Standard prices for the area. The have the best beer selection for a 5-10 miles radius.

Decent bottle selection. Best selection in the College Park area. Some slightly rare local stuff. Good micro selection and not much wasted on the macros.

A really great, really cramped liquor store, the beer is somewhat scattered, the selection is fairly vast without including everything available, and the quality of the offerings are very good. One of the last places in Maryland with some Choklat, I imagine, and they also has some of the new Terrapin stuff. Import selection is decent, prices are reasonable - a good store and one I will go to again when I’m in the area.

Decent selection, especially imports. American craft beers are only available in sixers or bombers/750s. Prices are ok, but are higher than Astors. Also the selection is better at Astors. Beers available here are Great Divide, Jolly Pumpkin, some Avery, Weyerbacher, Smuttynose, Troegs, DFH, Brooklyn, FFF, Victory. Service is, you don’t bother us, we won’t bother you.

Decent selection (especially imports). Micros are a little lacking. Poor handling of bottles. I’ve had more skunked 6-packs from this place then anywhere else. The guy that owns the place is a jerk. Corridor liqours in Laurel and Barnyard Wine and Spirits in Glen Burnie are way better.

Small place with a nice selection. Mostly 6packs, some singles. Found a Fantome Chcolate here. This was very close to my hotel. Jeffin took me here on my guided DC tour.

Last time I checked this place out had to have been in about ’97. Man, they sure changed! Very nice selection of unique beers for such a small liquor store. Back in the day they used to have only cases of swill and six-packs of stuff like Sam Adams.

Lots of micros here. Most are damn near impossible to find in Maryland. Always getting new beers in also. My only complaint is their hours for business. They used to open at 8 AM which is late for this area. Now they open at 10 AM, which sucks, unless you’re a college student.

This place got be through college. I lived a 3 blocks away and it was the store that got be being a beer geek. The selection is good but not unbelievable. They do sometimes have deals that I dont find other places (Like the $6.99 WWS). Great place for UMCP beer geeks.

An odd ball for sure but worth a visit if you are close by, Village Pump is very near to College Park, MD, home of the University of Maryland. The beer selection is not huge but the prices are excellent and most of the beer is kept in coolers so chances of a bad bottle are somewhat diminished. They also have a large selection of Malt Liquors up by the registers (for all of those Malt Liquor aficionados out there).
