Ive patronized this shop for the past few months and the experience is pretty much the same every time. Walk in; no one says hello. Walk to beer case and choose from a small sampling of beers which are decent. Walk to counter; the clerk rings me up while talking to other people and I leave. Im kinda at the point now where Im not willing to drive over for the beer because I never feel welcome there. Today I visited and it was the same bland service and I found myself wanting an old beer store I frequented in Germantown. The older couple who ran the place were always quick with a hello and always had something or other to chit chat about. Nothing long winded; just a show of appreciation that I was coming in to buy beer or wine. You know what... Im finding CPWS to be a bit too apathetic for me. Ill start looking for a different place to spend on alcohol. However, I will give the folks over there credit for keeping a neat, clean shop. The parking is a pain on busy nights because of the Asean Bistro next door and the handful of other eateries. And if you are into wine theyve got a pretty nice selection with some tastings going on pretty regularly; liquors are plentiful yet pricey.

Convenient, Great Selection, Tastings. The guys at Columbia Palace Wine & Spirits are quiet, but theyre the kind of guys you could easily have a beer or a glass of wine with. Once you get to know them, theyre quick to greet you at the door, and discuss your party plans, or even give recommendations. One of the guys commented on my scotch purchase, and got me to try my new favorite, without an upsell (I wont say which, so you can get the recommendation yourself). Beer and wine selections are pretty good for such a small shop- they have a wide range of liquors and microbrews, and wines from all over the world including Champagnes and Sake. They even have occasional wine tastings. If youre at Giant, dont skip Columbia Palace Wine & Spirits to complete your grocery trip!

A great liquor store. Always get what I want at competitive prices. On top of that they help you get things that are rare and very difficult to get. Just walk in, show them a picture or provide them the name of any wine, liquor or beer and they will be able to provide you that product in a matter of days.

After reporting that these guys ripped me off by giving me a non-itemized receipt, they immediately updated their place with IPads that present your purchases to you and that you can sign with your finger. They are now also printing itemized receipts. I think they got the idea now. Good for them for trying.

I recently discovered this hidden jewel. I cannot say enough about the cheerful exceptionally helpful service. Great selection of wines and single malt. I prefer to make the drive here than shop at colder warehouse environments. The friendly smiles are worth the effort.

Love this place, the owners are always willing to get you any beverages you ask for then. If they dont have it, they will order it for you. Friendly staff, good selection and prices

Very friendly staff. Prices are too high compared to competition. Owners need to visit their competition to have an idea about the market prices for similar brands.

Always have a decent beer and liquor selection. Went in one day asking for something they didnt carry, and they were able to order it in within a week.

Pricing is horrible. I witnessed markups of over %1,000 msrp (yes, three zeros). I will never support this nonsense and neither should you.
