“Nice selection of Scotch whiskies. Rates were reasonable too. Found what I needed. I like the way they greet you at the door and say thank you when you leave. Keep it that way.”
“I worked with Vienna Vinter to set up a private dinner for executives. The team was incredible to work with. They recommended catering and a chef. They were easy to work with. We will definitely host an event there again.”
“I try to make it a habit of spending my money in small businesses and when I came across Norms beer and wine I think 20 years ago I began shopping in his store. I discovered all kinds of wonderful beers and he even had a Beer Brewing news magazine. While looking through the magazine I discovered a tournament of beers. I immediately went ahead and played the tournament trying all the beers against each other and I came to discover that Old Chubb Scotch Ale was the best of them all. Thank you Norm. There was even a time that my wife and I would buy 30 packs of Strohs or Old Milwaukee for $15.99 Get to know Norman the owner. He is a small business operator & a good man.”
“went in today to find some beer as a gift and the person working was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable!! they have an awesome selection and the vibes just can’t be beat !!”

11725 Lee Hwy, Fairfax“Let's be honest here its the ABC store why would anyone put up less than 5 stars. You know why you're going here, and you can't exactly complain about prices when these stores are state run and therefore the price is literally out of the people working theres control.”
“Shocked!! Stopped by to pick up a few bottles before my parents arrived in town,I grew up in the SF Bay Area, close to Napa, Sonoma, and Lodi. We usually bought wine at the wineries. Well... I'm just about out of my CA stash,The lady at the shop was super helpful, helped me choose whites and reds. We opened a bottle from Cline, I did not have high hopes. It said Contra Costa on the bottle (where I grew up!). Anyhow, it was fabulous and only $16.99.I am looking FWD to trying the rest and going back!!BTW... sandwich shop is delicious (a few doors down) and bread shop is great too. Lots of little gems in the neighborhood”
“Customer service was ? they were very nice easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the liquor they sell. Price were pretty decent also, I appreciate all of it!”
“The Manager at this store, his name is Nilesh, the best ever. His customer service standard and quality out of 5 is 10. That’s how much I rated him. ABC is lucky to have him.”
“I was looking for a specific Vodka, which they did not have on the shelf. The Lady who worked there was very helpful in finding a "nearby" store which had the item in stock and also didn't hesitate to call them to make sure it is in the store. I will definitely go back to this location. She said that they usually have that item or could order it. I just loved the customer service.”
“Good ABC store. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. I called the store several hours after a product drop and they were helpful to tell me what products were still available. The customer service here is great. Would recommend coming to the store.”
“Love this store; always friendly & helpful guys available to help! However today we encountered a female employee here that was not helpful or friendly and totally rude with no social skills @ all; she even refused to sack purchases!”
“The wine store has been emptied out and now for pick ups. It is still apart of the bigger Wegmans on site, which is still one of the best grocery stores in the area.”
“I don't drink that much, but when I need something, I'm usually unsure of what I want so I need to ask. The staff at this location has always been exceptional. One of the managers there is probably the most knowledgeable guy I've met when it comes to understanding what you're looking for.Quick convenient location, great staff of people, and a good quality of selection. I would recommend this location.”
“Today I stopped by looking for a high quality gin for an event. The very knowledgeable clerk was able to talk about the most expensive gin, and most unique gin (gunpowder) and the smoothest and best tasting. His recommendation for best tasting was half what I was planning to spend. Thanks!”

