Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not here, call the shop on (410) 643-9133 — someone who knows the shelves will answer.

Do you deliver on Kent Island?

Yes, within about 15 miles of the shop — that covers Chester (21619) and Stevensville (21666). There is a $250 minimum order, so delivery suits a party, a wedding or an office event rather than a single bottle. Call us on (410) 643-9133 and we will confirm your address and arrange a slot.

Can I call ahead and have my order ready?

Yes, and it is the fastest way to shop with us. Phone through what you want and we will check the shelf, set it aside at the register with your name on it, and have it waiting. If you would rather not come in, we will bring it out to your car.

Can you order in a bottle you do not stock?

Usually, yes. Call us with the name and we will tell you whether we can get it. A small special order — a few cases — normally takes about 10 days. A larger order can take up to a month if the stock is not already with us, so give us as much notice as you can for a wedding or a big party.

What are your opening hours?

We are open seven days a week: Monday to Thursday 8am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday 8am to 10pm, and Sunday 8am to 8pm. Holiday hours differ on a few dates each year and are listed on our Contact page when they apply.

Do you carry non-alcoholic options?

We do, and it is a proper section rather than an afterthought. We stock non-alcoholic craft beers, zero-proof botanical spirits and alcohol-free aperitifs, including Blue Moon NA, Peroni 0.0 and Almave, alongside craft sodas and mixers.

Do you sell ice, mixers and lottery tickets?

Yes to all three. We keep bagged ice, and a full range of mixers — craft tonic and soda, bloody mary mix, cocktail syrups — alongside snacks and party essentials. Lottery tickets are available at the register.

Do you sell kegs?

No, we do not stock kegs. For a party we can help with cases, and we deliver locally on Kent Island for orders over $250 — call us on (410) 643-9133 and we will work out what you need.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. Gift cards are available in the shop in any amount, and they are a safe bet for the person who already owns every bourbon you can think of.

Do you hold tastings?

Yes, though not on a fixed schedule. We run in-store tastings when a distiller, winery or brewery has something they want people to try — often a new release, and often a local Maryland producer. Ask when you are next in, or call us on (410) 643-9133, and we will tell you what is coming up.

Where exactly are you, and is there parking?

We are at 20 Kent Town Market in Chester, MD 21619 — in the Kent Town Market plaza just off Route 50, between the Safeway and Big Lots. The plaza car park is right at the door.
