Thirsty Camel

Thirsty Camel presents itself as being this fun-​loving bottleshop that takes it out and mixes it up. Its marketing material says that «we have fun […] because, let’s face it, the bottleshop is probably your last stop before a good time.» This is true, as far as it goes, but I think BWS is still going to be my last stop as far as bottleshops are concerned. The times that follow a visit to Thirsty Camel are never quite as good as they could be.
This is because their range strikes me as disappointingly dull. In their quest to offer decent prices, they offer quite a few low-​grade wines. The service at North Beach isn’t a bad as it appears to be at Joondalup, but the sense of disappointment one feels upon leaving is still there. With some many other options around, you’d be mad not to take one of them.
