The Curated, Smarter-Sipping Bottle Shop to Open Second Location in LA

Sipsy Opens Second Los Angeles Store on Melrose as a Discovery-Driven Spirits Destination

Opening in mid-September, Sipsy brings an expanded, additive-free selection of tequila, mezcal, and small-batch spirits—anchored by a tasting bar and educational tasting events—to the heart of Hollywood.

Los Angeles, CA — August 24, 2026 – Sipsy, the woman-founded retailer reimagining how people discover better-for-you alcohol, will open its second Los Angeles location in September at 6801 Melrose Ave., the former home of beloved natural wine shop Domaine LA. The 2,500-square-foot store, Sipsy Melrose, extends the brand’s curated, discovery-first approach with a deeper selection of additive-free tequila, mezcal, small-batch spirits, and natural wines, anchored by an in-store tasting bar and a rotating calendar of educational tasting events.

“We’re not a corner store, and we’re not a big-box BevMo or Total Wine,” said Hala Shamas, Founder and CEO of Sipsy. “It’s very curated, and it feels open, easy to navigate, and easy to discover new products. Melrose lets us take that experience further—an expanded spirits selection, a tasting bar, and events where people can actually taste and learn what makes additive-free tequila and small-batch wines and spirits better.”

At the center of Sipsy Melrose is an expanded spirits program built around additive-free tequila and mezcal, and small-batch, independent producers—categories Sipsy has championed since its 2019 launch. The curated selection is designed for discovery rather than volume, giving guests an approachable way to find bottles they won’t see on big-box shelves. A dedicated tasting bar anchors the experience, where customers can sample spirits, wine, and beer, ask questions, and learn what sets cleaner, additive-free options apart.

Beyond the shelves, Sipsy Melrose will host a regular schedule of educational tasting events spotlighting additive-free tequila and mezcal, natural wine, small-batch spirits, and the makers behind them. The programming reflects Sipsy’s belief that buying a bottle should be an experience—one rooted in discovery, education, and support for independent and local producers.

The Melrose location revives a space long associated with thoughtful curation. For years, 6801 Melrose Ave. was home to Domaine LA, one of the city’s most respected natural wine shops. Sipsy Melrose continues that spirit of careful selection in the heart of Hollywood, welcoming both longtime neighbors and new customers.

Sipsy Melrose is the company’s second Los Angeles storefront, joining its East Hollywood flagship at 4003 Beverly Blvd. The opening caps a period of rapid growth for the woman-founded retailer, which was recently named No. 153 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, with 2,088% three-year revenue growth. In addition to its retail stores, Sipsy offers same-day delivery across Los Angeles and nationwide shipping to more than 40 states.

Sipsy Melrose is scheduled to open in mid-September at 6801 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038. Grand-opening details and the first round of tasting events will be announced on sipsy.com and on social channels @sipsydelivery.
