Drinkers in San Antonio and Houston can skip the trip to the liquor store with a new mobile delivery app making its debut in both cities Thursday.

Boston-based Drizly will facilitate deliveries of beer, wine and liquor from six San Antonio retailers — Gabriel’s Liquor & Wine, Seazar’s Fine Wine & Spirits, Don’s & Ben’s Liquor, Live Oak Wine & Spirits, J&G Liquor and Five Palms Liquors — and four in the Houston area: Goody Goody Liquor, Al’s Liquor, Posh Liquor, Premier Fine Wine & Spirits and Village Liquor.

Through the company’s mobile app or website, customers can compare prices on bottles of tequila or tempranillo among retailers, pick the store with the lower price, and have their order brought to their doorstep for a $5 delivery fee by drivers employed by the retailers.

Malcolm Faulds, Drizly senior vice president of marketing, said the app caters to casual drinkers, craft beer and liquor enthusiasts scouring retailers for a specific brand, and party planners looking to purchase large quantities for office cocktail parties.

The intent of the app, Faulds said, is to give customers more transparency on alcohol prices among beer and liquor stores.

“You’re not just buying from one store,” Faulds said. “You’re not limited to just the inventory of that store and the prices that they want to charge you.”

Drizly, which has raised $35 million since it launched in 2013, currently operates in 40 cities in the U.S. and Canada, including Austin and Dallas.

The Boston company joins TopShelf and Minibar Delivery, two other alcohol-focused delivery apps already operating in San Antonio and Houston. Grocery delivery app Instacart fulfills alcohol orders from Total Wine & More and Spec's Wine, Spirits and Finer Foods.
