Keife & Co.

Wine suggestion are usually hit or miss at most wine stores. These guys hit it out of the park every time. We stopped to get setup for a West Bank Levee picnic and it was an amazing time.

Awesome selection of wine and liquor. Service was great. Answered all my questions. Even had some cool bottles I have not seen at other spots.

They have a great wine and beer selection with some spirits. Love the cheese. We picked up a few to take back to the hotel

They are extremely kind. I reached out to them to see if they had a particular bottle for an anniversary present and although they sadly didn't have what I was hunting for they quickly responded to my inquiry through their webpage.

When Keife & Co opened in the first few years of the extended Katrina recovery (2009 maybe?) they elevated the game of wineselling in New Orleans. Always deeply committed to the craft of wine and spirits, Kief & Co. present carefully curated stock and provide accessible, friendly, knowledgeable guidance. If you want a bottle or a case to impress and delight either your honored guest or your own grape-juice loving self, go talk to the people at Keif& Co. Ask for John, say that Peter and Mimi sent you.

Great service and recommendations. Staff was immediate and helpful. Store held mostly wine but a precise amount of bourbon and some spirits. Not your average liquor store. More heavy on strictly wine and not a lot of low price options. Definitely higher class and quality, which is a good thing.

Very friendly service, despite being a bit busy when we visited. They could tell we were foreigners and were interested in where we were from. Ultimately, they recommended us good American Wines within the 20-35$ budget. We ended up with a Pinot Rosé, which was not my favorite, but my girlfriend loved it! Would advise anyone in the area looking for American or European wines in New Orleans.

Great selection of wines and a truly friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely be going back!

Great wine and spirits shop with well curated selection of interesting beverages. Great selection of sparkling and champagne, aperitifs and bitters. Also some nice chocolates and other goodies for hostess gifts, etc. All the delicious consumables. Helpful and friendly staff.

This message is to let people know, that Drew, treated me with respect, kindness, and professionalism beyond what I've received in the last 10 years. Although due to location issues, he and Keife & Co. could not provide the initial services sought, I received more...far more. If their services are ever in your considerations, do yourself a favor and call Drew. I am planning a trip for the express purpose of looking Drew in the eye, shaking his hand, and telling him thank-you. May God bless him and the the company. Dan T. Fort Worth Texas

Huge selection of awesome wines. And friendly experts who can help you select the perfect bottle (or case).

Great knowledgeable staff. I bought a nice single barrel Sazerac and hard to find coffee liquor.

If you're looking for a cozy and cute wine and liquor store in New Orleans this is it! Came here for a Bachelorette party and the gentlemen in the store were very knowledgeable on their liquors. They were friendly and helpful. Any questions we had they addressed them and made sure we were taken care of. Came here twice over the weekend and would come here again. They also had Buffalo Trace single batch too! Great prices as well. Second day they ran out of one of our bottles, but we tried a local brand they had instead.

Spectacular shop. Whenever I'm in town I stop in to look around and find something new. Might have the largest amaro collection I've seen. Truly excellent spirits selection. Also excellent wine selections. Well-chosen by true wine people. This might sound odd, but a lot of wine stores rely on their wholesalers and you can see it in the selections. The service also sets this shop apart. You can always talk to the owner who knows what he's selling. He'll tell you if he's tried it or not. He knows what he's doing. The shop is always welcoming and has that high level of service where it's there if you need it. You can walk in and grab a beverage or you can get an opinion on sparkling Alsatian wines. It's chill and welcoming.

This place is amazing! So many cool bottles you can't find anywhere els and everything is at a great price! My did will drive 4 hours from home just to come her and talk to the guys that work there. They are masters in there craft. Thank you guys. I will be back soon.

In town for the weekend so I googled liquor/whiskey around me and saw great reviews here. I popped in and took a long look around before asking some questions. The staff was very helpful. They had several store picks on hand as well as a great assortment of whiskey. I ended up with a Ragged Branch Rye store pick as well as a bottle of a New Orleans made Bywater Bourbon. I brought my wife back the next day and we got a bottle of her favorite wine. The deflection of cocktail mixers and syrups and all that was impressive as well. The staff is obviously very knowledgeable. We'll be coming back on future trips into the city.

