Well, here I am reviewing a beer and wine shop.. we've hit that point. But you know what, that's…read moreokay. Let's just say I'm at this place far too often (not often enough?). My main reason for choosing this store is a lazy one: convenience. It's within a half mile of my house. There are definitely major pros and a couple minor cons to this particular beer and wine shop: Pros: 1) The selection! I mean, if you want to try a new beer that you've never had and you're in the Bethesda/Rockville area, this is your place. The owner seems to have an interest in keeping oddities on the shelf, which makes me a big fan. 2) Location - this may be a perk that's particular to a smaller number of people that live close, but for the others, it is still valuable. This shop is right next to Giant. Grabbing groceries? Stop in and pick up a bottle (box) of wine. Working out at WSC next door? Great job burning all those calories! Now go replace them with a nice cold brew. Buying a new iPhone at the Verizon next door? Celebrate with some bubbly. 3) The staff is probably my favorite B&W staff around. Very knowledgeable and actually seem like they're happy to talk to you about different types of beer (I've never really talked wine with them). I'm always happy to talk to these guys. Cons: 1) The prices are slightly high, even relative to other nearby places. No, they're not as high as wine prices at Balducci's accross the street, but if you have the time to drive 3 miles to the alcohol shop in Cabin John, you'll save yourself some $$. Example: the wine I like getting is regular priced at $24 at Georgetown Square vs $19 at Cabin John. That's nearly 20% less. Cabin John severely lacks in beer options and does have the perk of liquor, plus better wine prices, but since I'm more of a beer guy, I go to Georgetown Square for the options and buy my wine there as well out of convenience. 2) Rotates almost too quickly. Sometimes I fall in love with some beer that's was a small new oddity, then I can never get it again. It's like they get you hooked, then take it away. I know this is a weak con, but doesn't make it less true (in my case, anyway). Overall: Love this place. Great selection (both beer and wine), great staff, so-so prices, good location, and open fairly late. I considered giving 4 stars rather than 5 due to the higher prices, but when they experiment with so many different beers and have a storefront on Old Georgetown, I suppose they need to fund those costs somehow. 5 stars!

The store is nicely organized, it's pretty easy to find what you're looking for. Staff seems pretty helpful too. Not giving five stars because one time I came in at like 8:58pm and they close at 9pm and the guy was kind of rude even though I knew exactly what I was looking for and was out of the store by 9. I stopped for a half a minute to look at some wine, which I did purchase and the guy got snappy. Not cute. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place. They have everything you're looking for. There are a lot of cute little boutique beer and wine places, but this place has everything, including liquor and mixers.

I have absolutely no complaints regarding Maryland Farms Super Liquors…read more Super is a perfect word to have in its name, because this place is HUGE. The place is like the size of two liquor stores. While I was visiting for a few things (gin, vodka, and Cava sparkling wine), I had stop myself from acting like a kid in a candy store. I guess it's better to say like an adult kid in a liquor store. I thought Maryland Farms had quite an extensive supply of various liquors and wines. Overall, I thought the staff was very helpful in helping me find all that I need to find. Since the store is pretty well laid out, I really did not need their help in finding what I needed, but it's the though that counts. Also, it was kind of cool that they were jamming to Cumbia-style Christmas songs. While this shop is a bit out of the way, I'll gladly make this one of my go-to stops for my liquor and wine needs. Oh, I thought the prices were pretty much in line with other liquor stores that I have visited in the area. Actually, the prices might be a bit lower than average.

Not only do they not greet you properly but the few words they may speak to you happen to be not English. on top of that i had to ask the old man who was going back to his bowl of food for my receipt. and don't expect to receive a thank you from their part or a good day at all. luckily there is another beer and wine store across the street with a much better customer service and will to attend you.
