Uber Eats is the best all-round alcohol delivery app for most US users. When Uber shut Drizly down in March 2024, it folded alcohol ordering into Uber Eats, so users get beer, wine, and spirits from local liquor and grocery stores, often in under an hour, in the same app they already use for takeout. That integration is the main reason to start here.
The limits are variability. Delivery fees, service fees, and minimums vary by store and location, coverage depends on state alcohol law, and times vary by market. Uber Eats fits best for everyday alcohol orders in cities where it operates, with the app most users already have installed.
What we like- Absorbed Drizly's alcohol delivery when Uber shut Drizly in March 2024
- Beer, wine, and spirits from local stores
- Often under an hour
Watch out for- Fees and minimums vary by store and location
- Coverage depends on state law
- Delivery times vary by market

DoorDash suits users who want a large driver network plus fast DashMart fulfillment. Its alcohol delivery covers local liquor stores and DashMart micro-fulfillment centers, with median urban delivery times reported around 28 minutes for DashMart alcohol orders in one 2026 analysis. For a user who already orders food through DoorDash, adding alcohol to the same app is convenient.
The trade is fees and coverage. Delivery and service fees vary by store and order, alcohol availability varies by state law, and peak-hour times can stretch. DoorDash fits best for all-round delivery where speed and store choice both matter.
What we like- Large driver network
- DashMart micro-fulfillment for fast alcohol delivery
- Alcohol from local stores and DashMart
Watch out for- Fees vary by store and order
- Alcohol availability varies by state
- Peak-hour times can stretch
Starting priceSee website
Free planNo
Instacart suits grocery-plus-alcohol orders, where wine or beer rides along with the weekly shop. Its large shopper network covers many retailers, its scheduled delivery suits planned orders, and its alcohol selection spans local liquor stores and grocery chains that permit alcohol delivery. For a household that already uses Instacart, adding alcohol avoids a second app and a second delivery fee.
The limits are verification and retailer coverage. Alcohol requires a separate age-verification step after pickup that adds minutes, and coverage is limited to retailers that stock alcohol and permit Instacart pickup, excluding many boutique wine shops. Instacart fits best for combined grocery and alcohol orders in covered areas.
What we like- Groceries and alcohol in one order
- Large shopper network
- Scheduled delivery for planned orders
Watch out for- Alcohol requires a separate age-verification step that adds minutes
- Limited to retailers that stock alcohol and permit Instacart pickup
- Fees vary

Gopuff is the fastest alcohol delivery option where it operates. Its own micro-fulfillment centers, rather than third-party stores, give delivery in minutes in dense cities, with median urban times reported around 28 to 41 minutes in 2026 analyses. Its flat delivery fee is waived on orders over $35 in some guides, and its late-night hours suit evening orders.
The trade is coverage and selection. Gopuff only operates in markets with micro-fulfillment centers, around 70 US cities, and some covered zip codes are beer-only, with no wine or spirits. Gopuff fits best for fast orders in dense cities where it operates.
What we like- Own warehouses give delivery in minutes in dense cities
- Flat delivery fee waived on orders over $35 in some guides
- Late-night availability
Watch out for- Only operates in markets with micro-fulfillment centers, around 70 US cities
- No wine or spirits in some covered zip codes
- Selection is narrower than Total Wine

Minibar Delivery suits users who want an alcohol specialist rather than a general delivery app. Its alcohol-only focus gives better tasting notes, gift orders, and bottle discovery than a grocery app, its pre-staged speed packs for top sellers keep fulfillment consistent, and its direct retailer licensing covers many states without aggregator middlemen. For a wine buyer or a gift order, that focus matters.
The limits are footprint and fees. Minibar operates in around 23 metro areas, strongest in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, with weak or no presence in much of the Midwest and Southwest, and its delivery fee is waived only on orders over $60 in some guides. Minibar fits best for alcohol-focused orders in its covered metros.
What we like- Alcohol-only focus with tasting notes and gift orders
- Pre-staged speed packs for top sellers
- Direct retailer licensing in many states
Watch out for- Smallest geographic footprint, around 23 metro areas
- Slower median times than Gopuff in some guides
- Delivery fee waived only on orders over $60 in some guides

