This is the first sub par review I have written for a Virginia ABC. There is a specific reason why…read morethat I will provide in the body of the review. The location is in a large strip beside a grocery chain. Parking is plentiful and debris free. The front of the store was also clear of trash. Upon waiting in line for a delivery truck with allocated bottles the store opened. The line was probably 14-16 long for approximately 8-10 hard to find bottles. I was number three. All the customers were permitted in at once which created a free for all with those on the rear rushing to the front grabbing bottles. There was zero control by the staff. It was the most chaotic scene in a VA ABC I've encountered. Checkout was smooth but no friendly customer service. Guess I was not surprised. This is a store I will most likely never return to if I can help it. 1.5 rounding up for awesome bottles I scored.

I was curious to stop into ABC to see how the prices were in comparison to DC area. A friend had…read morepreviously spoken highly of ABC as a whole and I decided to stop in. Overall this location is nice. There's plenty of parking outside and the store is nicely organized. I passed by a couple different staff and no one said anything to me. No greeting and I wasn't offered assistance despite the fact I was aimlessly walking around. The store isn't huge but does have a big selection. To me the prices seemed higher than the liquor stores near me. I will say I saw several promotions throughout the store, several that had a free mini bottle attached. (Which I never see in DC / MOCO) I was impressed with the mini bottle section and the prices were spot on in that department. I didn't end up buying anything since I could get most of it cheaper where I live- but that doesn't mean this isn't a good stop if you're in a jam.

Whenever I see ABC, immediately think Always Be Closing, however in the case the only thing you are…read moreclosing in on is liquor!! Shots, shots, shots, shots, after purchase of course. The first thing I like about this location is that it is always fully stocked. No matter what I'm looking for, they always seem to have it. Hence this visit was for that new new Blackberry Ciroc * throws my diamond in the air* and they did not disappoint I was able to get the last bottle in the store, talk about winner winner chicken dinner. Even if I have a set agenda, I always walk all the aisles to see what I can see. My new find this time was that good ol Rum Chata but as a coffee creamer, yes, yes let your screams out now!!! Who woulda thunk it? Guess who bough it?? This girl!!! I was also looking for a new vodka to try and as I survey the selection, stranger danger walks up on me and suggests, this new vodka in a sleek blue bottle, needless to say it caught my eye before he even mentioned it. He kept reiterating how smooth it was,smooth to me is no chaser, no mixer, straight over ice. Sold!! In case you are wondering, it did not disappoint! I also like that they carry a wide selection of local brands for you to choose from as well. Staff is always helpful if need be and checking out is easy peasy. Looks lie when I come here from now on, I will always be choosing something new to try!

Not sure how I've missed reviewing this Virginia ABC Store - I've been in here several times…read more.. This is the newest of the three Virginia ABC Stores is the Greater Gainesville-Haymarket megaplex - it opened less than a year ago in the Madison Crescent retail complex - located at the intersection of U.S. 29 and U.S. 15. Decent selection of booze, particularly vodkas and bourbons, for some reason it seems considerably smaller than the Virginia ABC Store over in Dominion Square in Haymarket - but that is a hardly a scientific observation on my part! I've stocked up a few items here over the course of time this place has been open: Ketel 1 and Grey Goose vodkas, Single Malt Scotch, Knob Creek Bourbon, and other assorted hooch. Picked up a bottle of Galliano this evening for a friend. Good place to stock your bar!

Bordain visited a bar with his host - and they enjoyed the Pisco Sour cocktail during their visit. Not ever having experienced this cocktail - and enjoying sour flavor profiles - I knew I had to make the cocktail. So I stopped in for a bottle of La Diablada Pisco - a brandy from South America used to make the Pisco Sour cocktail. For some reason - Pisco Brandy is not readily available at all Virginia ABC Stores - so I had to travel to Manassas to find a bottle. This location is located in the Bull Run Plaza retail complex. Service was prompt. Paid with Apple Pay. #VirginiaABCStore

On the floor are so many wine selections grouped by type and some bigger bottles of vodka and other liquors. The layout is open and the store is fairly bright. The prices were reasonable and I spent so much that I got a Jack Daniels glass short tumbler. It was very heavy and nice. I'll take pictures next time I go.

Thirsty's serves its purpose if you are thirsty for moderately priced alcohol. They have a nice variety of liquors and wines but certain items (that I prefer) take awhile to restock. Overall, this place is decent and serves to the community. I am still salty AF over the lottery machine incident I had 2 weeks ago. But I will admit it resolved itself after a hour or so. The manager never showed up. However, someone went to the machine, when I stepped out to take a tinkle, won a little bit of money, and had the audacity to try to cash out w/ the the worker. Thankful, he knew what was going on and told them guy his $32 was coming to me since he stole my credit. He tried to deny it and when I spoke up, he resolved the issue... in which he had no choice (back to my review)... decent liquor store, mostly friendly staff (based off my interaction) and reasonably priced...
