A membership based co-operative that has a huge range of wines, spirits etc. from around the world. Mail order deliveries or collection from their English or French depots. Really great selection of full or mixed cases.
You need to be a member to get into their site and you need a full member to propose you.
An excellent place for wines and specialised beers. A good range of foreign and UK bottled beers, including Hilden, Strangford and Whitewater. Friendly staff. Worthwhile visiting on a regular basis as the stock is always changing.
This off-licence has recently been taken over and the large selection of excellent beers is now limited but still a few local brewery items. However, the staff say there is a good demand for specialised bottles and are working with the management to increase the range.
A large premise with a great range of foreign and UK bottled beers. Friendly staff and easy parking.
Conor McMillen runs this family owned business, which has outlets in Saintfield and on Movilla Street, Newtownards. Ably assisted by Paul McWilliams, they provide drinks on a sale or return basis for: weddings, private parties, corporate events etc. with lots of advice about purchasing.
