ABC

ABC (Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control) is a chain that sells liquor, and there are 350 stores throughout the state. ABC stores are the only retail outlets in Virginia where customers may purchase liquor. This particular location is located in a strip mall next to Food Lion on Godwin Blvd.
I am not a big drinker, and especially so when it comes to liquor. I went to ABC to buy some rum for a glaze I was making for Christmas (
). My first trip was quick just to pick up the rum, so I decided to stop by again today before I wrote my review. I was surprised to find out that they do not carry beer or wine – just liquor. Since every state has different laws, I didn’t realize this about Virginia until today. You have to buy your beer and wine at a grocery store, and then go to ABC to purchase your liquor – at least this one is nearby Food Lion.
This ABC store is very clean and organized. It’s a medium-​sized building but I think you will be able to find what you need there. The staff was extremely professional and courteous – I was impressed. If you need to hit a liquor store in Suffolk –or need lottery tickets– this is your place.
