Liquor Stores in Burke, VA

“I recently went in search of Chartreuse Green - it's a spirit used to make an iconic cocktail The Last Word - a prohibition era cocktail. Apparently, it's been somewhat of a challenge to find this spirit - as only a small amount is made by the Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in France. I happened to find several Virginia ABC Stores in the 15-20 mile range from my home - so I cruised over to snag two bottles. I could not find it on the shelf - so I checked with the staff. The Chartreuse Green was stored in the back - they promptly retrieved two bottles for me - plus I restocked my supply of Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liqueur with a fresh bottle. This particular Virginia ABC Store feels smaller than most. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good! #VirginiaABCStore”

“Quiet little store with a decent selection - docking a star because there's a few basics (like sweet vermouth) they consistently never have that the larger ABC stores do. People leaving negative reviews are ones expecting a fireside chat with the cashier about all the latest nuances of artisan liquors even though the dude is clearly not originally from this country. I hope he gets paid enough to deal with all the privileged Burke residents.”

“This has become my go to grocery store. Prices are comparable with other grocery stores, but the rewards that make it worthwhile. The produce is generally good, though there was a recent stretch a few items (staples in my house) weren't looking good. Not that I frequent it often, but the bakery is quite good too.The only other issue is the front end- they're very lightly staffed. The cashiers are all friendly, but I usually use the self checkout because there's often only one register open when I'm there.”
