Yelp strikes again - thank you for helping me find my absolute favorite bottle shop in the DC area!…read moreThe Brew Shop is a bit out of my way, but we'll worth the trip - fantastic selection of beers of all kinds, with a interesting new options coming in every week, and really excellent organization in a nicely sized space that lets you find exactly what you're looking for while discovering fun new options too. The service is fantastic, super friendly and helpful, and I love the backstory of the founders (look it up on their website!) Anytime I have an excuse to be in Arlington, this is always one of my go-to spots.

I walked in and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of refrigerated 4 or 6 packs, unrefrigerated single and some ingredients and gear you'd need to brew your own beer. I was happy to see lots of interesting local brews and only a few from breweries I'd heard of (that's a good thing). I picked out some singles and one 4 pack. Overall, I'm a happy customer and would come here again.

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.

This place has a decent beer selection. They even sell single beers also. Not the best selection…read moreI've seen but decent enough. More IPAs than anything else. Saw only a few sours and didn't see any dark beers. They probably have some but it's got to be a small selection.

Total Wines.....meets 7-Eleven/Safeway/Giant.....meets USPS!....all under one roof!!…read more Who knew!?....You can get a Beer, Wine & a US Post Office all in one place!....And, with customer service that's 10x times better than any actual local USPS post office around. lol Great selection of alcohol with many hard to find beverage and beer choices. I mean this place is packed from wall to wall, full of libation....wine and spirits to fit anyone's liking. Also, this store contains a convenience store and USPS post office drop off that is open later than most USPS post offices around.....8pm (Mon -Fri) to be exact! Needing to get a package out to my sister for her birthday this weekend....This place saved me! Last minute, I was able to dash over to this store tonight from work and send a priority mail package late before closing their post office station at 8pm. Keep in mind that most post offices have already closed three hours ago, at 5pm. They even had mail packaging supplies, boxes and packaging tape on deck....amongst all the other convenience store items, food and wine/spirits packed in the store. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The store clerk and owners were very helpful. Not to mention, I snagged a couple of great IPAs and wine finds from their selection before leaving.. Will definitely have to return and take some time to explore more of the store's offerings .... which is just about everything under the sun!

I don't like the idea of state run stores. But, if you're in Virginia, that it what it is. This…read morestore does a pretty good job of balancing having a broad selection and having a deep selection in certain popular categories. It doesn't have the best selection of bourbon or of Irish whiskey among the ABCs, but it has a solid selection of each where you can almost always find something good. The selection of brandy/congnac is limited but it has options. If you want to go out of your way to find a specific bottle, this might not be your place, but if you're looking to buy a range of bottles for home use, a party, etc., you can find a satisfactory offering here. And, the people who work at this store are nice people who can be helpful if you ask.

This store is so on DL that it wasn't even on Yelp when I went looking for it…read more This is a hole in the wall ABC Store. It's caddy corner of the Hilton Crystal City, and it's about the size of a larger studio apartment (aka IT'S SMALL). We went there searching for White Claw ( cause of course we did), and found out that they don't have any beers for sale. They don't have any wines for sale either. Is this a thing in VA? I know beers and wines are in like supermarkets and stuff, but do they not have them in the liquor stores too? Either way, good news was that they did have tonic water and a few mixers. Picked up some tonic for my gin, and then headed across the street where I found White Claw in a 7-11 of all places. So, would definitely recommend this place is your in search of Liquor ( and it's a pretty mainstream brand) as the selection is not huge.
