Family run business. Such friendly service and good prices.
Even if other places may have specials , this is our local small business that we should support especially if the owner is such a gentleman

Best service,number one bottle shop in a he area,

This 5 stars is rewarded to the excellent service provided at Rhodes Liquorland today Sunday 18 Feb at 2pm. He welcomed with a hello and smile as soon as I arrived in store. I was looking at the back and he actively came over to check if I needed help and provided recommendations when what I wanted was sold out. Not often you go to a bottlo and get great service like this!

Please change your attitude Mr. Allam,
A kind request to the manager on duty to teach him how to deal with customer despite's having poor communication skill.

Great selection of wine, beers and ciders

I love these guys. I've been coming to this place for a few years. Alcohol prices are great, but cigarette prices high. Still, lovely people and a cosy little shop

Very poor selection and unlike Dan Murphys where you can just become a Dan Murphys member to get member prices you are forced to become a Woolworths rewards member to get member prices. Last time I ever use BWS, Dan Murphys had it for cheaper anyway and has a way better selection.

Nick is probably the most lovely person you will ever meet. He is welcoming, friendly and a beautiful part of the community.

Stop using Drive Yellow as your delivery partner. They are extremely unreliable and never deliver. Issues every single time we order.

Really unhappy. Been standing outside for over 20 mins waiting for a staff member to return. They left a sign saying back in a tick with the time 7.55pm and it’s now 8.25pm. Going to be late and have to leave. About 10 ppl have come, waited and left. Unacceptable

Very unhappy. Waited at BWS lygon court for ages for a staff member to return. Left and went to this BWS only to find this staff member had also left. Their sign said 7.45pm and it was past 8.30pm. What is going on with your staff!! You lost a lot of business as a result as many customers came and left

What kind of jokers are working at your store ? Irresponsible service of Alcohol

Very disgusting customer service by one individual, was very rude and ignorant. Accused me of stealing after I just purchased items and he couldn’t provide any evidence. I even gave him permission to pat me down. Putrid, didn’t even receive an apology.

Ordered 5 bottles of cabernet savignon on 25 May from Carlton BWS for a dinner tonight (Saturday). Go to open the first bottle to see I have been delivered Chardonnay...not a red in sight. Seriously poor and extremely disappointing!!!

Such a friendly owner and pricing is fairly good even sometimes better than the major liquor outlets

Great variety at great prices, good service staff

Their "specials" are only for woolworths members. The rest of us have to pay full price. Absolutely disgraceful. Won't be back.

How handy is this place? good selection of wines and beers. Super friendly owner, very helpful and when he found out I just moved here, we had an awesome lil chat. Prices were really good too. I shall get most of my treats here from now on. Always shop local when there is such great service

Nice bottlo, friendly staff, location, location, location.
Just wish they had slightly bigger selection.

Dee helped me find find everything I needed. So glad to find customers service with a smile. Love my local bws

Is someone forcing employee to work there? I shop there at 7:51 pm got slab of corona. Guy in counter was soooo rude didn’t even speak a word at checkout too. BWS need to fix it. Not looking for any exceptional service as I myself work in customer service but just saying “hi” is basic

Pretty good service and great deals

Very bad experience in customer service, by a guy looks like Asian Bangladeshi with glass have zero customer experiences need to teach him have got attitude problem while doing customer service. Need to be trained this staff.

The staff was not training well. He even don’t know how to sell gift cards…

Lucky to have a such friendly and cosy shop in our neighbourhood. The dog is definitely the highlight.

Parking in side street or small carpark at the back, Looks like a family business, Attentive and friendly staff.

Good selection to choose from and can swipe Flybys card!

It’s always closed with a sign stating “back in 15 minutes” they take longer than 15 minutes. Perhaps write on the sign what time you leave ?

I came over from uk!
Good bunch of lads work here!!!
Always very welcoming!

Friendly staff but the business hours should reflect the usual midday closure.

Always a good place to shop, friendly staff and a nice range of goods for a small bottle shop.





Friendly service and nice selection of booze 😊

Very friendly owner, you gotta go and pat his kelpie pup he's friendly too!






BWS Kogarah is small but well-stocked. There are good promotions and loyalty points for Woolies customers. Friendly service.



went and collected some zero percent alcohol beer. I was wishing to put a remarks to have all the beer chilled if it is possible.
so happy to collect and the guy gave me those chilled bottle despite of me not saying a word. just so happy and pleased with this little perks. I always want an ice cold drink.. wine, beer, cola or whatever it maybe.
it really made my day.. the guy also placed my order inside a box which was really good otherwise, I’ll be carrying everything in my bag.

Great service and friendly staff. Located next to Coles so you can get your groceries as well in one visit.
Didn't have a big of a range as desire but it's a small shop and not a warehouse so that's to be expected.

Great service!!!! You don't need to look at the time if you go after 9:45 pm coz all the staff keeps on yelling at you the time.

Great friendly service.
Amazing price and range of products.
Highly recommended!

Amazing customer service from Stuart! He was very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure I got my order delivered after initial complications with delivery.

Always have what I want 🥰 Josh and the Boyz are informative and great to banter with 🤣 prices are comparable to others🙂 a Great outlet that's local 👍👍👍👍👍

As great as the local safe way liquor shop can be for a general standard and you'll get as u need in advertisements etc.
5 stars for a bus would need to entail something out of the ordinary but cheers to bus anyhow!

