Redmonds of Ranelagh

Be still my fluttering Yankee heart, Redmond's has BLUE MOON!
Much like Stoneybatter's Drink Store (but larger, and carrying a wider selection that boggles the mind) Redmond's is the connoisseurs offy with an ear and palette for great drink.
I'm adventurous in my booze choices, and I've given quite a few of their wines and small-brewery labels a sip in my time. However, I 'm looking forward to a taste of home, as they're stocking the punchy brews from hometown hero Victory Brewery (Chester County, put your hands up).
And then there's that yummy Blue Moon. A family favourite back on the ranch, Blue Moon is nigh on impossible to get in Ireland... funny that, as it's owned by Coors.
But pop into Redmond's and a bank of those blue-label beauties await.
Go. Drink. Enjoy. Just leave some for me!

A small, family run off licence with by far the widest selection of beers, wine and spirits anywhere in Dublin.

I don't come here very often, but I do go and stock up on decent import beers (especially American IPAs and Weissbier hard to find outside of Germany) a few times a year.

As for spirits, you can find pretty much anything, from multiple Patron tequilas to Calvados available here.

Best off-licence around, have an amazing selection of wines and beers, great if you're happy to experiment and try new flavours.

I was in heaven when I finally found Redmond's. I'm sorry Europe... you do a lot of things well, but American micro-brews are where it's at. I can take only so much Guinness and Carlsberg. Their German and Belgian beer selection is quite nice. Have been treated to some nice wines and whiskeys here too, and the staff are very friendly.

i'm not a huge beer drinker but when i'm in the neighborhood i always drop by here. they have the most diverse collection of beers from around the world. they have several san francisco brewery beers which my husband's a huge fan of. the thing that impressed me most though, was that they had bruges zot beers which i love. the brewery is the only one they still have running in bruges, belgium and it's a very very tiny place. it's shocking that anyone outside of belgium has their beers. i would go here just to buy them.

they do also have a big selection of spirits as well, but being from california, i have a hard time paying the high prices for things like patron tequila and grey goose vodka. to be fair tho, patron and grey goose are pretty pricey everywhere in dublin cuz they're super premium.

Amazing selection of international beers, including some of my favourite American microbrews cold: Dogfish Head 60 and 90 Minute IPAs; Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Torpedo, Anniversary, IPA; Goose Island Honker, Pale Ale; and many others. Big wine selection and a fair bit of liquor choices as well. So far, it's the best off-licence (liqour store) I've found in/near Dublin city centre.
