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.

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.

Very small and kind of unorganized. Also, we bought a bottle of tequila and before we left, we were…read moretold that we would get a discount if we came back. We actually did come back same day, just a couple hours later and were charged MORE than the first bottle. We decided to leave since we were going to pay more than the original price. The manager just happened to come in right as we were leaving and said that he would charge us the original price (no discount) but at least it wasn't more than what the other guy was charging. I don't mind paying the one price but if you say if we return that you will give a discount and not honor it, is unacceptable. I will not return here.

This is a store that cares about their selection, service, and their customers. If you don't know what to get, ask for recommendations and they'll be honest, matching your tastes or your budget. Don't see it in stock? Ask for it, and they'll order it. Did you just purchase way too much than you want to carry home? Good news, they deliver! You can even order online now at www.dcwineguy.com or order via the app. If you want to shop at and support a true locally owned and operated store that cares about their customers, Cairo is the place for you.

That's when you find out how high their delivery fee is. Also, they add a tip automatically. Bottom line, expect to pay a high deliver fee and tip for a service that you're not happy with. I use them only when I'm pressed for time and am happy with getting it delivered the same day.
