North Boulder Liquor has been part of the NoBo community since 1939, making it one of the longest-running family-owned bottle shops in Boulder. Located right on Broadway, it is the kind of neighborhood store where the staff actually knows their inventory and can point you toward something worth opening.

What's on the Shelves

The beer selection runs the full range — local Colorado craft brews, import bombers, sour beers, and domestic standbys. The wine section covers everyday bottles as well as well-chosen selections for special occasions, and the store hosts free wine tastings every Friday.

On the spirits side, North Boulder Liquor stocks top-shelf single malt Scotch, single barrel bourbon and whiskey, tequila, rum, and vodka. Colorado-made spirits get their own dedicated space, which is a good place to look if you want to take home something made locally. The store also carries a cigar selection for those who like to pair a smoke with their pour.

A Family-Run Shop with Real History

Family owned and operated since 1939, North Boulder Liquor has stayed in the neighborhood through decades of change on Broadway. That kind of longevity in a retail environment says something — repeat customers, consistent buying, and staff who treat the selection seriously. The store is pet- and kid-friendly, which fits the relaxed, community-oriented feel of NoBo.



Free Wine Tastings

Every Friday, North Boulder Liquor runs complimentary wine tastings in the store. It is a low-key way to try before you buy and get a sense of what is new in the wine section. No reservation needed — just stop in during store hours.
