    It's been three years now, so the verdict is finally in: Guilty of bad service…read more This liquor store has been the fallback location for when the Provincial store is closed or busy. There is no disputing the fact that their inventory is impressive; however, the level of service is on a level just shy of abysmal. After three years, I don't think that I was served by the same person twice, and high turnover and crap service is always due to a tyrannical manager/owner. I might have received a smile and a "Thank you" once, but that would have been quite some time ago. What is normal is a collection of female employees gathered in the cashier area so engaged in their conversation that a customer is an obvious and unwelcome presence. There have been numerous occasions when I went to the counter to ask about a specific product only to be completely ignored. If I dared interrupt the flow of the conversation, the result was always the same: a visible and overly theatrical annoyance. As a result, we've reached the stage where an evening of sobriety is preferable to being subjected to the tender mercies of the Blackfish Employee Perpetual Conversation Group. Our last visit was our "last" visit. I made the mistake of seeking someone's attention in the conversation ring, and each employee deliberately chose to avoid my presence, even though half of them were faced in my direction. I then brought my intended purchase back to its place of origin on its shelf, and walked out. It's a shame, as we really enjoy the Blackfish Pub, but the liquor store is risking giving the pub a bad reputation for sharing the same name.

    reliable hours.. down to the minute when busses only get you there in the nick of time.. kudos!…read moresome of the staff get extra valiant over needless manners some of the managers have attitude. but the rest of them are an absolute joy to be served by. if someone sneezes and nobody says bless you, ur hands get whacked.. put it that way. now ur getting hit for not doing their job

    It you live on Bowen, you tend to lean quite heavily on this liquor store, hence the reason why its…read morehours of operation are so lavish and accommodating. There's a notable flaw that makes frequenting this location completely unbearable: one too many jobsworths on the payroll. I'm not the type of emotionally underdeveloped person who needs a standing ovation and a foot rub whenever I enter a shop; however, I do require the basics...like speech. On my last visit, the clerk was fully preoccupied with his telephone, tapping away madly, when we arrived at the counter with over $100 worth of purchases. Without a word from the clerk, our items were hurriedly scanned, and we were then prompted to pay electronically. During the entire process, the clerk only looked up from his phone to scan our purchases, and then just as quickly returned to his phone again. This is the abysmal standard set by this employee, and one other. So, after spending thousands of dollars over the years at this location, to be treated like I'm an unnecessary intrusion is more than a little insulting. What makes this so tragic is that there is an incredible person named Paul working there as well, and he's so kind and efficient that he's a utter marvel. However, with the two jobsworths, the contrast between the different levels of service is the equivalent of a beautiful Meissen plate stacked with a badly spoiled meat sandwich. If you're a commuter, or visitor, I would not recommend this store until they sort out their employee issues.

    Great shop with a selection of interesting wines selected by a knowledgeable and friendly owner…read more Also a solid offering of craft beers, including many of the best W Coast IPA's. Fair prices and some good deals too!

    Awesome selection with extremely friendly and helpful staff!…read more For a small store, they sure have a number of options. When we walked in, we were immediately helped. They showed us the "Beer Cave" in the back, which has cold beer organized by where the beer is from and there is a whole wall of beers from Vancouver, Whistler and the surrounding areas. They asked what we normally drink and pointed us to some of their favorites. There's free parking right outside the store.

    To tell me that I was writing is so funny because I had my autistic son with me. I tried to help…read morethem that my son can't wear shoes and so I was trying to match him. We were supposed to be in and out and then I got upset because he didn't wanna listen about my son. I tried to go back the next day with clothes on, and he literally looked me in the eyes and said that he chose not to serve me again because it was his job at the time. The man is an asshole, and he's a dominator. No woman should ever go to this place let alone a man that respects a woman. If I had shoes off one night. That's fine but I was with my son who was autistic, and I tried to tell them that. I tried to go and the next day properly closed and apologize formally, and he still looked me in the eyes and said well it's my choice to serve you or not and I'm not gonna serve you. Fuck this guy and fuck this place. If they keep this guy on highier, it's only to take your money. I don't listen to the Man. He's extremely disrespectful. He will make every excuse. If you look back at all of the reviews, there's a lot about him. He's not OK. I've been coming to Worcester for over 20 years. He is not a kind man.
