A mainstay of the suburb, Rose Bay Drive-In Liquor Store is the place to go if you're looking to grab a bottle of vino or ponder more exotic libations. The store was established in 1950 and has occupied its current digs since 1975. There is plenty to explore at the family-owned bottle shop, which prides itself on a vast hand-selected range of drinks from across the country and the world.

With its wine advisory service, the staff helps advise the best unions of food and tipple for a special dinner party. Drop by to snag a bottle of your preferred tipple on your way to an event — and, if it's a rainy day, someone will come and serve you right from your car. It also offers delivery across the eastern suburbs, lower north shore and CBD, including glasses, ice and tubs and your pre-chilled booze.
