If you are truly liking different types of beer, then this is a must stop! If you dont find something with the extensive tap menu, youll surely find it on the enormous selection on the shelf or big refrigerator! Had a delicious Smoothie beer with flavors of mango!! Absolutely delicious, aromatic, foamy, and just sour enough!

Love this place! Their selection of craft beverages is insane, and I love that the staff is so helpful and engaging when trying to make your selections! The outside patio is one of my Orlando favorites as well.

First time stopping by this past weekend. Their craft selection was surely a treat for both me and my husband. Our bartender Harrison helped us put together a six pack to go and recommended some great beers! Very impressed with the service and how quaint the space felt. We will definitely be returning!

Super cute place to sit outside nice to relax but they charge extra to open a can of beer or seltzer and drink it there. A $4 drink becomes $9. Other than that very cool staff my daughter likes the vibes

Best choice of beers in town, new outdoor seating is really nice as well. Usually had around 15 beers on tap, with a huge bottle selection as well.Occasionally has delicious food pop ups as well, which is always nice after a few beers.

I’m from New York and I always look where to buy good craft beer everywhere I go and when I came last year to Florida I said let me give GB’s a try and man what a good choice! Now besides the VERY helpful and friendly staff they actually have a very good selection and for very good prices! I’ll be seeing you guys in about a month!!!

They dont serve food apart from special popups. Their beer collection is great and they are cheap. The staff are incredibly friendly and a joy to be around. I think the current glass in which they serve their beer is the best beer glass ever made.

Virginia Drive has so many amazing locations but Bottle Shop is easily my favorite. The variety of beers in the cases as well as on draft is a craft beer lover’s paradise. The bartenders are always attentive and willing to answer any questions/ compliment your beer selection. Whenever my friends wanna meet up downtown, 90% of the time we end up at GB’s cause we just love everything about it.

Love this place! Awesome local craft beer selection both on tap and bottled/ canned for purchase to take home. Definitely stop here if your in the area. Even if you dont have time for a drink, still can do a grab and go

Great little craft beer bar and carry out shop. They have about 20 on tap in which you get anywhere from a 3oz taster up to a growler. They also offer about 300 different bottles and cans for retail to go or for a $2 corkage you can drink it on premise. Dave, behind the bar was quite accommodating. Besides making me feel quite welcome, he also gave me tips on other cool bars and breweries in the area.

Review №25

Great place to pick up craft beer, or enjoy a few drafts/bottles there. Usually a food tent/truck on Friday/Saturday. They do a really great job of having a wide variety of beer styles and from many breweries far and wide. Parking is tough, only a small lot for a few cars, so plan to parallel park down the side street(dont park in church lot across the side street).

Impressive and interesting selection of beers and the person who ringed me up was pretty funny. They also rotate food trucks which makes it a different and enjoyable experience almost every week. I has Yukari Ramen last time I was there and was very delicious!

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed GB yet, after it being my favorite place for YEARS. The bartenders are friendly, the options are plentiful, and the seating is comfortable. And, of course, you can’t beat the prices. The corkage fee is very reasonable if you want to hang out for a bit.

GB Bottle Shop is a hidden gem (at least it was for us)... Great selection of brews and craft beers, and, most importantly, friendly and courteous staff.

Review №31

Excellent collection. You want some great and semi rare beers? Its at least a good spot to check out.The icing on top is that they also have more than 20 beers on tap to drink on site.Some of the beers on tap were less exciting than expected but not sure if they sat tapped for a while cause of covid or got shipped wrong and but I dont feel I can fault the shop cause they came out cold and bubbly. Just milder.The staff is pleasant, and cleaning and washing are taken seriously enough.

Review №33

One of my go to craft beer bars in town. Draft selection is always good and if you can’t find something you’re in the mood for on draft, they have a great bottle selection that you can enjoy from for a small corkage fee. I’d confidently say there’s something for everyone here. They even have wine, cider, and seltzers if you or someone you’re going with is not in the mood for beer.

