Highlands Wine & Liquor

Awesome selection here at Highlands Wine & Liquor. Chris and staff are very knowledgable in their Craft Beer selection they have in store. I must stop when in Denver. Keep up the great work guys we will see you next time we’re in town.

Pretty good selection in a nice area of Denver, but the staff I interacted with was horribly rude. I have been in twice and both times I was ignored and treated poorly. I think if you developed a relationship with the staff they would be nice. They seem to value regulars, but I was done before I had the chance to visit more than a few times. There are too many beer and liquor stores doing it right to spend time and money on places who could not care less.

This is a great local liquor store. I came in for Christmas presents for my maintenance team at work, i.e. beer. I also picked up a Scrumpy’s Apple cider which isn’t found everywhere and a Diebolt beer for the hubs. At a quick glance, I found their beer selection to be quite impressive.
The customer service was also excellent. I was accidentally overcharged for one of the cases of beer I bought and when I realized it after leaving the store, I went back in and quickly had the issue resolved. Overall, I really liked this store and will most definitely be back.

I completely stopped shopping here.
I was a fan. Shopped here weekly and probably spent around $ 700/​year. What killed it was during the 2014 GABF, they were rolling out new releases. I asked if they had a given beer and was told «not available for sale until 5:00.» As in they had it, but weren’t going to sell it to me to keep some fake supply constraint in place. That will lose you a customer real fast.
So I left there, drove to Small Batch and bought the beer I was looking for with no hassle. Haven’t been back since.

Not child friendly, there is a new female clerk there that has gone out of her way twice to be really rude to my boys. If you shop there don’t bring your kids.

I called to see if there was a certain Thai beer in stock.
Somebody answered the phone quickly and checked immediately for me. I appreciate this location actually searching their store for me, he also asked how many cases I was interested in (should be customary but not always the case)
I was a happy customer, keep it up Highlands!

This is where I buy my booze… Every time. They have a huge selection. Tons of beer. Tons of whiskey. Mostly wine. It’s a small neighborhood feel and it’s not overpriced like most others.
Additionally, my dog loves it there. If I walk by it, she makes sure we go in. They are super nice to her and always give her treats. If you’re in the neighborhood, you should not be shopping elsewhere…

Great selection but the staff is hit or miss. Some employees have been great and very knowledgable and others have been a bit rude. Don’t be a dick if you’re in customer service!

Went here for the first time yesterday, and not impressed. I get it, going to a neighborhood place the prices will be higher, which I’m ok with, but I expect the quality of service to make up for that, and it didn’t, not even close. Will avoid going back here at all costs.

I’ve seen this liquor store many times while shopping at Sprouts and Simpawtico. It doesn’t look like anything special from the outside so I was never motivated to go in. Recently, I was complaining to a friend about the lack of seasonal beer options available at the liquor stores in Edgewater. He recommended that I check out Highlands Wine & Liquor. I’m so thankful he did, because this place is awesome!
An unexpectedly awesome selection of craft beer. I’m sure the other sections are great as well but I’ve honestly yet to make it past the beer. Though this place is not nearly as large as Argonaut or Applejack’s, it is comparable in the caliber of offerings. And, it’s a lot closer to my house so that’s certainly a plus as well. They are dog friendly too! I live about 2 miles away so coming here is a great way for me to multi-​task and 1) tire out my dog 2) stock up on unique booze. Although walking a hyper 6 month old puppy is not necessarily conducive to carrying multiple 6-​packs it’s a challenge I’m willing to accept.
The prices here are a bit high so if you’re strictly looking for more well known/​popular brands you can probably save a couple bucks by going to a different liquor store nearby. However, if you’re trying to find something more obscure – or just looking to try something new– this place is definitely worth it.

I’m a regular here since it’s close by and has a great beer selection. The people who work here are knowledgable about their stuff and they will try and order you stuff if you want it. They’re incredibly helpful and just one of the reasons this is a regular spot for me.
Their fridge beer selection is big. They have a lot more bombers than you would expect and many of the local and not so local breweries. They even have a decent import and cider selection. When I need to pick up beer, this is usually where I go.
The liquor selection is a little thin. They do have a selection of higher end scotches and such right next to the counter. You can find what you need but you may not find what you’re looking for. They try to keep some odd flavors and diverse brands but they’re not a huge store so I don’t expect the selection of some of the more popular and larger stores.
The wine selection is okay. I can usually find something to grab. I certainly haven’t had the experience the other people have who reviewed here but I usually know the wine I’m buying and have had it multiple times. I don’t know if the wine prices are higher than usual, I don’t really pay attention. The prices on the rest of the store are as expected so I can’t complain.
They also carry a decent selection of mixers and drink additives like soda, a few brands of ginger beer, and bitters. They also keep a bit of glassware next to the counter.

