Recommendation for an off licence?

Stky10 · 2008-12-04 16:22:18

Anyone got a recommendation for a good off licence in terms of breadth of more obscure/unusual beers/spirits?. I don't need to buy a dozen dutch gold as cheap as possible :D

Redmonds in Ranelagh is the best offie I have visted in Dublin. Big range of beers. Bit expensive, but the choice more than makes up for it.

Deveney's also has an amazing €1 fridge where all bottles are €1. It's like going into Narnia.

If that's the place that used to be called the beer and wine warehouse then I second this!

Remember going in when I lived in Stillorgan and the service was great, as was the range. I've never seen a lot of the stuff I bought in there anywhere else.

Cactus Lime cider. Nyom nyom nyom!

The Tesco in Stillorgan SC usually has a reasonable selection as well; I've gotten a few Czech beers there before.

Jack Carvill's on Camden Street usually has a great selection, got some unsusal ciders there recently and the bf was v.impressed with the beer selection, and he's usually a bit of a beer snob! I even saw some 'Duff' beer the last time I was in, didn't know it exsisted in real life!:)

The one in Nutgrove SC. Last time I was there, they had a pretty interesting selection. I'm not sure what they have at the moment tho.