Great selection and knowledgeable staff. Usually I go in with an open mind and end up with something I never knew I would enjoy so much.

I've been pleased with every bottle of wine or cognac I've purchased here. They even ordered me a special bottle of absinthe by request. Highly recommend, great selection for any budget

Very cool place with a great selection. I ended up buying a lot of bottles. The only thing I'd change is to add the $ sign to the plaques below the individual wines as it was not clear that the cost was the number given to each wine. I look forward to going back and buying more vino

Knowledgeable, friendly staff that's always willing to help. Fairly priced wines and liquors in a beautiful building.

beautifully decorated wine shop. Lovely to look at. big wooden ladders on rollers leaning against the racks, but my ladder climbing days are in the past TUFF to see the displayed vinos; some too high up or at ground level. enjoyed my shopping at Brady's down the road a piece much better

Beautiful shop bought couple or nice bourbons Great service Will definitely visit again when I'm in Nola

Staff was very welcoming and nice. They have specialty wines and liquors. We bought a Louisiana vodka recommended by the staff. The whole bottle is gone now ‍

Owners very accommodating. Created a gift basket last minute for family meme er who was visiting New Orleans. Beautifully done. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable and they happened to have all of the obscure things we were looking for, however they come off a tad elitist. I think there's room for increased kindness.

This place has the most impressive selection and knowledgeable staff. My questions about my new love of Amaro have been answered in depth with tastings involved. They also have cheese and other items too. I am a new regular here.

They have a great wine and spirits selection and some cheeses and meats. The vibe/staff are a bit pretentious but seem knowledgeable. They do have quite a few wines stored in the windows which seems weird, especially in NOLA where the sun gets very hot and is directly on the wine.

Pretty pretentious place and they definitely don't care about repeat business b/c I received poor customer satisfaction/service. I would suggest the other wine stores in the area that have better prices and a more diverse clientele.

I stopped in here while in town to pick up some bottles. The wine selection is varied and very well curated. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It's rare to find such great hospitality in retail. I also bought some tinned fish which paired great with the wine. This place really had everything you could be looking for in a wine shop.

Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff, highly recommend if you like bourbon.

Full Disclosure: This place has stolen my heart. (And my wallet) Having recently decided to amass a strong collection of spirits and other assorted drink elixirs. Keife & Co has become my new best friend. The good. The bad. The ugly. Even the hard-to-finds are all stocked here just waiting to be adopted. Taken home. Loved. Respected. Obsessed over. And shared (assuming you like your house guests). They also participate in the NOLA Spirit Exchange which means that they are one of 3 other spots in NOLA (Yes, Barrel Proof is another) that will purchase a barrel from the distillery and serve/sell specialty blended and bottled Bourbons for the most special of sipping and mixing occasions. I love comradery when it comes to booze.

Fairly small space so it can get crowded during their Thursday evening [free] tastings but at other times you'll always get great customer service and have access to a bunch of fantastic quality food & drink. The cheese & salumi selection is limited but great which will often bring me into the store for cocktail hour fare (Keife & Co. isn't nearly as large as St. James but all the cheeses are great, the service is MUCH better, and prices are listed so you know the cost before you buy) . While in the store you need to check out the wine which is a somewhat small but excellent selection and spirits which is one of the largest selections you'll find anywhere (including virtually every type of liquor plus tons of different bitters, etc.). Also of note, the matching food items are well suited for the store and go extremely well with your wine, cocktails, and cheese. This is not a discount shop so many of the items aren't necessarily cheap, but they do carry a very large selection of fantastic wines under $20 and everything in the store is well curated and incredibly high quality. Even a well versed oenophile won't be fully familiar with all the wines or regions on the shelves at Keife & Co. but ask for advice and you'll find some of the best values in town. I have yet to find a store anywhere in the country as well done as Keife & Co. This place is absolutely worth a trip and whether you're a novice or connoisseur of wine, spirits, or cheese you'll be treated with professionalism and will walk out with great stuff. Truly as good as it gets.

Keife & Co is the place to go for specialty spirits, bitters, wine, barware, gifts, meats, cheese and fancy imported things of great quality. Why would a visitor stop here? Maybe just to find some local bitters and check and see if there are any interesting bourbons that don't make it to the Northwest, that's why. Pecan-Chicory bitters - you're all mine now.

