This tiny liquor store certainly doesn't have the most extensive selection, but they more than make up for it with their convenient location. It's very obvious that they cater to the largely georgetown student crowd. The prices are reflective of the area, easily 10-20% higher than surrounding stores. Their wine selection is minimal, and they're usually out of the Malbec that I prefer. The service is pretty hit or miss. I've gone in on slow nights and received personalized service where they even suggested wine pairings (apparently selling alcohol makes you an expert) and on other nights I've had the opposite extreme where I basically had to go behind the counter to get service.

Word to the Wise: When buying beer for minors at Dixie Liquor, be sure to make the hand-off ALL THE WAY UP THE STREET on 35th street. It's not enough to just go behind the bushes that hide the sidewalk from the store window. The cops may be hiding in wait. That said, providing liquor to minors is a irresponsible and disgusting behavior, and the owners of Dixie condemn any sort of harmful binge-drinking, even though they have fueled many alcohol-induced rages and (maybe) comas throughout the years, all in the shadow of Georgetown University. Dixie is famous for their selection of kegs. They always have kegs on special -- old kegs of Yuengling that won't get off the shelves, or some apricot or holiday nut-ale...all I can say is, be careful, because there is usually a reason they are on special. Just check the expiration date. The best part about Dixie is the friendly staff, who will gladly stay open a few minutes after ten, and who will help you roll your keg to the parking lot and heave it into your trunk.

The pause that refreshes!

Convenient, good prices, chill staff. At the bottom of an annoyingly steep hill, though.

Over 35 years ago I picked up a friend from college at the airport after he'd spent 3 years in Africa in the Peace Corps.

Saved the day! I was…read morelooking for this certain tequila that came out a few months ago and it did not feature any locations that were close to me but on my road trip, I saw this tequila was available on our route. The parking was a bit difficult because the only parking I believe that was available was on the street. Luckily we did find a space we could pull up to so I could run into the store for about 5 minutes to pick up what I was looking for and grab another goodie. The tequila was right at the checkout counter so check out was a breeze. This place definitely saved the day and I was able to try the tequila that I had been longing to taste for a few months or so. And it was just OK BTW. But I love the bottle. Definitely check them out. They may have some spirits that you don't even know about...hidden gems indeed. But if I'm in the area I would definitely check this store out over and over. Have fun and enjoy life :)

You'll find this very spacious and well appointed liquor store directly next-door to a Subway shop…read more and a small restaurant called Al tiramisu. Once inside it really hits you just how extensive the selection is. They really invested heavily into the inventory on the shelves here. And just when you think you've seen it all, there's a whole other room downstairs filled with an extensive wine selection. You can pick up large format bottles of high-end wine in wooden boxes or check out the temperature controlled wine cellar. You can also pick up a wedge of cheese and something out of the cigar humidor. They do have a decent craft beer selection, just not as extensive, unless of course you check out the goose Island bourbon barrel beers of which they have many vintages of. As you can see in the photos/video below, this is definitely a destination spot.

Smallish shop but don't let that dissuade you because they keep a great selection. Knowledgeable…read moreand friendly staff. This is the place to go if you're looking for some quality without breaking the bank. We purchased a few bottles and came away impressed when the clerk wiped the bottles down down, individually wrapped them, and even added a small bit of cardboard to keep the from clanking.

The staff person I encountered was extremely rude. My boyfriend and I live nearby and, after…read moredinner, walked in to see what they had. There was a man behind the counter who asked a couple of times if he could help us and we kept saying, "no, thank you were just looking around." After perusing the shop for about 10 minutes reading labels and talking about what we might buy the man asked us again. I finally said, "we're not looking for anything in particular, just thinking about what we want to have at home to make drinks". His reply? "Well I have a lot of duties that I can't do while you're here. You've been here for 10 minutes and I have things to do." Not only were his words rude, but his tone was dismissive and annoyed. I am seriously disappointed, especially since there were things that we were actually thinking of getting. I get that you're 25 minutes away from closing time on a Friday, but as someone who has worked in customer service, I would have been fired for saying something like that.
