H&F Bottle Shop

Still one of the best – but not the cheapest – places in town to find premium whiskies, liquors and mixers.
Fairly knowledgeable staff on most scotches and whiskies (bourbons, Irish, etc.).
Be sure to sign up for their email list to get updates on the newest and rarest additions to their shop. Those rare ones don’t last long due to the strong following of loyal customers.

When I walked in I was blown away they had a lot of choice items in this store and very knowledgable! I forgot to check in on Unilocal I got so excited! I will swing through again!!!

Walked here from Shepherd Center and opted against contrasting it against local supermarket Mix & Match selection & prices, but enjoyed the selection I made. The young staffer is clearly asked about wine and liquor more often, which makes sense given beer is just the very back corner of the stored.
RE: H&F, Assumed it was Holeman & Finch-​affiliated, especially given the proximity and the domain of their e-​list.

I’m a fan of the Holeman & Finch empire, especially with their bread, so I was curious to see what was in the H&F Bottle Shop.
The store is very organized with a teeny bit of an old world feel. You’ll still be able to buy some vodka standards, but I guess what makes this place so different is that they carry some things that are a little more difficult to come by. My boyfriend, for example, wanted to see if the bottle shop sold Blackberry Farm brews after we visited the actual Blackberry Farm nearly a year ago. He had just noticed on his last visit to the H&F pub, that they were serving Blackberry Farm cheese, so it made sense. Unfortunately, the bottle shop was out of it.
We also thought maybe this Bottle Shop would carry some H&F’s popcorn. They don’t. There’s some kind of law that they can’t sell food in their liquor store, so we went on our happy way to the H&F Bread shop to acquire their bacon caramel popcorn.
I’d definitely recommend going to the H&F Bottle Shop for something interesting and out of the ordinary. It’s certainly not overwhelming like other big liquor stores.

If you make craft cocktails at home, this shop is a must! They have a huge selection of things like bitters, vermouth & other essential ingredients. They also have a pretty great selection of liquors I’ve never seen before, wines under $ 20 a bottle & handy bar tools, fun ice trays etc. For some basic liquors, I think they run a little more than the average package store, but for the hard to find items, definitely worth the trip! Oh and you can buy a decent size jar of Holeman & Finch Bloody Mary for only $ 8. Just add vodka or tequila! Yum!

H&F is a well-​edited booze boutique presented in an immaculate store right in the hear of Buckhead.
The staff was knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. They even have the best quality and hard to find accompaniments for cocktails.
This is not the shop to hit up if you are looking for 30 different kinds of gin or bourbon or vodka. But it is the right shop if you are looking for great examples of almost every kind of booze.
I would have given H&F five starts, but I find that their prices are high for some of their offerings. Particularly, a bottle of Blanton’s bourbon (which you can buy for $ 45 at many retailers) was priced significantly higher. A large bottle of Bulleit bourbon, however, was priced spot on.
I’m likely to become a regular at H&F and would recommend it to any connoisseur of cocktails who is looking for something special.

Why 5… Because it’s a rare little gem of craft libations and quality tools in every price range. You won’t find ask the names you know rather you will discover small batch offerings from a knowledgeable staff in a comfortable almost boutique setting.

This is definitely an overpriced wine and spirits store, but that is not really the point. This is NOT the place you stop before heading to a party if your goal is a case of Steel Reserve. This is a place for wine and spirits aficionados who like wine, but who also like to pick up cocktail books, bitters, mixing utensils ($ 45 gold stirrer, anyone?) and other cool stuff. I stopped in before heading to London to pick up some unique presents for my friends and came away with some great Holeman and Finch original items like t-​shirts and Tervis glasses. Very cool place with a very helpful staff.

Overpriced liquor store with an arrogant staff. There is nothing you can’t get at Tower or Greens but smaller selection and higher prices at H&F. They have some cool bar accessories but again the same or better at Cooks Warehouse or William Sonoma. Small wine selection and minimal beers.

