Need a bottle for a party this weekend? Looking for a rare bourbon, tequila or rum? Must get a bottle in the next hour for whatever reason? We're here to help. Not too much has changed on the booze ordering landscape since Drizly was swallowed up by Uber Eats in early 2024. And while we miss that dedicated service,"
"While it might seem counterintuitive to suggest this at first, you would ideally order directly from your local liquor store (or pick up something from there). It's going to be cheaper, and you can develop a relationship with that shop, They'll get to know your preferences and maybe hint at a rare, allocated bottle availability. There are some smaller and more locally-focused options as well (like BOTLD in Pennsylvania) that might serve you better, depending on your location."
"Similar to Drizly: Saucey Available in several major cities, Saucey is your "I need some booze and mixers quick" option, offering a 30-minute delivery window. It's a pretty minimal - it lacks the curation and insights of Drizly - but it replicates the basic requirements of door-to-door booze service with a modest delivery fee. There's also a loyalty program, ongoing sweepstakes and, in some places, tobacco product delivery. * See also: ReserveBar, Uber Eats, Delivery.com, Minibar Delivery, Grubhub, Instacart"
Ordering directly from a local liquor store is generally cheaper and allows customers to build a relationship with staff who can recommend or notify about rare, allocated bottles. Smaller, location-specific services such as BOTLD can outperform national apps depending on region. Wine-Searcher helps locate any bottle, including non-wine spirits. Drizly was absorbed by Uber Eats in early 2024, and apps like Saucey replicate quick door-to-door delivery with 30-minute windows, modest fees, loyalty programs, and occasional tobacco delivery. Uber Eats and similar platforms are useful when customers know exact items but offer less curated recommendations.
