Overview

Strolling down Exhibition St in the heart of Melbourne, it’s hard to miss The Bottle-O Exhibition St & Tatts Lotto. It’s that place with the big sign that sometimes catches your eye while you’re on a hunt for a last-minute drink or that lucky lottery ticket.

I popped in the other day, partly because I needed a decent bottle of wine and partly because I’m always up for a little chat. The vibe inside? Pretty laid-back. It feels like a neighborhood spot where everyone knows each other, but at the same time, it’s welcoming enough for newcomers like me.

Now, I did my homework before visiting. The Bottle-O has a mixed bag of reviews — mostly positive, but you know how it is; some people just have bad days. A few mentioned the prices were a tad steep. But honestly, I found a few good specials that made me raise an eyebrow in surprise. The selection of wines and spirits was decent enough to keep me interested. I snagged a nice red and had a little banter with one of the staff who seemed like a true enthusiast. You can’t beat that!

And hey, if you’re into the lottery, this might just be a lucky stop for you. They sold a Division 1 ticket back in 2012, which could be taken as a sign. Who wouldn’t want a piece of that luck?

Now, let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. Some folks have had a rough time with customer service. But on my visit, the friendly staff made up for it. Just don’t expect anything too fancy. This isn’t a high-end boutique; it’s a good old bottle shop.

Opening hours are pretty accommodating, too. If you need to swing by after work, they’re open late several days of the week, which is a lifesaver for all of us nine-to-fivers.

So, bottom line? The Bottle-O is simple but effective. It has its quirks, but where else can you grab your weekend wine and, perhaps, some lottery dreams in one go? It’s worth checking out.