I’ve been a regular customer here for years. Just shown the guy who works there my bank statement detailing a double transaction for the same day, time and amount. His only response is “Oh I wasn’t here that day. Maybe come back another day”. No refund offered. No apology. Nothing. Just lost a customer for life.

The closing time is inaccurate, they actually close cash sales from 9.45pm and card sales from 9.50pm. Would be very considerate to have realistic time frames on google, so you don’t waste your time on this store. Was also told by the cashier there was a bottle shop open till 11pm on Lygon street, which also wasn’t true. Thanks for the wild goose chase!

Good and clean bws. Well located on lygon, though good luck finding a park nearby! Cool room is always stocked up and the staff there are helpful, though seem like they need a bit more sleep haha.

Fantastic new place great to see they opened on here at this location it's so needed thanks for that great place clean and locally local too thx ciao

Have no complaints. Just your average bottle shop with good staff and a great range of products.

I forgot my ID and so manager, Nick, refused to serve me (despite clearly looking older than 25). I take that it's his job but he was rude, curt and inhospitable. Power trip much?

Friendly and helpful staff with a good range of stock for the size of the store.
Not what you would call exhaustive though. Just a good range of the staples.

Great new store and location is so convenient next to Woolworths and car park

Even though I didn't get the drink I was looking for, one of the staff helped me in purchasing an alternative. So the customer support was really nice.

Nice, quirky bar, with a cool shopfront decor. I was intrigued by the way they spell 'booze' as bws, lol. Good service at the start, but it was hard to get served after my first bottle of wine, they eventually told my boyfriend to escort me out. Weird. Fun night though

As a local Google guide I was very impressed with the professional services of one of the workers named Peter. I have been in retail management for over 20 years and very rarely have I ever come across such caring and friendly professional customer service . Peter is an asset to the company and I hope he is and will be recognized as that. I will be a returning customer and so will my family and friends.

The staff were very rude to me, especially that Asian guy. Aussie guy next to him was good he can understand better than him. I’m wondering why the staffs are very aggressive. Not welcoming, nothing. He said that his manager is very strict etc. perhaps, they should really solve their customer problems.

They sell the Best and good variety of wine . Prices are good and reasonable. Sometimes they are have specials on like you buy one and get on free .
Well if you are in chatswood do drop in and check it out . Thanks

There's no reason why I wouldn't rate this as a 5 star place as I was always looking to buy 0.0 beer and couldn't find it anywhere but now they offer not just a brand but three... Plus I've found the staff real nice and always there to help... Like so many other BWS stores, everything is nice and organised. Though it's located in a very busy location in Chatswood, I've never ever had to wait that much to scan what I bought thanks to the good work of the guys in there.

Rude self claimed manager who refused to serve even when ID is provided. No reason was provided and we were told not visit a store opened to public.

Absolutely shocking customer service. You should not speak to people like that and work in retail, will not be back.

Really good service, always quick to check in if you need a hand finding anything and additionally helpful in decision making and wine recommendations, I had no idea if the wine I had chosen was any good but they acknowledged the brand before I even got near the counter as a good choice!

Small but very affordable. Just don't expect a large range, but most items are catered for.

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasure to shop here, but due to space limitations, the range is somewhat smaller than other liquor stores. If you just want the basics on your way home from work, this place is great. If you want to explore something new or different, chances are they won't have it.

Terrible staff.
Been refused to buy ICE BAGS as I haven’t had an ID, the worst part behind this was the attitude of Steve who introduced himself as the manager and licensee.
I’m a licensee myself and I think the refusal was totally inappropriate.
But the fact of him telling me I have no idea and being completely rude about it was the upsetting part behind that.
A simple, ‘sorry house policy’ would have been acceptable, but he was calling me names I rather not repeat.
Worst customer service ever!

Pleasure to stop, chat and shop about the unique range of beers they have up on sale.

Great range of beer and spirits. Staff were very helpful and friendly, would definitely come back here

Good shop , well looked after by the boys , right next door to fish chips n burger joint , can’t go wrong with parking 2 mtrs away from both .

Staff there are what makes this store stand out. Always super friendly and approachable with a great passion for customer service.
Everytime I've shopped here they always are willing to spend the time answering my questions and pointing me in the right direction when trying to find the right product for the right occasion.
You can usually pick up a great bargain, and if you can't find one the staff have always found me something I love.

Fantastically curatored eclectic range at very reasonable prices. Shop here if you are sick of the big box wine offerings that all look alike and sell the same standardised rubbish.

Nice service with lots of premier selection red Wines and craft beers.Even better at reasonable price!

Best bottleshop around. Great staff, fair prices.

Quick and easy service, staff are always willing to help and speedy checkout. Normal prices are slightly more expensive but if you grab one of their deals it's much more worth it.

Love this place, visit often and always very helpful.

Purchased a six pack of Carlton Draught from here last week and the beer was completely flat. Tasetd like urine, like it was ten years old or something. Very dissapointed.

Great selection of imported and local spirits , wine and beer in the area.

Great selection of frothies, and a handsome young shop keep! :)
