About Us
Since 1999, Bottleworks has been Wallingford’s go-to spot for thoughtful drinks and questionable opinions about them. We’re part bottle shop, part cozy bar, and fully committed to stocking the best beer, wine, cider, mead, sake, and non-alcoholic options we can get our hands on. That means local favorites, hard-to-find imports, and cellar gems that deserve their moment.
We’re not here to lecture you about tasting notes unless you ask. We just believe in good drinks, good people, and giving a damn about where it all comes from. Our staff is sharp, curious, and always happy to help you find something interesting. Whether you're here for a four-pack, a fun pét-nat, a bottle of locally made Saké, or whatever’s on draft, we’ve got you covered.
You can drink here. You can take it to go. You can ask weird questions. We won’t flinch. We also collaborate with small producers, raise a glass to the community when we can, and take pride in keeping things independent and intentional.
Stop by. Browse the shelves. Stay for a pour. Or don’t. We're not your boss.
FAQs
WHAT YEAR DID YOU OPEN?
1999, making us the oldest bottle shop in Washington State.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?
SUN-WED: 12-8
THURS-SAT: 12-9
(Nothing good happens after 9PM)
DO YOU ALL ALLOW CHILDREN?
Though we think kids are pretty rad, our licensing does not allow anyone under 21 to enter our establishment.
Yes, that includes babies.
No exceptions, not even for the cool ones with sunglasses and tiny Converse.
DO YOU ALLOW DOGS?
Yes, we allow well behaved dogs, especially if they’re cute AF.
We even have some treats from our neighbors at Wally Pets .
DO YOU HAVE PARKING?
Not really. It’s Seattle. Street parking is the name of the game. But it's free. We strongly recommend not parking in the KeyBank or QFC lots. They’re ticket-happy and not shy about it.
If you’re feeling like a rebel, the QFC lot behind us is technically off-limits, but here’s a trick: park there, walk into the side door of QFC, then stroll out the front. That way the parking lot patrol can’t say you didn’t “shop” at QFC. Fight the power.
But seriously, we are not responsible if you receive a ticket.
DO YOU ALL HAVE DRAFT?
Yes, 12+ rotating taps featuring rare and hard to find beer, cider, wine, etc.
Check out our draft list !
DO YOU ALLOW SAMPLES?
Due to having mutiple rare beers on draft on any given day, we do not provide free samples .
That being said, we are here to help you find what you want.
WHAT IS YOUR CORKAGE FEE?

DO YOU HAVE WI-FI?
Absolutely. Come loiter responsibly, pretend to work on your laptop, and question your life choices while sipping a draft.
DO YOU HAVE FOOD?
We’ve got some rotating snacks now and then, but nothing that’ll keep you from making bad decisions on an empty stomach.

Yes, we do. Just don’t show up with a full Thanksgiving spread unless you’re sharing.
WHAT DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN STOCK?
Check our web store to see our up-to-date inventory.

CAN I ORDER A KEG FROM YOU?
