My go to liquor store with the best selection. The employees are always very helpful and friendly. George ordered me a specific bottle I was having a hard time finding. Many thanks
The place to go for spirits and anything youd need for cocktails. Every spirit I was looking for, they had it. The Guyana rum I havent been able to find anywhere else, they had it. The Spanish vermouth Ive been looking for, they had it. Huge selection of rums, whiskies, tequilas, and mezcals. Amaros, specialty liqueurs, syrups, and bitters - everything youd need to make any cocktail. They also have a pretty decent selection of wines and beer. The prices are surprisingly reasonable. Oh, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and treat you like youre an old friend.
Batch 13 owner was really weird and creepy towards me and I would not shop at this liquor store again. The long haired guy at the corner was really nice and helpful, but the two morbidly obese men were extremely creepy following me around the store and never taking their eyes off me. Stay away from the creepers at Batch 13.Look at the other reviews, as they all tell the same story over a long period of time--Batch 13 owners are totally creepy! Stay away!
This is a great liquor store, with an excellent selection of wine, beer, and liquor without being too overwhelming. Would be a great place to come if youre looking for something specific, but also great if youre looking for something new to try. Staff is friendly and helpful but not overbearing if you just want to browse.
I drove into DC today to spend a retirement gift card for Batch 13 that I received before the pandemic began. They could find no record of the card in their system but said they would research it while I had lunch nearby. Turns out their system had crashed the very day the card was purchased, so they said they would honor it! Where do you find that kind of customer service today? Thank you, Batch 13.
Great selection of Mezcal!
They have a great selection of Georgian wines and chacha, in addition to being a great liquor/wine store overall.
Theyve got a little bit of everything you would need at decent prices. No complaints.
Wonderful selection of wine, beer and spirits. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the best prices.
One of the best selections in the city, for both wine and spirits. From awesome natural wines from Georgia (yes, the country Georgia) to fancy mezcal and chile liqueurs from Mexico — this is your 14th St go-to. Compared prices with other wine stores in the neighborhood and this was much better. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help.
This is a great wine and spirits store with a vast selection, helpful service, and great vibes inside. Highly recommended for stocking your bar and expanding your repertoire.
Great selection of Georgian wines and cool liqueurs, and every kind of bitters you can imagine.
Very good selection of wines and spirits.
A great collection of alcoholic beverages. The salesman is always very helpful and friendly. Its not the closest liquor shop but its my preferred one.
Very large selection, but oddly and randomly displayed. Be sure to look upstairs.
Very nice people, very helpful, great selection. SHOP HERE.
Great selection of Georgian wine
Super friendly and helpful staff. They helped us pick liquor and beer for birthday party we were throwing. He also gave me a great recommendation on scotch. Asked me a bunch of questions about what I liked and then made a super solid recommendation. And it wasnt just an expensive bottle.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff with amazing selection of mezcal. George is the best.
An excellent selection of all brown spirits.
They have a good selection of bourbons and rye - they have a lot. That being said, the couple of times I have gone here I have not found anything special. (Like any store picks and the like) Also I found that they mark up most things. Like $10 over MSRP for some easily found things and in one case $20 for a harder to get, but not that hard. (I am not talking about Pappy here, but a normal offering from a Richmond distillery.) So it is not bad if you are there to pick up something that you might not get everywhere, but you will pay more.
This is the best store in the district. George is the man, and he knows his whiskey. Go here for something new!
While most people would come here for their wine, the real reason to come is their selection of infused alcohols (upstairs), and imported beers. If you like Belgian Spurs, you’ll be able to find them here. I moved to DC a few weeks ago, and this is the only place I’ve seen that has Delirium Red in stock
Wide selection of beer, wines, and spirits. The thing I like about the place most is their focus on niche and harder-to-find items; I can always come in and find something new and interesting to take home and try. The owners are all very friendly and helpful, with a deep knowledge of their products. This is my go-to DC liquor store!
Great stock of Georgian wine!
