I went there last week looking for a particular wine I had at a birthday party the prior weekend (Stella Rose). There were two gentleman talking when I walked in, the younger man seemed a bit annoyed as if he didnt want me interrupting his conversation. I asked for the particular brand he informed me that they dont have it and hed never heard of it. No big deal my friend said it was a little hard to find. He didnt ask what color it was or how it taste, etc to try to offer me something similar. I felt like I was bothering him so I just turned around and walked out after an awkward silence. This was my perception this may not have been how he felt at all. I stopped at another wine store on 14th St and while they didnt have Stella Rose he asked what it tasted like and what I liked about it and suggested another brand which I purchased and it was AMAZING. I lliked it better that the first one and will be back to purchase more.

The selection at Bell is outstanding; however, do not order online! They do not enjoy filling online orders and the guy filling my order let me know how much he disliked the system due to its failure to keep up with inventory. So in turn, I ended up leaving a bottle short for one of my Christmas gifts to my wife. Nevertheless, Ill be back because I like having access to good wine and from my research they have one of the best arrays of wine in the area; however, the guy could at least act like he enjoys being there. It makes a good impression on first-time customers. I would also suggest improving the online service or getting out it all together.

An obviously underaged rude staff member named "Joe" refused to sell me a bottle of champagne, and made racist comment about my form of ID - Ukrainian international drivers license, claiming that by "DC law" only a "US ID can be accepted because some countries issue fake documents". This was racist and highly offensive. If you are a foreigner in the US, dont go there

Great selection of wine and spirits in a funny underground location. Liquor prices were low and staff was friendly, contrary to what I read in other reviews.