Every time I have any extra money, these guys get it. The selection is phenomenal, the staff is genius and always helpful, nice and excited to make recommendations.

If you're looking for whipped cream vodka or a case of Bud Light, this is not the place. For a cocktail and whiskey fanatic in New Orleans, Keife & Co is a dream come true. For years, I have relied on internet orders to get the stuff that just doesn't make it to NOLA area stores. This store has greatly assuaged that reliance. Not just that, but the owners are so awesome and invested in their products that they have introduced me to a dozen new products by recommendation or an outright taste test. It's not that their selection is exhaustive; the store is small (but not cramped) and space is limited. However, the soaring ceilings and library shelves make for a high-end presentation that's easy to browse. If I was more of a wine drinker, I might move next door, as their weekly tastings are very pleasant affairs. Overall, prices are fair to high, but I forgive this because of the outstanding service and selection. This store has my highest recommendation.

After two years of being a regular customer it is time to update my review. This place like the wine that is offered just gets better with age. The owners continue to not only supply a wide and reasonably priced selection of wine but also assist in finding out of the way wines you may want to try. The meat, bread, and other tasty treats are also great for a private get together with the love of your life or for a larger gathering. Reminder they are on vacation until August 25 when it is time to stock up for the cooler weather that will be approaching. And the Thursday wine tastings are the best bargain in town.

I was there a couple of days ago, on Monday. I was preparing a very special dinner for someone I really wanted to impress, and my heart sunk as I drove up and realized they were closed on Mondays. I saw movement inside so I took a chance and called. The response couldn't have been more gracious! They were closed but, when I explained my situation, I was not only invited in but also assisted with two very fine selections. The wine was as delicious as it was talked up to be and we enjoyed it so much, that we didn't even open the second varietal. I'll save that for next time. Bottom line, this experience was the epitome of hospitality and I will be forever grateful! Now I'm looking forward to returning when they are open, so that I can spend a day in there just looking around and learning about more wines!

John is amazing! He and Brady are beyond helpful and knowledgeable, and more than willing to share what they know with you. I highly recommend this place if you are trying to build your wine/liquor repertoire, or just aiming to expand your knowledge base in this vast field.

After visiting a number of other liquor stores around the city, I called Cure to find out where the place to visit is. They said hands down that it was Keife & Co. They were so right. The store is small in square footage but packed with choices. The floor to ceiling selection not only includes spirits but wine, beer & tasty European treats (cured meats, cheese, etc). I wanted to buy about 16 different bottles but was nervous to check them on my bag. Guess what, they ship. You need to call them but it's worth it. In the end, I bought 6 bottles including some bitters and have been enjoying the spoils ever since. Well worth the trip to make your own home craft cocktails.

Good selection but the customer service was lousy. It was only me, my sister and one other customer, the two younger boys working there were trying to help but they were not able to answer questions about a certain type of liquor. They kept going back to the older man working to get the answers for me- all he was doing was just slicing prosciutto so it would've been quite easy to help all of us out and just answer my questions directly while slicing but instead he kept ignoring me and my sister. We waited for a while for him to finish but still got no assistance.

The guys here are fantastic!! Knowledgeable to say the least. Friendly. Obviously they love what they do. The pack a lot of wonderful itmes into a small space. Finally attended one of their weekly tastings. Had a great time. Sipped some wine. Made a new friend or 5. Sadly, I was rushed out by my companion due to a dinner date and didn't get to purchase the wine I wanted. I've been hunting for Chinese Rose Wine for two and a half years. Recently I've recruited John in helping me. He's been wonderful but sadly the stuff keeps alluding us. Can't decide if it's a good thing they are within walking distance or a bad thing. Hummm...

