I've known about this store for a while but hadn't had the opportunity to stop by until today…read more Needing a holiday gift for a friend who loves Irish whisky, I dropped in as it was on my way from an appointment. There's about 6 to 8 parking spots along the building, fairly easy to access if turning off of Blair or 4th. The store front & building paint are in good repair. The lady I met & her staff (super helpful & friendly) were busy stocking, organizing, & also putting up this excellent display in the liquor area for the holidays. They have a massive wine & beer selection as well (not pictured). She said she has been in charge for about one year now & her focus has been on making the store clean, well-organized, and with a great variety of selection. I frequent liquor stores for wines, whiskies, & IPAs so I've seen the gamut of what's on offer in the DMV area & I can say S&S is the best organized & stocked that I've seen. On this visit, I was able to pick up two Irish whiskies I've not seen anywhere else, one being for my friend who I think will be pleased. I'll be back over to S&S!

The staff is very good; knowledgeable about their inventory and lets you browse without pestering. It's a triangular space and a heck of a lot has been put on the shelves and in the nooks and crannies. The way things are displayed in the store is helpful. There's an intelligence about it, always meticulously maintained. It's become a part of my shopping routine. I'm happy to support an independent business that's locally-founded and managed.

This was a dingy place with "vice lives here" written all over it's dirty walls. Lots of betting going on. Two windows and even the liquor had a ride (glass bulletproof carousel). And no Grenadine! Very few mixers come to think of it. Why dilute the drink? I bought an unknown brand of Guatemalan rotgut (and made my offerings to the porcelain god later). If you like stereotypical liquor stores, this is the place for you.

Overly priced for no reason…read more Stopped here to pick up a bottle of Bartenura Moscato. Didn't think it was going to be overly priced as it was but what a surprise. I asked why wasn't the price listed and was told they just received the shipment so no labels were made. Ehhhhh. The total was $22 with taxes. Smh. The service overall was meh and the establishment itself wasn't the most clean. Not a good experience and I don't see myself coming back especially when there are other places that sell the same bottle at a much more reasonable price and one I'm used to paying.

I then voice called and the person who picked up acted annoyed, instead of saying "sorry it is late". Since they add on hefty fees, including a mystery fee, this is really below standard service, on top of the unfriendly, borderline rude guy who answered the phone. I know in other countries, manners are different, but in America, we expect the people we pay to at least be polite. There are dozens of other liquor stores in the DMV. Don't give this one your money.

This is one of my go-to spots. I love the unique selection of wine. We moved here from California…read moreand one of our favorite destinations was Valle De Guadalupe, in Mexico. Finding wine from this region is very rare -- but this spot had several options to choose from. It also includes a great range from across the country and some of the best wine regions around the world. They even sell one of my favorite wines from a small producer is Paso Robles that is even hard to find in Southern California. They have a wonderful wine selection as well as non-alcoholic options such as Ghia soda. Being a longtime Californian, I loved the many options to try these non-alcoholic drinks known as Nootropics, aka herbal drinks that give you a relaxed feeling without the hangover. It's definitely not a buzzed feeling but more of an inner calm if you want to chill and wake up refreshed the next morning. The wines are reasonably priced. They also have a wide range of hard liquors. I'm not a heavy booze drinker so mostly come here for the wines and the Ghia soda. But it seems to be a nice selection on the hard liquor side as well.
