Virginia Abc - Grottoes

Sometimes you just want to visit a place where everyone recognizes you.

I arrived at the restaurant wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet with a DOT-approved shield, which is ten times safer than a regular fabric mask. However, when I opened the helmet's shield, I was informed that I could not enter. It’s important to note that in Virginia, wearing a mask is illegal, and I understand the use of plastic shields in hospitals during a pandemic. A young man approached me, seemingly trying to assert his authority, but I really don’t know what he was aiming to accomplish.

According to state law, individuals with medical conditions that affect their breathing are not required to follow mask mandates. (Although these mandates are illegal, that’s not the main issue here.) I was refused service because I couldn’t wear a mask due to my asthma, despite informing the employee of my condition, which they dismissed.

Went there hoping to find one of my favorite popular Bourbons. But naturally it never lasts on the shelf. Met TC for the first time and he made a great suggestion for alternatives. Customer service is always great here.

Very friendly as soon as you walk in, very clean an organized. I like this store above any of the others.
