ABC Fine Wine & Spirits

OH M GEE! By far the best liquor store experience I have ever had. Not only do they offer the best selection of craft beer, special wines and liquor they also offer a wonderful array of light bites. If you’re going to a dinner party, they have you covered. If you’re making a special meal at home for your honey, they have you covered. Delightful selections include cheese stuffed baby squash, fresh Key West fish spread, hot sauce, salami, specialty cheeses. I could go on and on here.
They have a wine specialist there to help with all of your questions, concerns as well as sampling. I tasted three different varieties and now have a good idea for my next purchase. She was so helpful and her knowledge of the products is vast and honest. I loved this store and will most definitely frequent it often.

Awesome selections at great prices. Not only do they carry a huge selection of beer, wines and liquor, they also have international foods, accessories galore, mixers, glasses and just about anything you can think of that goes with drinking.
This ABC is located on North Dale Mabry, in the same shopping center as Sweet Tomatoes. I often come in to browse as they have change up the inventory and often have wine or liquor tastings.
They always seem to have the right amount of employees so never a long check out line. Very friendly staff and clean, well stocked and easy to navigate.

In my opinion —
ABC used to be a great place to shop. However, with their new discount program, it is a BIG RIP OFF!!!
Just purchased $ 1100.00 worth of wine and got a lousy $ 30.00 discount — because they now cap their discount at $ 30.00
Does this make sense to anyone???

Thanks a lot Antonio for not telling us there was a $ 10 off coupon in the store when we purchased over $ 100. When we asked you said it was too late. Won’t be shopping here for our Christmas purchases.

I really like this place, always has a great selection of wines, beer and alcohol so you can find just about anything you need for a party or intimate get together.
We always go here after eating at Sweet Tomatoes and would definitely recommend it to anyone that lives in this area.
Great variety, good prices and if you like specialty beers and wines, this place his them.

Great selection of stuff. One of the largest for an ABC for both wine and beer. They also have great tastings.

To me this is the best liquor store in Tampa.
Staff always courteous, friendly knowledgeable and willing to help.
On a recent visit, I asked a stupid question and was treated with humour and respect.
You need olive juice for a dirty martini, is there any such product or do you just keep eating olives, so you have plenty of juice?
The clerk roared with laughter and said if I had asked two weeks ago, he would have said, I hope you love olives.
Instead he showed me where they stock olive juice. I got my vodka and vermouth and was on my way.
Opening the truck of my car, the vodka bag dropped and broke, I returned to the store so I could clean up my mess and replace the vodka.
To my amazement, this great clerk replaced my vodka free and said he would clean up the mess! After all accidents happen, no worries, he said and I was on my way.
How refreshing to find a helpful, knowledgeable and caring store clerk.
What’s a girl to do? Sometimes it’s good to spice up the original martini.

It’s like being a kid in a candy store … For adults. I was amazed by the selection of this place. I’m mostly a beer drinker and I was very impressed by the selection of craft beers that they offered. Much more than any grocery store that’s for sure. I was a bit overwhelmed but the friendly staff associate helped point me in the right direction. When I told him I was a huge IPA lover, he suggested a few that I had never even seen before… But I will certainly be seeing again in the future! Good selection and good service will definitely keep me a customer here.

I’ll admit it, I don’t know much about what I like to drink, just how it tastes.
Looking for an education, come here. I’m currently in my second semester at the University of ABC, majoring in «give me whatever doesn’t give me a hang over» — it’s a tough line of study.

There are tons of coolers, if you need something cold in a hurry. The employees are very helpful. It’s a good thing they don’t charge per question. I love learning. Conveniently located just south of Bearss Ave. on N. Dale Mabry. You should probably visit Sweet Tomatoes next door before you destroy your liver.

Large selection of wines and spirits. While they have all the standard beers and the usual selection of extras, I would prefer a larger beer section as I love trying new beers. That’s the only thing that keeps me from giving this place 5 stars. The staff has always been friendly and helpful and the last time I was there they had some tastings available for wines and spirits, too. This is my go to place for liquor in my area.

I know there have been upstarts & great competition in recent years to this trusty stand by. I’ve never had a bad experience here. The staff is always helpful & quick to assist. The prices are inline with competition too.

It was Friday night and I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate National Margarita Day at some tacky Mexican restaurant with a batch of Happy Hour floozies, so I cruised up Dale Mabry to ABC Fine Wine & Spirits to find myself some good sipping liquor. ABC sits in the same shopping center as Sweet Tomatoes and Office Depot, and you’ll find it just south of Ehrlich Road.
Inside the store is a large selection of fine wine, spirits, beer, cigars, and party planning needs. The store is laid out in a very straightforward fashion, and there are sales folks constantly wandering around to help you find particular items and give you some advice. Many of the wines have display tags with more information about that particular style, brand, and vintage.
There is a section of the store that offers samples of different types of wine. That’s real useful if you’re just looking for a basic understanding of wine, and need some advice. If you give them a price range, they can help you pick something to fit your tastes and your budget. I’ve found them to be very patient and fair in their recommendations.
Tonight I was roaming through their spirits section in search of some good bourbon whiskey to pour into a rocks glass, and sip slowly while I catch up on some Unilocal reviews. My «Spirits Steward» sized me up as a man of distinguished character and walked me past the Jim Beam, Old Crow, Early Times, and Maker’s Mark varieties, and then handed me a bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon.
«Why yes,» he said, «this ish is pricey, but you look like the type of discriminating gentleman that would prefer the refined taste of this bourbon.»
Ummmmmm…well, ok… if you insist?
According to the label on the back of the bottle, «Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon goes through a second maturation process in a deeply toasted, lightly charred oak barrel, providing added flavor and deeper color. Rich notes of vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, apple, fruit, and spices. Long and creamy finish with lingering hints of honeyed apple.»
All I know is that two generous fingers of Woodford Reserve poured into a rocks glass with two big crystal-​clear ice cubes, and I’m a very happy camper! Well played, ABC… well played!!!

Very big store with huge selection of beer, wine, and liquor. This store is located in the same strip mall as Sweet Tomatoes.
There are two signs above the store, one says ABC Fine Wine & Spirits and the other says Wine Country. When I first saw this establishment, I thought that there were two different stores. The other night when I was craving some wine, I discovered that these were one in the same. I was a bit confused because I parked by the Wine County sign and walked up to the window only to realize there was no entrance. The entrance is down by the ABC sign.
It was Saturday evening and there were two employees working. They were very friendly and helpful. Luckily, the store is so well organized that I did not need very much help.
They have fair prices, and some decent specials. I picked up two big bottles of Twisted Moscato. It was on sale. It was very good, very similar to the Barefoot Moscato. I was happy with my experience and I will surely be back.
