I absolutely am in love with this neighborhood wine spot. Nice to buy and take home, or enjoy their indoor (or outdoor) seating space. Great service and nice choices for wine, liquor and beer. Next door to a restaurant if you get hungry. A jewel in the area, truly.

I travel, on a weekly basis from Accokeek, Maryland (Near the National Harbor) just to experience the charm and down home feel of the Spirits of Mt. Vernon. It is the closest thing to the old TV Series Cheers. You can sample their large but not overwhelming selection of various wines from around the world, as well as other liquors. While there you could listen to live music and meet new friends.They know your name and after one visit if you know your wine they know you. The owner greets me with a smile a warm hello and before I take 2 steps into the store she lets me know if the wine I get is in stock. If it isnt (very popular) she lets me know exactly when it will be in and offers me a comparable wine. They know their wines and they have never been wrong with the recommendations. You are always welcomed.

The wine selection is amazing as well as the spirits. The staff is very knowledgeable. It’s a neighborhood hub. If you are in the neighborhood stop in and have a drink or just pull up a a chair and talk. Everyone is always welcoming.

Honestly one of the nicest places ive been to. The staff is both knowledgeable and fun to talk to. The decor is lovely with beautiful wood accents and reclaimed wine boxes seamlessly integrated into the counter. They truly bring the winery feel into the city with a great selection and atmosphere. Whether looking for a nice bottle to bring home, or a spot to unwind after a day of work, you simply cant find a better place in the city.

Oh gosh, how can I explain what a relief it was to go to this place and meet an amazing staff to have a glass of wine with!!! My best friend of 33 years met me in Baltimore to help take care of my niece with me. This was our little getaway!!! We loved the wine but more so the staff. Martin and lula!!! Our favorites! Vicky gave me an on the house glass of wine today before I left for Phoenix. What a special place. Please go and check it out 💕💕💕.

Plus with the wonderful wine selections and comfortable ambiance surrounding the store, there’s no way you can’t come back for more!

A colleague of mine referred this wine bar to me. The owner of this location is a beautiful person. She is knowledgeable of her product, her concept, and her community. Her connection with customers warmed my heart. If you want a one of a kind experience in all of Baltimore, this is a must stop, sip, and purchase kinda place. I will continue to visit.

I love coming here! Everyone who works here is so incredible and accommodating. It’s a very safe and welcoming place for me to bring my dog Mo. There’s super fun live music on Friday nights (and wonderful bartenders Brian and Eric who work on Friday’s too!). I would definitely recommend coming to share a bottle with friends after work! If I could give 6 stars I would!!!

A rare rare gem with many wonderful facets. I am not a reviewer typically, and normally only do if a business is either exceptional or terrible and this place earns 5 stars. I’ve been coming to Spirits of Mt Vernon since it opened. Previously it was a run down multipurpose pharmacy, liquor and junk store of odds and ends and lottery. It’s become a beautiful and comfortable neighborhood gem, welcoming to all - with a superb offering of consistently very good to excellent wines and spirits. I stopped in today not because I necessarily needed something, but because I wanted to say hello. What was to be a 5 minute visit lasted an hour of wonderful conversation, a taste of a new Rose that I was glad to be introduced to and a nice way to round out the end of a very hot day. Ms Vicky the proprietor has a an amazing talent and keen sense for wine - both what one typically is accustomed to but also helping one make new discoveries. From needing several bottles to take for a dinner party or just to have at home with friends, I’ve never been disappointed or steered wrong by Vicky or her teams’ choices for me. Thank you. Separate from wines for a party or spirits at home, what I’ve really come to love about this place is the soulful caring spirit and fun of everyone that comes through it’s doors. Whether it’s a wine tasting or evening Live music bringing not only Mt Vernon but residents of other hoods here - the place is comforting, fun and welcoming always - and service consistently spot on. A thank you for an establishment that is a go-to not just for my beverage needs but a representation of what makes a neighborhood and a city thrive - even in the most challenging times like these. CHEERS to Spirits of Mount Vernon and a clink of glasses!

Cannot say enough good things about the shop, very nice selection at very fair prices. I felt very taken care of and had absolutely amazing customer service! We will be using this store as our main shop for wine and spirits going forward. They are planning on have live music and events in the shop once the pandemic is passed, which we are also planning on attending.

It’s impossible to say a bad word about Spirits of Mt. Vernon. They’re courteous, knowledgeable, and skilled at placing a product with the patron, to a level that would make a sommelier blush.It’s obvious that they put in the extra effort to make sure every patron is as well taken care of as possible.

