With its robust selection of fine wines and spirits, it's not hard to hit Minibar's $25 minimum. Fill your cart with bottles of rosé and bubbly, six-packs of beer and handles of booze.

If you're looking for a very particular bottle of booze—like a Japanese whiskey or a vintage champagne—Saucy has you covered with a craft-heavy selection that feels a bit more upscale. In the "extras" section, guests can toss in fresh citrus, mixers, chocolate bars, frozen pizzas and cigars. You never know what you'll be craving after two Old Fashioneds.

For drinkers with a discerning palate, this craft-booze hub is like Disneyland—without the lines or the screaming kids. With the click of a button, you can shop spirits from independent craft distilleries throughout the country. The coolest thing about Spirit Hub is that you're likely to stumble across products you've never heard of (like bourbon whiskey finished in maple syrup barrels), making it an ideal place to discover a new favorite.

Just like its peers, Uber Eats allows you to shop your favorite restaurant's wine cellar or beer stash while you get your grub on.
