  This place is absolutely terrible. One of the worst stores in town because they only cater to bums and drug addicts who come in 10 times a day or young rough types only in the store taking up space trying to cash their work checks. They make all of their money through wholesale business to local bars and restaurants so walk-in retail business is not a priority and they treat their rare decent customers like garbage. Their employees are all nice people but all of them have been working there for decades with no raises or respect or value with the exception of the store manager Kelly Burris who is completely unprofessional, incompetent and disrespectful in his position and only has the job because of his family and his deep lack of ability to do anything else. They claim to have the best whiskey selection and prices in Charleston but that's far from true; all of their specialty allocations are reserved for big bar business or personal friends so if you're a customer looking to spend money on rare bottles they will lie to your face or they simply won't let you buy any of them. They have a pathetic wine selection and they are constantly calling the police on people loitering outside, fighting, harassing people for money or being too drunk to function because the store is so desperate to take everyone's $2 they serve the same individual several times in a row. Overall this business should not even function as a retail destination and every other store in town offers an infinitely better customer experience- better selection, better prices and you don't have to deal with someone as incoherently unqualified as Kelly Burris.
