9th Street Bottle Shop

The Di Bruno Bottle Shop is the best bottle shop in the city and my go-to place for interesting and exciting wines. Their expert curation is unmatched. The selection is thoughtful, elevated, and never pretentious. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to help. Whether I need the perfect dinner pairing, a standout gift, or something fun and unexpected, they always lead me to exactly the right bottle. It’s a true neighborhood gem — the kind of place I love to support because they do everything with excellence and heart.

We purchased a beautiful bottle of wine to accompany a dinner we were cooking while on vacation. The gentleman in the store was incredibly helpful without being condescending or making you feel silly for not understanding all of the varied options related to wine. I would definitely recommend going here for a great bottle of wine. They had a great variety.

The staff were friendly and helpful when we stopped in before our SuperBowl party. They have a nicely curated selection of wines and beers in their Italian Market location. They also have a unique vending machine by the register. For only 4 quarters ($1), you can buy a tiny color art print created by Inciardi. We got cheese, olive and beverage prints. The staff will make change if you need it.

Stopped by after Richard came by the establishment I work at. Such a kind gentleman so I made an effort to go here. Unfortunately he was off that day but the employees there were awesome. They even offered me some samples of wine of which I bought a bottle of. I am not from Philly but if I ever find myself here again, this is a shop I am sure to visit again!

Wow! This place is a 10/10. My aunt, cousin and I stumble into this shop haphazardly and was welcomed by a friendly associate immediately. He helped us find the a new wine to try along with offering samples of cheese, olives and prosciutto. Then we asked where the best place was to eat some take out food we had ordered elsewhere and since it was raining he offered to let us sit in the shop and even went and got us disposable plates and silverware. I mean, that’s hospitality at its finest. Highly recommend!

The person who manages (or maybe owns?) this shop is so incredibly kind, warm, and helpful. This is one of the best bottle shop experiences I have ever had. He takes great care in selecting the wines that are carried here and knows a lot about each winemaker and bottle. He was able to talk to us about some options without being pretentious or talking over our heads.

I'm speaking as a craft beer drinker here. This store has an amazing selection of local beer and craft beer. If you are a fan of craft beer, it's worth checking out selected beer here. I got one of my favorite sour beer and IPA here. People at the store are also really helpful in recommending great selection of beer and wine (if you're a wine fans).

A variety of bottles and regions, but quite snooty and overpriced. Only a handful of selections under $25, most are in the $30 - $60 range. Also, the entrance is unfortunately not accessible. I also think 7pm is pretty early to close on weeknights.

Headed over while waiting for my food from Angelo's and was greeted by a nice little bottle shop offfering some great bottles of wine and some cold drinks and snacks. There's some chairs and stools to rest your feet while sipping a drink and looking at the people sitting at tables across the street. It was a perfect place at the perfect time - thank you Bottle Shop for making my day.

Staff was very friendly. Little expensive but this is a niche shop so I wasn't surprised. Fun place to stop if you're in the area.

I told myself I'd stop coming here and remember to stock up on bulk wine from the much more affordable Fine Wine and Good Spirits, but sometimes it's a Sunday night and you need a glass of wine to counteract the Sunday scaries and so you pop on over here for a quick bottle of Montepulciano or sparkling rosé, what of it? It is very pricy (for instance, the cheapest bottom row where you'd usually find your $7-10 wines in any other liquor store START at $17-18 here), however, it's great in a pinch and the selection is really good for being such a small place. Every libation I've drunk from here has been fantastic, and not always one I could find at the state stores. Plus, they sell some of those fancy ciders in cans and a few sweet jawns from local dessert places. Also, bonus, the staff is dope here. Super friendly and inviting, and knowledgeable about the wine they're selling. I had a particularly helpful sales associate help me find a good red to pair with butternut squash ravioli the other night, and it was on point.

I walked into Di Bruno Bros. 9th Street Bottle Shop last week by accident. I was aiming for the cheese shop but saw the Di Bruno sign and went inside, only to realize I was in their newer bottle shop. I noticed right away that they had plenty of other merch, and since I only needed a couple things, I figured I'd find everything I needed while also shopping around for some wine. The woman working that day was so friendly and helped me pick out a couple bottles. Maybe I didn't shop around enough but I thought their wine was on the pricey side; the two bottles were each in the $25-$35 range. After locating the sharp provolone and soppressata I came in for, I added a six pack of non-alcoholic Athletic beer, and that's how a hundred bucks was spent in the matter of five minutes. Definitely a convenient one stop shop though everything adds up really fast!

Not terrible but not the best. They didn't have what I liked however they were really helpful with picking out a new option!

Way, way over priced wine. Cheapest bottle is about $16 +tax and it treats deplorable, you can get similar for $7 at trader Joe. Tourist trap. You are warned.

I was excited for this shop to open, but after stopping in this past weekend it appears they've missed the mark. Contrary to what the name suggests, there is actually a limited selection of bottles of both beer and wine. Half of the store inventory is dibruno products of cheese, meats, spreads, crackers, etc, which are items that can be purchased down the street at the original Dibruno's storefront, let alone every supermarket in the region. While having some snacks there is a great idea for folks that want to buy a bottle to sit and drink while munching, it feels that the selection of the alcohol needs to be enhanced in order to present differentiation and a "draw" to this store vs others in the area. I'm hoping they evolve the strategy over time.

shout out to the manager who was super friendly and professional! store is inviting and organized, has a bunch of fun natural wines, cool beers and some snacks to grab if ya don't feel like making multiple stops. thanks for being open during the pandemic and keeping it super clean and cool.

The bottle shop is a great addition to the neighborhood. Nice selection of beer and wine, most of which are not typically available in big box stores. Plenty of seating to relax and share a bottle of wine or a few beers. Take a bottle to go home or your to your favorite BYOB. There are also plenty of DiBrunos snacks to purchase and enjoy. When the weather warms up they will have outdoor seating as well.

I purchased a $30 bottle of wine here and it was extremely delicious (Bebame). So I came back a couple weeks ago, purchased three bottles of it, got home, tried each, and they were clearly turned from heat damage. A noticeable raisiny chemical taste that was not present in the bottle the first time I had bought it and which made it undrinkable. I went back with the bottles, each almost totally full, and told them the problem. They didn't believe there was a problem with it because they were twist off bottles and therefore they couldn't be so they corked". They each tried a sip, acknowledged that it tasted raisiny, but said they wouldn't let me replace it with bottles that were drinakable. Seems weird because it would have been a very weird and pointless scam on my part (nor did they accuse me of scamming, the employees were very polite and didn't dismiss me out of hand, I got the impression it's just bad policy), and this isn't a struggling small business. It's owned by DiBrunos. Anyway if you shop here you better hope the case wasn't left in a hot truck or something! edit//FOLLOW-UP: I ordered four bottles of bebame online and they're all really good so I was definitely right about the ones i got here being turned. DiBrunos should stick to cheese.

Excellent selectIon of hard to find, unique wines and beers. Great addition to the neighborhood!
