Raising the Bar Liquors

Our staff of mixologists, wine experts, bourbon lovers and beer snobs, want to make your event - large or small - the best it can be. Bend our ear, we can teach you some great party drink ideas, signature cocktails, and even recommendations for food pairings.

Well we are down to the final hours in this location. To say our hearts are heavy would be an understatement. It has been a day full of emotions. You guys have really showed up for Justin and I over the last few weeks. We have felt the love and support of our community. We appreciate every dollar you have ever spent here. It has never gone unnoticed that you supported our dreams. Thank you for every hug, high five, story and so much laughter over the years. As Justin said this morning, they can take our building but they can’t take away our success, our dreams or all the amazing relationships we have built with all of you among the way. Thank you for being a friend!
This isn’t goodbye but see ya later. 🥂

In case you hadn’t heard we will now be open until the 14th. So you now have more time to fill up your bourbon club card. Our next and final drawing (until Greenwood) will be Thursday. I know we have talked a lot about bourbon, well because we love it, but we do have a LOT of nice wines left that need a good home! All wines are 12% off! You won’t get it this cheap anywhere in the metro. Justin and I will be here all day today and tomorrow and would love to say hello. We are really gonna miss seeing our customers. That’s the hardest part for us as we have built so many great relationships.
Also keep an eye out for our sidewalk sale next week of N/A items, think cocktail shakers, decor, coolers, bar mats, etc.
Have a great weekend! Cheers!

Happy Friday! We received 10 cases of Busch Light Apple 🍎 today! One case per person so we can spread the joy. Also we found out from our landlord late last night that they are giving us two more weeks before the building comes down. So we will be open through June 13th but the sales are still going and there is soo much left. Please come snag a few bottles before we close the doors. Thank you to those of you who have already stopped by to make a purchase. We appreciate you and our backs thank you! 🙌🏼 🍻

Alright friends. Only a few days left before we close our doors. Cue the emotions over here. We will be doing one last bourbon drawing before we pause retail operations and pick up again in Greenwood next Spring. We will be doing the drawing on Thursday afternoon so you still have tomorrow and half the day Thursday to fill up those bourbon cards in your wallet. We want to allow people Friday and Saturday to come pick up their winning bottle. We will be drawing twice as many names as usual and pulling out some good bottles from the vault for the drawing. We will be putting the remaining cards from the fish bowl in a safe and secure place until we open again next year so please know we won’t be throwing them away, they are safe with us. Thank you again for your support. There are many good bottles left on our shelf that need a good home. Everything is on sale.

05/20/2025

Alright friends, almost all of it has got to go. The less we have to move the better. Everything in the store is now 10-20% off including some nice bourbons and wines. We already have great pricing (always MSRP) so this is a great deal! We won’t have time to answer questions about specific products as we are feverishly packing. Some items are even marked down to our cost. Please come shop here before you go anywhere else. You won’t find these prices anywhere in town. This week and next week only.

BIG NEWS: A New Chapter Begins! 🍷✨

After 14 incredible years at our current location, it’s time for a big (and bittersweet) change. Due to a development project and the end of our lease, we’ll be temporarily closing our doors soon as we prepare to build a brand-new home for our store in Greenwood.

To our loyal customers: thank you. Your support, smiles, and shared moments have made this more than just a retail space — you’ve helped us build something truly special. You have become like a second family to us. ❤️

To our amazing part-time team members, past and present: we are so grateful for the care and connection you’ve brought to our store. You’ve been an essential part of our journey, and we couldn’t have done this without you.

While our storefront will be on pause, we’ll continue to serve our wedding and event clients as always. 🥂

We know many of you have questions about closeout sales and bourbon club memberships — stay tuned! We'll be sharing more details very soon on how we’ll handle both during this transition.

This isn’t goodbye — it’s the start of something exciting. We can’t wait to share our new space and vision with you. Thank you for being part of our story. Onward to the next chapter!

Well Busch Light Apple finally made a comeback. We have some left if you are having trouble finding it.
Also we are adding new items to our spring close out sale daily. New items added yesterday. Several items are marked down to our cost. Come see us before you start your weekend. Gorgeous weather ahead! 🥃

Where are our tequila fans? If you haven’t tried this one it’s a must. El Bandido is made from 100% blue Weber agave and the bonus is it’s addictive free. Its founder is NHL hall of famer Chris Chelios and the distiller is female. She definitely got this one right. As they say “it’s so smooth it’s criminal”. Grab it while it lasts.

Hey Friends, we are doing some Spring Cleaning. Our loss is your gain. We will be running things on sale for the next couple of months. Come by and check out what’s on sale. Some items are a pretty good discount.

Thank you again and again to those of you who understand the importance of shopping local and not the big box stores. You are the real MVP’s! Between being closed last week due to no electricity and the multiple snow days, it has been a very rough winter. We would appreciate your support more than you know.

03/05/2025

Just a heads up that we currently have no power, so we have no way to run cards. It shows our area has not been assigned a crew yet. We know they are out working hard to restore everyone but we have no idea when we will be up and running again so for now we are closed. Stay safe and warm friends!
