So pack your patience!

It's difficult and probably pointless to rate a monopolistic retailer whose stores are highly…read morehomogenous -- but damnit I'll try. The Beer Store plays by its own rules, so I'll highlight some of the differences that make this location a gem. For starters, there is a big fat juicy parking lot out front. It's steps from the Don Valley Parkway --in case you felt like grabbing a two-four and sitting in traffic -- and because of the convergent nature of Toronto's east-west streets is extremely close to King, Queen and Dundas streets east. I used to work nearby and the staff was pretty cool about letting us borrow carts to transport 24s. In a neighbourhood such as this, that shows a lot of trust. If I was at the corner of Queen and River and needed a beer, I can think of no better place to scoop one up. Especially because legally, I can't buy cases anywhere else. Obligatory Title Pun: Is that a beer in your pocket or are you just HOPPY to see me? Menu Readability: Too many options. Need to mention: If you see a homeless man out front with a winning smile and the brightest blue eyes you've ever seen: that's John. What this place teaches me about myself: Not a damn thing, really.

This LCBO location is one of the click and collect locations. Since I have been avoiding going in…read morestores for too long for any kind of shopping, LCBO's online shopping option was such a great one for me. The process is simple. You shop and pre-pay online on the LCBO site and you get an email when your order is ready for pick-up which is usually less than 24 hrs. Once you receive the email, you go to the store and give them your order number, they bring out your order and off you go. What I really appreciated from this location was their carry out service. The very kind gentleman brought my order out to my car and placed it in the trunk for a truly contactless service.

This store needs employees to trust their customers more and just check if they are telling the truth, because this behaviour of nickel and diming people off money they may need for basic groceries of certain employees just encourages people to exxagerate their can counts, and I save them time by counting before I even leave. Please do better, or I may go somewhere else to return the cans and bottles, as much I want to stay in the area. Thank you!

Been to a few beer stores in the city and I have to say, this one has to be the cleanest and…read morefriendliest location in the whole province. The store is divided into 3 sections, 3 areas. One is to drop off your empties, another is the cooler section and the third is check-out. Young and friendly staff, they did a good job at stressing customer service to their employees. The place doesn't smell of booze like some of the other seedy locations. Bonus is that it's close to my work. So on the way home, grab a cold one!

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a government controlled quasi monopoly for liquor…read moresales in the Ontario province of Canada. I say quasi monopoly since beer and wine are sold at "The Beer Store" and a few exceptions to distilleries, breweries and wineries. At the LCBO you can find your typical hard liquors from all over the world and premixed alcoholic beverages that I don't even see at specialty alcohol stores back in the states. I was so intrigued by the wide selection at the LCBO. I was definitely not trying to dehydrate myself on my trip, but I was just curious by the variety of flavors available. I decided to get: - Snapple Spiked Peach Tea Vodka ($2.80 CAD) - Rockstar Watermelon Freeze ($3.40 CAD) - Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer for Grown Ups ($2.85 CAD) - Crazy Uncle Hard Cream Soda for Grown Ups ($2.85 CAD) - Black Fly Sour Raspberry ($2.85 CAD) These cans have a 10cents recycling fee per can and a 13% already included tax. I like that the tax is already included in the prices so there are no surprises at check out. I can definitely see how a 13% tax affects more pricey liquors. No wonder why I was asked if I brought over any alcohol when I was checking in through customs. Nevertheless I respect it. Canada has REAL healthcare for everyone so at least the tax is going to the right places. I really enjoyed my pre spiked cans of alcohol. I especially liked the Snapple Spiked Tea Vodka and it is definitely something I would drink all of the time if they had it in the states. The sodas were a bit too sweet for me since I do not usually drink soda. I will keep that in mind the next time I find myself at an LCBO. I was especially pleased at check out when the sweet young man behind the counter asked to see my ID. The legal age to drink in Canada is 19!! I feel extra extra flattered that he asked me for my ID and I slightly giggled as I reached for my passport. I was complimented on how young I looked. Canadians are the sweetest!! ~ And I believe this to be universal... If you drink, don't drive - Si vous buvez, ne prenez pas le volant ;)