My husband received an H&F gift certificate for coaching soccer last year (pro tip: this is a great idea!). We finally stopped in after dinner nearby, and were pleasantly surprised that they were open at 7:30pm (most shops in this strip are not).
We stopped in, and despite having two young kids with us (not our usual entourage), the place was very welcoming. It’s small, and they have a tiny putting green the kids played on while I browsed.
I wanted two bottles of red and one white, and instead of pretending like I didn’t need help, I went all in and asked for recommendations. We’ve opened two of the three bottles so far, and the results are fantastic. I’m sure they have bottles at all price points, but every bottle we purchased was less than $ 30.
They also carry bar supplies, hard alcohol and mixers. It’s small, warm and welcoming. Stop in, and be open to their recommendations!

This place has two major things going for it: the inventory is better than your average liquor store and the helpfulness of the staff. I always am greeted warmly and they will help with multiple recommendations for whatever you are looking for.
Prices are a little bit above regular prices for some of the common items that you can find at other stores.

I’ve been here a few times now, and always have friendly and expert advice on whatever cocktail I’m trying to make. Although the normal liquors are a little more expensive than your average liquor store, there are many unique things you can find here for your home bar. They have a database of all the cocktails served at H&F and Restaurant Eugene so you can get the ingredients after visiting the restaurant (as was my case). Two restaurants I highly recommend BTW.
I went home happy with some Orange Bitters and Peychaud Bitters, ready to make an Old Fashion. I’ll be back soon…

We have a rule when we walk in here: we can only buy as many items as one person can carry in their arms. If not for this rule we would beggar ourselves every time we entered the store.
There is so much cool stuff here, and a ton of hard to find liquors items. The shop keepers are incredibly helpful and will call local distributors to ask about any items they don’t have in stock. Each section is somewhat limited, but only contains the very best.
There isn’t praise high enough for H&F Bottle Shop — if you are a craft cocktail enthusiast or home mixologist, you must stop in here.

Excellent shop for both professional bartenders/​mixologists and at-​home enthusiasts like myself.
I originally went to add a couple more bitters to my collection at home and was hoping for more than just Angostura and Peychaud’s. They have a wide selection from Fee Brothers, Bitter Truth, Bittermen’s and a few others. The salesperson was very helpful in picking out a Regans Orange (a standard anyone should have) and Black Walnut bitters to go with a lot of the rye and bourbon drinks I make at home. On the same rack they also carried a few other quality mixers like Fever Tree Tonic water and Ginger Ale and a variety of syrups. There were also a few good books on the topics of cocktails for sale.
There’s a wide array of spirits but the bottom shelf here would be the top shelf for most any other liquor store. Don’t come here looking for Taaka. It’s not a wide selection and a bit pricy but it’s the best in Atlanta in terms of quality as far as I’m concerned. There were many hard to find spirits including Rittenhouse 100 (which I walked out with) and Snap and Root which I’ve only ever scene in the northeast. If there’s something you haven’t been able to find elsewhere, check here. And when I say pricy, I don’t mean they jack up their prices. What can be found in other liquor stores is around the same price here. The price comes from the high quality of other brands they carry.
As far as bar tools, this is the only place to go. I’ve been to tons of liquor stores around Atlanta and the only bar tools you can ever find are a 3-​piece shaker (usually plastic) and the occasional jigger or muddler. This place had everything you’d need and some things you probably don’t need but want anyway; shaker tins, hawthorne strainers, julep strainers, bar spoons, muddlers, lewis bags, absinthe spoons… you get the point. If you can find it behind a good bar, you can find it here.
I’m not a wine person, so didn’t check much of that wall but other Unilocal reviews seem to have covered that department.

Visiting the bestie in ATL, we stopped in to H&F Bottle Shop while we were waiting for our buzzer to ring for brunch next door at ‘Another Broken Egg’. This is totally the cutest little boutique wine shop in the middle of a strip mall (as apparently everything good in the ATL is).
Great selection of wines from around the world (and in all price ranges, holler!), bar tools, picnic swag, etc. Very helpful staff, knowledgeable and approachable. My friend and I are by no means winos, and we literally told the guy «I like super dry reds, and she likes fuller tastes, help us!» and he came out with our perfect «compromise wine»…which made for the perfect girl talk evening that night!
If I were a local, I would for sure come back. And Tip, the more affordable stuff is in the wooden crates in the center of the store!

