The Good — Unique local spirits that are great representatives of the south and this state. We picked up some cute gifts for my guy to take home to share a taste of the south with his friends. Also, plenty of parking. The Bad — The staff is surly and the patrons are horrible. This neighborhood is unsafe and you feel like getting stabbed or being caught in the middle of a hold-up isn’t out of the question here. The Ugly — This place looks like an old ranch house, with peeling paint, dingy worn carpet and not nearly as well stocked as most ABC Stores.

It’s amazing the difference between this ABC store in a crappy neighborhood and the ABC store in, say, Myers Park. The worn carpet and peeling paint really gives you a feeling for how the State of North Carolina allocates it funds. The selection of liquor is fine(although I’ve had to travel farther afield for a top shelf gin) but the place is basically decrepit. Apparently there are plans for renovation, but they don’t seem to be in any rush.

I don’t want to sound un-PC, but this ABC store isn’t in the, uhh, greatest neighborhood, so be careful if you’re headed here late at night or when it’s dark out. Lots of unsavory characters hang around in here, and I’ve definitely seen some uncomfortable situations and confrontations go down there. With that said, great place to pick up any and alcohol you might need – and I do mean ANY alcohol. Their selection is tremendous. And the people who work there are really nice as well, which is a nice touch. Honestly, this place has whatever you need for your party, down to the mixers. Just be safe when you’re headed here.

This ABC store is in the ghetto and I love it! The clerk is an older black fellow and he is really fun to chat with. I saw a Miles Davis frame on the wall and I made a comment about it and it went on from there. We spoke about the South Carolina jazz festival coming up and the dedication they will be holding for Dizzy Gillespie, a South Carolina native. He recommended some tasty vodka for me. ‘Hey you know I have never had a conversation about jazz with a young white guy like yourself,’ he said. ‘Well you know one love man!’
