This is a review based on one thing only: Hunting for rare whiskey. Beckley's has a very nice collection of Bourbon and Rye, with some very hard to locate gems. Traveler's, Blanton's, and a bunch of other well reviewed bottles. They carry Buffalo Trace in all size bottles and there are gems from around the US. The prices are all over the map, with some great deals and some moderately inflated retail prices that are in the "secondary market" price range. If you are looking for something special --and are open minded-- you will find some nice choices. Some of the rarest (or "allocated") are on the register side and thus might be impossible to see ...so ask! Bot the best prices for the hard to find bottles, but you will find some unobtaneum if you make a few visits. You are welcome. read more

Maybe I just have good timing? Or maybe this place kicks a lot of A$$? Fantastic liquor store. I stop in once every few weeks and am never disappointed. Have always walked away with a bottle that is Unobtanium in VA. Stagg Jr, Weller, Caribou Crossing, ECBP, OWA... Always good stuff. Friendly staff. All love and no hate here. Kind of afraid to post this... feel like I am giving up a bourbon hunting secret. Highly recommended friends. read more

This is a great liquor/beer store, and the fact that it's also a hotel is hilarious. They have a good selection of microbrews, as well as a well thought-out liquor selection (yes, they do have liquor). Maybe it's just that I like the novelty of being able to buy beer and liquor at the same place, but I stop here every time I'm on this stretch of highway. read more

Beckley's Country Store - a sign for beckley's gas liquor motel - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

For the Motel: This is the most dirty, smelly, and disgusting motel I've ever seen. The rooms reek of funk, mold, & old cigarette smoke. Everything is dirty and gross. The refrigerator and the TV barely work (not cold, horrible picture, no remote), there are no towels bigger than a hand towel, any requests made to the front desk (the liquor store) are met with rudeness and/or ignorance. The walls are paper thin, so you're clearly hearing their "hourly customers" going at it. The doors on several of the rooms look like they've been kicked in. By the police? By redneck rapists? Who knows? There are no chains or bars on the doors, just a lock on the door knob opened by a key, that could have easily been copied by every previous costumer. And did I mention how bad the rooms smell?? It's worth mentioning again. The smell is just. so. BAD. read more

Preface: ***These 1-star reviews should be removed or ignored. They clearly hold no actual bearing on the reality of what Beckley's offers and it goes against what Yelp is about.*** A shockingly varied and wonderful selection of craft beer inspired me to review this place. Tons and tons of fantastic brews, some rare, that were so varied that it gives this small, roadside place real personality and definition. The only thing standing in the way of a 5-star review is how crammed in and random some of the order, organization and layout is when looking through the vast array of brews. To give craft brew enthusiasts a taste, when I stopped in today I saw some great finds: special Great Divide offerings, Uinta Dubhe, Samuel Adams small-batch series, DuClaw, new and special brews from Appalachian Brewing Co., a nice array of Lagunitas (I bought Imperial Red), Green Flash Brewing Co., the new Flying Dog cans, Green's from across the pond, real Belgians, etc. In sumation, it's a convenience store that has liquor, wine, beer and true craft brew - leaning heavily to the craft brew side of things - with a location that gives it the feeling of an oasis in the desert. I even had a nice, brief chat with the bearded fellow behind the counter who basically said his favorite beer was the one I consider my "Wife" beer - in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part! Will love 'er forever. read more

I stayed at the little motel here, and it was pretty bad. I have a high tolerance for shady motels, but this place had negative odors, pretty dirty floors, a non-working TV remote, and the entire door looked like it had been broken down by the police at one point. I guess I shouldn't complain about a $50 room in Maryland, but still. This place was sketch. read more

Awesome place awesome family they're simply the Best known them for 30 years. They're honest good people decent family run business.

Beckley's Country Store is awesome! They've got plenty of liquor and beer. Mia K., you just need to stop being a wuss, hang a left as you enter and walk to the back of the store and you will find a rather good, selection of beer and liquor--the wine is out front, cannot miss it-- you'll practically trip right over it. Beckley's is a real country store, not one of those government run outlets you will find in Montgomery County or elsewhere. This place has real personality; staffed by real down-to-earth people who will take their time to strike up a conversation and give you a friendly smile. If you ever get the guts to go back in, say hi to Sam, who runs the place, and/or Mike who helps out, are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet! The Beckley's motel, now that's a different story. It definitely reminds me of the Bate's motel in the movie Psycho! Read Michael H's review regarding the motel! read more

Believe it or not, I have been going to Beckley's for over 35 years. Granted, it looks the same as it did when I was little and my mom would stop on our way up Route 15 to PA from VA many times per year. This was ALWAYS our pit stop. I used to collect the little US States glasses they sold - I got one each time (wish I still had them). The restaurant is gone and the gift shop isn't what it used to be, but what nice people and a fabulous wine, liquor and beer selection. On a recent Christmas Day trip to PA they were OPEN! We quickly u-turned (didn't think they'd be open) and picked up some wine and right now I'm drinking a rare 'Duck Pond' '08 Pinot Noir from Oregon and it was priced fairly and it's delicious. If you haven't stopped here, you MUST. A true classic and a hidden gem for your alcohol and snack needs! read more

These guys have a great selection of craft beer in MD. Single bottles or 6-Packs. Don't let the outside fool you...

I live nearby and I make it a point to stop by this place for my beer/liquor needs. They have everything I need with an extremely helpful staff. If they don't have something you're looking for, ask the staff. They'll dig it up for you, or make sure they get it in stock. Definitely the place to go for alcohol. read more

Really good liquor store that has a good selections of beers and wines. If you like microbrew/local beers, Beckleys has a good amount. If you're interested in playing the lottery, they also have a machine to use. Very convenient off of Route 15. Prices are fair. The people that work here are friendly and helpful. read more

When you stop at Beckley's, make absolutely sure you count your change. They have some difficulties in doing this correctly. Which is a shame as I used to like this little place read more
