Cuba Liquor World is a bottle store at 145 Cuba Street, right in the middle of Wellington's CBD, and holds a 4.4 Google rating.
A good bottle store does more than line up the familiar brands. Regulars tend to look for quick turnover in the chiller, because hoppy craft beers are best drunk fresh and fade within months on a warm shelf. Buying singles is a low-risk way to try something new before committing to a whole pack. Staff who know their shelves are the best resource in the shop: ask what suits the meal you're cooking or the styles you already drink, and you'll usually leave with something better than you'd have found on your own.
On one of Wellington's liveliest and most social streets, that puts it in easy reach of anyone in the central city heading home with a bottle in mind.
