As who the heck carries their actual passport around to buy groceries and swing by to grab wine right? And not everyone drives so not necessarily has a drivers license. And these people. They get it! I was recently at another store (different company) and they not only wanted a drivers license but one more photo ID hello I only have a BCID and passport and I'm not carrying my passport daily for errands. It was ridiculous. Oh and the fact the BCID was expired. Um expired or not does not change my age that's stated on the card . So glad west coast understands. The purpose of asking for ID is to verify my age. I should not need to carry my entire portfolio of ID and credentials to get a bottle of wine not at 39 years old anyways I will always come here.

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.

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.

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.

The woman working here is so rude. We didn't know that you needed 2 forms of our ID as we are from…read morethe US so this is not something we were used to. We are all 21+, but just didn't carry around a passport while out and about for safety reasons. Just a misunderstanding and we were totally okay with coming back with proper ID, but the woman was quite rude when telling us this information initially. She practically yelled from the register while we were shopping. When we tried to ask clarifying questions she immediately dismissed us and kept yelling that we need two forms of ID. There was a group of 6 of us and some of us had decided to stay back while 2 of us went to the store with 2 forms of ID. When they were trying to check out with another employee, the same woman came out and started yelling that since all 6 of us hadn't come back with 2 forms of ID, she wouldn't serve my friends at all. I don't understand what we did to make her so mad because it was truly a misunderstanding about the ID but she was so mean to us and it was overall such an unpleasant experience.

Every time that I have stopped by to pick up a bottle, the staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. When they are not assisting anyone at the till, they are walking around the shop. They are great on providing recommendations, and showing you around the shop. Selection: They have a nice selection of wines. They carry a lot of local wines, but also have international ones. Price: You really can't beat the value in this shop! They literally have sections divided for Wines under $10, $15, and above $20. So pleasing for any budget. (By the way, the under $10 wines are not crap. They are pretty good!) Definitely my favourite place in North Van to pick up a bottle of wine!

When I got off the bus and so Granville I thought oh there used to be a government liquor store here surely the goodness serious at least a private one nearby. And so I found Jaks and it was a wonderful experience . Great selection, more like a baby LCB than a wine store or some of the other liquor Outlets just basically have a lineup of basically overly marked up pricing. I just drink something like polarize or silent Sam with low-cal cranberry juice on the Rocks but as a martini. I was able to purchase four bottles and the only markup was two bucks . Two bucks. After just paying almost $10 more for a 26 year Alberta vodka. And they actually wanted $44 for $28 bottle of Absolute Vodka. Upmarket gouging never sits well with me. So, while I still mostly by my vodka at a government store, when I want to just go out and have a lovely afternoon and bring home some wine and some vodka i zoom up from my little corner of Yale town by bus to the south Granville District and pick up my supplies . Thanks guys , you are doing a great service to us Vancouver rights and I for one I'm delighted and happy to support you.
