Turkey with avocado lettuce tomato on rye.
James A.

Despite its name, Congressional liquor also has a small deli upstairs serving up big breakfast sandwiches and good lunch wraps, subs, and sandwiches. The breakfast sandwiches are ok but a little dry. I much prefer to come here for lunch, especially since options are so sparse on Capitol Hill. The line can be a little slow, but the freshness of the albeit standard ingredients and the care with which they are put together really makes this place one of the better lunch options around. I usually get a turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, on rye with mayo and mustard, but the chicken salad wrap is good as well. Stop in sometime and you won't be disappointed by this somewhat hidden spot.

It's a small shop they didn't have what I needed. But the staff was courteous and polite.

I came with a coworker and we ordered the meatball sandwich and chicken salad wrap and split and both were really yummy.

I visited this store looking for Dekuyper Red Apple Schnapps, as Google indicated it was sold here…read more While the item wasn't currently in stock, the sales associate went above and beyond to assist me. They took the time to check the ordering system and even mentioned they would speak with the store owner about possibly getting it in and following up with me. That level of effort and care--regardless of the outcome--is what true customer service looks like, and I genuinely appreciated it. Note: The store is tucked away in an alley, so if you're using Google Maps, be cautious when navigating to the location--it's easy to miss or drive past.

We came in looking for a sweet red wine and had a specific bottle in mind. The employee let us know…read morethey didn't have it, but said there were other sweet red options we could try. We made it very clear that we do not like dry reds and that the sweeter, the better. He recommended a bottle, but his attitude wasn't very welcoming. We decided to trust his recommendation anyway, only to get home and realize the wine was very dry -- exactly what we said we didn't want. We were really disappointed because we were looking forward to trying a new sweet red wine. Better customer service and listening to customer preferences would've made this a much better experience. The place itself was very nice with a lot of selections.

They also have the best selection of non-alcoholic beverages that are great too especially if you don't drink. They do Wednesday wine tastings and always have cool pop ups happening. I love this place so much and will always support POC small businesses like this one.

Hands down favorite liquor store in DC. Have I been to them all? Nope! Don't need to. This will be…read moremy go-to spot when I visit. I stopped in while in town for a convention and pick up a small haul. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the spirits they carry. The son of one of the owners is terrifically knowledgeable about agave spirits and a friend of one of the owners held it down on the whiskey side. They were generous in offering a tasting as they shared some stories behind some of the brands that they carry and queued me in to local spirits. They have an absolute banging selection for their intimate space along with curated food items to help you prepare for any gathering, large or small. It's a good thing I don't live near by, I'd stop in weekly! I left with a couple of bottles of whiskey, a clarin, some canned cocktails, their house-canned whiskey, a rum and some tequila the son sold me on as I was checking out. Again, he's very knowledgeable on agave spirits and has a great selection available. I'm also happy to support and buy from fellow HBCU grads and entrepreneurs. Next visit I'll be looking more into their wine selection. Can't wait to get back! Cheers.
