LeNell's is where you go when you need a very specific liqueur, type of bitters or a large selection of mocktail ingredients. A lot of their stuff tends to be on the high side for pricing but man, if you need it in a pinch, they probably have it or can recommend a great substitute. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and will sometimes even provide a taste test. The store decor is kind of like a mini museum to liquor and fun to wander around in with the bathtub gin definitely a centerpiece.

Would absolutely return when I'm in town. Such a cool vibe and the woman was extremely helpful to selecting the right bourbon for me. All boutique stuff (as you'd expect), and even samples of some stuff. The parking is odd and it's a little hard to find. But worth it.

Such a great place - loved the selection here of almost exclusively things you can’t find anywhere else. Will be back next time I’m in town again.

LeNell's is a great little spot to find a good variety of what seems like hand-picked spirits, liqueurs & everything else you need for crafting high-quality cocktails. The have a selection for N/A cocktail lovers as well. I even found a few bottles of Mexican Cake in there; a bone to those of us who enjoy big stouts. Best of all, the staff is very knowledgeable about what's on the shelves and will share as much as you'd like to help decide what to try. They have frequent tasting events too. By far my favorite spot to find the good stuff.

This is almost certainly the best, most diverse, most adventurous spirit shop in the state - a control state that makes doing independent spirits business a challenge. Fortunately, LeNell's manages to navigate the red tape and get the best. What you will find is a tidy shop with hand-picked selections, staffed by lovely people who will get your needs expertly sorted. The shop also hosts talks and tastings, so get on the list.

This is a neat little place to buy and sample your favorite liquor. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Exceptional service and the little extras that are thrown in make it boutiquish for sure. Prices are a little hefty for some of the things that you can walk into a regular liquor store and get at any time.

If a certain liquor isn't at the state store or you really like high end bourbons or making cocktails is your thing and you haven't been here?Then you're not being true to who you really are.It's like that. A true alcohol lover's joint.And it isn't all expensive stuff. They got the real deal, bonded Evan Williams bourbon, for under 30 bucks a fifth. Others too.Worth the trip.

That was an educational, fun visit with a few roads down memory lane. Some bottles I hadn't seen since I moved to Alabama, some I hadn't seen since I had moved to the States. I was offered some samples and left happy with a few bottles of never ever seen spirits.If you are looking for a vermouth that has pronounced vanilla notes or is cinnamon forward, when you need a bourbon that you cannot get anywhere else, a gin from Sweden or France, this is the place to go and find it. Bring some time to learn something new and socialize with the proprietor and staff.

Ashley was wonderful and provided great guidance. On my last visit, Justin helped to pick out the perfect gift and Eric had great suggestions for a brunch cocktail.

Small store (approximately 200 SF) with limited inventory. Out of the normal areas in B'ham.
