Virginia ABC Store

This location is almost like a pop-​up version of an ABC Store. Convenient for last minute provisions with basic mixers and your recognizable brands of booze for you to swill with your swell shindig. If you’re looking for unique flavors or specialty items, you might as well stick your rod in another sea. Basic, quick & convenient just like 7 – 11, but only open from 10 – 9 M-​F and 1 – 6 on Sunday.
There are nearly a dozen ABC stores in a 5 mile radius from this location so feel free to go fish in other seas. If you happen to have a little free time to go fish however, you can special order your particular poison on their website. (Special orders are not mailed to your home)

Your typical, state-​run liquor store. Average in every way. Don’t look for anything too upscale or exotic here — they don’t have it.

Fair warning to my fellow home cocktail makers: this is probably not the best place to stock your cabinet for the more rare liquors. Basics though? Most def. I found a rather large bottle (actual size will remain undisclosed!!! don’t judge!) of Hendricks gin for a rad price as did I find a variety of vermouths for fairly cheap (a small to mid sized bottle will be under $ 10).
I really came in looking for sloe gin but not only did they not have any, but no one knew what the heck I was talking about. For shame!

Run of the mill VABC store. Parking can be a bit of a pain because of the Harris Teeters next door… let me rephrase… even getting into the parking lot can be a pain.
If you drive anything other than a compact car, PLEASE DON’T here. Seriously… leave your big honkin trucks and SUVs at home… the parking spaces are simply too narrow otherwise.

You’d think they could get someone who can speak English to answer the phone.

This liquor store is decent.
They think I’m an alcoholic bc I come here once every few months and just load up on random massive ass bottles of liquor I haven’t had before. I’m just a renaissance man, okay? Its kinda cool they remember me and don’t card me anymore. Well, also since you drink at home, or pre game, it’s so much cheaper. It’s like you’re paying yourself to drink. Anyway, get bottles and predrink before you go out, and your wallet will thank you. unless you wake up naked with your wallet missing.
Anyways, the booze selection here is okay, but because it’s state run, I can’t help but feel pissed that the state is taking my money and they hold a monopoly over this crap. Hell, in New Orleans, I was able to buy hard liquor at the drugstore no problem, and it was at any time of day.
This one is closed on Sunday, so if you didn’t buy any drank beforehand, head over to Harris Teeter, and pick up beer instead.
