Service is not so good. Thank goodness every time I have patronized this establishment I knew exactly what I was looking for.

This is an ok spot for a few decent beers, but the service sucks. Meh.

I’m new to Tallahassee, but I drove by this place and had been to an ABC FW&S before, so I thought I’d stop in, remembering they have decent stuff. The ambiance was about what you’d expect - typical decent liquor store... the downside was the drunk borderline hobos sitting on the bench outside chugging Steele Reserve and smoking - but that’s Tally’s fault, not ABC’s. The service was alright - the folks were young and not all that knowledgeable about beer, but they were helpful when I had questions, and seemed to know where most things were. The prices were average to slightly high in most cases on beer, spirits, and wine. As for selection - the beer selection is... okay. Not bad for a college town where the biggest seller is probably kegs of light beers, but nothing impressive. They do have a rather large selection of wine and spirits including a large "wine cellar," etc., but this is a beer site after all. Overall, I’ll definitely be hitting this place again because it seems to be one of the better stops in Tally for good beers.

Fair to midline. They have improved their selection lately. From what I’ve seen the selection is pretty much the same statewide, though there are bigger and smaller stores. Chimay, Orval, Fullers, Unibroue (expensive), garden variety German beers, Youngs, other stuff. Nothing rare here.

Of the two ABC’s I went to this one is better. Good selection. If you need something its worth your time.

I was pleased with the selection overall for a college city who can’t even hve their own brewpub? There were two stores in close distance to my father-in-laws, so I made trips to both. Since I am not usually stateside it was refreshing to get few well know US beers like Rogue. They also carried some imports. The store is a bit disorganized since I accidently broke a bottle of wine with my pant leg, who puts boxes at that level? Help was subpar at best.

if you can get past the employees that will confuse a stout with a bottle of wine the selection is mediocre for the area. i mean its a college town what do you expect. anyway they got a handfull of ROGUE’S, GREAT DIVIDE, and a some other decent beers, of course not cooled but still sitting on those black wire shelfs in the back

Most of the cooler space is dedicated to bush/bud/etc. but they have a small selection of micros and a couple of Belgians. They don’t do special orders and the staff doesn’t know much about their products. This is the wal mart of liquor stores. My advice is to pass and get your brews at Market Square.

Part of a large chain that is found throughout Florida - and one of several in Tallahassee - this one seems to have the largest selection. Nothing rare or hard to find here - your typical German/British/Belgian commons and most are sold as singles. Better selection than your average grocery store though. Sadly, few US micros though. Has a large selection of gourmet snacks such as cheese, meats, crackers and condiments. Walk in cigar humidor is nice. Not a beer geek’s paradise by any means, but if you are going to go to an ABC while you are in Tallahassee, this is the one to hit.
