    If you've been to one VA ABC you've been to them all. They all are pretty standard. This place is…read moreclean and brightly lit which makes it better than some. I went on Christmas Eve and it was pretty empty. There were more staff (7 or 8 employees) than customers. They all asked if I needed help which was nice but unnecessary. This place deserved a review because it is better than most but still pretty standard.

    I walked into this ABC store on a Sunday May 24th around 5:50PM. As I walked in one of the…read moreemployees was walking towards the back about 2 minutes later another employee walks out from the back and yells at me "we're closed, buy somthing or get out" I apologized and said "I wasn't aware, the young man did not say anything to me as I walked in and your door was opened." He kept cutting me off by saying "buy something or get out." I asked if I can have a second as I'm trying to find the right brand. Instead of him helping me to get out the door faster he raised his voice at me and was extremely rude. I was also in a bit of a rush so I purchased whatever was in my hand. The aggressive and disrespectful man kept talking at me and pointed at the door and said "you see here it says till 6pm on Sunday." And said "can you not read." I asked him if I could speak to the manager and ask if he was the manager he stayed quiet. I asked for his name he said " I don't have to tell you my name" I paid for the bottle and took a picture of him, then only was he trying to be nice. What a maniac. He ruined my day...was not helpful, nothing but disrespectful and totally unacceptable. If I could rate it would be a 0/0 Oh did I mention he did not ID me because he wanted me out so badly. DID NOT CHECK ID.

    Virginia ABC Store - This crusty dusty man was disrespectful and did not give "great customer service". He also did not check my ID.

    I do have an ABC store two minutes away but if I drive three more minutes, I can go to this…read morelocation. The one closer to me is fine, but it is a bit of an older store. That being said, this one always has French pastis in stock & on the shelf; Pastis is similar to Italian Sambuca or Greek Ouzo but not quite the same, lol. Sambuca is made from elderberries, Ouzo is made from distilled grapes & aniseed, & Pastis is made from anise, star anise & fennel. The store only has Pernod, which we do like, but you can special order Ricard, which is mine & my French hubs preference; they are from the same company & are both anise-flavored spirits that have their roots in absinthe, but they taste different enough from each other. Pernod is the closet to Absinthe & the company, Pernod-Ricard does, in fact, make real absinthe as well. Look up the history, it's actually an interesting story of how Pastis came about. But I digress, lol. Pastis is an anise-flavored apéritif, or apéro as the French call it, & it is a digestif (aides in digestions). It is typically drank before a meal & served over a couple ice cubes & diluted with water so that it becomes beautifully cloudy & almost a golden, iridescent yellow. Pernod is made from distillates of star anisé (on of my fave spices), fennel, & 14 other botanicals such as coriander, mint, chamomile, & Veronica to name a few. Pernod has a low licorice content which sets it apart from Ricard, which has a more pronounced licorice flavor I must say the staff here is super friendly & the female manager is the best; she always has a big smile on her face. FYI ~ if you want liquor in VA you must purchase it from the ABC store aka Alcohol & Beverage Control Authority.

    Hey Richmond, get your hands off liquor sales! It's time to privatize this in Virginia. Too many…read moreyears and enough. You're going to pay more for booze here. There's no getting away from the inevitable government run nonsense. Yet if you're in Virginia, not a lot of choices. Actually they do have a decent selection. Christmas time has wonderful gifts for the relatives. Clean spot as well. The employees are courteous and knowledgeable. It's a good location. If you're unsure of which to get, they always provide guidance. Please don't drink and drive,
