Grape & Grind

Grape & Grind is an independent off-​licence for the connoisseur on Gloucester Road.
I’ve been purchasing drinks for special occasions from there since it opened a few years back. Whether it’s a good bottle of vino for an important dinner or a fine bottle of grand crew cognac as a Christmas present for Grandpappy it caters for all your fine alcoholic needs!
Most (if not all) of the stock is of independent high quality brands. From awarding winning 6 O’Clock Gin and accompanying tonic waters to locally brewed, critically acclaimed Wiper & True ale, it is a true treasure trove of tipples!
I’ve swung by on a Saturday afternoon on numerous occasions to pick up a new treat to try on the evening! I’ve also purchased a number of presents for friends and family from there over the years.
The guys at G&G are always keen to help. For example I know little about good whiskeys and brandies and they have always come through with the goods, usually coming up with a few suggestions based on taste and budget.
It’s also worth noting that the ‘grind’ of Grape & Grind is because they also sell various coffee’s. I’ve never purchased any coffee but it looks great!
G&G is a real gem of an off-​licence. Highly recommended for a special quaffable tipple!

I was having some people over for dinner and wanted some nice Malbec and Prosecco and knew that Grape & Grind was my best bet on Gloucester Road.
They sell wines, bubbly, spirits and a few choice beers and ciders. It’s all generally the top end stuff; you wont find fosters or blue nun here!
Over the last 5 years I’ve really got into wine, white and red, and I love going into Grape and Grind and having a chat with the owner about which is best. Especially if I’m trying to match it with a specific meal. They are all really helpful and know their stuff.
I try to avoid supermarkets as much as I can, particularly the small ‘local’ ones that are crazy expensive and only sell big brands. So G&G is the perfect addition to Gloucester Road. It sells some of best wine and spirits and is close to the greengrocers and butcher, so you shouldn’t need to buy much from the big supermarkets if you’re shopping on Gloucester Road. Plus they accept Bristol Pounds and ‘text to pay’, which really sells it for me.
If you want some top quality booze with great service and help if you need it — go no further!

Really lovely independent off licence, selling locally sourced and award winning products, wine, beer and coffee mainly! Great place to go for a boozy pressie or a tipple for a special occasion! The guys in there clearly know their stuff and are happy to share their knowledge and help with recommendations. Just cracked open today’s treats!
