Aficionado’s Brickell

Great place I normally smoke Victor Calvo Cigars but is not available wish they carry it I have to get it across town and I leave a block away.

Great spot to shop, and delivery exceptional!

Visiting the family in South Florida and decided to try a local spot that my friends recommended. Much to my surprise this isn’t your standard bar. Beer, liquor, wine, cigars, chill people. This place had a great vibe. They got a great selection of drinks to choose from and I can only imagine coming here hundreds of times before I get even close to trying everything. I was served by a bartender named Esmeralda and let me tell you, besides the fact that her name is freakin awesome, (I mean c’mon that’s a hell of an exotic name right?) this gorgeous bombshell can make a bomb ass drink! I told her to mix me whatever her favorite drink was that night and she whipped up something she called the «Blackberry Bliss.» Yeah yeah I dig fruity drinks too get over it, this thing was straight fire. I’ve seen a few other reviews on this page mention Esmeralda and now I can easily understand why. She was really chill, had great recommendations, and was just a pleasure to deal with. And she looks stunning. Don’t just take my word for it, you’ll see! I hope to see her again if I ever go back down there. She wasn’t the only employee there that was awesome either. I also met a gentleman by the name of Steve and man, this dude knows his liquor! I asked his opinion on what kind of bourbon he recommended and he went straight into expert mode. Whether you want a scotch, a rye, or whatever have you, this dude knows his whiskeys. You’ll never go wrong with anything he recommends. All in all, Aficionado’s is an amazing spot to hang out at. Their selection is huge and their staff is top notch! If I ever find myself back in South Florida, I am definitely hitting this place up again.

Big fan of this place. It’s much better now that it’s run by the younger guys than when it was run by the older, shorter guy (I think he was the owner). He was kind of aloof and seemed like an all around dick. The young guys are super friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable for Brickell.

This is a great little liquor store/​cigar shop/​speakeasy! Located in Brickell, but very well priced for the area. The resident mixologist, Esmeralda, is great! She offered some nice selections and was extremely helpful. This will definitely be a regular spot!

The manager was great. Honestly the biggest reason I’m writing this review is to tell people the prices are great and they deliver. Yes. Deliver until 10pm with a $ 4 charge. It can’t get much better here in Miami. Great selection, even some Miami exclusives. And the owner said he just opened up a bar that is really coming up. Located in a beautiful area of Brickell. Did I mention they have some great cigars. Check it out.

I could have used PostMates to desperately deliver a bottle of tequila, but I went with Aficionado’s in-​house delivery service instead. It was extremely easy, you can do everything online so you don’t have to guess or figure out whats available. They have a good range of options and prices. My choice of poison was unfortunately out, so they offered me an upgrade for the same price — SCORE! (which arrived in 30 mins). I have also been to their Speakeasy which was an absolute delight! fantastic cocktails complimented by amazing service — very low key. All in all– A+

Ordered a few bottles of wine for delivery on a Friday night. Received my order within 45 mins. The fact that they deliver is genius. Love this place.

Wow! I really like the addition of Aficionado in Brickell. They have an incredible selection organized in a very inviting layout which guarantees your purchase.
I’ve never been here when it’s crowded (maybe it’s because it recently opened) so the cashier has been very attentive in all occasions.
I would say the prices are inflated by 15−20% compared to liquor stores outside of Brickell but that’s probably because Brickell is just pricier. I honestly love the convenience of not driving anywhere but if you are driving, you may find street parking since Aficionado is not around Mary Brickell Village.
I also have to mention, Aficionado DELIVERS — what?!

Best liquor store in Brickell! It’s only 3 blocks from my place and they are the best! They deliver, rewards program is offered.

I can some up this review in very few words… wine delivered to your door step. need I say more? Ok… the selection is also worthy of mentioning from Italian Amarone to California’s finest. If you live in Brickell, check it out… especially if you don’t feel like leaving home!

Great place in Brickell. They deliver, you can order online now, and their wine selection is the best I’ve seen in a long time.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and are happy to assist you and answer your questions.
Their hours are convenient!!! As is their location!

Hands down the best liquor store in brickell. Their wine selection is great and so are their prices. Bruno is a very nice guy and will recommend you some great wines!

One word: DELIVERY! I ordered liquor from them when I was pressed for time for a party at my apartment. The guy who helped me over the phone was super helpful and really nice. The liquor arrived at my house in no time, love this place!

Poor selection of both wine and cigar but clean, nice looking. The guy who works there is usually nice and welcoming. Tough to find parking to pick up a quick bottle/​smoke. Find Absolute Cigars also in brickell for the best cigars in south Miami (they don’t carry alcohol tho).

I am rating this place 5 stars for the quality of wines and liquor! Other liquor stores in the area have overrated prices and unprofessional looking staff. At Aficionado’s the prices are not over rated and the staff is professional and knowledgeable. I feel comfortable shopping here. They also have the latest and greatest. The store is ALWAYS clean, staff friendly, and reasonably priced. The selection is impressive. If, you are a wine, scotch, or cigar connoisseur I highly recommend making a visit. Also, there are tastings on a regular basis. If you sign up on their email list you can be invited!

stopped by last night with my girlfriend to pick something up. great management. bruno’s super nice. always has what i need. super convenient brickell location and great prices as well.

This is the best wine shop in Miami! Amazing selection of boutique wines, spirits, and craft beer along with great recommendations from the owner himself! If there is a specific wine that I want and he doesn’t carry it, he finds it and brings it in for me! I love this place!!!

UH OH! this is a dangerous business to have soooo close by! this liquor (& cigar) store, a little hidden gem just off Brickell, has changed names and management several times but something tells me that this time things are different!
the ownership/​management are all so friendly, well-​informed on their stock (and their craft) and so accommodating & helpful — they’ll take the time to talk to you, make recommendations, even stock certain items if the demand is there and you request it.
I’m thrilled that they are actually putting effort into making the business a success with their EXTREMELY knowledgeable staff, their tastings every other week (varying from wine to tequila to vodka), and promoting themselves with an email mailing list.
not only do they have an surprisingly decent and varied selection of liquor, beer, and wine available in the store — surprisingly good considering the smaller size of the store — but they also have very reasonable prices as well as a good sized cigar selection (& cigarettes too).
there is also outdoor seating, so should you wanna stay and hang out a while, you could… and I’ll tell you (between the beverages, the cigars, and the staff), you just might want to!
