“Local institution doing wine, cheese and beer justice. Fair warning - never been able to visit without spending money. Pro tip - if you see them, grab a baguette and look through the left over cuts of cheese to try something amazing.”
“Great wine shop with an excellent selection and super friendly staff. Renee helped me find the perfect bottle and made the whole experience enjoyable. Will definitely be back!”
“Greetings! I like the selection of wines at this store. They sell a nice variety of sweet wines, which are my personal favorite. The store is clean and well stocked and questions asked are answered thoroughly.
The reason I did not give the store 5 stars, however, is due to the fact that I do believe the greetings and offer of service upon arrival could be elevated to improve the experience and make the patrons visit more informative and enjoyable without the patron having to approach the employee and ask for assistance.”
“Frank and David were fantastic help! These guys definitely know their jobs inside and out. This will be my go-to store from now on. Frank was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Made all the difference for my experience here.”
“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!”
“Safe walking distance located near the hotels outside the airport. Really good selection on bourbon despite the smaller size of the store. Street parking only near the store.”
“Small but well stocked, friendly, normal prices, with some tasty deals.
Nice greeting from friendly staff set a good tone for my visit. I looked for whisk(e)y and found more interesting stuff than I could buy.
In scotch the Speyburn 10 (which is great all round and also is fun to blend with) was still on offer for less than $30. ABC isn't known for its Scotch but you can get the Ardbeg 10 on offer as well as the 5 and the Laga 8 for decent prices.
The Virginia section has some tempting stuff like the Virginia Distilling Company's Stout and Cider Cask whiskies.
While it's shelved over by the Irish whisky instead of the Canadian stuff, the Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye is here, although now everybody knows what it is and it is priced accordingly. The days of finding a 63% ABV bottle of sweet liquid prairie fire for $35 are over, sadly.
Yeah, it's an ABC. This is probably the one I have enjoyed shopping at most during my travels in Virginia.”
“Amazing selection, prices, and customer service. I needed six different wines for a Wine Tasting event on a $400 budget. The staff put together the perfect menu of reds and whites, for $391. And if you order ahead, they'll have the cart filled and waiting for you to pick-up. A+”
“I am a repetitive customer of this particular location. The staff are friendly and treat me warmly. The selection is impeccable, and the store is very sanitary.
It has a quietness about it.
When I buy alcohol, I prefer to go to Va. to do so. I recommend this establishment without reservation.
*Be aware that selection varies from ABC Store to any other ABC Store.”
“The staff are always super helpful. We use this store for our restaurant and they are great about ordering in what we need. They also have a great selection. You can always find something you didn't expect.
Still all hold true. The staff is amazing. I love this location. Found something new again today. Really couldn't ask for a better store.”
“Great selection of wine and spirits. I've found a few nice bottles of bourbon and rye here that I don't see often at the ABC stores. Staff is friendly and helpful.”

“My dog needs to take a very high dosage of a controlled substance daily. The pharmacist has been incredibly helpful in navigating the complicated process of refills that involves working closely with the vet to meet all regulatory requirements. I cannot say enough good things about him!”
“Every single worker here makes me feel like family. I love them all! It could have been a month or two and I walk in with nothing but warm words and open arms. They ask "Where have you been, I've been thinking of you!" And "How are your babies?" Among other sweet words. I have nothing but good things to say about the ABC store on Columbia Pike.”
“Decent selection and friendly staff, but parking is such a pain in this area, but that’s also true for almost all of Clarendon. Store is located on a street that is hard to turn into from almost all directions, and almost always chaotic.”

Liquor Stores
“The staff are very friendly and helpful. They're also willing to help source discounts for expensive prescriptions that aren't fully covered by a person's insurance. Highly recommend.”
“Their obviously a one-stop shop for all brands of liquor related products. Friendly and proficient, the folks at most area ABCs do a great job of keeping the stores clean, tidy and stocked.”
“I wanted to write a review about the Florist and the department. Thank you for creating a wonderful arrangement. It was very much appreciated by my coworkers. Everyone commented on how lovely they were.”
“I love this local spot. Someone called it the “Social Safeway” and honestly, they nailed it — you can’t grab a bag of chips without running into someone you know. The produce is fresh, the vibes are friendly, and the self-checkout only mildly judges you. Prices can be sneaky unless you summon the power of the Safeway app.
Rating: 5 shopping carts out of 5 ????”
“Clean little place, not much single malt collection, but they do have good Bourbon collection. Friendly staff, and while I was looking at their Bourbons, one of the associates came by and recommended Russell's Reserve. I never tried it and hope it is good.”
“All employees were super helpful tonight, but I wanted to give a shout out to Santiago in the bakery department, who decorated a birthday cake so quickly and well. Thank you so much! Wonderful experience.”
“Excellent selection and good deals without needing an app. Oddly, I checked every aisle and couldn't find any raisins. And snacks and nuts are split across 3 sections. So the layout can be a bit odd.”
“The customer service at the deli is always amazing!!
But I would like to personally acknowledge Alberto for his outstanding customer service and effort. I was extremely satisfied with my sub.”
“I’ve been coming to the brew shop since 2016 when I first moved down to the D.C. area for work.
If there is any place to go for beer in Arlington it’s this place. They always have the best selection and their staff is super helpful.
Also, special shout out to Shay who works at the Brew Shop! Shay is the single most knowledgeable person about beer I have ever met - in my entire life. He is a living, breathing encyclopedia of beer and his recommendations never fail to disappoint!”
