County Line Liquors

It’s been a while since I’ve been in. The décor is very bland. While, they do have a great selection, having a better ambience would put it over the top.

For those who don’t know, Benton County (where Bentonville, Rogers and Bella Vista are located, in the northwest corner of Arkansas) is a «moist» county. That means that there are restaurants where alcohol is sold (you have to sign the book at the front, which is a total joke) but you have to consume it on site. There are no gas stations with coolers full of beer. There is no state liquor store where you can stock up on vodka and tequila. So if you want to have a few beers in your fridge, you have to drive across the border into Washington County or up to Missouri. Crazy, but it’s the law.
For the Superbowl tomorrow, we wanted to have a few brews available, so we headed down to the nearest booze store, which is literally right across the border into Springdale. County Line Liquor is a decent sized store and they sell everything. Two long walls of coolers with beer and several aisles neatly displaying the latest in liver-​cirrhosis inducing technology, all easily organized by poison. Rum over here, schnapps over there, wines by region in the next aisle. Clearly labeled with prices, which is very helpful.
Prices are somewhat reasonable and they also have a drive-​up window for those who are too incapacitated to park their vehicles and stumble in. While I wasn’t carded (I’m clearly over 21), the clerk did card the kid in front of me in line. They are very much on top of that and I made sure to thank him for doing so.
