Found the man in here working to be super friendly and not at all pushy or hovering over me. This would be a four star ABC store except that maybe 10 to 15 percent of their bottles didn't have prices on them. The counter is a long walk from the whiskey wall and aisles and who wants to keep walking back and forth to ask the man to do a price check? Easy solve...put prices on everything. They didnt have anything allocated here the day I stopped in, but that's nothing outside the norm.

We were greeted warmly and spoke with the attendant there for a bit. She was very nice. They carry basically everything you'd expect to find at a liquor store, including lots of ready made cans, minis, pints, 750s and handles. One nice find was they had quite a few flavored vodka and whiskey minis for only 99 cents. Prices are competitive, but as expected, they are a bit higher than Total Wine, Sam's Club, and Costco in Myrtle Beach. One nice thing is they charge the same price whether you pay cash or use a credit card. Check out their website as they do list free tastings there. Plenty of free parking out front. Note: this is one location in a small chain all owned by the same owner. They have locations in Longs, Myrtle Beach, Florence and a couple others too. I'd call first if you're hunting for a specific bourbon like Stagg, etc.

It's super well organized, with everything easy to find, and if I have questions, they're always answered by someone that is friendly. The staff here is quite knowledgeable and definitely helpful.

No beer here, but they do have pre-mixed ready to drink cans, etc. Prices are regulated by the state and they run the same sales that all the other NC ABC stores run. No public restroom. Open 9 am to 8:55 pm daily. Closed Sundays. Maybe 15 to 20 parking spots out front. Great store. I look forward to returning and buying more.

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.
