Spirits of Mt Vernon — Restaurant in Baltimore

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.

First met Vicki at Spirits of Mt Vernon in 2009 and since then, I have come to know her as a passionate advocate for the neighborhood of Mount Vernon and all of Baltimore.

Vicki doesn't just offer wine and liquor for sale, she offers a place for locals to congregate and connect. She supports other businesses in the area and is always connecting customers and neighbors.

I've introduced friends and co-workers alike to Vicki and Spirits of Mt Vernon, and they all walk away saying the same..."Vicki's wine store is a neighborhood gem and a gathering location for all."

As for the selection of wines and liquors, you will find some of the best selections from across the U.S. and Europe and if you can't find it, Vicki will order it for you.

And if you want a taste, there are wines by the glass for sale that can be consumed on premises. And the staff at Spirits will do their part to help with a bottle selection or serve you a glass.

All around, a top place to shop and visit with an owner who cares...

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 isn't (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...
