    The guy that kept ignoring us and wouldn't give us any eye contact.
    Carla A.

    I see that there are pretty good reviews about this place. However, my friends and I had a not so good experience. I found this place on YELP of course :). . .it was near the place we were staying for the weekend. It was within walking distance, so we chose to go here. Upon entrance, we were not greeted by the man behind the register. There were a couple vendors there that were very nice, but didn't work for the establishment directly, but they were still helpful. This store is also a bit pricey. I guess because it's the only one in the area, they can do that. Once we had chosen our stock, we went to check out and we wanted to ask the man behind the desk a few questions. We did so. He ignored us. We thought he was def until the Caucasian female to our left asked him about a wine she wanted and he answered. Once again, we asked him about a mixer and he ignored us again. It wasn't until my friends wife went closer to the desk and yelled (nicely) and asked him where something was. Although he answered, he did not give eye contact. I am all about good customer service, this guy was completely unaware of what that was. Needless to say, when we visit DC again, we will NOT be giving this place our business. Oh, the selection of alcohol is sub par. They do have delivery as well.

    Unbelievable selection, unbelievable quality. Opened this celebratory bottle-- thx Modern Liquors!

    Such a friendly store! Great recommendations, free tastings, and so dog-friendly that they always have treats for my pups.

    Insanely overpriced. Walk the extra 1-2 blocks to one of the other many neighborhood stores!

    Argumentative and unhelpful staff. I suggest choosing local options for other shops that treat customers respectfully.

This is the place to go if you're looking for some quality without breaking the bank.

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.

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.
