An average-sized liquor store in the middle of the city…read more Parking is a bit lacking here. Best best is to try the side streets. Staff here are a bit lacking. I had to walk around for several minutes looking for somebody. Even looked in the back - no dice. It looked like there were only 2 people working there. The selection is a bit small, but it will meet one's basic needs. For more stuff, go to the Signature store on Cambie.

Came here because bus stopped right in front. Decided to check it out. I didn't buy anything. So…read morewent in and pretty standard. Was kind of looking for Soju but didn't see any. Smaller selection compared to the bigger BC liquor store. It has the common stuff. Pretty organized and clean inside. Very spacious as well If you go all the way to the bank they have the bottle return it center. Its ok. Not bad.

I've been to quite a few BC Liquor Stores in the Van area since I moved here. I find the prices of…read morewines and ciders and beers to be less expensive in these BC stores than those at private, more specialty liquor/wine stores, in general (even though the BC stores may not have specialty vintages. But hey, I'm not a wine connoisseur so what do I care? lol). This particular BC Liquor store is a decent place to get alcohol. It's a mid-size store (i.e., half the other BC Liquor stores I've been to are larger, and half are smaller. This one is perfectly "medium" sized), and it usually has whatever alcoholic beverages I'm shopping for at the moment. This store is conveniently located on Cambie, across from Whole Foods, Canada Tire, Home Depot and Save-On Foods, and there's a huge London Drugs around the corner on Broadway. So... it really is in the middle of a prime shopping area. What is most notable about this BC Liquor store is that there is FREE underground parking available, only for customers of this store. I've not seen this feature at any other BC Liquor store, and boy, on a rainy day, this feature is SUPER nice. I have had good luck with the customer service in this store, too. When I've asked staff for wine recommendations, they have never steered me wrong. This site may not have all the bells and whistles that the larger stores do, but for my purposes (and, I'd guess, for most people), they have WAY more than enough.

Came by for some, well, liquor…read more Parking is available directly below. There are bars everywhere. The parking lot looks like a prison. Oh well, can't complain about free spots. This location has been around for decades and therefore looks super dated from the outside. The interior has been modernized to match the other locations though. There is a Coldzone (cold beer and wine) section, but it is pathetically small. I'm sure some people have larger fridges at home. See photo. There was no cold beer at all. I left with a warm pack of beer and eyes full of tears.

Some events are free and some have a fee so look on-line under Events for details and how to buy tickets. Since I am close to the Cambie store, I buy the tickets at the customer service counter. Friends and I will be going to 3 paid (reasonable like $15-20 per event) tastings. Last evening, we attended the Spanish Wine Tasting with Tapas and had a fantastic time learning directly from the winemaker/owner from Spain and served delicious authentic tapas from a food truck vendor, Boca'o. A fantastic mixed group with some beginners to experienced wine lovers. I also appreciate the small size of the room for about 20 people so felt like an intimidate gathering. For the price and experience, what a value. After the tasting, opportunities to buy the wines and have it autographed from the winemaker. The liquor store staff were also helpful in answering additional questions and where to locate other wines in the store for comparison.

The BC liquor stores are closed right now, so I thought I'd come here since its close to my house…read more I needed a bottle of wine for Thanksgiving dinner, but I didn't see any of my usual picks. They had a nice selection of wines, but most of them I wasn't familiar with. The lady working there obviously saw my confusion and offered to help me. I told her what I was looking for, and she gave me some options. I decided on a French wine, and hoped for the best. It turned out to be amazing and everyone loved it. More than I usually pay for wine but definitely worth it! Awesome customer service. I'll be back.

