Drizly is an online alcohol delivery platform that connects consumers with local liquor stores for on-demand delivery of beer, wine, and spirits. Founded in 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts, the company operates as a marketplace that partners with thousands of retail liquor stores across hundreds of cities in the United States and Canada. Drizly was acquired by Uber in 2021 and has since been integrated into the Uber and Uber Eats platforms.
The platform allows customers to browse a vast selection of wines, spirits, beer, and mixers available from local partner stores, with delivery typically arriving within 60 minutes. Drizly's inventory varies by location based on what is available at nearby partner retailers, but the platform typically offers thousands of products spanning every major spirits category, wine region, and beer style. The app and website feature product descriptions, ratings, and price comparisons across participating stores.
Drizly has played a significant role in modernizing the alcohol retail industry, which has historically been slow to adopt e-commerce due to complex state-by-state regulatory requirements. The platform handles compliance with local alcohol delivery laws and age verification, making it easier for both consumers and retailers to participate in legal online alcohol sales. Drizly also offers gift delivery, scheduled delivery, and curated product recommendations.
