I tried it at the Hopscotch Festival, it was deliciousness personified and I desperately want to spread it through my family. Unfortunately, it also seems like something that is difficult to find (not a huge demand yet). It was here, in a 6-pack or a case. And they have a 4-pack of Somersby's Blackberry cider! It's like a little liquor heaven! But really, product blah blah blah. I'm going to recommend you go to this place because of the amazing service I received. The clerk actually said "hello" cheerfully when I walked in. I KNOW. Outside of Japanese restaurants, a cheerful "hello" seems to be dying out. Not only that but when I asked her about the Taiwan Beer (I wish I knew her name; she didn't have a tag on), she was pure helpfulness. When I decided on the case (I mentioned that I want to infect my family with its deliciousness, right?), she picked up the case for me and brought it to the counter. I've NEVER had a clerk do that for me. They're usually standing there, watching me fumble clumsily with it, juggling everything plus my purse. The transaction itself was quick and friendly and then she carried the case to my car. I had added a tip to the cup but at that point, I wish I had added much more. Liquor stores are a dime a dozen; good service is worth its weight in gold. Definitely recommend.

Then I met one of workers who helped me out and gave me a wealth of knowledge about everything from whiskey to sake. I wish I would've grabbed his name, but unfortunately I didn't. Although it is a bit pricier than the states, there were some pretty good sales going on. Plus the store is super organized and offers everything from local Canadian Staples like Molson Canadian beer, craft beer from local breweries, whiskey's and sake's and everything in between. Only downside is a bit lacking on the mixers. Highly recommend coming here.

Hello BCLIQUOR Team, I am contacting you to congratulate you for having amazing staff at the…read moreRichmond, BC. Brighouse store. It has been a few times when I am wandering through the store looking for a gift. Today, I was probably one minute in the store when Francis approached me to ask if I needed help. He had a paper in his hand and I knew he was in the middle of something. Regardless, he answer my question about a wine for my boss and made a recommendation. Disappointed, I mentioned that unfortunately the wine was sold out. He ask me if I could wait a couple of minutes while he was going to get three bottles of his recommendation that had jut arrived. I mean, this is the definition of goin above and beyond. In the mean time Angelo, another staff that happened to be restocking the BC wines was also helping me. I want to say this is the best liquor store with the most helpful, kind, and knowledgable staff. I then asked Jerry, at the cashier if it was possible to speak with the Supervisor. Jerry very kindly called the supervisor and took me to her. Candy, was the Supervisor in turn and she was so appreciative for the acknowledgement I expressed about the unparalleled service at this store. Thank you so much for all your kindness, help and consideration. It is always such an great experience to go to this store

Also, you can get a free bag of ice with a purchase--any purchase, even if it's not alcohol (I got free ice with purchase of margarita mix). [Yelp collections: Wine Time!]

We bought 8 wines and being the savvy shoppers that we are, they were all on sale. Out of the 8 wines 4 of them were scanned incorrectly. We had to go back in the store and get a price adjustment. We ended up walking out with refund of $10 due to price adjustments. Thank goodness the ladies there accepted the price difference and gave us a refund without any hassle. Overall: I would come back as they have better selection and a bit better pricing than BC Liquor (on most things), but remember to check your bill to make sure the prices are right! Make Bob Barker proud!

Once I entered the store was pleasantly greeted by an attendant Jess and she was super helpful recommending an array of beers, wine, and spirits from their vast selection. Being an independent liquor store they offer unique international alcoholic wine and spirits you cannot find at your local BC Liquor stores. The store is so new that their payment system is not even set up to collect the deposit fee which is an extra bonus. YVR employees get a 10% discount on everything in the store and they offer a members reward program (no membership fee) which earns 1% on every dollar spent (example: spend $500 = $5 reward towards next purchase).

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.

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.
