Bochka

Head down to Skirving Street in Shawlands and you'll find yourself in a proper spirit lover's playground. Bochka is where the folk behind Curious Liquids have set up shop—think carefully curated bottles rather than supermarket shelf-filler. The kind of place where the person behind the counter actually knows their stuff and won't try to sell you nonsense. Whether you're after natural wines that taste like something, Scottish craft gins that don't all taste the same, or random bottles from independent distillers you've never heard of, this is your spot. It's become a wee hub for people who care about what they're drinking.