Review №36

Awesome store. The owner is very kind and laid back and will help you with whatever you need + are looking for.In fact, I accidentally broke my friends wine glass and swung by asking if they were selling any individual wine glasses to replace the one I shattered. The owner was so kind as to give me an ikea wine glass for free!And then of course, I managed to break that one too!!! So then, I went back, and after some explanation she was so kind as to give me another one! I wish I could bring Mt. Vernon Liquors everywhere I go with me but unfortunately I am leaving in June. Will miss such a nice friendly professional store such as them.

My girlfriend and I were in Baltimore for a conference and stayed in Mt. Vernon. While walking in the neighborhood we stopped into “Spirits” and met Vicky, the owner. She was great! We felt like at home and taken care of. I cannot wait to visit again when in town. Stop by on Fridays for music, great wine and great people. We love you, Vicky.Robert & Kate.Austin, TX

Vicki is AMAZING, we had a magical experience here this past weekend! We walked in and a woman was playing the in-shop piano gorgeously and completely spontaneously, come to find out. Vicki was so nice and knowledgeable, offering to open a bottle of Chardonnay for me to have a glass. Several of the neighborhood regulars came in while we were visiting and we had amazing conversation with them, just all around CHARMING!

Found this wonderful shop the first day I moved to Baltimore. Was made to feel right at home the minute I walked in. Vicki introduced herself and me to the others in the shop who welcomed me to the neighborhood. Made tons of good friends that night and make new ones each week at the Friday night tastings. This place is truly awesome - the wine selection rocks too!

Fantastic Wine Shop with wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Graet place to stop in for some local beers, wine on tap and other fantastic wines by the glass. Enjoy a glass outside or inside in the comfortable lounge area with friends. I was told they do live music on Friday nights also which I bet is a must see. Great local place.

How can you not love a wine and spirits store with its own Wine Dog and the best selection of Country French wines in the region? Wine by the glass is available every day and a great way to educate your palate. Vicki and her team are happy to recommend pairings for your dinner, your mood, or your special occasion.The piano is a welcome addition and the eclectic live music featured regularly makes this a great little meet up place.

My. Vernon Spirits is spirited indeed! This not-your-average wine shop offers a global selection of wines, domestic craft beers and a full range of alcohol (thrilled to find high end rums from Puerto Rico and Nicaragua, f.ex.). Swing by for the free wine tasting on Friday’s and meet the neighbors, hear live music and you’ll truly feel the SPIRIT of Mt Vernon! Awesome owners always make you feel welcomed. I can’t brag enough about this amazing shop - it’s an unassuming and unexpected find - so much more than a liquor store; it exudes charm, and transports you back in time in a historic neighborhood. It’s a light & airy, LGBTQ friendly supper club - sans supper - ! (for that you go next door to Marie Louise Bistro!) Great for gifts and you get a discount on bulk orders. Cheers!

Vicki sets the bar high as the most hospitable and genuine business owner in Baltimore. She greets everyone and their dog by name, and new patrons are welcomed with open arms. She and her Spirits of Mt. Vernon team have created an atmosphere of wholehearted and neighborly friendliness, coupled with top notch class and comfort. Whether your knowledge of wine and spirits is limited or extensive, Vicki and her team offer exceptional wine pairings and recommendations. Spirits of Mt. Vernon is the best kept secret in town.

Mt. Vernon Wine and Spirits is generous in every way. Great helpful staff, knowledgeable and reasonable and you can now sit outside and drink wine. Selection is top notch and they also have cheeses and meats and mixers which is great when in a bind or need clutch additions to a meal or when attending a function. Easy to grab and go. Great music and tasting and perfect for private parties and special events.

What an incredible find! I came across this store during a business trip to Baltimore. I told the staff what kind of wine I wanted, and they instantly knew which bottles to suggest. The atmosphere is very appealing, staff is very friendly and approachable, location is great, and the wine selection was excellent. My only negative comment is that they close kind of early. If I lived in Baltimore, I would visit this business very frequently!

A bright, cheerful and knowledgeable business women awaits your questions and curiosity when you enter this palisades of taste and comfortable times. The owner is a rare find in the business world as well as a find in her ability to demonstrate and present wines of innumerable variety and pleasure.There is a highly diverse spirit section with again a real presentation of variety and choice.I have been a customer of this store almost from its beginning. My mistake was not going there earlier. I honestly recommend a visit to this relaxed environment of liquid pleasure. If you want, one has the opportunity to try some spirits that are being offered for a most reasonable cost. The best should not be missed!