After moving to the area, I spent a fair bit of time trying out different beer stores, hoping to find someplace with a wide variety of craft beers. Once I found GB Bottle Shop, I didn’t need to look anymore.Amazing selection with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Happily drive the 45 minutes each way through Orlando traffic for my monthly beer run.

Review №42

This place is awesome! Second location for the Gnarley Barley. Tons of beers to try! The cooler is awesome because you can either buy them and bring them home or pay a corkage fee and drink them on the spot.Dont forget to stumble down to The Thirsty Topher for another beer while youre at it 😀

Review №49

The place has a great collection of beers but they practice a truly snobbish policy — if you drink your beer in house they will charge you 2-3 dollars extra. They don’t make this clear before purchase, and instead simply have an out-of-the-way sign on top of the fridges that you don’t notice at all. That’s right: your 6 dollar beer is really 9 dollars if you drink it there. Hey, the problem is not the charge — the problem is they don’t let you know before you pay. It’s unfortunate when businesses do these unethical and amoral practices.

There really is no better place in Orlando for a varied and curated draft selection, phenomenal bottle/can choices, and great staff who remember you. This is where my buds and I go to drink when we go out, nine times out of ten.At first the location was kind of industrial chic Spartan, but over time theyve added more shelving and plants and it has a great comfortable and cozy vibe. Wish they had food trucks more often but it might not be possible where they are so thats no criticism. Just selfish wishing.If you like great beer this is the place to go. Reasonable pricing. Multiple pour sizes if you dont want to commit. Just thoughtful in every way. Coming from the great minds at Gnarly Barley and with some added input from their GB staff Im sure, this the THE taproom in Orlando as far as Im concerned.

This place is amazing. Any beer you could think of, they have. They’re ALWAYS friendly and helpful and I’ve been probably 15-20 times so that’s a pretty solid ratio.

Great selection of quality craft on tap & bottles and cans. Love that you can get taster & half pours here. Grab a bottle or can to enjoy at the bar ($2 charge) or take it to go. You can also get most of their drafts in crowlers to go.Their menu is updated on Untappd!Great service here too.

Review №62

Im a huge fan of sours - GBs does a great job of getting some on tap as well as having some cold singles in the cooler and multi-packs on the shelf to take home. Im always happy with the staffs friendliness and knowledge. Theyre also great at updating their menu online.

Review №63

Exceptional craft beer selection. Pours from taps are in a nice selection of sizes, great for sampling OR staffing. Several coolers with canned beers as well to enjoy on-premises (reasonable corkage charge) or to-go. Service is excellent. Would be 5-stars if it had more ambiance and better parking, but still an excellent tap room for the craft beer aficionados. Probably due to relocate!

Awesome bar. Super nice staff, always. In the evening, they now have some adult lunchables on hand, which are tasty if youre looking for a snack and not a full-on meal. I love their draft beer selection but they also have all sorts of canned/bottled options in side fridge. Board games. Play movies on big screen sometimes. Chill vibe.

Great selection of draft and bottled craft beer. There are many hard to find bottles here as well. You can drink the bottled beer while your there or take it home. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Great atmosphere inside. It is in a great location with several breweries, craft beer bars, cigar bars and restaurants nearby with walking distance of each other.

This is such a great and underrated place. Its not a fancy place, but its definitely a community place. Theyre dog friendly, and have cold cement floors. Theyre family friendly, with piles of board games.Theyre beer-versed friendly, obviously, with a lot of diverse options to offer, between their multitude of drafts and their plenitude of cans, bottles, and packages.

Review №83

Great local spots in the Mills area! The BEER-tenders are very knowledgeable of the beers they serve and are great and at recommending the right beer for you. Samples are offered to make sure you like what you’re ordering if your unsure. In addition to the many draft options, they have tons of cans/bottles available. There is a corkage fee added to opening bottles/cans, however it’s maybe 1-2$. No food but will have food trucks outside and you’re also able to bring in food. They also allows dogs inside as long as they are well behaved and leashed.
