Ace is absolutely THE BEST place to purchase beverages for events in the DC metro area. Period. They are professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, incredibly nice, and they genuinely care about the customer. I've now enlisted their help for a rehearsal party, a wedding, and two large funerals. All were catered and involved several vendors and moving parts. You know who was the easiest to work with? Ace. How it works? You call them and say you're having a party and what you think you'll need. They'll provide excellent recommendations, not just what wines and liquors (good quality and reasonably priced), but also how much. Then you tell them when you want it delivered and for a nominal fee, they drop it off - on time, no fuss, and efficiently. Best part - if you happen to be the kind of person (like me) that worries obsessively you won't have enough of [enter anything here] so you always order too much? No big deal. Ace accepts unused items for return and makes it so easy. All you have to do is make sure that labels aren't wet or warped (very reasonable) and either arrange for a pick up or drop them off (tip: arrive at least 15 min before closing bc they will unload for you). Finally, they are great people running a great business. They've called me to follow up on things I've forgotten (like a cc for a refund), which is just amazing. :)

Great help, not overselling, I asked for wine with pizza and he offered a cheaper portugese blend wine which was perfect!!! They could improve their beer selection, I can help!?

Great selection of rums and cordials. Found interesting things like Maggie’s Farm falernum and PF Yuzu curaçao.

We used Ace Beverage for our wedding at the recommendation of our caterer, and we're so happy we did. Alina's wine recommendations were fantastic, including my favorite Sauvignon Blanc I've ever had. We have some family and friends who seriously know their wine, and even they were impressed. The whole process was smooth, and it's great that Ace will buy back leftover alcohol. Of course, we had to keep some of the leftover bottles for personal use. :) Thanks, Alina!

There must have been a change in the ownership of this store because we have gone from getting great service over the past 14 years, to right down bizarreBehavior. My husband placed an order for 2 cases of champagne. The same champagne was 20$ less down the street. We cancelled the order. We had not been told the order had a cancelation fee when the order was placed. Had to call twice to get status on the refund. The owner was not happy. Told me I would be responsible for the CC fee(???). Some 60$. I understand the disappointment of loosing a 3000$ sale but there is a way to handle customers. We have been customers of this store since 2011! Spent literally tens of thousands of dollars with them since we entertain a lot. Would you think there was an ounce of consideration for aLong term customer ? None. And the guy hungup on me. Seriously…. Take prosaic dude or take a few sips of your booze ? and get off your customers throat.

Ace did the alcohol at our wedding and it was completely hassle-free - emailed them with a headcount, suggested a few refinements and additions, put down a deposit, and paid for what got used night of. They coordinated with our planner/caterer to completely handle pick up and dropoff, and we didn't even have to think about it day-of. Strongly recommend doing this and leaving it to the professionals instead of giving yourself the work of a few Costco trips or something.

I made the trip to Ace from Alexandria for the first time yesterday, and it was well worth the 25 minute drive. Their selection is excellent, prices are competitive, and it was great to finally be able to fill in some gaps in my collection with bottles I've been wanting, but VA's ABC stores don't carry. If you're a Tikiphile in NoVA, do yourself a favor and check out Ace. And thank you to the dude who helped me by offering to take my armload of bottles to the register. Your help and humor were appreciated. I'm sorry I didn't catch your name, friend!

Great shop for a large selection. It's not the flashiest store out there but their selection is pretty amazing, especially for rum!

One of the best liquor stores in the Washington DC area for craft cocktail bartenders/ home bartenders. They’re extremely helpful and resourceful and will often go out of their way to accommodate you.

Whoever is picking out the tequila is doing an amazing job. It's a small selection but the choices are one of the strongest I've seen in the tri-state area. I was surprised to find a high-quality selection of ArteNom, Don Fulano, G4, Mijenta, and Fortaleza. There is also a selection of more popular tequila that the average tequila drinker would be looking for. I will be back!

Ace handled the alcohol for my wedding a couple of years ago and I've been a regular customer ever since. Alex and his team are knowledgeable, friendly, and really go out of their way for their customers. And Alex is consistently keeping tabs on new and interesting products to hit the market. I think Ace has the best selection of spirits in the DC area and the offerings are priced reasonably. I could not recommend Ace more enthusiastically.
