Modern Liquors is a small family-run craft liquor store in the DC area. Despite its size, it offers a good selection of whiskey, including some allocated bottles, at reasonable prices for the city. The store is known for its friendly staff who provide great recommendations and often host free tastings. It is dog-friendly and always has treats for pups. Customers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the variety of wines and liquors available. While prices are typical for the area and the store could expand its beer singles and smaller bottles, it remains a popular spot for locals seeking quality drinks and friendly service in a cozy setting.
I happen to pass by this store. Sam and the owner of the store were there and offered help. They told me about the store picks then offered to let me try a few. It was an awesome visit and I’ll definitely drop by again the next time I visit DC. I also got my hands on a 1792 12yr bottle. Cheers!!
