ABC Liquors and Lounge

This place is ok before the evening hours. Staff is normally on top of your drinks and social. Took my son there for a birthday drink, he just turned 21. But they wouldn’t serve him because his ID is vertical. Thats ok, no need to argue, I know other places that will take our cash. Its good to get out of there before it gets crowded and loud.

Better dive bar in the atea. Dive-​ey in a good way. Stiff but cheap drinks. It can be hit or miss herr. It’s a great spot to catch drinks after work.

On the liquor store side the beer and liquor selection is standard Maryland state controlled inventory. The positive about it is that they fill growlers, and have a great selection of beers to do so with. Word to my fellow transplants: St. Mary’s county requires your growler to have some local, bureaucratic, BS statement printed on it or else it can’t be filled. Don’t take your out of town growler there and then get upset with ABC because they won’t fill it; they are just playing by the weird rules.
On the club side of ABC things are pretty good. Very much a locals spot, but not with a ton of attitude. I enjoyed my night there. Lots of dance music, affordable drinks, and a safe atmosphere. It’s not an exciting place, but it is a nice place to spend a couple of hours. Bring friends if you didn’t grow up here.

Normal liquor store. They have a decent selection and decent enough prices. I go here. There’s a bar/​casino or something in the back. I haven’t been inside though

Drinks are crazy cheap which is always a good thing. Everyone inside knows everyone lol. Saturday when they have a Dj is usually better.

Look it’s bar, in St. Mary’s County it’s a place to go to get blackout and have fun with friends! It is locals only though, people who go there who are not from SMC may find it odd or boring but it’s because you don’t know everyone. I LOVE ABC !!! Or Abica as we call it! I have grown up there and have shuffled home many a night! Sooooo cheap and a great people watching spot!

I can’t say I’ve ever had a great time at ABC. I wouldn’t say that they have the best clientele either. I like to call this place the Cougar Den because of the amount of cougars I’ve seen there. Newer renovations are pretty good, especially if you like to play darts. Of all the bars in the county I’d say this one has the least amount of light… adding to the whole Cougar Den aura it gives off. Its saving grace is that drinks are the cheapest around. I’d recommend it if you don’t have anything better to do.

I finally had an opportunity to check this joint out. I have to say, I was pleased. It really is hidden though, it is a small standard liquor store in the front with the bar behind the store. Stopped by on a Friday night and the place was pretty full. Not so bad that you standing on top of each other but enough folks that it felt comfortable. There was a live cover band that was pretty decent too. I would agree with other reviewers – it’s definitely a bar full of locals (which, to me, isn’t a bad thing).

this is not a bad bar… don’t let the appearance throw you, it is in the back of a liquor store in a strip mall!
It is usually pretty busy, it does take a while to get a drink, but once you are up to the bar the drinks are cheap as all hell! It is pretty loud inside, so not the best place to go for a chill night, but if you want a more wild night it is a good spot!

I like ABC. I have to say that at first I felt a little bit out of place since a lot of people who hang out here are locals and I was not. But it soon became a decently cool place to go for a drink. No love but no hate… just A-​OK. (Honestly, I just wanted to be the first to rate it).