S9 I just had the Manager of West Coast Liquor store. Call me up on my cell to scream at me. A…read morecomplaint apparently made by an East Indian student. Don't know the students name, but he was new and I asked him where he came from, was he a student. He told me he go his Masters at UBC in cyber security. I asked out of curiosity because I use the store consistently. He talked about the fact there were no jobs in his field in BC. And he would have to try and find a job in Toronto or something. In my opinion you would think if their are no jobs in Canada, the best course would be take his valuable education back to his homeland. It's actually unbelievable that India doesn't have it own Universities. We have over abundance of foreign students. Instead of having to set up a whole new life without family. I would go home. Which is why I said to him maybe he should go back to India. I should have followed up w good luck finding a job in his field. If the worker is that sensitive he shouldn't be in Canada. I didn't say anything racist. I was just offering a possibility. So the Manager screamed at me, they won't accept or tolerate...exactly what did I do wrong. I asked him questions because he was new. And we've recently had a flood of foreign students moving into Kerrisdale. So the Manager yells at me and tells me I won't ever be able to buy drinks at his store again. I think he forgets who's paying for his salary. No skin off of me. There are plenty of stores everywhere. I wonder how long this kids student visas lasts. Anybody watching global news. Especially, what's going on in France. Will know there is now a serious backlash towards immigration. And that it well know that foreign students, decide they want a life here. And will break the law to stay. My personal politics have nothing to do with my questions. Manager is just being a dick and thinks it okey to call me up and tear a strip of of me. When I did absolutely nothing wrong. Was trying to get to know the new guy. If he walks around with an attitude that the World is out to get him. Then maybe it is. We don't go invading other people's countries. Build you own Universities. We have overpopulation and now the incoming immigrants. Which cause over crowding, rental and house increases. And people who don't come with the intention of integrating. I didn't say anything of this kind. He seemed fine talking about himself. Poor me behavior is un becoming. And so is the nasty dad speech being overly outrageous. Wonder what his boss thinks about losing 700 dollars a month. Maybe I'll call him up. Already found a better store for less money. Give me a break man, pathetic all round.

This location is actually quite tricky to get into. The back of the building faces Willingdon, so…read moreyou're actually looking for an alley directly W of the street. Parking is available upstairs at the Safeway. Their lot covers the entire plaza AND the liquor store, so you're good. The location is one of the brighter lit ones (good). There are samples to be had, and the staff are friendly. One of the few things the government gets right. Other than the fact the same stuff in USA is half the price.

I forgot about how tricky it was to get into this liquor store as I missed the tiny alleyway…read moreentrance on Pender Street and had to circle around and come on into this place from the Willingdon side. It is your friendly neighbourhood liquor store that has the lower prices from the privates and I'm all about saving some coin, especially on the alcohol front. They don't have a huge selection like the one that is across from my work (Cambie-Oakridge) but the prices are the same. They have a recycling area in the back, security guards watching so no one runs off stealing stuff. Parking is pretty good here, as you have the whole of the underground on the Safeway side to park, and walk a few steps and you are in here. Interesting design, as this is an older building, when you enter it's a regular door, with a handicap button, but when you leave, there is a big sliding door that goes sideways (so they must know people leave with shopping carts worth of booze). A good enough selection in terms of countries and regions for wine, as I said... your not getting signature store selection, but regular government prices. The big names, they got em, the smaller ones.. not so much. Considering the location of this one (hidden, a little) at least there is an option here. Just remember those hours of operation, and this is not private, so holidays.. this place ain't open!

I stopped in to pick up a few bottles while visiting and asked the staff for some recommendations…read more I ended up buying two local wines, but both were disappointing. One of them was easily the worst wine I've ever tasted -- extremely light in color and tasting as if it had been diluted. I even shared it with friends to make sure it wasn't just me, and everyone agreed it was terrible. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this shop. It felt like a tourist trap, and the recommendations did not reflect the quality I expected.

For a liquor store, you'd expect at least a decent bourbon and whiskey section, but it feels like they put zero effort into it. I stopped in specifically to shop for whiskey and left wondering why they even bother carrying it. Huge letdown.

I am a constant customer at this liquor store. First off, it's close by, secondly it's never busy,…read morenot even during this pandemic. Sometimes going to BC Liquor and trying to find parking, when I only need some light beer, itsn't worth it. The staff is quite friendly on the most part, and eager to help. I find as though I have to hunt someone down at BC Liquor for help. If you need basics, and are in the area, why not just go here. The prices are pretty close to BC Liquor. Check it out if you're in S. Van.

This review contains good and bad and still confusing do I return for shopping again…read more I was looking for specific Okanagan wine but unfortunately it was sold out. The knowledgeable clerk introduced similar one with more affordable price. So I decided to take it. This is good impression part. As the cashier and tap machine, beside of the wine cost, there were tipping selection buttons. Tips for what? For his knowledge? And it's a just liquor store not a bar. Why do they expect the customer pay the tip first of all? I really hate the idea. This is bad impression part. It's so sad that ruined my good feeling..... :(
