Kiwi Liquor

This bottle shop is great for wine. The selection was very good and laid out in a way that was easy to navigate. The beer selection on the other hand was not as voluminous, nor as easy to get around. The beer seemed to be placed in a way that followed no order or categorization. The guy working the counter was very nice and talkative. This was a good place to stop in for some alcohol before a night in or out. I would recommend this liquor store.

My favourite little liquor store in Ponsonby.
Run by really friendly young guys, grabbing your alcohol for a night out with friends has never been easier! I’m a really indecisive person, and these gentlemen have helped me choose what to drink many a time, and I have never been disappointed.
My most recent discovery was the Cranberry Lime Old Mout Cider. Kiwi Liquor has the entire Old Mout range available, and for a great price. Only nine dollars a bottle! Good discounts are always on offer at Kiwi Liquor. I have never been there and not managed to get a good deal on whatever alcohol I purchase.
Though Kiwi Liquor is a relatively small liquor store but manages to stock a wide range of beverages. Beer, wine, spirits, and cider — every drink you could want can be found in this store, including the great little hand-​painted tequila skulls that are currently popular.
If you’re in Ponsonby and in need of alcohol, don’t bother paying big bucks at the Super Liquor a few stores down, head in to Kiwi Liquor instead for a bargain and a friendly enjoyable experience!

This little bottle shop on Ponsonby Road reminds me of one of those stores you’d see in American movies set in rural Alabama or somewhere. You know, like there should be old men in rocking chairs outside swigging tinnies of beer and asking what «ciddie folk’re doin’ rown these pards.» I think perhaps it’s the extensive deck outside, or the weird smell that lingered about the place… or possibly it’s just my over active imagination. Either way, the shop looks a bit out of place, tucked away just off the road on the cool end of Ponsonby in amongst the trendy restaurants and hipster stores.
They’ve got a good selection of alcohol in here, including cans of Rekorderlig in every flavour – something I’ve not seen anywhere else and a welcome change to the bulky glass bottles and the majority of the stuff is already refrigerated, so good if you want to start drinking it right away. It’s reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. Just try to ignore the smell.
