Then I looked down and realized that it was me; on a random weekday with no holiday in sight (unless you count every weekend as a holiday because its 2 days where you don't have to experience the excruciating drudgery that is your job). So its come to this. Ah well. (in my defense, I would like to point out that if you actually do the math, buying the 1.75L bottle of [insert alcohol of choice] is WAY more economical than buying the 1L or 750ml ... by leaps and bounds)

A friend took me to VA due to there being a better beer selection there. His go to is Total Wine &…read moreMore, a chain of stores that specializes in beer, wine, other drinks, etc. This location was great; street parking was easy to find, and it being off the main streets it was quiet and convenient. It was like being a kid in a candy store, way more beer than one person could drink in years. They had a lot of local and regional breweries as well, plus solid selections from around the world. They also had a surprisingly large selection of NA and gluten free beers, which made some of my friends happy to be trying something new. It was all very organized and colorful as well, with wheeled ladders to get to the high stuff. There was a lot kept cold as well. My only main complaint is there were many beers that must be kept cold out on room temperature shelves, which will affect freshness and maybe even make some undrinkable. I did a mixed six pack and bought a variety case of a favorite brewery I can't get at home. Prices were reasonable as well. The staff was great, friendly and fast to help. If you live near one, be sure to join their rewards and discount programs if you're a frequent shopper.

Undoubtedly the best liquor store in the city. Of course they do stock the standards, but Raj and…read morecrew are phenomenal at providing nuanced and considered recommendations for something new. Gin and scotch selections are excellent and quite variable. One easily comes across complex, yet affordable option on both scores given their selection. Care to try something entirely new? Various interesting aperitif options can also be found. The variability and people has led me to return regularly even though I now no longer live in that part of the city. Thankfully, they largely (albeit not entirely) stray away from the ubiquitous kitsch usually found in Washington liquor stores. And the team truly know their trade. On their wines, they have a large Californian and French selection. Although they certainly do have their share of Italians and Argentinians, on the whole I would say it is less of their strong suit by comparison. Pricing is very good, keeping quality with affordability. I can easily go in and pick up a decent $18 bottle of wine or an amazing $45 bottle, depending upon their fare and occasion. In either case, if you find yourself in pretty regularly (as I do) get to know the guys and you'll find they really do get to know you and your preferences and start recommending just the right thing depending upon the occasion. Couldn't comment on beer selection, no idea but I suspect not significant. For those who prefer good wines and liquor that is probably for the best in any case. All around, excellent place. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

I walked in and must've triggered some sort of invisible alarm labeled "ugh, effort." She looked at me like I personally ruined her weekend, then proceeded to act like scanning a bottle was the emotional equivalent of climbing Everest. No greeting, no eye contact -- just pure, uncut disdain. Iconic, really. I didn't know one could radiate "I don't care" at such a high frequency. If you're into being treated like a burden for existing, this place is a five-star experience. Otherwise, save yourself the headache.

This is a Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Store meaning they only sell liquor. This…read moreparticular location is a stand-alone store, which is rare because they are usually in strip malls. A brief history according to Virginiaplaces.org states that after Prohibition ended, Virginia authorized retail stores to sell beer and wine but retained direct control over the sale of hard liquor. The General Assembly set up what is today the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Authority and gave it the exclusive right to sell hard liquor directly to the public. So, this is where you go to get your spirits of choice. They are small but well stocked stores and they often have sales. If there is something you want that is not on the shelf you can do a special order & they will get it in for you, even for just one bottle. The staff is always friendly and helpful & the store is always clean & stocked. What could be better! Cheers!
