It is wild to say this, but this is the best ABC Liquor Store around. I have stopped in while…read moregoing to Myrtle Beach, but also been to their Bourbon allotted events and it is always so well organized. Not to mention the manager is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet. My husband is a big bourbon fan so he has encountered all sorts of ABC workers and many a times, for whatever reason, the Bourbon fans are just not their jam and they often times are rude to them, but not here at Shallotte. They do lotteries for their bourbon, and did a drawing also in person. Overall, this place is newer, has a great selection, and really understand the meaning of southern hospitality.

Well she called around and the gentleman on the phone confirmed that had them so were stored in. This was not a huge store but a liquor store does not need to be the size of a Sam's club. They had a great selection on spirits. We were only there for what we called about so we didn't really get into anything else. We purchased 4 of the 4 packs in those shots and then they also had singles for sale as well so we got a few of those. The employee who helped us was and older gentleman but not the same as in the phone. He was fairly nice and pleasant as he helped us track down those shots we called about. Overall it was a pleasant experience at this store and though I probably won't ever be back in the area again, I would recommend it to anyone who was looking to buy some spirit's near by.

I stopped in twice yesterday. The first visit was fine -- nothing memorable, but fine. Geneva was…read morebartending both times. The second visit, however, came with a greeting I've never heard in my fifty‑plus years: "You've been out all day. I can't serve you because I'll be liable if you're over served." I've bartended before. I understand the responsibility. But I was never asked a single question about what I'd actually been doing. For clarity: we had lunch at Michael's Seafood before our first visit. I had one non‑alcoholic seltzer at Island Beverage, and my partner had a four‑flight sampler. After that, we went thrifting and shopping at Goodwill, Lowe's Foods, and Dollar Tree. No drinking. No bar‑hopping. Nothing even close. On our second visit, Geneva gave us water and let us charge a phone -- and I do appreciate that. But being told "you've been out all day" instead of "welcome back" was unnecessary, inaccurate, and frankly insulting. It was an assumption presented as fact, and it was embarrassing. What made it even more absurd was watching Geneva continue to serve patrons who were clearly intoxicated while I sat there with a glass of water. So here's the takeaway: Don't go in twice in one day. Apparently that alone is enough to get treated like you've been drinking all over town. After this experience, I won't be going in on any day. I hope the staff can handle situations like this with actual communication instead of jumping straight to conclusions.

This wine and beer bar and bottle shop is awesome. I can kick myself for waiting so long to check in, but better late than never. Cozy inside atmosphere with a nice selection of beers cans, bottles and on tap to choose. The wine by the glass is trainable with a good sized pour. The wine rack selections in the back is diverse and well priced. Can definitely see buying a bottle(s) to share. The outside space has tons of seating in a relatively small space. A section with a fire pit, beer and wine tasting and music on weekends. The staff are great to talk with and good reference for beer and wine selections. My new OKI hangout.

A good place to pick up those alcohol/liquor purchases to enjoy at your beach house vacation. The Deets: I accompanied some friends to the Brunswick Co. ABC store where they can get some needed beverages to help them enjoy their vacation. This ABC store looks rather new in appearance, just off Hwy 130/Holden Beach Rd, on the mainland just outside Holden Beach going towards Shallotte. It had a good amount of parking and a nice facade, with well marked signage on the road as well. Upon entering, this store appears clean and well stocked with alcohol/liquor/beverages as well as good organization as my friends found what they needed quickly. When they got to the register for checkout, the staff were personable, positive, and helpful.

With the move, they also have a brand new, much larger building with ample parking and a turnaround for large vehicles, which I'm betting comes in handy for deliveries. Service is polite, helpful when asked a question, and efficient. The store layout is nice, with American Whiskeys getting two large aisles along the back of the space. There's also a nice Tito's display near the front, on the right as your enter, pretty much on the opposite side of the store from the vodka aisles on the far left. Basically, it's still just an ABC liquor store, but it's a definite upgrade from the previous location. And open just in time for the summer season.