To those who have had the same experience as I have, I know exactly how you feel! I bought a bottle of wine a couple of months ago, opened it about a month later, poured a glass and it was spoiled. I re-​corked it and returned it only to be made to feel like a total jerk!
First they said I left it uncorked for a month, so of course it would spoil (which I had not and never said anything like that). Then they said the year of the wine was not something they stock… so now you are calling me a liar? Really?
The one nice employee recommended something in exchange, but it was a dollar more so they wouldn’t honor it. I ended up with a decent bottle an an exact exchange… fine, but geez, I am too busy to waste my time buying and returning wine and then being treated like a second class citizen. I’ll go elsewhere thank you.

Wow! Now That’s a beer selection! I love to explore the selection of gems they have at Highland and their staff is eccentric, knowledgable, super friendly, and not afraid to give their opinion. I literally have been turned on to beers that I didn’t even know existed. Thank you Highland for plotting me on a course to alcoholism. ;). It’s all about the journey, not the destination, right?

This store has a great location and excellent selection of wine! The prices are fair and they have great specials.
The staff is always friendly and very helpful.

For me, the location is perfect– next to the gym and to Sprouts. I also like how it is laid out inside– very easy to navigate, to find what you want, and it’s clean and neat!
The beer selection is ridiculous. There are other places I like but this one beats them all hand’s down! The staff is super helpful and they always provide me great recommendations.
Where I thought this place was lacking was in the wine department. I felt like all the bottles were priced on the higher end but also there was very little guidance (point system or whatever) to guide you to what might be good or bad.
In general, I feel like the prices for both beer and wine are a bit higher than other places you go to. For beer, it’s a great resource because of the variety but I just didn’t really care for the wine dept.

The worst customer service I’ve ever encountered and this isn’t the first time. They are extremely rude and short with you when you ask a question. I’ve been in there three times now looking for a limited release craft beer and left empty handed. Understandably they don’t know the exact day when they’ll get things in, but throw me a bone and offer me something else. «No», the blond girl tells me, «I can’t tell you what we have in the back. I can only sell it to you if you ask for it specifically.» Wow sounds like you want to do some business! If you go under in a year we know why. The blond girl didn’t want to sell product. I bet she is hoarding it for herself and her friends!

Seriously the most helpful service I have received at a liquor store. I usually come here after getting my sausage fix at Sprouts. (See my review if you have questions… I know I would after reading that sentence). The people who work here always point me in the right direction.
My favorite part of this store is the build your own six-​pack option for their beers. If you are feeling adventurous, ask one of the counter guys to pick it for you and put a good selection in there. They are super knowledgeable and will tell you exactly why they are picking the beer they are picking.
Their wine selection is ridiculous here and it is really easy to get lost and confused about what kind to get. *Cue the liquor Gandhi’s! I love this place and am always exited to stop by.

Having a liquor store in the same parking lot as my gym has proven to be a challenge. Working out then grabbing some booze doesn’t make a lot of sense but I seem to do it from time to time.
Highlands Wine and Liquor has a good selection of beer and the staff is friendly and knowable. I often go in there looking for a type of beer and asking the staff for some suggestions, overall that strategy has been good to me. If you’re in the area and need some booze stop in and check out their selection.

You can tell by the selection that these guys know beer. I happened to run into a fellow musician/​beer drinker while I was in there and he gave me some tips because frankly, I was a little bit overwhelmed by the selection (just a little bit). Prices reflect the already-​up-​and-​came neighborhood the store is in but the nice selection and knowledgeable staff is worth the extra buck or two.

Very friendly staff and a smaller liquor store that doesn’t make you feel creeped out. Carts and wide aisles to easliy navigate for bigger purchases.
Even though it can’t run with the big boys like Argonaut, they have a great selection given the size. I can always find a unique choice for wine and they carry locally distilled stuff like Leopolds.
Also a good selection of beer. Not what I’d hope for in my wildest dreams, but more than most. They also have a nice looking collection of single, rare bottles of beer.
Bonus points for being in the same area as Sunflower. I love being able to park once and hit up two places.
