Great location and a beautiful home. The beach was beautiful and just a short walk from the beach.

I normally don't review upon a first time visit but I had to give two thumbs up to IBCB. Super…read morecool, super chill spot to grab a beer or a glass of wine. They also have kombucha on tap if you are not a drinker. Plenty of options for entertainment such as board games, VYNYL records and in house events- follow their FB page for details. They also have a wonderful selection of beer and wine to go, mostly from local and N.C. brewers which is awesome. Did I mention they even DELIVER? Yep, give them a call and they will bring the party to you! We had amazing and welcoming service when we were there- felt like regulars instead of first timers. Be sure to say "hello" to resident dog Noelle- she's a real sweetie. To sum it up if you want a place with a chill vibe, no one screaming for "shots" and craft wine and beer WITH AC- be sure to check out Island Beverage..a great stop for your pre or post dinner drink at the nearby restaurants as well as a stand alone destination with their events. TIP- parking in this shopping center is a nightmare so feel free to utilize the free valet service by Micheal's- it is offered to all customers of all businesses in the shopping center.

But, Im done with assholes, and apparently five grand per year does not mean you cant spill a beer. Yes, I did spill one. Never got credit for one i didnt spill, so i really dont see who is losing here. But, now I wont ever go back and they can get that 25 hundred from some crackead who lives in the woods nearby this winter. I really dont understand people and their attitudes. l

My review for the Sunset Beach ABC store is below. This ABC Board is associated with and…read moreresponsible for that store. I appreciate you taking time to read and consider this review. Many thanks! Review for SB ABC Store: I wanted to give 1 star since the interaction was unpleasant and disturbing, but I gave 2 stars for raw honesty and a decent selection for a small store. Please read on to decide if this is the right store for you and your wallet. What happened? We have a house in SB and were patrons of the store...until tonight. Tonight, we walked in and asked for a rare type of alcohol to see if they carry it. We were told they do get them, but they are all spoken for by locals and regular patrons. I explained we are relatively new locals and patrons. My husband asked if there's a list he can get on for their next delivery. Nope. There's the raw honesty. I guess they could have given us a song and dance. They could have lied, but instead, I fear they took one look at us (bi-racial) and decided they weren't going to add us to their list. I hate to use the race card here since I rarely do, but this felt wrong and was definitely unfair to ALL patrons - regardless of ethnicity - other than their good old buddies. (Oh, and if it was a discrimination issue, I'd like to mention I'm a descendant of at least one documented patriot who fought in the American Revolution. You don't get more "American" than THAT.) I doubt I'll return. I'll drive farther to get better service and better pricing in SC. What a shame because we certainly have a large bar selection and entertain friends often, and of course as Sunset Beach locals (who don't rent their home), we'd prefer to purchase our alcohol in SB since 100% of net profits go directly to the Sunset Beach General Fund. I'd like to now use a phrase from Tom C.'s review of this store: "For our intelligent [Yelp] readers, I ask that you consider the source of this review." Please note this review is my humble opinion, and as an approved member of the "Elite Yelp" group, I do my best to provide fair and thorough reviews because the Yelp report I receive indicates thousands of people read my reviews each month. This is an updated review, and I previously gave a review of 5 stars for the decent selection, including specialty liquors. So, you can imagine how disappointed I was this evening when my husband and I received unfair treatment...even as "locals." I'd also like to note I'm well-educated and don't have an arrest record of any kind, and I only mention this because Tom C disparaged another patron of the store because of the other patron's review. I plan to ask the ABC Commission of North Carolina if this type of practice is indeed discriminatory and legal. For example, ABC stores in other North Carolina counties hold lotteries for rare bottles of alcohol. ABC stores in other states charge high prices (dictated by market demand) for rare alcohol. Don't these policies seem fairer than giving preference to the few good old buddies and refusing to sell the rare alcohol to other patrons? I humbly ask all readers to please carefully consider where you choose to spend your discretionary income. You have monetary power. If enough people choose to patronize other ABC stores, perhaps the Board Members (Herb, Michael, Donald, Betty, and Roy) of this store will reconsider their policies. Thank you.
