ABC Fine Wine & Spirits

I always come here for liquor in Gainesville. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the store is always clean.

Been a customer here for a while since moving back to Gainesville. After a towing mishap the store manager and the regional manager went out of their way to make everything right.
These guys are responsive, professional, and extremely courteous. I am a loyal customer for life.

They refused to sell me a bottle of alcohol. Wouldn’t even look at my ID. I know I look young but I’ve been 21 for a month, you can check my birth certificate. There is agism going on here, it’s extremely rude.

I like this store but Total Wine is way better and bigger but whatever went to ABC to get 2 packs of Robert Mondavi Riesling and Cabernet wine. The staff was friendly clean place but dirty bathroom

Every time I have gone here the salespeople help me decide on the perfect selection. Last time I couldn’t decide between my favorite Moscato or another brand of Chardonnay since my favorite brand was out of stock. Well the guy found a bottle of Chardonnay, let me taste it and I had a new favorite.

Not sure why the one star.
Clean store
Great selection

Yes, I know it’s a liquor store and it’s ABC so why is it a 1 star… usually this place is fine. You go in get what you want and pay and leave. This review is just for one unique experience I had at this place which I never had anywhere else I ever bought alcohol.
I was in line to pay for all my stuff and a friend of mine walked into the store with some other people. We were just saying hi and talking when the manager walked up to my friend and asked for ID. He was underage so the manager asked him to leave. Then she looked at me and told me to put my items down and leave. I was asking why and at first she wouldn’t say then she said it’s because my friend was underage, which is stupid. My friend walked in with other people and wasn’t even with me. I tried explaining it but she wouldn’t even let me, she just kept pointing to the door. So I left and just gone to the liquor store down the street.
Not only did this pissed me off, it kind of humiliated me because she did this with like 20 people waiting in line. Granted, not the most humiliating thing ever but I feel I still didn’t deserve being treated like that.
So if you ever see the lady manager in there, tell all your underage friends to stay outside, even if you guys just happen to bump into each other there. Maybe new Gainesville law saying underage can’t even enter a store with alcohol.
