Potomac Wines and Spirits

Came in looking for two specific bourbons, asked and was pleasantly surprised that they had both. Reasonable/fair market values as well. Great liquor store.

Came inside so my fiancée could buy a small bottle of bourbon for the weekend and roamed around looking at the wares while he spoke to the guys inside to get what he wanted. They had a fairly decent selection here and were located on a busy street around tons of other shops and restaurants so it's a convenient stop if you're nearby shopping or dining already. It was cold but not too crowded on a Friday at around 5pm (traffic was bad outside but not in the store) and the two guys working behind the counter were nice and helpful showing my fiancée to what he was looking for and answering his pricing questions. Saw some of the usual faves inside so this would hit the spot if you're in need.

Came here after a tip from our server at a Ramen noodle shop the night before. I was looking for a specific Japanese whiskey for a son-in-law after enjoying it at the restaurant. The owner immediately asked if we were sent from the restaurant as he received a text the night before. He kept the Nikki whisky in the back and brought them out then explain them to us. Perfect gifts for Christmas . Thank you.

This is a great family-run shop! I come here for all of my bourbon needs, but they seem to have a great selection of all wine and spirits. Most of their regular shelf-available products are fairly priced, at or below MSRP (unless they have to work with more difficult distributors who charge higher margins). The store employees are knowledgeable and have great recommendations. Their online catalogue is up-to-date, but I do wish they were on social media so it's easier to keep up with the new products they're getting.

Stopped by spontaneously on the search for some different spirits than can be found in the ABC store as I live on the VA side of the river. The shop is small, but full of a little bit of everything (wine, beer, spirits). Their customer service is fantastic and I will definitely be back. It is in a touristy area of DC (M street), but definitely worth the trip. Prices are reasonable as well. Not what I was expecting for the area they are in. Street parking only, but isn't too bad if you park just off the main M street.

I did not intend to purchase anything when intending to visit here. I wanted to compare prices to other places I usually purchase booze from. The store is rather small and compact. This store reminded me of liquor stores back in NYC due to good finds and barely any room to move around.There was a large variety of genres of alcohol to choose from. The abundance of inventory was hard liquor though. Second place was the stock of wine. Surprisingly, there was minimal stock of beer. But it is a liquor store so it makes sense too. As I was browsing, I was offered assistance by two different employees. I declined since I was only browsing and not looking for anything in particular. The employee at the counter was talking with two customers who were purchasing many items and having them shipped. I didn't even think of the possibility of having items shipped! We were driving this trip so I would have purchased and taken it with me if I had found something. The staff appeared very knowledgeable about everything the customers inquired about. I chuckled when they were talking about rums in Miami and I felt them look at me lol. I was highly impressed with the uniqueness of selection here and will definitely stop in again when I am in town. The prices seemed very reasonable as well. I did not see anything that was cheap-both financially and quality wise.

These guys know their stuff and are my go to for hard to find liquors. They carry wine also although that isn't my thing so won't go into it here. On separate occasions I've needed Underberg (a German aperitif) and Unicum (a Hungarian staple). Both time I came by to ask if they carried these, I was met with "pretty sure we do, let me get it from downstairs" and they did. Their basement is a magical place of every liquor known to man apparently. In the case of the Unicum, they said that they were working on getting some of the original formula which is no longer exported to the United States. I was looking for the newer formula anyway so it worked out, but I'm impressed that they were going through the effort to stock a liquor with a limited customer base.To top it all off, they are very affordable. They could charge an arm and a leg given their location and the variety of liquors stocked. Another star for them if I could give them 6 stars. Affordable anything in DC, particularly M St in Georgetown is a a rarity.

I went into this store one time to purchase a bottle of wine. The second I walked through the door I was being followed so closely that when I stopped the guy ran into me. There are definitely racist. The store was very small and there were many other Caucasian people around The only person that was being followed was me and of course I'm African American. I told this creep to stop following me around and he simply replied I work here. So to my fellow people of African descent and all of our allies please steer clear. Don't give them your business. We have to stop letting people like this win. I would not even give them one start. The one stars only there because I could not post the rest of this review without it.

My go to shop whenever I need a hard to find liquors for my cocktails. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and a selection that can't be matched! Highly recommended!

Great selection and fast delivery! The website is very organized and easy to work with. I order some Bulgarian brandy and got everything for less than a week. I highly recommend
