Tick Tock Liquors
4 reviews for Tick Tock Liquors
don't kid yourself. you can't get rid of this place. this place will out live you and your children. an atomic bomb will go off and everything within a 200 mile radius will be reduced to rubble, cinder, and ash, but this place will still be standing and it will find a drunk to patronize its' innards. no matter how many gang fights break out in the parking lot or people get stabbed in the back, this place will be here. sure, the man might even be able to knock down its' late night selling hours from 2 am to 12 am, but this place ain't going anywhere. it laughs at you when you come in cause it knows no matter how sketchy you may fill while wandering around the isles - you'll be back. yes, you will be back for more.
no matter how many times you see a pregnant woman standing in line with a pint of mad dog and a pack of camel light cigs.... you will be back. you've been here before. many times. the first time was probably in college when the keg went dry at 1 am and you and a couple of buddies piled into a car, hit the gas, skidded into the parking lot, and bust in through the doors at 1:50 am to buy a couple of cases of whatever low grade beer that was on sale. yeah, you've been here and you'll be back. only this time you might be picking up a belgian ale or a bottle of jameson or even a bottle of merlot.
you know there's going to be a time when it's 6 am and hell be damned if you don't need a drink...... and there it is. waiting for you like the dog in the window when you just got home from summer vacation. it licks you when you pass through the doors.
they should just blow this place up like a giant mushroom cloud, you think to yourself, but you know better. this place was here before you were born and it will be here after you are dead. this is the church of the desperate, desolate, and drunk. this place ain't going anywhere. it will outlive the roaches.
When your professor proudly announces you can find cheap forties and tons of great liquor, you listen.
Tick Tock is an awesome Langley Park liquor store, family-owned by some Indian immigrants.
Seriously, from Bud Light for beer pong to Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, you can find pretty much anything you want for a reasonable price. 'Nuff said.
Go drink. Make love. Yelp.
Soon after I turned 21 I paid a legitimate visit to Tick Tock with a friend.. As I approached the counter, the clerk asked for my ID. Not believing it was genuine, he asked one of the cops stationed at the door to come check it out. He also asked my friend his age. He was 20, so the clerk told him to get out. The cop then said to the clerk "Why'd you tell him to go outside, its dangerous out there", Not recognizing a NY ID, the cop went to get the drivers license book in the back. When he returned he said "Its your lucky day, someone stole the book". So I finally finished the transaction and left with the booze. This place has a great selection, but its located in a shady area. If you're in College Park, there are better options (especially the Village Pump).
Geez this place is still in business? I have not been here since I was 17. I have a friend who used to work at the bar next door. He said cops hang out there a lot and one night they were all in the back watching a bestiality film! Yeah, there are a lot of gang fights and its a bad part of town. Get your beer somewhere else.
