If you’re looking for a grab-and-go spot on Lower Greenville Avenue, there’s no better place than the Bottle Shop. With more than 300 bottles and cans available for building your own six-pack and the ability to fill growlers (to-go jugs) from one of the bar’s 22 taps, this store blows almost every retail selection in that area out of the water. The service could be better, so you may want to take a beer-obsessed friend. Since it’s located in the middle of the now-bustling Lower Greenville neighborhood, the Bottle Shop is an excellent place to meet for happy hour before choosing where to eat dinner. Two nights a week you’ll find free food at the bar — on Mondays it’s pizza and on Thursdays it’s tacos.

Recommended: On Tuesday nights, the Bottle Shop hosts Beer College. For $35, two people get a lesson in beer and five tastings each. Check the website for the weekly subjects.