Do you ever want to run through a shop like Veruca Salt of Willy Wonka fame, singing while pulling at paper rolls, welding a shopping cart at oompa loompas, and singing about how you want «it», whatever it is, nowwwwww? Well I really wanted to do that… though my «fantasy» is less based on being a rich demanding little brat and more based upon my wanting all the delicious wine I could shove into a shopping cart, if they actually had shopping carts, and singing about how I want the whole world and give it to me nowwww.
Anyhoo. lots of good wines at some fairly reasonable prices. Helpful knowledgeable winos, er… wine snobs, er… wine people. Lots of liquors and all those obscure mixers and elixirs that we have come to know and love from the Atlanta fancy schmancy bar scene. They’ve even got H&Fs own homemade Bloody Mary mixer bottled and ready to roll. There are also some interesting beers in the store. Will I be back? Yes. Will I bring my wallet? Well yes, because shit ain’t free. Will I run around the store singing «I want the world, I want the whole world, I want to lock it all up in my car, It’s my bottle of Pinot Noir, Give it to me NOW!»? Yes, but only in my mind.

Just a couple quick notes–
My mom and I went in this week to see if the gift cards from the H&F Bottle Shop were also good at H&F (a special friend is turning 50 next week and we were trying to decide how to fête him) — duly noted, gift cards are sold separately at each location.
Also, I was remiss not to elaborate on the great selection of bar tools, accessories, etc that they have in stock. Perfect for gift-​giving, hostess-​type presents, etc. From adorable (seriously– they really are) ice cube trays, to cocktail picks, to a great cutting board I have my eye on (it even has the H&F logo!!)…something in all price ranges and tastes. And did I mention what a chic, pretty little place it is?! Or that they have liquor now, too?! Great place.

A beautiful shop tucked in a stip mall on Peachtree. The shop is affiliated with Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch (thus– H&F). They currently are only carrying wine and bar accessories, they expect to get their license to carry a full line of spirits in about a month.
In the meantime, stop by and visit. The prices on wine cover a lot more of a range than you would expect– I saw bottles for as low as $ 8. They also have some interesting wines you won’t find at your average store. The owner, Andy, helped us pick a great Gruner Veltliner for around $ 15.
Definitely a destination if you’re looking for a special bottle to impress a wine snob, or just looking for something different to jazz up dinner.
Note– until they get spirits, they’re hosting weekly wine tastings.

A comfortable and classy atmosphere puts you at ease while you shop for wine at H&F. It’s actually a pleasant place to be, in stark contrast to the warehouse experience at most bottle stores.
The person who helped us listened to my preferences and price range and recommended two bottles that fit what I was looking for exactly. It was very relaxed and easy. It seems the limited selection is tailored to stuff they consider the best for each type and price point, so you get to skip the dross and get right to the good stuff, even if you can only spend eight bucks. Half the wine in the store is under $ 20 a bottle.
For some of you (well, for me), it’s worth dropping in just to see the music system. They have a fabulous turntable on loan from Audio Automation (I’ve shopped there! Great place!) and they always play cool jazz. The sound is wonderful.
Finally, the prices seem competitive and there is a 10% discount on 12 or more bottles of wine. Conveniently, the wooden wine cases are just the right size to hold records, once you drink up all the wine…

What with all the hype around every other outpost in the Linton Hopkins empire (Holeman & Finch, Restaurant Eugene, etc.), I’m surprised his wine shop has yet to be reviewed.
H&F Bottle Shop, located in the Peachtree Battle shopping center, doesn’t have a huge inventory like some other purveyors perhaps but their selection is very thoughtful and accommodating to all budgets. I’ve been twice now in the past month and been very satisfied with both purchases. Ashley, the wine concierge, couldn’t be more helpful in pairing wines with menus.
A nice selection of bitters and all manners of cocktail accessories are on offer, though their license to sell spirits is still not finalized. Once that is done, I expect H&F to be a go-​to spot for all my imbibing needs.
