Fantastic Charleston staple. Located conveniently across from Harris Teeter Grocery (plenty of parking) and next to my favorite sushi restaurant 167 Raw. East Bay is owned by a local husband and wife team who put their heart and souls into their business! They have an excellent selection of spirits, wine, and wine based canned cocktails like Tipsy Spritzers and also Volley (spirits based). Not to be missed in Charleston!

Great store and prices. Good variety. Tastings are always fun. Very personable. They have been known to hold luggage for visitors waiting for their hotel to be available so they can shop around the market. On several occasions the owners have driven customers to their hotels. They care a great deal about their customers and community. Thank you East Bay!!

Terrible experience and prices. The employee said he couldn’t return a perfectly unopened bottle due to state law, which is untrue. There is not notice that all sales are final, in the store or on the receipt. The employee was rude and unhelpful. Try any other liquor store in the area.

Just got into Charleston today and found some crown royal peach. $10/bottle less than any store I’ve found it. I purchased 5 bottles and they even held onto them for me to pick up later after walking around all day. Great selection, service and prices. 5 star.

Excellent experience @ this establishment. I walked in & was warmly greeted by the gentleman behind the counter. He was very engaging and helped me make a good tequila selection. Offered me a rewards program, unfortunately I am not local.The establishment was spotless and had a comfortable vibe.SOLID

East Bay Wine & Spirits on East Bay Street in Charleston is a great place to shop for all things wine and liquor. This store is very convenient and accessible when you are in the area. The store is well managed and organized so you can go right to what you are looking for. I have had a really good experience every time I have shopped here.

Customer service was I would say just plain lazy. Asked me to leave because I had my children with me. Single parents I guess cant buy liquor from their store. We were the only ones in the entire store and my children were by the front door away from any bottles. I found better service and prices at Burris. Redbreast 12 year single cask. Ill take my money anytime after that encounter.

Stopped in today to pick up some wine and was happy to find East Bay was sampling some fantastic local whiskey. Great selection of local spirits and wines from all regions. Family business and they all went out of their way to make this Canadian feel welcomed and appreciated. Will be back!

Great store!!! Customer service was outstanding. I asked for ideas on some sweet mix drinks I could do for a gathering I was having. The manager was so helpful and the drinks ended being a big hit. Thank you!!!!’

Friendliest liquor store in town. Not the most massive selection but... The best staff. Come here for high end stuff... They also tend to run out of big sellers like Titos towards the end of the week. Be prepared to have to go elsewhere to get something specific. Some shelves are a bit bear on a Saturday afternoon.

They have what you need, in a convenient place. You could ask for a bigger selection, but really - its a small building. Everyone Ive bought from was friendly, and had advice without being pushy. No complaints.

This is the most expensive place in town. Its a brand new owner as of April 2016. They treat normal releases like they are something special. When it comes time for allocated bourbons or other limited releases, forget about it. For example, they were selling a bourbon that retailed for a little over $100 (pappy van winkle 15) for $2100. The prices got worse from there. When the store employee called the owner on the phone and told me why the prices were, I told him (in a polite manner) that the owner was out of her mind with those prices. The store employee (a younger boy with glasses) responded to me by calling me a dou$@bag and if I didnt like the prices that I could go @&$! off. All because I told him that I thought the owners prices were ridiculous. I considered arguing with the young man, but I took the high road and left the store without saying anything. I went across the street to Pences liquor and found exactly what I wanted at very fair prices along with a very friendly staff. DO NOT GO TO EASTBAY WINE & SPIRITS!!!
