“This place was for My Aunt, not me, I don't drink liquor, wine or any alcohol, but the lady there today was very nice so I'll post it and give it five stars because of the awesome customer service she had.”
“Best liquor store in Downtown D.C.!! The staff at this store are great. They're so friendly that sometimes I stop by just to say hi. Imperial always has a deal going on whiskey and bourbon. And the last time I was here they gave me a good price on a bottle of Kentucky Rye. If you're looking for a store to get your liquor I definitely recommend you give Imperial a try.”
“This place treated us like sisters. We felt like family each time we walked into the smiling faces of the gentleman who represent Eighth Street Fine Wines and Liquor very well. If you’re looking for a place that’s going to treat you like family, as they did for us by putting the wine we drank in the refrigerator so it would be ready for us each night we were in town, this is the place to be!”
“Absolutely love coming here for lunchtime , It's just a 5 to 10 minute walk to and from the jobsite and the sandwiches are delicious.
I personally recommend the Monument (If you're big like me ? / also get it with the pickle on the side, their pickles are really good too.) or the Chicken salad for something lighter.
They have plenty of drinks and snacks available as well, which is perfect for these scalding hot days that've been hounding down on everyone around the Navy Yard.
100% Recommend visiting and trying out their sandwiches or other Menu items when you're around!”
“This my store now they have good sandwiches. I had the chicken salad and turkey sandwiches. Both are good for sure and they will feel you up. Great prices for a heavy sandwich. Good job ??”
“They have great prices. Super friendly and helpful. It’s been times I didn’t know what I wanted. They stayed patient and made sure I left out happy with my purchase. This my go to tobacco shop. 10 out of 10??”

“Started off with the boys the 6 nips for 18, ended up being homies no dooooooooubt. Top tier operation with Pops & the nephews, hands down one of the best liquor stores in DC. This is Columbia Heights family frequency where ya gotta have a rapport - if you're a real one they'll look out for yins breh......SIMPLE AS THAT. God bless (I tell them every time).”
“Jay was so very nice, patient, and helpful with the liquor selection. I tend to be rather indecisive and his confidence and knowledge for the spirits made it a quick, informative and even funny visit.”
“It took longer to park the car than for the taking of the picture. Excellent job by a knowledgeable photographer, for passport renewal. He also showed me a stunning portrait he had created for someone else, from a tiny 4”x6” photo.
Professional, courteous and talented”
“If you’re tired of the same generic liquor store experience, this place is a breath of fresh air. Exotic Wine & Spirits has an impressive selection that goes beyond the basics unique bottles, quality wines, and spirits you don’t usually find unless you really go looking.
The staff actually knows what they’re talking about and doesn’t rush you out the door. Whether you’re planning an event, picking up something special, or just exploring new flavors, they’re helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly.
Clean, well organized, and thoughtfully stocked. You can tell care went into curating the selection not just filling shelves. This is the kind of store you come back to because you trust the recommendations.
Highly recommend if you appreciate variety, quality, and good service without the attitude.”

“Great store with a curated selection of wine and beer (and liquor, obviously). The wine selection tells you that they know what they're talking about. Service here is always friendly and fast. Very clean and brightly lit store as well.”
“Andy was super helpful. I was sent here by my husband to purchase Elijah Craig 18. They didn't have it, but Andy helped me select a comparable bottle for a retirement gift.”
“Adorable neighborhood grocery. I go for the smoked whitefish salad and Kewpie mayo. I have also been known to pick up last minute hostess gifts here. Great selection!”
“I live in the neighborhood and its great having a local store to patronize. The owner and staff are friendly and store is clean and well organized. Please patronize this business so their success is guaranteed!”

“I’ve lived in the area for about 2 years and I’ve gotten nothing but exceptional customer service. One thing I do love about this place is how they try to get to know their customer so it’s more like a family place.”
“This is one of my favorite gems in DC!! Every sandwich is made with love and is absolutely delicious. The workers are incredibly friendly. They have a great selection of wine, pasta, sauce etc. Everything you need!! Truly 10 out of 10 every time I walk in here!!”
“Only place in S.E D.C you should be buying your alcohol from. Its not just the prices but the quality. While other businesses sell flat unopened beer. LAX provides cold refreshing beverages that help escape the humid D.C heat.”
“I just started to go to this place and I am kind of beer snob, first you get some much knowledge second they have amazing collection and third I can see on Untapped what beer they have. So when I want something that I already know what I want am in 3 min out , so much they need to see if they have on the stock bringing and paying . Only problem is you get used to this service and you don’t go anywhere else . I got even I Tipp if I am in NYC where to go !!!”
“Great price, can never find the same for the price they have and great selection of products you are not coming back without what u want, and the staff are really really helpful. MUST VISIT.”

“This place is an absolute vibe! 🍾 They have literally everything in stock—even the rare drinks you see trending on TikTok. Prices are actually reasonable, and the staff is super chill and gives the best recommendations. 10/10. 💯”
“The selections AND the staff is top notch! They’re always courteous and pleasant!! I come here mainly for the Cutwater Espresso Martini because they’re one of the few spots in the area that has it.”

“Ordering was easy and delivery very fast. This was a gift of prosecco sent to friends in DC. We did not realize that a photo id was required at delivery. We were unable to contact recepient and so delivery person was not able to complete delivery. We are now hoping to have it delivered when we can confirm someone will be home to provide id.”
“I haven’t visited Liquor King in person yet, but I feel like a VIP customer every time I order! Their online ordering and delivery service is fantastic — reliable, easy, and always handled with professionalism and the prices are very competetive! If something is out of stock, they call right away, and they’re consistently respectful and helpful on the phone.
The delivery personnel are prompt and courteous, and everything arrives exactly as expected. Their wine selection is excellent, and I appreciate that they carry the specialty items I use for baking as well as the occasional bottle of wine.
Liquor King has become my go‑to shop because they make every interaction feel smooth and personal. Highly recommended! Thank you! 🧡”
