District Liquors

I live very close and this store had the best prices in a several block radius. I buy all my beer and liquor here.

Great prices hands down! Also, a surprisingly large selection of wine for those who enjoy vino. There’s sometimes an interesting clientele (same with those around the area of the storefront), but it’s harmless. I always prefer going here over area stores given the prices and proximity to my apartment.

Great neighborhood liquor store with amazing prices. Seems to be family-​run. I have been to several liquor stores all over the DC area and these guys have the best prices on all kinds of liquor. They also have a decent selection of wine and beer.
I would highly recommend you check this place out if you’re looking for liquor and you’re in the area.

Pretty good little store for the area. Being so close to Convention Ctr and Dowtown, the area has a lot of fancier stores offering more exotic hard to find iquors and beer. But with that also comes higher pricing. If you want just a simple, easy to find beer, for a great price, this is your store. Customer service pretty good. Inventory average. I’ll absolutely return.

Surprising breadth of selection and friendly, eclectic characters on both sides of the plexiglass. Beer, in particular, is a good bet. But, for my money, the $ 16.99 New Amsterdam 1.75l is hard to beat.

I’ve lived around this liquor store for over two years, but the shadiness of the building’s exterior prevented me from going inside until this past weekend. But I completely regret not visiting sooner because they have a great selection with really friendly, passionate staff. The interior is actually nicer than many liquor stores in the area, and they have a respectable wine and beer section, as well as off-​the-​wall liqueurs and mixers, in addition to standbys.
We came looking for spiced rum that was not Captain Morgan, and one member of the staff enthusiastically brought out a bunch of bottles for us to see. It was obvious that he knew a lot about his products, and he was simply an easygoing guy that made us feel welcome in the liquor store, very unlike many of the staff in similar establishments. There were all manner of clientele when we were there, and you could tell that there was a drink and a pricepoint for everyone.
Great store for all your drinking needs, from big name cans of beer to craft rye whiskeys older than you are. Will definitely be frequenting.

This well may be the shadiest liquor store in the city. But the booze is insanely cheap, thus, I love it.
Granted, I would never go alone because of said shadiness, but they’re always running great deals, like Heinny kegorator kegs for less than $ 20.
My brother-​non-​in-​law might kill me for writing this, putting biz out about these deals and all, but never mind that. Save yourselves some dough! And don’t forget to thank and tip the drunk homeless guy who opened the door for you!

Very ghetto, but dirt cheap for most things. I live near DL and I go there most of the time for my «supplies». It is still stuck in the bad old days where they are still behind bulletproof glass and the clientele can be shady. Wine selection is okay; they recently opened up an area that used to behind the counter with all their wines so you can actually handle the wine, although, you still have to point out what booze you want. Staff is friendly. I got a bottle of Macallan Cask Strength for $ 47 before taxes! Most places sell it for $ 65-​$ 75. All in all, a decent liquor store as long as you can handle the full-​on ghettoness of this place.
