Steve's Cool Booze

Brothers Stephen and Gerald Casimatis have run this liquor shop since the mid-1980s, moving in 2023 from its long-time Kingsford site to a new shopfront on Anzac Parade in Maroubra. Stephen handles the craft beer side personally, chasing down limited releases and imports from Belgium, the US, New Zealand and Japan alongside Sydney names like Batch, Young Henrys and Riverside — all imported rather than brewed under licence, which matters to the regulars. A four-tap growler station lets drinkers fill up on whatever's currently in the kegs rather than settle for what's bottled. The shop has partnered with Fleet St Merchants to widen its wine and spirits range without losing the family-run feel that's kept customers coming back across two locations and four decades. Open seven days, with ample parking out front.