Saucey suits fast alcohol delivery in major metropolitan areas. Now part of Target, it uses Target-owned fulfillment hubs in cities such as Los Angeles and Dallas to cut last-mile distance, with median urban times reported around 34 to 37 minutes in 2026 analyses. For a user in a covered metro who wants a specific bottle quickly, Saucey is a strong pick.
The trade is coverage and stock. Its coverage is concentrated in major metros, and stockouts spike after peak hours in some guides as popular bottles sell out. Saucey fits best for metro users who want fast, specific-bottle delivery.
What we like- Fast delivery in major metros
- Target-owned fulfillment hubs in some cities
- Good for specific bottles and cocktail needs
Watch out for- Coverage concentrated in major metros
- Stockouts spike after peak hours in some guides
- Fees vary by market

7NOW suits small, fast orders where convenience matters more than selection. Its 7-Eleven stores give late-night beer, snacks, and essentials in one quick delivery, which suits a small gathering or a late-night restock. For a user near a 7-Eleven, its speed and simplicity beat a full liquor store order.
The limits are selection and coverage. Its alcohol selection is convenience-store depth, not a liquor store's range, alcohol availability varies by state and store, and delivery is limited to 7-Eleven coverage areas. 7NOW fits best for small convenience orders, not for wine discovery or large parties.
What we like- Convenience store speed for beer, snacks, and essentials
- Late-night hours
- Simple ordering for small orders
Watch out for- Selection is convenience-store depth, not a liquor store
- Alcohol availability varies by state and store
- Delivery areas are limited to 7-Eleven coverage

Total Wine suits large and planned orders where selection matters more than speed. Its own inventory and logistics give the largest alcohol selection in this list, with no stock uncertainty from third-party stores, and its scheduled delivery suits parties and events planned days ahead. For a host buying for a crowd, Total Wine's range beats every app here.
The trade is speed and minimums. Its median delivery is slower than Gopuff's or DoorDash's in some guides, its minimum order is around $35 in some guides, and same-day dispatch may not start before 10 a.m. Total Wine fits best for large, planned orders where selection is the priority.
What we like- Largest alcohol selection in this list
- Own inventory means no stock uncertainty
- Good for large and planned orders
Watch out for- Slower median delivery than Gopuff or DoorDash in some guides
- Minimum order around $35 in some guides
- No same-day dispatch before 10 a.m. in some guides
How we chose
We compared these apps on speed, selection, coverage, fees, and alcohol-specific features, since alcohol delivery differs from food delivery in law, verification, and retailer licensing. Pricing figures are marked as See website where a current vendor figure could not be verified, since delivery fees, service fees, and minimums change often and vary by store and location. We did not claim hands-on testing. Instead we weighed public documentation, pricing pages, and user reviews, plus the practical difference between a store-based model and a warehouse model.
What to check before you pick
Start with your address. Coverage changes often, so type in your address before getting excited: the best service in one town may not operate in the next, and alcohol rules change by state, county, and even dry jurisdictions. Next, check the total at checkout before committing, since the bottle price alone rarely tells the full story once delivery, service fees, and minimums are added. Finally, check delivery windows: Gopuff and Saucey suit urgent orders, while Total Wine and Instacart suit planned orders.
Age verification and responsible ordering
You must be 21 or older to order and receive alcohol in the United States, and every app checks a valid ID showing you are 21 or older at the door. The account holder must be present, of legal drinking age, and sober enough to receive the order: drivers are required to refuse deliveries to underage or already intoxicated recipients. Never order alcohol for someone who is underage or intoxicated, and please drink responsibly. State laws vary on delivery hours, Sunday sales, and spirits versus beer and wine, so confirm local rules if an order is refused.
Drizly is gone: do not rely on old guides
Drizly shut down in March 2024 after Uber bought it in 2021, and its alcohol delivery moved into Uber Eats. If you still have the old Drizly app, it will not take orders, and older guides that list Drizly as a top pick are out of date. Start with Uber Eats, DoorDash, or a specialist such as Minibar instead.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alcohol delivery app in the US?
Uber Eats and DoorDash are the best all-round picks, since they deliver from local liquor stores and you may already have the app installed. Gopuff is fastest where it operates, Minibar is best for alcohol-only orders, and Total Wine is best for large selections.
Is Drizly still around?
No. Uber shut Drizly down in March 2024 and folded alcohol delivery into Uber Eats. If you still have the old Drizly app, it will not take orders.
Do I need to be 21 to order alcohol delivery?
Yes. You must be 21 or older to order and receive alcohol in the United States, with a valid ID checked at the door. The account holder must be present and sober enough to receive the order, or the driver must refuse delivery.
Which alcohol delivery app is fastest?

Can I order alcohol delivery in every state?

Are delivery fees the same across apps?
No. Delivery fees, service fees, and minimums vary by app, store, and location, and change often. Check the total at checkout before committing, and compare membership options such as Instacart Plus where they waive service fees.
