I went here today for the first time in at least 5 or so months. First of all, kudos to liquor stores that are open on sunday! Also, being open until 9 on a sunday is pretty rare. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the plexiglass barrier was taken down, and I could speak with the employees somewhat face-to-face. This is probably my favorite liquor store in the area simply because it is always bright and organized. Prices are comparable to most area stores but i've definitely seen lower ones elsewhere. If the prices were lowered just a tad I would give it 5 stars. Overall I am a fan and will be making this my go-to liquor store. Great selection. read more

Great service and ways a good ambiance shopping there. Great liquor and beer selection. A neighborhood favorite!

This is my neighborhood go-to liquor store and where I often purchase lottery tickets. The customer service is consistently good. They are helpful when I can't find what I want. If you engage in conversation, they are nice and friendly. My kid was admiring a cardboard truck displayed in the window once and when the owner saw him, he walked over and gave it to him. The staff is not effusive, so don't expect bubbly greetings. But don't mistake that for lack of friendliness. From what I can tell, they have a great selection of products. There are chilled wines and other beverages if you need one last minute. read more

The guy behind the counter isn't wearing a mask and was rude when I told him he should be.

This is your average local wine & spirits shop. It's conveniently located at the end of my block, but I'd say that the prices here are a little high. I will say that hey have a great variety and I've been able to find anything that I need. On the plus side, you can get take-out sushi from a couple doors over and a bottle of wine here & make it a real fun night! read more

Selection doesn't even come close to Schneider's, but they've got a solid variety of Ron Swanson juice at competitive prices with the occasional less common find. Staff is a little aloof, but it's nice that they can ring customers up on multiple registers before bottlenecking us back out the corner entrance. The Starr Hill vendor offering a beer tasting was an unexpected bonus. We'll be back to shop when we're in the neighborhood again. read more

Gone is the bullet-proof plexiglass of yore, and in place of the previously ubiquitous bottles of MD 20/20 and Night Train you will now find a decent range of wine, including many Spanish and South Americans selections. They even have a few Greeks which turned out to be a boon to me when I had to find something to accompany a Greek-themed dinner (I got an Agiorgitiko from Nemea in case you're wondering). Not to be overlooked is their selection of craft beers (mainly cans) arranged in the fridge that lines the back wall; in addition to national and local favorites like Oskar Blues and DC Brau, they carry products from smaller regional breweries such as Lancaster (I like to pick up a six of their Kolsch every now and then). Certainly not the best or highest-end selection in town, but it meets every day needs and beats having to schlep down to Schneider's on short notice. read more

This place is the real deal, if you ever need anything in particular talk to the associate Raj, he knows what's good and will help you. This is now my go to place Keep up the good work guys! read more

Wine, Liquor & Beer - what else is there in life?! My review might be a bit biased since this liquor store is at the end of my street - but I have no complaints. They always have what I need in stock and have a variety of everything - including box gift sets for your favorite beverage of choice. Prices are reasonable to me - but maybe I've lived in DC too long. They're also always open holidays which is nice because wine is always needed! read more

This is a first for me. So let's just say, based on my experience there, I felt inclined to write a review. First of all, this is a NICE liquor store that offers a good VARIETY in a developing neighborhood. There are plenty of "corner store" liquor joints all through this neighborhood, so this was definitely refreshing and inviting, with its large location and bright lit signs. I also enjoyed that they didn't hide all the good stuff behind the glass. I was able to contemplate Ciroc (my fave) vs. Grey Goose (runner up) right in my hands, which ultimately led me to making a purchase, with a bottle size I had not seen in many other stores, so I was very pleased. Also, the staff seems friendly, although I don't know how knowledgable they are on the specific products they have (english seems to be their second language). Nonetheless, this is a nice little hike from where I will be moving, but I could certainly see myself making the trip, to not have to deal with all of the unknown of other nearby stores. Thumbs up from me. read more

Good prices, good wines and good liquor for everyone's taste and budget here. We buy much of our party and dinner wine and beer here and have never been disappointed. And it's a short walk and 2 minute drive from where we live so it's ultra convenient. Also at the bus stop (G8) so I can stop off after work and get something if necessary. read more

Bloomingdale Wine & Spirits - Purchasing your liquor through plexiglass - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

After moving to DC from Arlington, I was probably most excited about the more relaxed alcohol laws. I don't care if I have to pay higher taxes, as long as I can buy liquor at 7 pm on a Sunday. Then I moved here and discovered you can't by liquor at all on Sundays. But that's not specific to Bloomingdale liquor. Bloomingdale Liquor is a fine booze-monger. They seem to have a decent wine stock, and a lot of beer fridges, but I don't buy those here. Their bourbon selection was slightly above average, but their prices were slightly below average. There was nothing there I haven't seen before, like some rare whisky, but this is a great neighborhood liquor store. The check out process is a little awkward (cashiers are in a boxed room to themselves), but the cashier was nice. read more

