ABC Stores Wake County

This may be the nicest ABC store in Wake County!
The Cameron Village ABC Store has completed its move across the street, and the new location is much larger. From what I can tell, there is also a wider selection. I found a whiskey that definitely wasn’t at the old location, though I’m still hunting for mezcal.
The most noticeable difference is that it is very spacious inside. I actually really enjoyed shopping here, and it’s right near one of the best restaurants in Raleigh, Tazza Kitchen.

We’re a single malt whisky (no E; that’s for the Irish stuff) kind of family, and I have yet to find an ABC store in the area with a better selection of whisky than the one in Cameron Village. Highland, Islay, Skye, Speyside; 10 year, 12 year, 15 year, 18 year, 25 year; from Ardbeg to Talisker, if you want it in your glass you’ll probably find it here.
They have other forms of alcohol-​based refreshment; lots of vodkas, plenty of bourbons and blended whiskeys, adequate tequilas, a fair amount of frou-​frou liqueurs, and horrible flavoured concoctions that purport to be alcohol and invariably have the suffix ‘-tini’ in the name despite the lack of anything resembling martini ingredients; all these things can be found here. It’s a very small store but there’s rarely a line, though parking can be awful because it’s Cameron Village and that’s just what parking is like there. In, out, and home again with your bottle of choice — just what I want in a liquor store!

Ahh, yes. Alcohol Beverage Control. The only place you can legally acquire spirits in North Carolina.
I’ve never been a huge fan of ABC stores, but this location is probably one of the best I’ve been to. Their sales are also decent and they have a small selection of «airplane bottles» at the front registers.
They have a good selection, the store in very clean, the employees are polite, and and I’m in and out in just a couple of minutes (usually there are no lines no matter the time you go).

If you like scotch, then this is the ABC store for you. I stopped in here recently when I was shopping in Cameron Village and needed to pick up some tequila. I was blown away by the selection of scotches that they have. It’s definitely the best I’ve seen so far in the area. Of course, I’m not a scotch drinker, but the DH is, so I had to bring him back with me. He was in heaven browsing all of the choices. They also have a gin that we had only seen in Napa Valley before, I think that it is made out there. Of course they have the regular selections as well and it’s very convenient when shopping at Cameron Village.

A-​B-​C! Easy as 1−2−3! Or simple as do-​re-​mi!
A-​B-​C, 1−2−3, baby put a drink in me! Ahh, I miss Michael Jackson…
But you know what? You really can’t complain too much when your state provides you with good, inexpensive alkyhol! This ABC location in Cameron Village is conveniently located right off of Clark Ave near the front of CV. Now I have to tell you that I fear the Cameron Village parking lot: too many distracted drivers on their cellphones driving big, expensive SUV’s. So the easier and closer the parking, the better…
Inside it’s like every ABC store with a good selection of liquors for your imbibing pleasure. All the basics and premiums for your bar needs. I’ve browsed through their tequila, gin, bourbon and vodka options and they’ve got most of the popular choices. Don’t expect to find anything too exotic here, the stores are small. Employees are pleasant and can help you out with any liquor-​brand choices.
While it’s not an amazingly fun shopping experience, it’s always easy in and out at an ABC store. Grab your wine and beer at Harris Teeters next door and you’ll be all set for your par-​tay…
