Let me start off by saying that I bought Sam Adams Utopias here… Quite possibly the holy Grail of beer. Super friendly staff, decent selection of beer, wine and liquor. Did I mention they had Sam Adams Utopias?! The place is small and you could find a larger selection is elsewhere but the friendly staff is great. These are exactly the type of businesses I like to support… Which is why I just bought an ultra rare $ 300 beer from them! I’ll definitely go back.

Capitol Hill has Sneiders and Mount Pleasant/​Columbia Heights has Irving Wine and Spirit. At the corner of Mt Pleasant and Irving Street, it’s in the perfect location and has a wide selection of wine and liquor to choose from. They cramp in their goods, but this way it allows more options to choose from.

Think you can get a better deal at Costco? Think again! The same bottles of liquor are actually cheaper here. They have a fantastic selection of beers, scotch, and bourbons. And if you aren’t sure about what you want or can’t find what you want, just talk to the owner or manager. Very nice folks.

I moved to Mount Pleasant in November, and this has become my go-​to liquor store. There are a couple of reasons. First, their selection of bitters and other associated cocktail additions is unparalleled. Second, they sometimes have Great Divide beers in stock, and since Hibernation and Colette are my favorite beers, I always stop in to check. Finally, the staff is helpful and friendly, and didn’t judge me when I rolled in at 10AM to pick up negroni needs for a dinner that night.

Great shop for beer, wine, and spirits. The guys who work the counter are friendly and knowledgeable.
Modest selection (though you can find something for any taste) and tends to be about a dollar more on six packs than grocery stores, which is the reason I’m deducting a star.
That said, I’m happy to pay a buck more to support a locally owned business. Oh, and they allow dogs in!

Great business. Jesse will look out for you– got my favorite Christmas ale in December because he heard me talking about how good it is. Brought my mom in when she visited for a dinner party and he very patiently took her through his wine recommendations. The other staff is great too– and to me that is the biggest part of a great business!

So much nicer than CC Liquor, a few blocks away in Columbia Heights. Better selection of bourbon here, no plexiglass, and surprisingly, cheaper prices. My new favorite neighborhood liquor store.

Columbia Heights, Washington, DC
This is hands-​down my favorite Mount Pleasant/​Columbia Heights ilquor store. It’s not overpriced like the deVines wine store at 14th & Irving, or shady like… well all the other nearby liquor stores. In fact, it’s less expensive than several of the substantially less friendly, clean, and inviting neighborhood stores. This store is fairly small but the staff is helpful and always volunteers to look in the back or in the high shelves for whatever liquor you fancy. It doesn’t have the widest selection of whiskeys/​bourbons, or gins, but for basics/​standard liquors, it can’t be beat.

It’s a very small shop but the liquor selection’s decent and some of their pricing is pretty competitive to Schneider’s. Budding mixologists may not be able to stable all their essentials in one go here, but they do carry small quantities for the eclectic. Staff is friendly and provides phenomenal customer service. Bargain bin offers little for classier drinkers; beer fridges have a good spread and the rack and a half of wine round out their inventory.

The staff is what makes this place so great. They are always nice and willing to help and it’s really clean. I saw a complaint about a smaller selection… yes they are smaller but they do have some stored in the back, so just ask.
Tip: If you’re craving a beer and they don’t have it, just ask and they’ll order some for you. What other liquor store would do that?!

It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the guys that run this place are great. They actually have a very solid selection of beer and wine. I feel like the liquor selection is standard (it’s always had what I needed).
Best of all is the service though. Super friendly, willing to chat and answer questions. This is just the type of business that makes me love living in Mt. Pleasant.

Maybe it’s because I live above the shop, but this place is great. They have a wonderful selection of beer and wine and bring you a healthy dose of fun. The cast of characters behind the counter are what make my interactions special. Herman is great. What a spirit. He’s crazy like a shark, and knows more about DC than most people. Jesse’s great and has made some exciting changes to the place for the better. Now only if they delivered…

This is my go-​to booze store. The guys at the counter are nice, and the place stocks almost everything. They also have lots of tasty kegs and good recommendations.

I love this place. The owner is fabulous, well versed in all things beer and alcohol related. He gives you advice on beers, lets you know about upcoming beers you will be interested in, etc. They consistently have one of the best selections in town — and we have tried most beer stores! I couldn’t ask for a better beer store!

I love this place. The staff is amazing, the store is clean and the prices are reasonable. I like that staff will smile and wave at you when you come in.

Pretty good beer selection, although they clearly don’t have an experienced beer buyer, because I’ve bought some pretty bad stuff here. I would not suggest trying any microbrews from a brewery you haven’t heard of. That said, they do have plenty of decent stuff that I have heard of, for reasonable prices. They have occasional great deals on weird stuff like 24-​packs of Rolling Rock cans. Staff is friendly, although the multiple signs about how you aren’t allowed to have a conversation while they guy is checking you out are pretty odd.
Liquor selection wasn’t incredible, but prices were reasonable.

I admit that I can’t add much more to the existing reviews except to highlight some points with personal anecdotes. I agree with Nick B. that Lee Irving Liquors doesn’t have the most extensive selection but they will help you stock up on the essentials. Also, Nick B. is right about how friendly and trusting the cashiers are. They even lent their push-​cart when I purchased two cases of liquor. The prices are typical but if you plan on restocking your bar (say upwards of $ 400), don’t be shy about asking for a discount. They offered me 5% off.
3 Stars — There’s something to be said about Mount Pleasant when there’s five liquor stores within a three block radius; seven if you count the two by Tivoli Theater. I haven’t been to all local liquor stores so Lee Irving Liquor will serve as the median standard for now.

I liked this place a lot. The husband/​wife team (I’m assuming here) were really pleasant. They carry DogfishHead90 minute IPA which I adore — and it’s cheaper than what Whole Foods charges (and they are the only other place I really know of that sells it.) Since I was headed to a friend’s house I asked to buy a bottle opener — they gave me one that was dropped off for a promotion instead of selling me one (nice service there.)
I would definitely shop there again.

My new neighborhood liquor store. Not the most extensive selection out there, but that is made up by the friendliness of the people who work there. The owner is a great guy, and always chats with me and gives me advice on stuff to try. Quite a change from the liquor stores I am used to, where you get looked down upon just because you might possibly be a student.
I was actually pretty impressed with some of the beers they had, despite it being a small store. I especially liked their Belgian beers, noticing they had De Koninck, and I tried Grimbergen for the first time and really liked it.
Mt. Pleasant is a great area in which to live, and places like this are a big reason why. It’s a nice change to actually be recognized, with people who enjoy talking to you and appreciate your business.

A real favorite. Cheap 6-​packs of IPA. Friendly owner. Didn’t check for my ID, the day I had forgotten it. Always strikes up a conversation about sports, and always tells you to come back as you leave. Somehow, he knows i’m from Nebraska.
It’s the little things that count. The Redhook IPA comes out to $ 7.07 (you can see it there on the register) but the guy — the gray-​haired guy who I assume to be the owner — he always says, «Seven.» You try to give him that seven cents and he scoffs at you. «I thought we were friends,» he seems to say.
Come to the friendliest booze shoppe in town, located on the friendliest street in town, Mt. Pleasant Street. You may never go anywhere else.
