J Street Liquor

I love this place! Cute, convenient, and SUPER friendly staff. They also have a surprising wine selection, and it’s actually totally reasonable for an independent liquor store!

Really great local liquor store. The folks who run it are always friendly, prices are clearly marked, and the selection is good.
This is where we go to get our lotto tickets every week.
They have a vast selection of craft beer, and a decent wine collection– though it’s not super upscale, you’ll find something better than boxed wine here.
Parking is limited. There’s a donut shop next door.
Love the owners– really awesome, friendly people who are adept as Jedis when it comes to dealing with rowdy drunks walking from Bonn Lair or The Raven in the evening.

I had a good experience here when I was picking up a couple things. Parking seemed limited though.

Five stars because the owner remembered me after five years. I don’t go to the Bonn Lair anymore because I just do not have the time or lung capacity to be going over there and drinking or smoking like that. Its a little too comfortable over there, I think there are opiates in the air or something. Plus I got a big old baby! My bullshitometer is already about to crack without that old drama.
Also I don’t smoke and haven’t for nearly four years (hugging myself for that) so I really have no reason to be going here.
The guy is cool though. Definitely not a hater!

You’ll be paying a few dollars more than you would at the Rite Aid down the road, but if you’re in need of quick booze, this isn’t a bad solution.
They’ve got a good wine selection, a decent beer selection and a bunch of liquor. It’s a little more than I’d usually like to spend, plus they charge to run an ATM card, but it is closer for me than the alternatives.
They’ve also got a fascinating selection of energy drinks, including an Extenze energy drink (you know, the penis pill…) and I’m pretty sure I saw a Tupac energy drink once.
It’s nice to have a quick booze dispensary in the neighborhood, and the guy that’s usually running the counter is a nice guy. Nothing special, but nothing to complain about either.

These guys are super friendly and carry every kind of liquor you could think about. They also have a huge assortment of wine and beer… not to mention the common household items that come in handy for the locals! These guys are so nice and a great part of the community!
