Urban Cellars

This is my go-to liquor store in the city. They have an extensive selection of beers/liquor and the owner is truly interested in keeping his stock fresh with new and seasonal stuff. The prices are also reasonable.

Ended up taking a stroll over to the store at lunch today to grab a few beers for some upcoming YouTube live streams,. And while the selection is still a little low for beer, the overall selection of what was chosen was pretty decent. I will say though that you still need to check dates as some were a little older than I would purchase.However, what I did price is that if you are a wine fan then you may actually fare better than that of the beer. They have a decent amount on hand and a few spirits as well, but wine seems to be their biggest play.Prices on the beers were now more comparable than my previous visit, so ours to them for getting that more in line with their competitors. Overall, it's an oaky spot for a quick pickup, parking is little though or you will overpay for the garage. So, definitely more suited for foot traffic for sure.

Great selection of wine and smaller selection of liquor that will have something for everyone. The service was good, quick and polite.

I really enjoy going to this place. It's such a convenient location for residents of the downtown/Mt Vernon. If you are driving here, parking may be a little difficult (as the surrounding streets are pay to park). There may be better locations that allow for easier accessibility via car (as I'm able to walk). The owner is very knowledgeable of the wine selections. So if there are questions, feel free to ask because there is a good selection to choose from. I do feel that the liquor selection is slightly limited (and a little over priced), but that's the price you pay for convenience. Store size is small, it's fairly clean. Things may be a little difficult to find if you're familiar with the place. Look at the labels at the start of the aisle to help navigate the various wine aisles.

This place is convenient and has a good selection. The prices seem reasonable and the people are always friendly. It is a great one stop shop for your wine / light beer / craft beer / or liquor needs.Things that are good to know: - they take both apple and google pay! - they also have cases of beer, which it seems you have to ask for - but they have them cold!I'll surely see you again, Urban Cellars!

I was looking for some nice whiskey as a gift for someone. I love whiskey but know nothing about it. The owner (I believe he was the owner), knew everything about the massive selection he had and really helped steer me towards the perfect choice at exactly the right price point. He recommended it so highly, I got a bottle for myself, and it might be the best thing I've ever tasted. I've never written a review for a spirits store before, but the selection was SO good, and the staff was SO friendly and knowledgeable that I really felt like I needed to. If you're looking to get steered in the right direction by lovely people, go check them out!

I've been to this place a few times during my time here and every time was outstanding. After looking on Yelp for in the area liquor stores this seemed like the best option. It's located downtown on Charles and Saratoga. My first stop in here was on Thursday afternoon 5/24/12. We were in town for the annual Maryland Deathfest and definitely needed a place to stock up on drinks throughout the weekend. The place is perfect and just down the road from the venue. Once I walked in I noticed they had a lot of wine, hard liquor, and a good selection of beer. After looking through the beer I went with some Yuengling. As I was walking up to the register I grabbed a pint of whiskey but don't recall the name. The service was great here. I was in and out but fellow show goers and other shoppers had questions and the staff was knowledgeable about what they have to offer, legit. I stopped in here again Friday and Saturday. Both days were also good. I had different people helping me but they all do good and are cool. Next year I know where I'm coming back for my drinking needs.

My experience was excellent and lasted under 5 minutes.We were dining at Puerto 511 and didn't realize that this was a BYOB establishment. The server gave me the business card of Urban Cellars and sent me on my way. It took 3 minutes to walk there.When I arrived I told them my situation, and they knew exactly what to do. They asked me what dishes we were ordering, and was it ceviche, I responded yes. He said that this wine is slightly sweet and that it would go well with the bite/acidity of the ceviche, and that normally he would recommend a more acidic wine but not in this case. I took the bottle, paid for it without even looking at the label, and headed back to the restaurant. Screwtop bottle which made it easly.When I opened the bag and took out the bottle, I saw that this was a Mosel Riesling from Germany. My wife and I had our 30th anniversary trip two years ago which included two magical days on the Mosel river drinking Riesling wine and soaking up the romantic, beautiful, classic, sunny atmosphere. I would return to the Mosel in a heartbeat. So this brought all those memories back. Oh and the wine was excellent and went perfectly with the ceviche. Great choice.Great wine, great service, fair price, fun atmosphere in the wine store. What more could one want?

rude and disrespectful because i asked for an extra bag ( glass and cans) - spent $20 and he got foul and told me to get out ...over a dime....worst. i am from philadelphia. he has a lisp and is not from america but called me out of my name.... i could only laugh. i am not in philly...he would not be doing that and is clearly insane.

I walk from Mount Vernon to select primarily sake and wine. This local establishment provides a selection of sake and other Asian beverages. The owner provides valuable suggestions to satisfy my unique tastes.
