“I've visited this store several times, the staff is always very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! They keep the shop well stocked, I've only had one visit where I wasn't able to get my first choice. Thankfully I was able to get another item I wanted, and the staff was able to confirm another store in the area had what I originally wanted. I expect to continue shopping here. I highly recommend it!”
“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!”
“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”
“Friendly, helpful staff! The owner offered to order in a label I asked about, and directed me to a lovely option to hold me over until it arrived. 😊”
“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.”
“This is hands down my favorite beer store….ever! Every time I come to Arlington I ensure that I stop here, once for my stay and once to take it home! I wish we had a place like this in NJ! I cannot recommend this store enough!”
“awesome staff. great selection. the store is awesome definitely go here for all your alcohol needs. Even though the guy checking me out didn’t think i was 21. despite checking my I.D.I turned 21 in April. Def check it out. it’s also super close to the tempo hotel. The store does close early but it’s worth it. everyone is so nice!”
“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!”

“Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Great customer service. Excellent selection of spirits at good prices. Regular repeat customer. Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“I’ve been shopping here for many years, and it is my go-to liquor store in the DMV. The owner and staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping customers. They consistently carry an outstanding selection of rare and hard-to-find spirits, and I especially appreciate that they have the best variety of Turkish raki I’ve found anywhere in the DMV. I’ve purchased many bottles there over the years, including Turkish raki, Beylerbeyi Gobek, and have always been impressed with the quality of their products and service. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a trustworthy shop with an exceptional selection.”
“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.”
“Had to go to the lab when I was done with my daughter and I decided to have lunch they have a little cafe inside we both got steak n cheese with fries it was really tasty and we sat outside the weather was beautiful.

“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!!”
“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 !!!”
“I love Rodman’s! There is always something new to find. Their selection of coffee and tea is excellent. I also have to give kudos that they have Bethesda Bagels in the bread section now! As well as baguettes from Bread Furst. Saves me a trip. Thank you!!”
“They were well stocked but I was surprised that they didn't have chips or any munchable products so a customer could get. Its called one stop shopping. Txs though”
“Absolutely fantastic liquor store! The selection here is unmatched, with a wide variety of wines, craft beers, and spirits to suit any taste or occasion. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to offer recommendations or help you find exactly what you’re looking for. The store is well-organized, clean, and has a great atmosphere. Whether you’re stocking up for a party or looking for a unique gift, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone in DC!”
“I stopped in to buy a bottle of wine. This store was packed with people and they had a great selection of wines. I really liked how the type of wine was clearly marked by aisle,so I could find my Sauvignon blanc easily. They had quite a variety to pick from. They also had gourmet cheeses, gourmet crackers, and international candies. So, if I am in a hurry and I am making a holiday cheese board, this is a one stop shop. The prices were a little on the higher side, except for sale wines, which were very reasonable. If you are looking for wine, I would recommend giving them a try.”
