I've been to many a liquor store in DC, and this is, by far, as good as it gets. The owners (?) are really friendly and take the time to talk to you and understand what you're looking for if you're looking a little lost. But at the same time, if they can see that you're in a hurry, they're more than happy to stand back and let you call the shots. No pun intended.
Every time I walk in, I get greeted with a nice welcome. Every other place I've gone to makes me feel like there's other shady stuff going down in the back, and they just regular customers to hurry up and get out. Idk, maybe these guys are just the rare legit city liquor store.
Whatever the case, they're pretty awesome in my book. read more
