Universal Fine Wine & Spirits Offers Variety, Great Customer Service & Affordable Prices By Julie Kanehl Universal Fine Wine & Spirits, also known as Universal Liquors, has been providing local residents with an amazing selection of wine, beer and liquor for nearly ten years. Today, this family owned and operated liquor store has an online store as well, and is well known by locals for providing everyday low prices on everything from craft beers to their favorite name brand whiskeys. Whether you’re looking to pick up the usual staples or are looking to spice things up with something fun and frivolous, you’ll find everything you need at Universal Fine Wine & Spirits, which is located on U.S. Hwy 19 in Holiday, just a few miles from Tarpon Springs, East Lake,
Trinity and New Port Richey. Their convenient location, their generous hours of operation and the fact that they are open 365 days a year, makes Universal Liquors a real favorite for many, and that word of mouth has been the key to what has made Universal Fine Wine & Spirits so successful over the last ten years. Owner Rob Janevski says, “We pick up a lot of business because of word of mouth and because of our customer service. We’ll take the time to help customers find what they’re looking for.” One customer recently said, “This is the best liquor store around. They have a little bit of everything.” See “Universal FWS” on page 42.

You may not realize this, but right next to Universal Fine Wine & Spirits in Holiday is the hottest bar in town. We’re talking a jaw dropping atmosphere with hipster flair, DJs, live music, couches and lounge chairs, a pool table, cool people and over 250 brands of liquor, wine and beer all in one place. From the outside, Orbit 19 is pretty much a blank slate, a mystery, and for years I know I drove right by. Those days are over, my friend, because Orbit 19 is where it’s at. Located at 1542 US Hwy 19
in Holiday, its otherworldly feel takes you miles away from Pasco County and straight into orbit. It’s not just me that seems to think so either. Orbit 19, which was built from the ground-up and is owned by the same family that opened Universal Fine Wine & Spirits in 2003, has been winning awards for its unique bar experience for years. In fact, Creative Loafing has given Orbit 19 a few of their coveted “Best of the Bay” awards in categories such as Best Kept Secret, Best Night Life in Pasco and Best Pickup Spot.

of Universal Fine Wine & Spirits, says, “A lot of people who have come to the store for years have no idea that we have a lounge. When they see it they all say, ‘This isn’t at all what I expected!’ ” Dadia Janevska, Manager and Events Director at Orbit 19, has created an upscale bar environment that caters to a clientele who prefer premium well drinks and top shelf liquor to the cheap stuff. Behind the simple façade, Orbit 19 is classy, eclectic and, frankly, a whole lot of fun. Rob says, “[Orbit 19] is a laid back kind of lounge where people can sit, drink and socialize.” The reviews for Orbit 19 are pretty stellar, and many of their regulars can’t stop raving about it. See “Orbit 19” on page 44.
