“Howdy! Ofcourse, everyone has a right to their opinion, however, as a supporter of local businesses and female entrepreneurs, I'd like to address Ms. Amy Morrow's poor review, simply because I don't want this particular opinion to deter anyone from coming to one of the most quaint local wine shops in town! As a non-biased animal lover who does NOT currently have pets, it's important to note that Southern Village is an incredibly pet friendly neighborhood and Rocks+Acid has accomodated pets and pet parents as evidenced by the Pet Friendly SIGN in front of the establishment. If you don't like pets...then perhaps consider a different venue? In addition, in the 2 years I've visited this wine shop, I have never encountered a loud or annoying pet and this seems to have been an anomaly...not the norm. The owner Paula and her team, strive to provide excellent customer service and if the dog annoyance was brought to anyones attention, it would have been addressed respectfully. There IS an eclectic variety of wine selections and the wine pour on the contrary is quite generous! And the seats? Really? You're going for wine tasting, not dinner! Whether you want to have a solo date with a good book, share some time with your partner or family, or hang out with friend,Rocks and Acid is a prime spot for great wine and a great vibe! 100% will continue going back!”
“We were so happy to find this shop after moving from NY seven years ago! We live nearly an hour away, but I try to stop in whenever I'm in the area and pick up some basics & favorites like, feta, tyropita, ION chocolates, gyro meat, etc. The owner is always so kind and often offers to help me to the car with everything whenever I have my little one with me. :)”
“This liquor store offers a wide selection of spirits, catering to various tastes and preferences. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, providing assistance in finding the right products. The store is well-organized, making it easy to navigate and locate items. Prices are competitive, and they often have promotions or discounts available. Overall, it's a great place to shop for all your alcohol needs.”
“Love this place! They have a great selection and if there is something you want they don’t have in store, they are so great to find what you want at the best price! Katherine (the manager) was so helpful and researched champagnes for me and I found the perfect option in my price range. I’ll definitely be coming here again!”
“My wife and I are fans of this ABC Store located in Meadowmont Village, just off 54 in Chapel Hill. It's clean, feels safe, and the customer service has been good on our two visits so far. This ABC Store is small compared to others, but it's had what we've wanted. My wife picked up some tequila for margaritas and I got part of my groomsmen gifts here. I think the same guy helped us both times. For the gifts, shortly after we entered, he asked us if he could help us look for anything. After telling him that I was looking for bourbon to gift to my groomsmen, he immediately had something in mind and walked us down to the shelf where bottles of Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack Double Mellowed Tennessee Whiskey sat. He said it was nice bourbon and that was good enough for me. I trusted his opinion. He sounded genuine and he's the expert, not me. We grabbed six 375 mL bottles at $18.95 each. After 7% North Carolina state tax, my total rang up to $121.66. The bottles looked nice and I thought they were an ideal gift. The employee got us a box to transport the whiskey. They reuse empty beverage boxes for this purpose, like the boxes at Costco. He got me a Suntory Whisky box that fit all six bottles perfectly. They're strict about IDs here. First thing after we entered, we were asked if we were both at least 21 and had IDs. You can't make a purchase here unless everyone in your party is at least 21 and has identification to prove it. My wife and I are from Georgia (where ABC isn't even a thing, BTW). Before ringing us up, the employee scanned the code(s) on the back of our Georgia driver's licenses. Surprisingly, in over 20 years, that was the first time I'd ever seen that done. This is one of three ABC Stores in Chapel Hill. The other two locations are at 251 Perkins Drive and 1724 Fordham Boulevard. These are part of the Orange County ABC Store network that includes eight locations total. The other Orange County locations are in Carrboro, Eno, Hillsborough, and Mebane.”
“Absolutely the best store!!! We have never been here...I cannot believe the selections and how many imported foods and drinks they have here. We will definitely go back again.”
“Great variety of liquors and very good service. The people who serve are very friendly, every time I have gone it has not taken me long to pay, the service is fast and the place is clean, good parking”
“The little boy named charlie in the produce section and salad bar was very friendly with helping me find what i needed thanks to him i was able to enjoy my night with my family”
“Great selection, really interesting asthetic (the place is like Disneyland but for groceries) and there's a beer den. People actually hang out here....at a grocery store...they hang out and have beers! It's great!!”

116 W Barbee Chapel Rd, Chapel Hill“We are all entitled to our own opinions right? Well here's mine: Location: 5Parking: 5Decor/Ambiance: 5Customer Service: 4Open 24:7 ... that's right seven days a week twenty four hours a day... and in Durham! The best thing smoking in this area. This location is always clean. And they are always stocked with everything I need. The staff is friendly and the location is kool. I'm just excited about it being open 24 hours a day. I wish the hot bar in the Asian bar was open 24 hours a day.”
“Love this store. Great selection, great customer service. One time i got a product that had mold and i returned and showed them. They apologized, let us replace it with another of same or different brand and were extremely pleasant. It wasn’t their fault, product wasn’t expired, and it wasn’t obvious or easily visible, but they did right by us with no issue. This store is super nice.”
“This Harris Teeter location offers the best subs in town, and their prices are unbeatable. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the mood for a delicious and affordable sub. Their sushi bar looks great and fresh as well. Hands down, a top notch choice compared to overpriced sub shops!”

325 W Rosemary St, Chapel Hill“A little pricey but the only place in town consistently open til 2. Accepts mobile pay. As I heard a few college students say, "they keep it nice and cool in here." Stay safe; lots of cops hang around.”
“Shop here a LOT, sometimes twice weekly, and I can honestly say that this location is really awesome - organization, cleanness, products availability, quick shelving stocking, friendliest employees ever (especially in a fresh produce, cashiers and customer service). Restrooms facilities always clean! I am at the same distance from two locations (second one is Carrmil/Carrboro/CVS plaza), but what a huge huge difference! Wanna say special thanks to the managers for running this place so smoothly.”
“Almost every time I come down to Pittsboro to visit family we make a stop here. It's either for groceries or just getting coffee! The Starbucks baristas are super friendly and the drinks always come out perfect.”
“Lovely Village District location and very nice service. They went through a bit of a renovation recently and though this is a mid-sized HT, it does include a hot bar and soup & salad bar with nice selections, as well as a fresh pizza station and a chef's station up front. And sshhh, secret: It is also one of our favorite Starbucks. Far more consistent than corporate locales lately. The baristas are always bright and cheerful, they've never once been out of anything, and they always get our orders correct. Avoid grocery if possible on weekends. Parking and aggressive driving in the lot can be a comically stressful. Also, if you are waiting in line at the register and someone offers to check you out in self checkout, decline politely. LOL. They will not actually help before getting pulled away, and you'll end up bagging and checking out yourself and will have lost your place in the other line.”
“I found their website when I was looking for a certain style Pouilly Fume online. I ended up buying a case, but then also asked Rich for some recommendations. Really good example of how a wine shop should be run...share your preferences, then rely on an expert to give you some recommendations. I've been really happy with what he's provided, I'll be ordering again.”
