What a really awesome find in El Sobrante! The name only encompasses one of its attributes a variety of beer and wine with a bar in the back! I discovered the front is also an area for Indian groceries, lunch (Punjabi Kitchen Tues Thur 11a 3p), middle of the store sells traditional Indian clothes/fabric, etc. I've been looking for a place like this to get legit ingredients to make authentic Indian recipes my next food conquest was Dal Makhini and I was able to find everything I needed and then some! There is a ton of decently priced beans, spices, some fresh produce, imported Indian products even the spicy pickled mango my partner loves! Looks like the place is family owned and the lady work...
We used to visit this restaurant regularly before COVID but hadn’t been back in quite some time. It used to be a fantastic place with a great selection of beers, especially at the small bar in the back. I finally returned while I was at the vet next door and noticed that the pandemic seems to have really affected them. The freezer was only half full compared to how it was before COVID, and there were even beers that were three years old! I genuinely hope the community rallies around this place to help them recover. I did take away a star for the aged beer since no establishment should be selling beer that old, but the owner is a really good guy. Once they refresh their selection and stock th...
Excellent food, especially for catering. We ordered through Bottles for my sister's wedding last year after a friend's recommendation. As a test run, we ordered a variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes, including paneer tikka masala, saag, ctm, biriyani, and dal. Also tried a variety of fried appetizers like samosas and pakoras. The naan is so good when fresh, but just as good toasted the next day. We ended up ordering mostly veg food for that day, but have been going back for the biryani and naan since. The owner, Kamal, is accommodating and patient when it comes to making large orders and last minute changes to the order. This is definitely more than just a grocery store/beer shop...
Called in an order for a 30pc Dark chicken that took longer than 10 minutes. Make sure you pay attention to how much they charge you too. DALJIT UPPAL will literally try to play you and over charge you. Shady ass business. They need some health inspection in there too cause it looked hella dirty in there. Dont even wanna eat the chicken anymore. Definitely going to call Contra Contra Costa County Health Department after this.

Not much to add to others. Good vibes, craft beer, good northern India and Madras curry cooking . Captures ambience of El Sobrante..the Leftovers in Spanish... with fluorescent lights and bag of rice on end of bench. But cheerful with good service which the neighborhood is less reliable for. As good neighbors we will return and we offer our gratitude.
I heard from friends in the area that Bottles serves excellent Indian food. They recommended we try the butter chicken and baingan bharta, and both dishes were fantastic. To make it even better, they also offered full-size naan. I absolutely love this place and have officially designated it as my go-to Indian restaurant, BB.

Absolutely delicious food and an excellent selection of beers. The staff is friendly, and the relaxed atmosphere in the back makes it a great spot. We’ll definitely be returning multiple times!
My favorite spot! Good beer selection and great food. The butter chicken with the veggie samosas are delicious. Don't forget a mango lassi.