What do you get for a birthday present for the girl who has everything? Tequila.... And when you meant to pick up a gift before, and realize last minute you can't make it to the party.... A good bottle of tequila! I called John at Keife and Co 15 minutes to them closing, not sure what I'd be picking up. I'd called a few liquor stores that supposedly were 1#) open and 2#) delivered with no success. Adding complications to the matter, I needed my booze delivered in Metarie, first thing the next morning. John effortlessly answered all my questions (as a whiskey drinker, my tequila knowledge is pretty much none), and suggested a bottle in the price range I was looking to spend. I was happy enough, just knowing he was steering me in the right direction and would actually deliver. He went above and beyond, offering up wrapping (with ribbons, ya'll!) and my personalized message. By the time I called at noon the next day to see what the status was, I was informed it was already delivered. I look forward to getting all my boozy goodness from Keife and Co in the future. (Can't wait to see your whiskey selection!)

I flew to NOLA from Boston and visited French Bar 75 and talked to mixologist Chris Hannah. I asked him if there was a merchant in NOLA where I could buy local spirits, bitters, and gifts to bring home. He turned me on to John at Keife and company. This merchant has hard to find spirits, bitters, honey, wine, cheese, and other gifts that you won't find anywhere else. I made my selections and I didn't want to pack them in my suitcase so I had the items shipped home. John exceeded my expectations as a merchant for his outstanding customer service. I would not hesitate to call from home again to order and have them ship to me or stop by when I'm in the area.

Is this the most Parisian shop in New Orleans? A tiny space, bottles stacked to the ceiling, piles of cheese stacked on crates of wine. Ahhh... Keife is an oasis of taste and beauty in an industrial corner of town. Great selection, gorgeous presentation, friendly (but not at all pushy) staff. Number one wine shop in NOLA.

John and Jim know their wines. You will not be dissapointed, great attention to their customers. Fantastic selection on all world wines. A must try in the warehouse district. there is always a vibrant energy in the shop.

Very cool little unique liquor store. Great customer service!!! Purchased some chocolate tower thing too a bit pricey which we didn't notice until later but worth it once we tasted it!

Great selection of wines at various price points. The cheese counter was fun to choose from and fresh baked bread. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The owners pain stakingly taste -tested everything in their store which is nice if you want to try something new -they have first hand experience! I was impressed with the prices and selection. They have something for every budget. At first I thought they may be high end only because of the location but it wasn't the case. Very friendly customer service. They also have cool accompaniments that you may not find elsewhere.

"What?! Are you kidding me with that?!" Chuck dubitably questioned of Roger. "You mean to tell me that this girl you went out with had intimacy-enhancing devices that plugged into wall outlets?! I just can't believe that!" "I kid you not, my friend!" Roger confidently replied, holding his hand up in front of his face. "Apparently, the days of safer, battery-operated equipment are long behind us. Women require higher voltage in unbelievable amounts! And I'm not talking about a standard electric plug, either! I'm talking about the heavy duty 4-gauge three pronged plugs! When she said she wanted to try something new that night and I saw the cord fall out of the dresser drawer and hit the floor with a thud, I thought she was going to proposition me to build her a new set of kitchen cabinets!" "Dear God!" shouted Chuck. "4-gauge wire?! What the hell was it, some sort of a cervical belt sander?!" "I'm actually not even sure what it was because I was quite literally stunned by the sheer amount of other AC powered contraptions she had in her possession!" Roger exclaimed. "She had such a huge stash, I felt like the Feds on a successful sting operation for contraband materials! There were OSHA violations all over the place! I mean, can you imagine putting something into an orifice of your body that's plugged into a 120V line?!" "That is astonishing!" Chuck said with a mouth agape look of shock. "Just astonishing!" "Oh, but I have to say that her nipple clamps were the worst of the bunch" Roger stated intently while leaning forward. "I swear to God, they were so powerful, she had an arc of electricity crackling between her nipples! It was like getting up close and personal with a Tesla Coil! How would you like to go to bed with a woman that required you to wear proper PPE?!" "Before you touch her, you have to discharge her like a capacitor with a Brinkley stick" said Chuck shaking his head. "It's just like Mission: Impossible." "Damn right!" cried Roger. "I refuse to stare death in the face each night as my girl is hard-wired to the wall! I think I even saw the lights in the house dim a few times!" Chuckling amongst themselves, Roger and Chuck continued their conversation while sampling breathtaking wines from Graham Beck vineyards of South Africa. Thursday evenings from 5 PM until 7 PM, Keife and Co. routinely hosts free unique tastings from wineries located in all regions of the world. This evening proved even more special with the appearance of Graham Beck's resident cellarmaster, Pieter Ferreira, who cordially poured glasses, signed bottles and detailed the intricacies in producing each of his epic creations. The event was capped off by additional samples of Keife & Co.'s artisan meats and cheeses; the standouts being the aged gouda and prosciutto. Often, the nearby restaurant, Tivoli & Lee, hand-delivers their own kitchen creations which are also shared during the tastings. The gatherings are always jovial, the owners so kind and informative and the warm ambiance provides a rare experience to wine connoisseurs of beautiful New Orleans. As the tasting event came to a close and Roger was completing his purchase of a vintage Graham Beck Rose', Chuck queried him. "Doesn't it suck when you're with someone that you slowly discover over time possesses weird physical features?" "What the hell are you talking about?" asked Roger. "You mean, you find your girl has hair in places monkeys don't or she has huge, rough manly hands like she's been laying bricks and mortar all day long? I think the unibrow would also be pretty bad." "Yeah, that or a lazy eye" said Chuck. "A lazy eye?" laughed Roger. "I'm serious, man!" cried Chuck. "I was with a girl once that had eyes that rolled around in her head independently just like a fish! I'd put something in front of her and she'd tip her head to the side to look at it like a bird! I didn't know what to do and I was freaked out every time I looked at her because I felt like she could see me from like, any angle, like a chameleon at the pet store!" "How about the shaping underwear they sell on those late night infomercials that try to conceal ghastly butt flab?" Roger retorted. "I guess they are supposed to work like a rolling pin, dispersing even doses of fat across the vast plains. Once the underwear comes off, their butt looks like a huge turtle shell on their back! Makes one want to scream '"Heroes in a half shell!" "Turtle Power!" shouted Chuck. EL FINAL

