Downtown Spirits, located in downtown Seattle since 2012, is a well-regarded retailer of wine, spirits, and beer. The store offers an extensive selection of the world's finest libations, curated by knowledgeable and friendly staff who are eager to help customers find great bottles. Customers have praised the staff for their friendliness, helpfulness, and willingness to assist with selections, often sharing positive experiences such as assistance in choosing a special Champagne or engaging conversations about different regions. The store's prices are considered reasonable for a downtown location, and the new downtown store provides a unique shopping experience. In addition to in-store shopping, Downtown Spirits offers efficient delivery services, with many customers highlighting quick responses, updates, and prompt deliveries, often within 30 minutes. Customers appreciate receiving email alerts about price reductions and the ease of ordering, describing the service as "best in show." However, some concerns have been raised about the store's checkout process, especially the automated, app-based system that requires a credit card or phone to enter, which some find confusing and off-putting. This system can make checking receipts and paying with cash or without a phone challenging, leading to mixed feelings about the convenience and inclusivity of the shopping experience. Despite this, Downtown Spirits remains a popular destination for those seeking a great selection and helpful service in downtown Seattle.
Great range of spirits, some international but heaps of local American or Washington based stuff too. Also, being able to pick up and walk out is convenient, very cool. As you walk out, they are still going to help paper bag your bottles so aside from the payment, things are pretty normal.

Nice selection but the auto check out process not being compatible with signing up with the membership was not clear. Once I checked out I had no option to sign up and get the discount, couldn't even reverse the charge.

I always get courteous and prompt service from Downtown Spirits!
