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!

Richmond it is time to privatize liquor sales in Virginia! Actually it's been years, and…read morelegislators and Governors, enough is enough. When having to gift liquor to my Scotch Irish relatives, obviously booze goes good. Yet if I can't get into DC or Maryland, I'll be paying more here. It is patently ridiculous and against capitalism. On a plus note this is one of their better locations. Park in the rear or side of the building. Little River Turnpike can have a lot of traffic. Actually the employees here are super polite and know their liquor products. It is a tidy and organized store. Due to the laws I'll give it an average rating. Please don't drink and drive.

Upon finishing my military hair cut, I decided to get a special bottle of whiskey for my wife. I…read moreremember her telling me about Royal Crown and a new flavor called Apple last year. Today, I stopped by to see if they had a bigger bottle of whiskey than the size that was bought last time. Sure enough this store did, but I saw something that changed everything. Next to the bottle of Royal Crown Apple are a few bottles of Royal Crown Peach. Something I figured my wife would want to try since she loved the Royal Crown Apple. Once again my suspicion were correct and she loved the Royal Crown Peach. The manager told me this bottle is hard to keep on the shelf. I will have to keep my eyes open for two more bottles of the Royal Crown Peach should I see it.

I do have an ABC store two minutes away but if I drive three more minutes, I can go to this…read morelocation. The one closer to me is fine, but it is a bit of an older store. That being said, this one always has French pastis in stock & on the shelf; Pastis is similar to Italian Sambuca or Greek Ouzo but not quite the same, lol. Sambuca is made from elderberries, Ouzo is made from distilled grapes & aniseed, & Pastis is made from anise, star anise & fennel. The store only has Pernod, which we do like, but you can special order Ricard, which is mine & my French hubs preference; they are from the same company & are both anise-flavored spirits that have their roots in absinthe, but they taste different enough from each other. Pernod is the closet to Absinthe & the company, Pernod-Ricard does, in fact, make real absinthe as well. Look up the history, it's actually an interesting story of how Pastis came about. But I digress, lol. Pastis is an anise-flavored apéritif, or apéro as the French call it, & it is a digestif (aides in digestions). It is typically drank before a meal & served over a couple ice cubes & diluted with water so that it becomes beautifully cloudy & almost a golden, iridescent yellow. Pernod is made from distillates of star anisé (on of my fave spices), fennel, & 14 other botanicals such as coriander, mint, chamomile, & Veronica to name a few. Pernod has a low licorice content which sets it apart from Ricard, which has a more pronounced licorice flavor I must say the staff here is super friendly & the female manager is the best; she always has a big smile on her face. FYI ~ if you want liquor in VA you must purchase it from the ABC store aka Alcohol & Beverage Control Authority.

There's no getting away from the inevitable government run nonsense. Yet if you're in Virginia, not a lot of choices. Actually they do have a decent selection.

If you're unsure of which to get, they always provide guidance. Please don't drink and drive,
