5 Best Alcohol Delivery Apps

The internet has revolutionised everything in our lives. Things that would have required us to go out for the afternoon can now conveniently be ordered to our very doorstep (often within 24 hours, or sometimes even quicker!) When we combine this with the mobility of modern mobile phones, which are more or less handheld computers, we have a no-nonsense, touch of-a-button system that goes with us everywhere.

Whether you want a catch a taxi, buy your food for the week or order a full working home cinema system, app developers have found their niche and are pushing convenience and ease of purchase.

Purchasing alcohol is no exception. By downloading an app and making a selection on your screen, you can order enough alcohol to sink a battleship. Or perhaps just one really nice bottle of wine?

Most people like the occasional drink (or two) and as a result companies have seen that there is a huge market for people who want to buy alcohol. As a result, there are literally hundreds of apps out there offering similar services. But which one is the best? We would suggest the one that offers you the products you want, at a reasonable price, with reasonable delivery times, oh and don’t forget the app should be easy to use too!

Pricing can be a minor issue, expect to pay a little extra as there is an added ‘convenience fee’, after all somebody has to pay the driver! But that said, if you register your details (which you’ll have to in order to get delivery) it is standard practice to be given an introductory offer. If you are smart about it, you might register with a few apps and enjoy a brief time of discounted delivery from several. We’ve listed several of the current discount codes below.

Which app is the best to use? Well as we said there are a lot to choose from. We have tested these services to bring you our honest opinion of the best on demand alcohol delivery apps in the US today. Some are also available in Canada.

Furthermore if you are sat there in your PJ’s and really, really don’t want to go out, in the words of Saucey’s own marketing team “staying in just got a whole lot better” as they offer a few extras that really make using this app worthwhile.

Aside from vast quantities of alcohol Saucey offer delivery of other things for the perfect naughty treat.

3. Minibar

What they offer: On-Demand Alcohol Delivery: Order for now, or schedule for later.

Whilst it has a catchy name minibar is not literal, in that you can’t have your drinks the same day. But that what you trade in same hour convenience you more than make up for in price. Minibar offers quite a few really good deals, and by ‘good’ we mean ‘cheap’. With regards to the selection of drinks available there are the old favourites such as beers and wines, but with an additional twist.

Because this is effectively a mail order service you may find the odd rare treat hiding amongst the stacks of bottles. For specialist liquors, limited edition drinks and things maybe not available in your local store, this app may very well provide the perfect solution.

Unlike the other options this includes choosing from a selection of over 3000+ items and counting. Should you desire beer, wine, liquor, snack, household items, it’s all a few clicks away.

Well named we say! 7NOW offer many similar services to the previous apps, however much more as alcohol represents a fraction of their overall offering. Best of all 7NOW even boasts that they can have your delivery at your door within 30 minutes. The choice of drinks you are provided with will be numerous, but bear in mind as a local same day service there can be limitations and substitutes provided depending on the stock at your nearest participating store.

As mentioned, 7NOW don’t only offer drinks either. If you have decided you have other needs they also supply everything in store making convenience a top priority. The price structure due to their size is competitive, it is not the most expensive alcohol delivery app out there and offers a really decent compromise between speed, selection and cost. Did we mention, they even have a 24/7 service.

5. Doordash

What they do: Restaurant Eats & Drinks To Go

Doordash didn’t begin life as an alcohol delivery service, but this is a good thing as they have had chance to refine their services, and app UI, whilst offering a wide variety of products. Doordash do not source their alcohol from stores only, they utilise what is around you to give you the largest possible choice in your area. They use Pubs, bars, supermarkets, stores and restaurants. So, if you are looking for something smooth and refined to accompany your dinner there’s a good chance that you will be in luck.

As we’ve alluded to Doordash is more than an alcohol delivery service. If you are having one of those days where you simply want convenience then this app holds serious potential. Not only are the drinks dealt with, but potentially the food too. While ordering a bottle of your favourite plonk you can also place an order for a tasty dinner. Whether you want fast food or something lovingly prepared by a local chef, you will be able to find the perfect accompaniment.

Conclusion

The app you choose on the day should be based on your requirements. Sometimes you just want to order alcohol with an app and are not too bothered about specifics. Sometimes you may want something a little more special or in a larger quantity. And other times you may want a range of things that don’t only include just alcohol, this can be something as all encompassing as food, or as we discovered whilst reviewing each of these apps, something as simple as a few bottles of mixer to go with whatever ‘naughty water’ you have picked.

Time available is also something that you will have to consider when choosing the best alcohol delivery app. If you have time on your hands and just want to remove one thing from your ‘to do’ list, then choosing an app that is a mail order service should suffice (and maybe help keep costs low too). Alternatively, if you are on the way back from the bar or just haven’t managed to find time in your day to get what you need, (you were planning a party and didn’t find time to get alcohol, what were you thinking?), then you will more than likely need a service that can potentially deliver within minutes.

Whichever app you choose, pick one that suits your needs, budget and purpose. Enjoy your drinks.
