“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.”
“Great homebrew and bottle shop. Free beer tastings on Friday evenings. Owner and staff were very friendly & helpful. Beautiful store and efficient setup to get what you need for a brew day. Limited unique ingredients compared to other homebrew but they offer substitutes”
“I worked with Vienna Vinter to set up a private dinner for executives. The team was incredible to work with. They recommended catering and a chef. They were easy to work with. We will definitely host an event there again.”

“It is embarrassing to admit my favored contact there knew me by voice when he came to the phone. That was my level of personal service.When I was in doubt, I would get a comment like "I got six cases for myself as the best "everyday" wine I have had."Splendid . . . .”
“Great service and the staff was so knowledgeable about all the wines. My husband and I really enjoyed the wine tasting. They had one of my favorite orange wines and so much more in store.”
“Just an hour ago, I had the pleasure of presenting wines at Verified Wines and Fine Spirits and was genuinely impressed by the experience. The community here, led by Max and his dedicated team, is incredibly welcoming — it's like being part of a family. Sharing the exquisite Salton Wines from Brazil with such enthusiastic customers on a lively Tuesday evening was a delight. The shop's pet-friendly environment adds to the charm, making it feel like a slice of wine country right here in DC. A big thank you for the wonderful experience – I'm already excited for the opportunity to come back and share more wonderful wines. And to whoever is reading this review and feeling my excitement, here are the pictures I took to document the whole experience. I will cherish this day forever!”
“I'm so impressed by MacArthur. I highly recommend!I'm not from the area, and I was searching for the perfect place to deliver a bottle of wine to my former colleague. I'm pretty particular about wine. I was searching for a great Brunello di Montalcino, and I was impressed by their selection.The cherry on top is the awesome staff. I worked with Daniel and Phil to send this gift. I felt like I was in great hands. They double checked everything with me and wrapped the gift beautifully (much better than what I could have done myself).Very professional and efficient. I will definitely be a returning customer for future DC wine/spirits deliveries.”
“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.”
“This is a good-bar that's reasonably priced. Food and service are great. Real people go hereVegetarian options: You can leave meat off some items. The Westover Melt is veggie and delish.Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in”
“Great service with a local touch. Jon and Derrick have been so helpful getting what I need and even recommending vendors to help with a needed repair to our wine cellar AC unit. Friendly, small-town service with big-city stock, what else could you ask for? (OK, maybe parking Lol)”
“I love this place. I can get craft beer and Asian candies at the same spot, and pair it with Belgian lambics. K-1 is a global market to service your refined snacking and drinking needs. They even do postal service and lottery games. Don’t miss out!”
“Wide variety of fine wines and spirits. Staff is friendly and very helpful. They have a lot of expensive stuff so might not be the best if you’re looking for a $10 bottle of wine (for that there’s Streets Market next door). But if you’re looking for something special then Georgetown Wine & Spirits is the right place. As somebody who primarily drinks water, juice, tea, and beer, the folks in Georgetown Wine & Spirits Ware a lifesaver with recommendations. Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed.”
“It's still five stars here, and they also opened the nearby Sara's Market. Love them both. But now the "food desert" aspects of Georgetown have improved since my previous review. We got our Whole Foods back (although it is mechanized, so the ambience sucks), and Trader Joe's opened, as did Wegman's and Streets. So there is competition, definitely, but this little corner shop still has my heart.”
“I try to make it a habit of spending my money in small businesses and when I came across Norms beer and wine I think 20 years ago I began shopping in his store. I discovered all kinds of wonderful beers and he even had a Beer Brewing news magazine. While looking through the magazine I discovered a tournament of beers. I immediately went ahead and played the tournament trying all the beers against each other and I came to discover that Old Chubb Scotch Ale was the best of them all. Thank you Norm. There was even a time that my wife and I would buy 30 packs of Strohs or Old Milwaukee for $15.99 Get to know Norman the owner. He is a small business operator & a good man.”
“I've been here a couple times. It's a small place with great service. The deli is excellent. I recommend the Reuben with no modifications.On one occasion, my card was unexpectedly declined; the cashier was very gracious and took care of the next customer at the second register while I sorted out the issue, so I didn't suffer any further embarrassment OR hold up the line. I really appreciate that level of service.”
“This shop has an actually remarkable selection of wines. From affordable options under $15 to exquisite and unique expressions from around the world. I was blown away by the options and the care and thoughtfulness in their selection”

