If you're going to live in a place where the government runs the liquor store at least Ontario…read moreknows how to do it (most of the time). So it's Sunday before a Monday holiday and I realize it's 5:45pm and I haven't a drop of booze for a BBQ I'm attending tomorrow. AHHH!!! Ok don't panic, some place has got to be still open! Luckily, the LCBO on Bayfield Street in Barrie is open until 6pm on Sundays, which quite possibly saved my life. Not only was it open, it has the best selection of beer and party drinks I've seen at an LCBO in a long time! Maybe it's catering to the cottage country crowd but there are even more beers to choose from here than in most Toronto LCBOs. They have a good VQA selection as well as a large selection of wines from across the world. On this visit I got: 4 tall cans of Steamwhistle (my favourite!), 2 Muskoka Cream Ales (read my Volo review), a bottle of Fresita (only the best strawberry wine from Chile), and the wife got plenty of other essential survival items as well. Thanks LCBO for making my long weekend BBQ a success.

The hours posted are not correct, Dial A bottle closes in the evening and doesn't open till late…read moremorning, also the area advertised is not always covered, I have had many people refer me to Dial A bottle because they "deliver regularly to my area" and they are one of the only services that advertise that, "we will deliver to your area!"and when I phone I'm told they do not deliver to me and cannot help me in any way. Very Very poor service, if you can find another service I would strongly recommend anything else, even calling a taxi to pick it up for you, it might cost more but they'll actually get you what you order without arguments over the order or over your payment/change. I strongly recommend using any other company. When visiting friends or family I have regularly tried using them and have not once had an order delivered correctly, and have multiple times been charged for things I did not order and had to fight with the delivery person over the bill. I wish I could give them zero Stars

Simple order: a 6-pack of beer, a bottle of wine, and Smirnoff coolers. Got a call from the…read moredelivery guy while he was at the LCBO, telling me he couldn't find the wine, and spent more than 5 minutes on the phone with me, before finally asking for and finding a wine. Arrives, and has a gift pack ($12 more) of the 6-pack of beer, and was stunned when he realized the price - he hadn't even looked when he bought it! He went to get the right beer, called me from a different location asking me if I wanted the gift pack or the 12 pack... neither of which we asked for - he wasn't at the LCBO... he was at the beer store at this point. Told me (with exasperation) that it would be longer b/c he'd have to go back to the LCBO - not sure why I had to tell him that yes, that would have to happen b/c we had ordered the 6. Wow. Never again.