8951 Ox Rd, Lorton“The selection is great for Virginia (nearby states have much better selections, especially for allocated whiskey) and the staff are very nice and helpful. This is a great Virginia ABC compared to the other stores near Lorton or Woodbridge,”
“This place was neat, clean, friendly. I will say they could have better deals. Maybe like a 30% discount? Maybe a veterans discount? Maybe a college student discount?”
10AM - 9PM
10685 Braddock Rd, Fairfax“Needed a couple of specialty items for the 2023 Autumn/Halloween/Pumpkin Cocktail season - and the Virginia ABC Store at University Mall was the only Virginia ABC Store in the area that had a quantity of the Crop Harvest Earth Organic Spiced Pumpkin Vodka in stock! So - drove over from Haymarket to snag a bottle - along with a bottle of Bols Pumpkin Spice Liqueur (which seems to be more broadly available). Paid with Apple Pay and was on my way! #VirginiaABCStore”
“They receive from 5:00 am, enter through the first street on the left, drive to the patio, if you see a free dock, park at once, then enter, sign, put PO number and arrival time, leave the papers together with the signal, once downloaded go in to look for your papers..”
“This is my 2nd time here. The first time, was 2 years ago, I needed a couple of travel size bottles for the White Elephant gift. A lady showed me where they were. This time, I needed to get some Carolan Irish Cream for brownies. The lady there showed me where they were. I'm so happy they gave them in different sizes... 750ml $15.99 and 1 liter $19.99. The 750ml was in sale for $13.99, $2 off!! It was a little cheaper than the 1 liter bottle, so I bought 2 750ml. Will post brownies pictures later. ? The Irish cream brownies recipe is... 1 part water = 1.5 to 2 parts Carolan Irish cream. 2 parts will make the brownies very moist. You will be about to smell and taste the Irish cream if you use Carolan. Don't waste your money using Bailey's. I have already done that, and couldn't smell it taste the Irish Cream. I was told never use expensive liquor for cooking or baking. I used Tennessee Legend cream liquor before and it has a sweeter liquor taste, and make great brownies, too. I got them in TN near Gatlinburg, and we're $24.99 a bottle. If you are in the area, definitely pick some up there. They make great brownies like Carolan, with a different flavor.”
“I went to pick up a couple bottles of Evan Williams egg nog for my mother and law. I have always found the service at the ABC stores to be excellent and the Fredericksburg location was no different. Great job ABC.”
“Staff usually friendly and helpful, however, my cashier was very deadpan and seemed very disinterested in any interaction or comments on purchase. Grant it busy before the holiday and he also has to size people up. Seemed the same with the person behind me. But overall a fine experience”

9575 Braddock Rd, Fairfax“The ABC store on Braddock isn’t the largest of the local ABC stores but it is my go-to shop. There’s no problem finding the basics and for the harder to find items, the super friendly and cheerful, curly-haired manager always takes the time to help me search—in the store or on the computer. I love stopping by and always run into other KPW neighbors there. It’s like a party before the party! Highly recommend!”

9600E Main St, Fairfax“I came in here around Christmas looking for Baileys S a gift. I had picked up a bottle and the man working pointed me to a gift package with a cup in it for the same price. He was extremely helpful. I'm not sure if he was the owner or just someone working there but he was an Asian gentleman. Very helpful.”

Def will be coming back for another wonderful experience.”
“new management has been so amazing these past two weeks. new owner has been great and customer service has been so wonderful. food has been freshly stocked and coffee has been warm and fresh every morning.”

10308 Willard Way, Fairfax“Well it's my local liquor store it's always good to know the staff joke around with them and they'll show you the best specials and things on sale that you might not see or know about.”
“I recently went in search of Chartreuse Green - it's a spirit used to make an iconic cocktail The Last Word - a prohibition era cocktail. Apparently, it's been somewhat of a challenge to find this spirit - as only a small amount is made by the Carthusian monks of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in France. I happened to find several Virginia ABC Stores in the 15-20 mile range from my home - so I cruised over to snag two bottles. I could not find it on the shelf - so I checked with the staff. The Chartreuse Green was stored in the back - they promptly retrieved two bottles for me - plus I restocked my supply of Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liqueur with a fresh bottle. This particular Virginia ABC Store feels smaller than most. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good! #VirginiaABCStore”

9130 Mathis Ave, Manassas“The young lady working this morning was very sweet and went above and beyond. I have a cane and she even offered to bring my order to the curb so I can pull up and she put it in the back seat.”
“A nice beer and wine store on the 28 side of Manassas, located in the Mega Mart shopping plaza. A nice alternative to Total Wine on the other side of town. Not nearly as large as Total Wine but a nice selection of craft, domestic, and international beers and most of them are refrigerated. There is a large selection of wines too but I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't comment on the variety. They have painted and added some snack selections since they first time I went in right after they opened. The worker, who I assume is the owner, has been friendly during my visits. I will continue to patronize this local small business when I am on that side of town.”
“This was a great tasting experience. Speaking with the wine maker and getting his thoughts on the wine was a truly fascinating experience. We will enjoy are purchases just a bit more as a result. The "downstairs" venue was perfect and quite welcoming. Plan to see you soon.”
