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... HENCE: they are not the cheapest

Department of Beer & Wine is a craft beer and wine bottle shop that opened in Alexandria, Virginia…read morein August 2017. It was founded by husband and wife Jeff and Melissa Sapsford and their business partner Stevie Treichel. Jeff previously managed the Sunset Beer Company craft beer shop in Los Angeles and also worked for Norm's Beer and Wine in Vienna (VA). The Sapsfords teamed up with Treichel to open their own bottle shop that focuses on craft beer and small production wines (especially ones that are locally produced). Melissa focuses on the store's gourmet goods program and helps with community outreach programs. The shop opened in the Potomac Yard section of Alexandria to much local acclaim. In February 2025, the partners announced that they would be moving to a new location in the Del Ray section of Alexandria. The reason for the move was to offer expanded parking and to get away from construction which surrounded the original location on Richmond Highway. Department of Beer & Wine closed in March 2025 and reopened at their new location the following November. I recently visited Department of Beer & Wine while I was staying in the DC Metro area for a few days. I was looking for a place that had a good craft beer selection, and Department of Beer & Wine came highly recommended on Yelp. The shop is a little on the smaller side, but nonetheless they have an impressive selection of craft beer and sustainable wines. They even have 20 beer taps so that customers can purchase a crowler of fresh draught beer, cider, and even craft soda. I recently transitioned to a sober lifestyle, and fortunately the shop had a decent selection of non-alcoholic craft beer as well. I ended up picking out a six-pack of "Brevet IPA" by Atlanta-based Halfway Crooks Beer. I wasn't familiar with the beer or the brewery, but it had a good rating on Untappd and I decided to give it a try. I'm glad that I did because it was really refreshing! Department of Beer & Wine is an excellent battle shop and I highly recommend it to any craft beer or wine afficianados who are in the DC Metro area!

However, stopping today (2/16/26) on this federal holiday was not painful at all. LOVE the drive thru option but actually prefer going in because of the deals and specialty items. Just intended to pick up some Angry Orchard hard cider (bottles not cans). After a semi-dry January ... just still trying to keep things a little lighter. I'm not a regular but I will ALWAYS recommend BK Miller's. Orderly and organized and can't brag enough about the prices and selection/variety. As a matter of fact, I found Blackberry Crown Royal today (Mon., 2/16/26)! I love the Peach Crown with pineapple juice. Not sure what to mix the Blackberry flavor with (maybe lemonade)? I'll try to update my review soon.

I stop by when I came to grab me some seafood from across the street and they have had what I wanted in stock. And trying the tastings I've found some new wine that is so good. Even though I have enough at the house if I'm in the area again I'll stop by again! Y'all do the same!

Basic customer service skills dictate that employees should greet customers upon arrival. When I brought this to their attention, they explained that they were engaged in a conversation. However, they could have taken a moment to acknowledge me before continuing their conversation. Yes I know I am beautiful, but it only takes a moment to SPEAK! Additionally, the store was quite empty, which made me think that they were expecting inventory. I believe that it is important for employees to acknowledge customers, regardless of their gender. When I expressed this sentiment to the employees, they laughed, which I found unprofessional and disappointing. UGH!
