I had trouble placing an online order today, but a nice guy on the phone helped me make it…read more Delivery guy shows up in good time. Problem starts with proof of age. I've never driven, so I got an NS ID card (for voting, passports don't have addresses). It's expired but worked for the recent municipal, provincial and federal elections. I have a valid MSI card with my birthdate and a picture ID on the Costco card I used to place the order. Nothing was acceptable and he wouldn't/couldn't leave the order. I am 71.

I showed up to pick up my online order which was worth almost $150. I had a copy of my drivers…read morelicense and passport on my phone but they wouldn't accept them despite the fact it is 2025. I had to go home and get my physical ID and come back. When I complained the man working there proceeded to to argue with me and was very rude. His coworkers were even apologizing for him. I am a loyal customer but this is probably my last time there.

Named after the former city jail in the north end, RockHead, the booze dispensary formerly known as…read morePremier Wines, just opened up in the North and Windsor Sobeys. It's not a huge store, but they have a nice selection of what I assume are some good wines, mostly higher-end liquors, and a nice little niche that they seem to be carving out in the craft beer market, which is more of my bag. They have a couple racks and coolers of the many great beer offerings from around Nova Scotia, as well as regional ones like Picaroons and Dieu du Ciel. I just want to buy them all and stock my own beer fridge! The kicker though is the great idea that they had to offer growlers of beer for brewers that are located outside of the city and are unable to do so here. When I was there on Super Bowl Sunday they had their own RockHead pale ale (made by Garrison I believe), Butcher's Block Red and Hippie Dippie Pale Ale from Tatamagouche Brewing, and Boxing Rock's Vicar's Cross double IPA. Deposit on the growler bottles is $7, and re-fills seem to range from $10-$15, both plus tax. This is a fantastic addition to the neighbourhood, especially since this is in my go-to grocery store. I'm looking forward to quenching my thirst with RockHead's delicious offerings.

The worst experience in a town full of fabulous service. Woman working in the store today wearing a…read moreturquoise blue tee shirt could not have been more rude. Had we not needed wine to take to an event we would have walked out. We do not recommend this store. You can do better elsewhere even self serve. This employee was a misery. Steer clear.

Great wine shop! If you have the time, look around at some of the unique and interesting varieties…read more Guaranteed, you'll find something you haven't heard of/tried before. I personally think Bishop's Cellar would benefit from having a bit more of a description system. Perhaps a little placard with some details: eg: dry, full, organic. These are also excellent for stipulating how wines have placed in wine shows. eg: 91 pts. Whether or not you're a connoisseur you can use these to determine which ones you might be interested in trying. That's as opposed to picking the bottle with the prettiest design/colour combo. (hey, that's what I fall back on) Good local and imported cold beer options too! The absolute selling point of Bishop's Cellar has to be the hours they keep. A beer/wine store that's open until midnight on Friday's and Saturday's as well as holidays has been a saving grace for me on more than one occasion!

I am not from Nova Scotia and was directed to this store by another NSLC location....thank you!…read more As soon as I walked in I knew by the greeting the staff was educated in the store offerings. Great store if you are looking for vintage wine selections.

They have wine tastings and all sorts of other events/happenings on the go, so it's a really great place for wine enthusiasts. Wish I could afford to try all their stuff, but maybe one day!! Staff are super friendly.

This particular location is HUUUGE, with a ton of selection. They've got chilled white wine (love that), the giant beer cooler fridge thing (bring a sweater) and excellent staff who are more than willing to help you if you're not sure what you're looking for. This is always our go-to place for weekly wine, though we do tend to stray to the more boutique wine shops when we're looking for something extra special.
