Shamrock Beverage & Liquor

This place is awesome! Check it out on weekend nights when they sometimes have free tastings. The beer selection is one of the best in the area.

Been going here a while and its been a love/​hate relationship. But now its just a hate relationship. I would go anywhere else to buy liquor… its very pricey here. However their beer prices are really good and they have a great selection of craft beer. But this is where it gets weird and disappointing. I have been spending hundreds here to build a rapport and hopefully get access to his rare craft beer he hides behind the counter. The fact is he might give it to you, but mostly, he won’t. The latest shenanigan with a certain release of rare beers was the last straw. They are paid to sell beer… I have a hobby to find and buy good beer. I have no idea why these two symbiotic strategies couldn’t converge in harmony at this location. Money was no object. It was about mutual respect, honesty and supporting a local business. Now its about finding anywhere else to spend my money. The bar next door is great but I can’t support them if they won’t treat me like a valued customer and the relationship they’ve built with the breweries has me wondering if my money is better spent on other beers. It may sound personal and it is. It is very personal if I am willing to spend $ 50 on a 22oz beer when I have other priorities but you won’t let me buy it if I don’t spend another $ 200 on other things (I know others who don’t have this issue with the owner); I hate being lied to and treated like my money is no good here. I don’t think you would either.

Best spot to purchase alcohol in Orlando. Everyone is knowledgeable and has great recommendations. Make sure to check out the bar next door if you want to try some things before you buy them.
