History

Established in 2009.

Light Rail Wine and Ale was originally established in 1984 as Lighthouse Liquors, until 2009 when the Miller family purchased and gave the store a total remodel and refocus. We are a family owned and operated neighborhood store with an emphasis on customer service specializing in craft beer and estate wine. We are often the last stop for out-​of-​towners on their way to the mountains and a well known resource for Red Rocks concert goers during the summer months. In 2013 we changed the name to Light Rail Wine and Ale. Cheers!

I really dig this place — unique local beer and liquor selection. They typically have some specials and sales as well which I always appreciate. They also have a instant beer cooler which I’ve never seen before. Probably the best liquor store in west Denver for beer, liquor or wine.

I stopped in here after work. I mentioned that the wine I was buying was $ 6 more a bottle than I usually pay. The clerk signed and says «so you have never taken an economics class» I don’t neev the hourly checking me out to try and be an elitist. He proceeded to compare applejack to Walmart and said to shop local. Last I checked AJ isn’t a national chain.
Left very annoyed a $ 6 mark up on 12 is pretty significant.

This liquor store is close to my house, so we’ve been stopping by here more than Applejack lately. There are a couple of 20 – 30 something year old guys who work here, and they are as nice as can be. They offer suggestions and alternatives as needed, which is so helpful. I think their prices are in line with other liquor stores, as far as I know. I just wish we had started coming here earlier!

I had a specific task to find some good Australian Red wine and came across another review that mentioned this shop’s wine alcove and thought I’d give it a try. Found some wine from Wirra Wirra (fantastic vineyard in McLaren Vale, South Australia) and I haven’t seen wine from there anywhere yet. Pretty cool shop and friendly customer service!

For a small liquor store, I was pleasantly surprised that they had such a diverse selection of craft beers. I saw some beers here that I’ve never seen at Applejacks or any other liquor store I’ve been to in Colorado. Thy dont’ have a huge variety but what they do have is pretty unique. The staff is always very friendly and more than willing to help you out. The first time I came here was the day before Thanksgiving to pick up a bottle of wine. I had no idea what type of wine to get because I had no clue what everyone liked. I started talking to one of the guys working and he was great. He knew a lot about wine and made a few recommendations. I really appreciated this, especially since he explained to me why he recommended each bottle of wine. I’m no wine expert but with his help I was able to leave with a great bottle of wine that everyone enjoyed. Same goes for beers, if you ask, they’ll help you select something good. Just tell them the type of beer you’re interested in. For a while I was frequenting Applejacks because it was convenient to go to on the way home, but I doubt I’ll be going there anymore after rediscovering this place.

Upon reading some of the reviews of Unilocal,I decided to stop in as I was in the neighborhood. Another review made it seem like Lighthouse was quite the neighborhood liquor store gem. I found it to have an average selection, but nothing to get too excited. Maybe things have changed sine some of the earlier reviews. I popped in, but was disappointed in the selection and left shortly thereafter. I wouldn’t go out of my way to return, but the selection was sufficient for most alcohol (–ic) needs.

This is a great little place that’s easily missed in the neighborhood, unless you go to Bono’s or the Yogurt place next door.
From the outside it looks like any other liquor store, but the inside is like Whole Foods meets Trader Joe’s. There’s a great pick-​6 area if you want to build your own 6-​pack of beer, plenty of local brews along with national ones, and a good hard liquor selection.
What’s really surprising is the wine room — yes, an entire room filled with wines, wine reviews, and wine-​related décor. There are no creepy guys watching TV behind the counter, just friendly men and women who are clean-​cut and enjoy talking about the different wines with you.
If you go somewhat regularly, they remember your name, say hi, and will make recommendations of sale wines based on what you normally buy. It’s a really homey, friendly place. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a decent, local liquor place in Lakewood and want to avoid the Big Box Marts.

This place was recently renovated. It was a little run down before, but now it is clean. The biggest change was the ownership. The new staff is much more professional and helpful than the previous staff. They have a great beer selection and the prices are what you would expect for a local store.
The wine selection is quite large. In my opinion they should devote more space to modestly priced wine. There are too many bottles that are out of range for a quick BBQ or Friday night party.
