ABC (Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control) is a chain that sells liquor, and there are…read more350 stores throughout the state. ABC stores are the only retail outlets in Virginia where customers may purchase liquor. This particular location is located in a strip mall next to Food Lion on Godwin Blvd. I am not a big drinker, and especially so when it comes to liquor. I went to ABC to buy some rum for a glaze I was making for Christmas (http://steamykitchen.com/7699-ham-blackberry-rum-glazed.html). My first trip was quick just to pick up the rum, so I decided to stop by again today before I wrote my review. I was surprised to find out that they do not carry beer or wine--just liquor. Since every state has different laws, I didn't realize this about Virginia until today. You have to buy your beer and wine at a grocery store, and then go to ABC to purchase your liquor--at least this one is nearby Food Lion. This ABC store is very clean and organized. It's a medium-sized building but I think you will be able to find what you need there. The staff was extremely professional and courteous--I was impressed. If you need to hit a liquor store in Suffolk -or need lottery tickets- this is your place.

Looky looky! I have…read morebeen in the area for almost a year now and had no clue this store was tucked away off of this main street in the Suffolk area. I travel this road from time to time, but I guess you can say, I do not pay attention to my surroundings like I should... smh. Well on NYE, I stopped by this store to see if my brand of Tequila was available... nope! Ugh... While other brands were available, I was set on a particular brand. Nevertheless, upon walking in, I was greeted and the store was pretty steady. It was NYE and the store usually closes about 6pm. So people try to get in and get out before it gets too crowded and before the lines get super long. Well this NYE, none of that... the stores are running low on options. Well, while I left with nothing, I will definitely be checking out this location more and more. This store is located in a strip mall as well near a few eateries and shopping. Therefore, there is plenty of parking. When in doubt, check them out. You may find what you have been looking for by checking these hideaway spots. Take care of yourself and enjoy life :)
