This fab Melbourne bottle shop and bar offers magnums of pet-nat and more beers than your gramps could squirrel away for winter. Here at Mr West, there are shelves and shelves of beers, totalling more than 500 options.

Beermash is not your standard Melbourne beer shop. The industrial-style space boasts exposed brick walls, retail fridges heaving with specialty brews and an impressive 20 taps built into the wall behind the front counter. 

Longtime Bomba business partners Jesse Gerner, Andrew Fisk and Kelly O'Loghlan laid the golden vino egg when they opened their boutique wine store a throw away from Terra Madre. 

A veritable candy shop for anyone who digs beer. Carwyn Cellars boasts around 10 fridges full of it, along with hundreds of wines arranged from lighter to bolder, a golden selection of American whiskey and lots of other boozy delights. 

A northside venture from Lyndon Kubis and Mark Nelson (Toorak Cellars, Milton Wine Shop), The Moon is a touch moodier and a little more refined than its siblings; though still slinging a wide-ranging pick of booze with minimal pretentiousness. 

With bottle shops scattered all over the city (the OG being in Windsor) this sibling-owned purveyor of unique wine, beer and cider has been at it since 2006. 

Seddon Wine Store is a treasure trove of good booze, whether your drink of choice is a Yarra Valley chardonnay, a big French Burgundy or crisp local pilsner. It's a comfy, laidback Melbourne bottle shop where you can settle in to sample a few wares.

Its name is a tribute to the parent vine from which all of the world's wine grapes originated, and its shopfront is stocked with a sprawling curation of interesting bottles from across the globe. 

Nestled in the heart of the city's southeast, Milton Wine Shop is this cosy bottle shop and wine bar that slings rare drops by the glass. Here, old and new-world wines are celebrated in equal measure.

When it comes to top-notch beer, wine and spirits, not many southside spots have a more rounded offering. Bottle House was opened in 2011 by a group of friends who decided that they could put their knowledge of a good brew to better use.