Keife & Co. are off to an auspicious start. What the store may lack in size (it's only a little bigger than my living room/dining room area) it makes up in quality. The owners are careful to only stock quality items and their love of wine and spirits shows without coming off as being snobby. There's also a small meat and cheese counter, because a bottle of wine is not complete without them. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and will help you find just what you're looking for even if you don't know yourself.

Amazing guys who run/own Keife & Co. I tend to get headaches when drinking - especially with red wine - and they've always recommended wines that keep the headaches down. It's wonderful! Their selection is top notch and amazing, too.

Unbelievably rude! There are so many places to buy wine, why be treated badly? Avoid!!!

I've never been to New Orleans but my sister and her husband were celebrating an anniversary at Marriott courtyard near by The owner of this place was so wonderful and helpful to send over a great bag of goodies free delivery to their hotel . It was a thoughtful selection of wine, charcuterie and cheeses. Amazing!

Doubt there's a more knowledgeable staff anywhere else in the city and they are super helpful w/o being condescending. I'm of the "don't know much about wine but I know what I like" ilk and they always help steer me to drinkable reasonably priced bottles. Their spirits section is well stocked too. Parking's fairly accessible as well for the CBD. All in all no better place to serve your entertaining needs.

Awesome. So great to find a store that sells liqueurs and liqours that appeal to those who are looking to find something beyond the typical "top shelf" of New Orleans bar rooms. I took home a bottle of pine nut liqueur, some Swedish punch (which is just about the tastiest of all Viking drinks) and some craft bitters. The staff was friendly and excited to let me taste different bitters and invited to to their tasting nights. In a city filled with booze, it's nice to finally have a liquor store. They also sell cheese and meats.

Your "Party-in-Your-Hotel-Room" HQ while in New Orleans!!! This shop is a true gem for provisioning a party for even your snootiest gourmand friends! GREAT wine & booze selection @ very competitive prices; OUTSTANDING charcuterie, bread & cheese, complemented with a nice selection of accessories, gifts and stocking-stuffers. Came out with a sackful of bourbon, wine, prosciutto, cheese and crackers....Knowledgeable and friendly staff & management....CLASS ACT!!!

I wish I was local so I could check the place out in person But, I did call and pick up some coffee bitters you can't get here in CA, look forward to future shopping opportunities once they get their website fully developed. Best of luck guys!
