I’m all for winging it and living like a local, but I think I striked out this time. Lol, it happens sometimes. Yes, it is a liquor store, and in Upper Marlboro(all of Maryland I think actually), you have to go get your beer at a liquor store. I wanted some to go with my Chinese food. I gave it two stars because I went with my Dad. If I was by myself I would have chosen another liquor store. It’s right up the street from my Uncle’s house but I wasn’t very thrilled honestly. Do what you gotta do though, alcohol is alcohol. This place just won’t give you that warm and fuzzy feeling until after you drink your beverage at home.
