My daughter went with my niece to purchase alcohol. My niece was of age and had I.D. to prove it…read more When they went to the cash register she asked my daughter for I.D. and my daughter said she didn't have any (even though she wasn't purchasing the alcohol!!) The LCBO employee then denied the purchase stating she "overheard" them talking. I then came into the store to which the employee told me she couldn't sell me alcohol because it was now a 3rd party sale!! Here I am, a grown women, being denied alcohol sales by some women who has decided to profile innocent girls who weren't doing anything illegal!! I've been coming to this LCBO for the past 15 years and I've never run into this. I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars and today was told no by a girl named Tess!!! I know it sounds like I'm ranting but give me a break!! If I truly wanted to purchase the alcohol for my daughter I would have done it myself!! Bottom line, Port Carling is a very small town and business is seasonal, this is purely someone who is abusing their (lack of) power!!!

Quite possibly the smallest liquor store in Ontario…read more I was honestly surprised with the amount of selection at this place. This LCBO is a small building located right beside a convenience store just outside of the Pointe-au-Baril Archipelago, and just a couple minutes away from Sturgeon Bay Park. My camping group and I made this a favored destination over the three days we were in the area, largely due to the deceptively-diverse amount of stock at the place. We picked up several bottles of rum and spirits to share between us, and the store had a surprising number of choices. (We ended up settling for Kraken rum - that stuff sneaks up on you.) The store also had a vintage cabinet and a fair amount of wines to choose from. The employees were helpful and gave us some helpful recommendations. This is exactly the kind of service and offering I'd expect from a far-out-of-the-way location. While it may not be as varied as some of the locations in Southern Ontario, this LCBO is undeniably convenient and had helpful and fast service. The building that looks like a converted home is just the icing on the cake. Well worth a look if you're up in the area.

Key Features: Premium selections, not often seen outside of Toronto…read more There's your Blue, and your Canadian, and all that stuff - sure. It's a beer store. You walk in, you stand - awkwardly - in line, and make your way to the front of the line. Once there you need to know what you want - speak it aloud - and magically the case appears on the roller ramp beside you. Because it's a beer store, there's no way to ask for opinions, or advice. That would be breaking protocol. But, what this location does have is some very nice Canadian microbrews. I'd found myself searching for La Fin du Monde, and could only locate it in Toronto. It's a 9% Quebec beer that has a distinct flavour - it manages to carry a high alcohol content, while not being offensive. I was shocked to discover this beer up in Huntsville, but this factor alone raises my score one star. Yes, it's a lifeless, and loveless, beer store - but, hey, they've got great taste.

That said, I still hate the wall-of-beer over LCBO-style get-your-own. Given the proximity of the LCBO in Parry Sound, I don't know why I didn't just go there. In any case, four stars 'cause I still got plenty drunk.

The cashiers were very rude to us. They demanded ID from my friend even though he was not buying or…read moretouching anything. They became argumentative with him when he pointed out that he was not legally required to present ID. Following this, one of the cashiers was condescending and rude to my boyfriend about his height. Terrible customer service all around.

BOTTOM LINE: An elevated snack bar with all-day service!…read more Located just outside the main strip in Bala is this rustic chic spot that doubles as a casual (take-out) cafe and fancy dining spot. This review is for the cafe/breakfast part, and I'll need to come back for dinner one day. Reservations are for dinner only. First of all, the menu is EXTENSIVE, which was pleasantly surprising given how compact the indoor appeared to be (unless there's a backroom I missed!). From various pastries, brunch specials, salads, hearty sandwiches, and pizzas, everything looked looked pretty fresh and hearty. There's also a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks The SMOKED BRISKET GRILLED CHEESE AU JUS definitely hit the spot with rich slices of brisket, chewy gruyere cheese, and a tasty dipping just. The JERUSALEM SPICED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL SAMMIE lightly battered crispy chicken that was more like a chicken tender than a traditional schnitzel, but it was more ergonomic that way in sammie form. Their pickled toppings gave it a good balance of flavours. That said, from a presentation/portion/value perspective, both plates looked barren with just the sammies, and I think throwing even a pinch of some greens on the side would really complete things. Overall, a great spot to come by if you're in the area!

Stopped in before a girls weekend on Lake Couchiching to stock up on some essentials (aka booze…read morelol). It looks to me that this location is brand new or close to it, super spacious and bright - seemed to offer anything a person could want in terms of alcohol. They also have a large craft beer selection - epic! Was able to find everything I was looking for plus a couple of beer "goodies" for my fiance to take back home to Toronto. The lady who checked me out was super friendly, much appreciated! Definitely would stop in again if in the area!
