Richmond Bottle Shop (IGA)

$-$$

The Richmond Bottle Shop opened in 2014 as an addition to Aramingo Avenue’s IGA supermarket, making it — at least in manager Adam Sparkevicius’ estimation — the first city’s first grocery store to sell wine and the second to sell beer. Since then, the shop has doubled in size, offering 800 beers, eight taps, and 300 wines (selected with input from the Wine School of Philadelphia) in 2,500 square feet of space. The result is a store that offers something for everybody, from 12-packs of Bud to the latest craft brews.
