Super sick shop right in the Sydney CBD. Don't just look at the front cooler, round the corner and you'll find hundreds of bottles/cans from all across the world. Staff is helpful if you need it. Prices are a little on the higher end but it's one of the most convenient spots if you're near downtown. Good selection of whiskeys and wines too if you're into those.

This is by far the best place in Oz. Staff was beyond fantastic and gave lots of helpful advice. Lots of one off/seasonals stuff. Good selection across styles and breweries. They do low volume of IPAs and Pale Ales to keep things fresh. Wifi. Growler fills. They hit the right note on so many levels. Excellent place.

Huge selection of international and Australian beers. Certainly a lot of stuff I've never seen in Australia before, but I'm not best placed to make such proclamations. Lots of Scandinavian, US and English beers (and a decent Kiwi selection) alongside a full wall of Australian. Could have spent a lot of money here if I wasn't careful (even then I spent what my partner would call a lot of money). Fantastic bottle shop.

Bottleshop in the CBD a 5 minute walk from Museum train station. Huge selection of beers, wines & spirits. The beer selection (mainly in the back room) is a truly international selection, covering Oceania, Europe & the US

Probably the best bottle shop in Southeastern Australia - not necessarily due to number of bottles but due to the quality. Got some rare gems not seen in other places in either Sydney or Melbourne.

Shop located in central Sydney with an on-line store. Extensive collection of craft beers, ciders and meads including lots of Australian choices - recommended for visiting or ordering from.

Classy highend wine, spirits and beer shop located in close distance to Central train station. A huge number of Australian beers, big import section with sine of the best from the rest of the world. Friendly and very helpfull service with my questions about the beers. Helped my pick a few good bottles to bring back home. Prices maybe abit on the high side or maybe im not gotten used to Sydney pricing yet. Well worth the visit.

An excellent place to pick up hard to get local and imported craft beers. A good selection of interesting wines and spirits too, but its the beers that are the specialty in this good central location.
