not to freeze in -1 °F weather. I knew of Proof because they had done appetizer and wine pairings at Cart Driver months back. It was the night before NYE, so I decided to stop here on a whim.
They have a small selection of wine from your major (and not so major) wine countries along with some states. On the opposite side you can find amaros, tequilas and more. Liz helped me fine a nice champagne that we enjoyed the following evening.

Small shop, with well selected, unique liquors. Liz is extremely knowledgeable about the products she carries and is able to expertly assist in selecting the perfect wine. It is obvious that she takes incredible pride in what she does and in the quality of her shop. So glad to have Proof in our neighborhood!

Small but well curated! Liz and Andrew are awesome and ready to assist! So happy to have them in the neighborhood. Let them know what you want, I’m sure they will do their best to get it for you.

The selection here is small but super well chosen. Wines are interesting, eclectic, focusing on quality importers. Good selection of small production domestic wines too. Color me impressed. It’s hard to find a shop in this town with such good taste. I should know since I used to work in the industry. Prices are just right too.
Ditto for the beer and liquor selection. Small but effective.

This might not be the best stop if you’re looking to pick up some six packs for a party or some value champagne for mimosas or mixers for a bottle of vodka you’ve had hanging around. But you might find a decently priced wine that you haven’t seen anywhere else to pair with your dinner along with friendly, informative shopkeepers to assist with recommendations.
Proof moved into the neighborhood shortly after Nooch vacated and moved to South Broadway. If you’re familiar with the space, it’s pretty small and doesn’t lend itself to finding exactly what you’re looking for, no matter the inhabitant. But if you come in with nothing particular in mind, you may be pleasantly surprised!
We were on an impromptu neighborhood bar crawl a few Saturdays ago and decided to stop into our new neighborhood bottle shop. I ended up with three bottles of wine (each about $ 15) that I’d never seen anywhere else. I would say the small shop is about ²⁄₃ wine and maybe ¹⁄₆ each of beer and spirits. The beer cooler, in particular, could use a bit more expansion and I’m hoping the make more use of some of the space in the future. Until then, stop in if you’re in the mood for wine and feeling indecisive!
