This place looks like a cross between a sandwich shop and a stock room. Service was friendly. Tap list was good and bottle shop area contained some interesting beers. Bit pricey but still one of the best beer places in Rockville (not that there is all that much choice).

Nice sandwich shop, bar, beer store. Service is nothing more than someone ringing you up (if you're just buying beer). Sandwiches are good - and it smells very nice in there (tough to leave without ordering food). A good amount of singles: 3-4 shelves? Some interesting things in there, too. However, prices are definitely on the high side... but it's a decent spot if you're not from the area and want a bunch of ticks. EDITING TO ADD: The sandwich I had was outstanding. Also, lots of bombers and coolers in the back that I've ignore don my other visits.

Very cool little place here. Was just walking to the metro from 7 Locks and stumbled upon what I thought from the outside was a beer store. It is and more! Great pub/store vibe in here. A large and odd international selection, with Brazilian and Argentine titles here. Friendly service and friendly locals. Lots on tap, mixture of local and regional, with a focus on good stuff. Would recommend the trip out here.

I Always rate places relative to the local beer scene. Gillys is IT. Very local place but welcoming to the outsider. Both consecutive nights I was there it was clear that all others were local and known by the bar staff. This did not stop one bar tender from answering one of my beer questions by getting a bottle and pouring me a sample. Sure, they all do this from the tap but how many open bottles? Great service the following night when the bar keep happily broke a sixer to allow me to take a local back to the hotel. I'll be back for sure

Unreal how much more they charge then their neighbors. I’m pissed I used to buy beer here. I’ve gotten old ass singles and all of them were over priced. Screw you Gillys.

One of the few places to grab craft beer in the Rockville area, behind the main drag on Rockville Pike. This is very close to the Twinbrook metro stop. Next door to Urban BBQ. Place is pretty cramped, lots of beers on high shelves throughout the store. A good amount of beer in fridges. Decent Belgian selection with Scottish, English beers. Can find some interesting stuff here. Only problem is the price level here, which is out of this world. Completely off the wall, 70-100% higher prices than normal. Laughable. Will never need to come back. If you are buying beer here, you are getting ripped off.

Stopped in while in Rockville for other reasons. Ambiance is pretty good, part small deli with good food, part bar with taps, part bottle shop. Selection was above average. Prices are INSANEly high for the most part. Some domestic things line Weyerbacher seemed in line or within a buck or two of my typical price. But, and I hope this was worse case scenario, Allagash Four 750ml - $27.49. Are you serious? I pay about $18-19 a bottle FULL RETAIL, and as little as $15-16 per bottle when buying a 6-bottle case (under $100). So congrats, I didn't buy much if anything. Had something to eat, drank a beer on tap, bought a mix six pack. Unlikely to shop here much but may stop in from time to time for a bite as it's across from Guitar Center.

Points deducted because it’s in Montgomery County, so there are some things they can’t control. Amazing selection and amazing food. Prices are high, but see above for reason.

Great selection for a county controlled area but a bit expensive. Seems to always smell like old french fry grease. Love that you can enjoy a beverage while you shop.

Here’s the deal with this place...they have a good beer selection, kickass sandwiches, and it’s easy to get to. The bad side...to go beers cost a ton, craft drafts are pretty high. The best thing to do there is grab a groupon or, and this is really the best thing to do, get there on Thursday night when there’s no corking fee for bottles. You can get out of the house, have a couple good craft beers at 2-4 bucks a piece. That is a sweet deal.
