This is my 400th Yelp! So I will review an establishment…read morethat continues to impress upon me that the purchasing of libations can be delightful. Dare I speculate that this model may serve as a blueprint for the cannabis industry in the future. I appreciate these Government run liquor establishments in North Carolina. They are efficient and the prices are set, and you feel safe. In some seedy NYC or Boston liquor stores you feel as if you could be in a hold up at any moment. The employees are friendly and helpful. The ABC Stores has promotional gift with purchases if the company offers them and limited edition specialty offerings. This particular location has a great gin aisle. It's twice as long as many other ABC Stores. Today I picked up a limited edition Gin from Scotland. My first visit to this particular store, but the parking was terrific. If you know what you want you can be in and out in three minutes flat!

I enjoy shopping at this location. I have noticed you can't get into the parking lot the day(s)…read moreleading up to a holiday. That is when I stay away. On this visit, it was a normal Saturday and there was plenty of parking. Service inside is always efficient. The staff notice when you are wandering and may need assistance. They will come over or call out to see if you want help. They know their products and can always provide recommendations if asked. Checkout is not an issue as the appropriate number of registers are always open. Shopping for alcohol is and should be a pleasant experience.

Phew, this place was hard to find. I was tearing down WT Harris at a mind-bending 40 mph (yay,…read moretraffic) and didn't see it in time. Not my fault though, trees have gone up in front of the distinctive red-and-white ABC Store sign so it isn't visible until you have passed the turn-off. Sneaky. I doubled back through a strip mall and, with a few questionably legal detours, found my way back to the store. I was glad to see that it hasn't been renovated into one of those depressingly cheerful corporate boxes. I enjoy metal bars and neon signs in my liquor store windows. It feels much more authentic. So I saunter in, supercool. Nod to the clerk, "Ma'am" . But she calls me "sweety"; my supercool bubble is burst. If I'd been close enough she would have pinched my cheeks. I fumbled around the store for a few minutes, trying to remember what I had wanted. She managed to call me sweety another half dozen times, tearing down my manly ego with each motherly drawl. Finally, reduced to a mere shell of a man, I dragged my purchases across her counter and skedaddled. 4 stars for the human encounter. No demonizing preacher here, like at other ABC stores, hatefully judging my purchases. This woman obviously enjoyed a touch of the giggle water from time to time. I appreciate that.

Wow. What a gigantic variety. This place pretty much every liquor I could ever imagine. Sheesh!…read more I was in the area for a music festival and we stopped here to stock up for the pre game. This was conveniently located within a strip mall and by a handful of other businesses. I know for sure next time I am in the area, this will be my go to and I will recommend to others as well! Woohoo!

This is a smaller Alcoholic Beverage Control, Outlet. It's brand new to me, though I have learned…read moreit has been opened since February of 2019. It is conveniently located next to a Quick Trip, A new Lidle and on the same strip as Tacos 4 Life. This location is part of a newly development block of businesses that are bringing jobs, money and people to this part of Concord, and I am there for it. It's clean, well kept and the associates who work there couldn't be more helpful or friendly. They can give you information on whichever libation piques your interest. Just like all of the ABC Stores, it is very well kept up. They have special-buys via the manufacturer. It may include a tee shirt, or a small shot glass or other fun promotional items. They also have mini bottles for samples without the commitment of a huge bottle. Oh! They have terrific parking. The ABC Stores are so very different than liquor stores in the northeast, but this store is exactly like every single ABC Store in North Carolina, but as it happens, that's not a bad thing at all.

I went for a special fundraising event and was absolutely in love with the cozy decor. Staff was great, and there is outside seating to enjoy as well weather permitting. I will definitely be back for a regular day out to try even more wines.

Not my first time here, and definitely not my last! Wine Vault is a fantastic wine store and lounge…read moreconveniently located in the heart of The Shoppes at University Place. This spot truly has it all: you can order wine by the glass (beer too) or bottle, enjoy wine tastings, lounge in their cozy spaces, purchase snacks, and browse their well-stocked store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions or help you find the perfect bottle. One of my favorite features is their Wednesday night wine tasting event. $5 for six samples in 15-minute increments between 7-8 PM. It's a fun, affordable way to explore new wines. If you're hungry, there are plenty of food options nearby, plus shopping venues, events, and activities around the pond. Parking is ample, so no stress there. A great local spot for wine lovers, whether you're looking to sip, shop, or socialize. Come as a wino, leave as a wino!

Small store tucked away off of Tryon near the speedway. I've always remembered passing a store…read moresince there isn't really a lot other than the speedway out here in this location. The folks are friendly and there's a decent size parking lot to get in and out when trying to find your drink of choice. The building is older and totally easy to miss since is not exactly on Tryon, but you can totally see it while driving North. There is no median on this part of Tryon so you can also come in from the Southbound lanes. Pretty typical inside, all the liquors are organized by type and there are special builds in the middle of the floors for any specials or offers for certain brands, etc.

They also tell you when there are rebates, sales or specials applicable to an item you buy. At the risk of sounding redundant there is a welcomed professionalism to the way Government ABC Stores operate as opposed to liquor stores in another state or an off license store (which is what liquor stores are called) in Europe. They are not quite as large as some of the other ABC Stores in Charlotte, but they have everything you could want and the shelves are always stocked, neat and the prices are clearly marked. I like that it is located in a convenient shopping center. It's directly on George Lyles along with my favorite grocer, a great pizzeria, pharmacy and plenty of well lit parking nearby.

This can make for some entertaining interactions. That being said, this is a larger store with an assortment of liquors. The staff is friendly and diligently checks ID, as they should. It's always clean here. Seasonal drinks, such as egg nog, are placed towards the front, which is thoughtful. The line is rarely long, but moves quickly when it is. I've also found that the police officers here are helpful and know where things are when you can't find what you're looking for. While their job is to keep the peace, they aren't overly aggressive while being authoritative.