Best spirits store in DC by far
This is a store with a phenomenal selection. However, I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable while there. I was asked if I needed help while in the store with three friends - all of us women of colour. I said that I was just looking while we were killing time before we headed to the airport and was going to go up to the second floor to see what they had. I have a collection of liquor from all over the world, and it’s over 100+ bottles strong, so I know what I’m doing. I also didn’t have to volunteer any explanation, since I’m free to walk around a retail space without giving my backstory.The clerk, a white dude who looked to be in 60’s silently trailed me up the stairs and watched every move that I made without saying a word. There was a 20-something white dude up there looking around by himself, and he didn’t warrant a secret service detail...I have almost never been a victim of racial profiling, at least not this overtly. It’s demeaning and humiliating, especially in a city as diverse, cool and welcoming as DC is.
Awesome and friendly staff, in a happening area of town. Huge Mezcal selection. Will definitely hit it again when back in DC.
A rude racket. They leave glass bottles on the floor so customers can conveniently break them when passing by the stairwell/register AND then not only do they make you pay for the broken bottle, the owner berates you when you suggest they shouldnt place product on the floor with high foot traffic.Done. Happy to take my business elsewhere but a shame a neighborhood business treats their customers like this.
Great place! Superior customer service. Huge variety of liquors. Highly recommend!
If for nothing else, Batch 13 is a beautiful liquor shopping experience. Its in the heart of 14th Street NW with two levels of every kind of alcohol imagineable. They have gin, bourbon, whiskey, vodka, mixers, wine, beer, cider from all across the globe. Its amazing to just look at each beautifully designed bottle. They also prioritize local booze. The prices are a little steep, but what isnt in DC anymore?
Definitely the best place to get pretty much anything in DC. Very extensive inventory, but at a higher price. Staff could have been a bit more helpful, but nothing egregious.
Great selection of everything. Knowledgeable staff too.
Knowledgeable and excited owners are happy to show you to exactly what you need and know their store so well. The selection is out of this world with the best Georgian wine selection in town.
Great selection, and when I was looking for a certain creme de cacao, they special ordered it. No one else in the city could get me that bottle. Highly recommend this place!
Great selection of beer, wine and liquor. Carry many quality and boutique wines that you wouldnt find at other stores or liquor stores in the area.
Good selection of bourbon and scotch (more of a focus on small batch than rare items)
Paid $30 for a 750ml bottle of Tanqueray...this might be the highest price in the United States. I paid it because I was in a rush but now Ill never return to the store for anything.
Pretty good bourbon selection, good red wines, limited whites, mostly Chardonnay. Wider selection of beer.
Big choice, nice people, great place, the best liquor store in DC
Great selection of wine and liquor. George is a great guy, ask him for recommendations Id you cant decide.
Great selection of good liquor and wine, knowledgeable staff.
The Best inventory and very cool store
Outstanding collection of spirits from all over. Great reserve collection upstairs.
Great selection, knowledgeable staff, one of the best wine and liquor store
Impressive selection of vermouths and liquors!
Great selection, surprisingly reasonable prices.
Knowledgable employees and great Georgian wine selection. This is my go to spot for Rkatsiteli and Mukuzani and can count on the owners recommendation for new wines to try
The largest selection of Georgian wines in DC. For fans of Mtsvane, Saperavi, Khvankhara, Tsinidali, Rkatsetili, etc. this is the place to stop. Plus, the owners are Georgian and usually in the store. They can answer all your questions about Georgian wine and provide recommendations to small batches or select bottles.
Excellent liquor selection with decent prices. Beware, they will follow you around upstairs while you shop.
Very very impressive collection of bottles. Especially the mezcal section
Really good store. Great selection and very frequent tastings.
Friendly owners, good selection. Support local business!
Awesome selection, knowledgeable staff. Will let you sample some options.
Great selection, and the staff is very knowledgeable.
Overpriced. Go here for convenience and service is actually quite good.
Great deals on wine from interesting regions of the world
Good selection of wine. Prices are comparative with other wine stores.
Great selection.
Welk stocked with varieties of bourbon, whiskey and scotch. Priced well.
Great products and knowledgable employees
Great selection of wines and spirits!
Great selection, super convenient!!
Best booze selection in DC, period.
Great selection, but hard to access things on high shelves!
One of the best selections in the city!
Similar to the other commenter, I was also racially profiled, followed around and generally felt uneasy as a person of color there
Pricey, but convenient
Price is so expensive, the salesman was so disrespectful & look frustrated i never .see such kinds of services .
Great selection
So much stuff
Empressive selection.
Best in town
Terrible service.
