“I went to buy some champagne to celebrate my anniversary. The most lovely person working there helped me pick the BEST picnic goodies for a 10/10 celebration! I will be going back to try all their cheese, crackers, wine (of course), and accessories! Can’t speak higher about their service and help. Thank you Wine Gallery 108!”
“Very nice, relaxing atmosphere. The staff was knowledgeable of the selection of wines, and the restaurant attached was quaint and intimate. Great place to go for date night or a night on the town.”

4349 Duke St, Alexandria“It doesn't matter what day or what time I visited the store, the staff is always bright, friendly, polite and helpful. The young gentleman cashier today with the dreadlocks smile was so bright that it changed my attitude and mood. Always a wonderful experience at this location!”
“When I signed up for a wine tasting at Total Wine to find options for my wedding, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew they often had free samples at the store, and so I imagined the experience would be similar. I brought a friend with me to help get a balanced perspective, and we both were blown away by how professional, thorough, and fun the tasting was. It felt like we were at a winery except we got to try more wines, and the choices were based on our preferences. Toby, the staff member who helped us, did an incredible job helping me to find wines that tasted great and fit my budget. My guests enjoyed the wines too, especially one of the reds that was one I would never have tried if he hadn’t suggested it (Anastasia 9). The prices were reasonable and I ended up buying all of the beer and hard cider for the wedding at this location as well. I would definitely recommend you check it out if you are planning a wedding reception or similar large event.”
“Legit ABC store!Walked in, was greeted quickly, and bounced ideas off the staffer. Ended up with a glorious bottle, and threw it in my bag like a hobo. Credit accepted. Easy parking, though not a lot. There's more parking at the shopping center next door.”
“Nice lil corner ABC outside of Old Town. Especially convenient when leaving work on a Sunday and need to make it by 6. Lol they are always in good spirits, no pun intended, even in the last 5 minutes of a short work day. Thank you staff!”
“What a fantastic store with so many treasures. Yes it's a little chaotic with unpacked inventory and higgledipiggely shelves, but it feels like an adventure with lots of precious things to find. I'm a fan”
“Even though it's hard to get to from my house due to the layout of Route 1, I make the extra effort to strictly shop at the Department of Beer and Wine. The store is meticulously clean, well organized and carefully curated. The staff are incredibly helpful and offer great recommendations and have outstanding customer service and knowledge of the products they stop. They have growlers you can fill with beers on tap and a wine and beer of the month subscription service that I did for several years, based on the government pay scale system, which was clever for the area. They have great snacks, gifts and non-alcoholic drinks. In fact, my favorite NA tea is based on a recommendation from this store. It's very family and neighborhood friendly and they support a local artisan bread maker and other small businesses. Please support this amazing wine and beer shop!”
“I can only speak to the craft beer portion. But because they're part of the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, they receive some truly rare beers that not even the best beer shops can get their hands on! Prices are fair. Staff is very knowledgeable.Recommendation is to open up more of their selection to both The Front Porch and Evening Star Cafe”

3690 King St J, Alexandria“I don’t know a lot about wine but wanted to bring something to a party that would make it seem like I did. :)The staff was SO friendly and knowledgeable and walked me through many unique options at all price ranges.I’ve been other places that look down on you if you don’t speak “wine language” My experience at Unwined was completely opposite of that! I got the best recommendations really enjoyed my shopping experience there.I felt confident about the selections I brought to the party and also picked up some fantastic craft beers and some gourmet foods to try.I will definitely be back! This is a great place to run into if you need to grab a gift for someone as well.”

Always clean and well lit. Great selection as well. Anything you may be looking for to make drinks will be there!”
“Stopped in for some long drink. Spent time tasting things. Loved the chiller machine at front that they let us use to cool out purchase so it was ready to consume when we got home. Nice touch.”
“I ran in this location to grab something for a friend. The staff was nice and helped me find it. It’s a smaller store but had what I needed. No complaints from me”
“I have been to countless ABC stores in my lifetime, and I have never visited an ABC store and received the exemplary customer service like that I did from the Kingstowne ABC store from Amy. Amy was so amazing and the recommendations she made were EXCELLENT! I look forward to coming back and getting more recommendations from her! Thank you for being so great, Amy!”
“Expensive. Little choice. This is because Virginia has a state monopoly on alcohol. In neighboring states [DC, Maryland] there is more choice and prices are lower (competition). Delaware has no competition, since there is no sales tax”
10AM - 10PM
5940 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria“For people looking for whiskey they are have good selection but hard to find bottles are hit and miss. I got a John J Bowman single barrel for $60 after tax and it is well worth it! Not available where I am from but just sitting on the shelf here”
10AM - 9PM
3161 Duke St, Alexandria“I stopped by because my wife had an eye appointment. Not a lot on the shelves. Very standard. Nice staff, and your normal selections. I wonder what they'd get during a drop”
“Without a doubt one of the best ABCs around!! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable on the products sold. Except for that one time, but we're not going to count that against them. Always random finds (gems) and great conversations. Only wish it was closer haha, but that's just me being selfish.”

7900 Fort Hunt Rd, Alexandria“I recently shopped at Safeway on Fort Hunt Road and had a great experience. The store consistently offers excellent deals on chips, which is a nice bonus. Their member prices for all goods are very reasonable, making it easy to save on everyday items. The store itself is clean and well-organized, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Overall, this Safeway location provides great value and a pleasant shopping experience. Highly recommended!”
“Super friendly folks running this little Cafe in town. We had a blast visiting. The white latte was a bit too sweet for my friend. But overall it was a good experience.”
“They always run random deals, they have free mini Mondays, and the staff is great. They are always friendly when I go. This is a great place you can run in and out, don't have any problems here.”

7905 Hilltop Village Center Dr, Alexandria“I had The Gathering Catering package at work last month. I normally don't care for a pinwheel, but Wegman's pinwheel with Caesar salad was delicious!!I enjoyed the nice lemony dressing with Romain lettuce. the mini croissant sandwiches had very good flavor. I am not big on finger food, but I couldn't get enough of it. I am definitely going to use them for catering from now on.”
“I walked over here for lunch and it's situated about 4 blocks from my office. My initial thought was to purchase one of those prepared delis sandwiches. I've had their Italian and turkey 8" sub sandwiches from here before, and their food has always been delicious. At right around 12 noon they apparently had not yet prepared any sandwiches for the day. While I was around the deli section I did notice several prepared pizzas, and they looked too delicious to pass up today. Allen from the pizza section provided me with exceptional service today, and it was apparent that he was mighty proud of the pizzas that he prepared personally. He described the supreme pizza and it sounded like something that my stomach was waiting for! He went out of his way and heated up 2 of the supreme pizza slices and then boxed them up for me. I took them to my office, and I actually had not had pizza that delicious inquire some time!”

“The perfect local market deli spot for fresh sandwiches, salads, and all the snacks. They also have a large selection of awesome beers and unique wines. Grab & go or relax inside or outside with the seating available - and you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer! They even do incredible catering - sandwich platters, brownie & cookies, and extravagant charcuterie boards. Great staff, great vibes.”
