Dekalb Bottle House

Great service and selection! If they don’t have what I’m looking for, they promptly order it.

Strong 4+ stars. I really like this store, and it includes a drive-​through if you just need to swing through. It is definitely fairly small, but with a surprisingly diverse beer and whisky selection, including some pretty interesting/​uncommon higher end Scotch releases in particular. Not super expansive necessarily, but seems well-​curated. They have a more limited wine selection that covers some decent depth in the «good value» range. The folks working there always seem happy and glad to see you. The drive-​through component is notable and convenient when needed.

Family run business. Has a wonderful selection of craft beers and limited edition bourbons and whiskeys! Also has a drive thru. The staff is knowledgeable and will help you find what you need.

After coming here and spending money for over 4 years I will never come back here. I bought some wine on Friday night and was on my way next door to pick up my food and was told I could not leave me car there for even 1 min to get my food.
I could understand If I just parked there without buying anything, but this was not the case. I asked the manager if he would rather loose my business over a lifetime, than grant me 5 min to run next door and pick up my food and he said yes
.
Well you got your wish over some petty nonsense. I will NEVER return to this place, nor will any of my friends, family or associates. There are plenty of bottle shops around that want my business and 99% of them are also not overpriced like your store.
I drove one mile up to the American Bottle shop on Clairmont and they treated me nice and their prices were way lower for the exact same item.

We love Dekalb Bottle shop. They are always so helpful in recommending beers and wines. I always go there for my wine club purchases where we are trying to look for something pretty specific and their recommendations are always spot on! My husband loves their selection of beers and they always seem to have something new for us to try.

Prices maybe higher than most but it’s a local family run business. They have a good selection of craft beers and whiskey for such a small store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

You’d think a small package store right off the Emory campus with a drive-​thru would be quite nice. I’ve only been to one other package store that had a drive-​thru and they went out of business years ago, so I was slightly surprised to see this one.
Unfortunately, the presence of the drive-​thru was the only reason I’d ever want to go here again.
Basically, the owners here are not so quick. I was in line to buy a 4 pack of Bass, for the not competitive rate of $ 7. There are two registers here: one for the drive-​thru and one for on-​foor folks. I stand in line at the normal one and then get called to use the drive-​thru one, only to get over there and have the guy stand there for 3 minutes trying to figure out HOW TO RING UP THE PURCHASE. Finally he gives up and tells me to go stand in the other line again, which I do. When I get up to the register again, the guy stands there and messes with the box and futzes around and finally figures out how to ring up the price.
He asks if I want credit or debit. I say credit. I always say credit. He asks me to punch in my numbers on the debit machine. This always seems to happen. I intentionally say ‘CREDIT’ carefully because motards who work registers often do debit no matter what I say.
Anyhow, long story short: it took me 15 minutes to make a 30 second purchase.
Plus the place is pretty small and their selection is rather limited, so there’s absolutely no reason to go by here, even in passing like I did, unless you really feel like you don’t want to get out of your car.
