Is it weird that I get excited about finding a new liquor store that recently opened? We'll…read moreprobably not since I have made it my life mission to get the VA ABC system straightened out statewide. This is a newer store that replaced the Hampton Cunningham location about .7 away. It's in a new strip off Coliseum Boulevard. Parking seemed adequate, lot clean. Exterior signage is great if in front, otherwise you cannot see from the road. The look is fresh. The interior is massive wide open using mainly exterior walls with few interior shelves. Large windows provide great natural lighting. It's a very nice upgrade compared to aging state liquor stores. Checkout has if my memory serves right three checkouts. Inventory was challenged due to the multifaceted issues in our world including glass shortage, supply chain issues, newer warehouse and driver shortage. It all adds up to pandemic problems. A surprise on the shelf was an Angles Envy Rye which is a hard to find. I did not purchase anything, but was greeted entering the store. This was a bit of a road trip for me, so I will not be back anytime soon. Recommend checking them out, but don't drive out of your way unless already in the city.

Good move on Virginia ABC moving this store back to this location. They left this location years…read moreago because a lot of other businesses did. Then came a Super Kroger Store to the area after some serious renovation went on. Other Business came back and Virginia ABC followed suit. Today marked my first time visiting and let me tell ya, the store is HUGE! Problem is, there is a lot of empty space. I just hope they take advantage of that space with more products and displays, which I'm sure they will. Now don't get me wrong, their selection is one of the best in the city. Always has been, probably always will be. I give credit to the staff, who I know personally for I use to work there. But these managers here really know how to order some products. Store always has a nice selection, and always stocked. I remember working there and seeing the products brought in, I was thoroughly impressed. Of course, being a state store, the price is always uniform regardless of the store you go too. But this store goes above the rest with the product selection. I was looking for a different bourbon to add to the collection and ran across several things I didn't have. Ended up getting a $159.00 bottle of 12 year aged Whistle Pig Rye Whiskey and it was $40.00 off! While there got a chance to talk to an old Colleague I worked with, she was AWESOME! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not giving them a good review because I use to work there, no it just this store is that good! So by this spring, the selection will be even better! Only problem is the parking look is out a bit so a lot of people pull yo right in fromt of the store, so be careful when crossing in front of the lot cause around 5 pm to about 7 the traffic is busy. Remember, look both ways! Looking forward to going back! Happy Yelping!

I'd give it 0 if I could. The Rotary and merchants abound be ashamed. Paid $200 for 2 VIP tickets…read more They had no VIP wrist bands or lanyards when we checked in. They had to go gwt us some. Never did find VIP reserved parking lot so we just parked on the street. One of the origanizers told me there was 1 sign on some street. Should have been a sign pointing to parking on every major street. They have no band, just a DJ playing crap like the cha cha slide. There is no bourbon or spirits except for one distillery and they give you little thimble tastings. 90 degrees, so sorry but I don't want to stand in the sun and drink bourbon shots. No ginger ale or ice available. Almost every beer offering is a damn IPA. 90 degrees and not one light crisp lager. The VIP food is a smattering of frozen gorcery store tub bbq on a bun with a spoonful of slaw and a spoonful of beans. The VIP tent is small with very limited seating, most of it in the sun. My group of 6 VIP ticket holders arrived at 1PM and left at 2PM. We all agreed it sucked. It was not well attended. Not surprising.

Definitely one of my favorite festivals! I love this place because its in beautiful downtown…read morePetersburg, VA and SO many vendors come out from all over. Also, you get to taste beer and wine... which is always a huge plus. I tasted so many I don't even remember them all but I know my favorite this year was one from Chesapeake, VA called Ingleside Vineyards. They had this wine with a blue crab label that was out of this world!! It was their Blue Crab Red... and it was phenomenal! I have to say, VA is starting to become a pretty large competitor in the wine community... this vineyard in my opinion is rated as one of the higher end ones that I've tasted. The food options were nice... I was a bit disappointed that Saucy's wasn't there but Wabi Sabi was and that was quite tasty. Over all, this was definitely a fantastic event and I can't wait to go again next year!