“I have lived at Dolley Madison for over 20 years and love this market. Its small, but for its size, they have a good variety of items. One thing I would like to see them do is yank out the Blue Bunny Ice Cream, errr Blue Bunny Frozen Dairy desert freezer and sell REAL ice cream, and not the frozen dairy desert garbage. I have a recommendation, a brand that is local to the east coast, been around for years and really needs more places in NoVa to carry the brand.HERSHEYS ICE CREAM.Its REAL Ice cream, they have great ice cream, and ice cream novelties. They have a great variety of products and with the limited amount of places that sell it, if you were to sell it and word got out, it will sell, it will be a successful switch. Look at Vienna Drug Store. They are ALWAYS. selling out of MANY of the most popular varieties. I know because I usually buy them out of some of their products on a regular basis. Please support an ice cream company that still believes in ICE CREAM and not one of the many "Frozen Dairy Desert" Companies. But great store, friendly people, good prices and they pack a lot in such a small space.”
“Finally stayed to eat here after years of always grabbing beer to go.The upstairs is a whole other world, very formal dining room feel with a laid back (but also somehow elevated) menu. The food was great and the beer menu is huuuuuge.A helpful tip, so you don't wander around lost like I did, the bathrooms are above the dining room accessed from stairs in the back of the dining area.Only gripe is that I wish they had a slightly bigger dessert menu but the ice cream sandwich slices were delicious.”

“Great selection of east European beer and spirits! Purchased various Serbian and Croatian spirits for an enthusiast’s liquor collection. Gabe was very down-to-earth and helpful.NOTE: Parking was a pain, as to be expected in downtown DC. I used a nearby parking garage and paid $15 for less than an hour’s worth of parking.”
“A big THANK YOU to everyone at Arrowine for a seamless online holiday ordering experience. And special thanks to Mr. Hassen for helping me choose some excellent wines this morning for a dinner party (and as an aside, kudos for his deft handling of a rather unprofessional customer). Five stars for quality and service.”
“Located on a quiet, pretty street in a beautiful part of Arlington, this shop has a wonderful wine selection. The staff are kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and go above and beyond. They do wine tastings on Fridays, which is very nice. I love this shop!”
“Incredible variety and selection of beer and wines, organized in a way to make finding what you're looking for easy. Also enjoy following Talbert's on Instagram where they post all the latest/unique offerings.”

“Their staff are friendly and helpful. Great selection of wine, beer, and at great prices. Have some great quirky foods items. The downstairs is a dream of kitchen utensils, aprons, glasses, soaps, brooms, bags, etc., and etc. They also have lunch bags, snack bags, sand, cooler bags, and so much more! Happy Shopping”
“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!?”
“Shocked!! Stopped by to pick up a few bottles before my parents arrived in town,I grew up in the SF Bay Area, close to Napa, Sonoma, and Lodi. We usually bought wine at the wineries. Well... I'm just about out of my CA stash,The lady at the shop was super helpful, helped me choose whites and reds. We opened a bottle from Cline, I did not have high hopes. It said Contra Costa on the bottle (where I grew up!). Anyhow, it was fabulous and only $16.99.I am looking FWD to trying the rest and going back!!BTW... sandwich shop is delicious (a few doors down) and bread shop is great too. Lots of little gems in the neighborhood”
“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”
“17Aug.2022..I was here last yr and no idea why Google maps doesn’t have my review up here. Anyway Class VI is completely stocked at all times and always having some up-to-date new spirits in stock. Absolutely love, love, love this spot for all of my snacks and spirits purchases.”
“You can't really beat the selection of craft beer and domestic and international wines on offer here. Most importantly for me you can really customize your beer experience in particular, building your own six pack or just trying one beer from a pack and come back for that four or six pack if you liked it. No other place really allows you to do that so Total Wine will always be one of the best places to enjoy craft beer - and wine too!”
“A true local gem of a liquor store. The Indian guys who run this joint is extremely helpful. honest and frugal. They get the best deals from the wholesalers and pass it on to the customers. Best liquor store in DC. Hands down!”

“So I purchased a bottle of bourbon, and they gave it to me in a paper bag. It was raining pretty hard, and on the way to my car the paper bag got wet enough where just as I was getting in the car, the bottom of the bag fell out and the bottle smashed on the pavement! It was the worst thing, standing there in the rain looking at broken glass and smelling the bourbon I just bought!I picked up all the glass and cradled it in what was left of the wet paper bag and walked back to the store, just to use their trash can and let them know what happened. Was not expecting anything, but the gentleman at the desk said they should have double bagged it or used plastic because it was raining. And then they grabbed me a replacement bottle from the shelf! I asked if they were sure, and they assured me they have procedures for things like this and they just need to fill out some paperwork on their end. They needed the cap of the broken bottle with the tax tag as well, which luckily I had brought in with the rest of the broken glass.Aside from that one off story, it's an easy store to navigate and everyone has been friendly and helpful. I will try to make this my regular store in the future!”