Great Selection and friendly service. So much better than the old liquor stores where the owner barricades himself behind a plexiglass. It's great to find wines form all over the world very fairly priced. read more

Just moved to DC and live near this store. Have been to a few stores in the area but this one is excellent. It is open and has a above average selection with reasonable pricing. Nice guys at counter who always greet me...... :) read more

Great service, more knowledgeable about wine and has a good selection for a corner liquor store. This one is better than a corner liquor store tho' because there are no people that hang out around it. If you wanna grab a good bottle of vino to go with that linguine and clam sauce you made for the dinner date at your crib and you're close...check it out. read more

This store is the bomb! The owners are the most friendly in DC! I entertain enough that I know liquor stores. Every time, and I mean EVERY time I go in I'm made to feel at home. This is what a neighborhood business is supposed to be. The client appreciation and salutations are next to none in DC! The build up of their wine selection beats all in Dupont too! Make this your only liqour store to shop in 20001. You won't be disappointed! read more

Bloomingdale Liquors is an excellent asset to our community. They have a vast selection and carry a reasonable amount of half gallons. Every time it snows, I always go here and get some likka'. Great place! read more

The good news... they rent keg taps. Which is key if you are getting great beer from one of DC's local breweries. The bad news... they only rent the cheap and easy to break ones. Oh, and they DO NOT CLEAN the taps prior to renting them. Make sure to test the tap right in front of them. (open spigot and let beer flow out of line). Recommend just buying your own tap on Amazon. They are only a few bucks more than the cost of the rental read more

A bit pricey, but good variety. I needed someplace to walk for a bottle of wine. This fit the bill. They guys inside were very friendly.

A strong wine and liquor selection and reasonable for DC prices make Bloomingdale Liquor a better than average corner liquor store. The staff is friendly and answers questions on wine with a good degree of knowledge, and they have specials on a regular basis. Whether you want a microbrew or a bottle of your favorite wine or liquor, Bloomingdale liquor is a pleasant place to shop and well stocked. read more

Nice little store. Very friendly sales associates. There is a young gentlemen named Jasraj he's always very helpful when I ask him what's new or what's good to try. I been coming to this store for years it's a great family owned business. read more

Pros: N/A Cons: Plentiful variety stuffed into a small area makes locating a product difficult. Staff isn't the most helpful or friendly. No parking. read more

This is definitely the best liquor store in the area. It is spotless and has the best selection of beer, wine, and spirits around. The staff are extremely friendly; if you cannot find what you are loking for, just ask! And checkout is a smooth process read more

Friendly...will order anything you want but takes a little while. Their plastic bags are a little flimsy, totes bring a tote ;-)

Me and my husband went in to get some for a loving night and got followed us all over the store it crazy I will never go there again they races and more I get the shore all . read more

I go here occasionally, as it's conveniently located and decently stocked but the workers aren't particularly friendly, so I'll never go out of my way to shop here. read more

Horrible, horrible customer service. I JUST purchased a Groupon for this place on Friday, went out of the way to visit this place and redeem it today (Monday) and they merely stated they're "no longer accepting" the Groupon, even though it was good for several more months. When I complained, the manager was very dismissive...saying the product I was purchasing was now more expensive and therefore, they won't accept the voucher. This place definitely won't be getting any more future business from me - if you sell a discounted deal, then honor the deal! If you don't want to honor the deal, then take the deal off the Groupon site. Seriously, don't waste your time here! There are plenty of liquor stores in the city, with nice owners who provide great customer service, but this is not one of them. read more

They don't have their packs of beer labeled properly. When I told the cashier I was being overcharged, he still cashed me out, gave me no receipt, then went back to check and said specialty beers aren't labeled (even though they are on a shelf with a clear price). Without a receipt and in a rush, I let it go, but I won't be returning and recommend every be wary. read more

I like this shop so much. The guys are fine, nicer once they get to know you. They carry just about everything we've ever wanted, including high end whiskey we used to have delivered to us because we couldn't find it anywhere in D.C. I was absolutely stunned when we found it right down the street! Serves me right for judging a book by its cover and not checking there first. read more

They have cachaça and were the only of 5 liquor stores in Bloomingdale/Eckington that were open on Memorial Day. I love this place. Excellent prices on wine too. read more

I purchased a nice bottle of whiskey from them that I had shipped to me. To no fault of theirs, the bottle was broken when it arrived. I immediately contacted them by phone and email and they responded to both immediately. They stayed in contact with me the entire time and ensured that they made the situation right by me. Very trustworthy guys that I worked with here. I would definitely recommend doing business with them. read more

The selection here is good, and the presentation is nice. I usually buy Grey goose or Ciroc from here. The prices are better than most other stores I've seen in the area and a few things are cheaper than some ABC stores I've visited in Virginia as well. The guys working there are also pretty knowledgeable. I asked one of the guys if they knew of any new or different whiskey as I was in the mood for something different. He recommended High West Whiskey, which I had never heard of before but I ended up really liking. Overall, its a good place to get alcohol. read more
