My local beer run spot which serves its purpose, to get beer. The staff never really initiates conversation like I’m used to in more liquor stores.(Star, Total, etc.) I always like to talk and get recommendations on new stuff to try, but I usually wait for someone to ask me if I need any help before getting into this conversation. Being a craft beer drinker, this store does NOT have a very wide selection but they do carry the more common craft brews. If your looking to grab a quick bottle of wine, a bottle of liquor, or a case of beer and already know what your looking for, ABC serves its purpose well. If your like me then your better off traveling over to Total Wine.

Decent place to get beer, wine and hard liquor – but It is no Total Wine. If you know what you are looking for and need to do a surgical strike for commonly found beer or spirits in West Boca, than this a great choice. However, if you are looking to peruse and want a great variety to choose from or looking for something a bit off the beaten path, than you are likely going to be disappointed.

If you are a wine lover or if you need a great and special wine, Ask for Vilo! that guy is a gem! he knows everything about wine. I only shop there

A mildly decent alternative after Total Wine. Their selection is fine, but let’s cut the sh*t, their selection is inferior to the Home Depot of Wine & Beer, that is Total Wine. Their prices are also more due to the fact they’re not being in the same amount of volume. As a consumer, we care about three things, selections, availability and price. If you’re in need of scooping up a bottle of wine right before dinner, then ABC will serve you fine. This location doesn’t have the most friendliest people working there, especially the older manager who looks like the guy who managed Ivan Drago. He always has a remark about how much better his store is, yet why am I spending $ 4 more for this Cigar City bottle of beer? When I told him the reality, he said«well you don’t have to buy it.» You’re right, I don’t and you don’t have to be such a commie d*ckhead either. Don’t tell me why your pinot noir selections are better. Just put on a smile and guide me to that area and I’ll decide. I can learn more from watching Sideways than whatever crap you’re trying to sell me. This isn’t Inception pal, I’ll make my own choices. You and your inflated ass prices can chill. But keep slanging Zima’s to those high school boys. We all know how Rocky IV ended.

No longer the only box house in town. In truth, this USED to be my favorite store. Close to home/office and with a decent selection — it was my go to source. I now find myself driving further(considerably!) away to TOTALWINE because of their selection and pricing. Mind you, ABC is amazing compared to the typical wine shop. They’ve bargain items as well as the top shelf product. However, and while the staff is great, the sheer volume at TW outstrips ABC’s merchandising efforts and, on that alone, a trip usual yields not only incredible«finds», but experimentation due to the buying power and size of their competitor. I’m likely to be back if I’m in a hurry and low on gas. Otherwise — apologies to ABC — you’re just not priced or product-available like the big boys are!

My initial excitement of discovering some Block wines and bringing home some other recommendations, has been tempered by the fact I found them largely to be disappointing. Accordingly, I am reducing my earlier 4-star rating to 3 stars.

This location is just like all the other ones: prices are decent but they lack in product variety. This place doesn’t even compare to Wine and Spirits on Military by the mall, which has better prices as well. The workers are helpful and all but this isn’t the place to go if you’re looking to buy a large amount of alcohol or if you’re looking for something that’s somewhat difficult to find.
