There was a very nice selection of liquor and wine, but most of it was much more expensive than in the US. I did get a bottle of Baileys birthday cake that I'd never seen before. They also had several Coors selzers that aren't available here. They had a fairly small selection of beer. I'll be back when I'm in Niagara Falls again.

Even though it's not right in the Clifton Hill area it is still packed with out of towners like me and locals. We actually had to wait for a parking spot because the lot is so full. Everywhere outside the lot you have to pay for parking, hence the traffic in the lot. The liquor prices aren't bad and they will accept USD, and credit. I'm not sure about debit, what I do know is they wouldn't accept my Discover card. Normally I use Amex but they're charging international rates, so the hell with them on this trip. Today I used cash and the clerk made the exchange and provided change in CA currency. I picked out a 200 ml bottle of Crown Royal which costly about 11 USD, not best, but still cheaper than what you're going to get at any restaurant here. I'll probably pop back in here one more time before we go to the NY side. I'm sure we will need another night out on the town, and that whiskey is unbelievably good on a cold night.

Despite the chilly weather, it was still a lovely afternoon sitting outside under the heat lamps. We ordered the cheese plate with naan, grilled pineapple, cucumber, and burrata cheese, and it was absolutely amazing! Such a great combination of flavours and the perfect appetizer to enjoy alongside drinks. The Double Oaked whiskey cocktail with peach lemonade was also a highlight; strong, flavourful, and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the menu and offer recommendations. They also checked on us regularly throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Great service, delicious food, and well-made drinks. Definitely worth a visit!

I just can't apologize enough.

The domestic beer selection was great, the pork belly was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the poutine was everything you hope it will be.

To top it all off, our bartender was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. If you're in the Niagara area and looking for great food, cold beer, and excellent service, I definitely recommend checking out Blind Pig. We'd happily come back on our next trip!

I've been meaning to try Tangerine Tortoise for a while and I live near it so we walked in and did a quick 20-minute stroll around the block while they made our pizzas. What stopped me from trying it in the past was the abundance of great pizza chains in St. Catharines. St. Catharines has amazing food places with unique appeal if you ever want to try them. I actually frequent Score Pizza, Twice the Deal Pizza, and Fat Cat when I'm craving a certain type of pizza depending on the situation. I have had a lot of great pizza around the Niagara region from Fat Cat's to Di's and plenty of others. They all have their own appeal but there is just something about the taste the menu and the overall vibe here that puts The Tangerine Tortoise at the top for me. We ordered the spicy pineapple and the prosciutto with pistachio nuts and both were amazing. My favorite was the spicy pineapple because of the hot honey glaze on top. It added the perfect kick and sweetness. What's cool about Tangerine Tortoise is how it's inside an old repair shop and it's hard to tell it's a restaurant unless you know. It's also in the middle of a neighborhood which I think cities should allow more residential restaurant mix because it adds to the community appeal. As a St. Catharines local I absolutely love it and my sister coming in from the GTA loved it just as much.

Konzelmann estate is so beautiful between the views of the vineyard and lake and lovely building…read morewith great views from the lookout. Unfortunately the experience wasn't quite what I was expecting or used to getting from wine tastings. It did start off well with the woman working the front desk. She was very attentive and helped us choose our experience. But once we got to the tasting room, it changed. The workers in the tasting room seemed like they didn't care to be there. Service was slow getting us set up as we were seated and left there for a bit before selecting our tasting. Our server was kind when bringing over the wines but maybe she was being spread thin as she was doing almost all of the tastings in the room / having to run around. We originally chose a window seat but moved soon after because there were so many flies that kept landing on us. Moving more inwards helped to an extent as there were quite a bit of black flies and fruit flies in the tasting room (fruit flies were landing in the wine). The wines were decent and had some unique offerings. Did end up buying a bottle of ice wine because it was a great, very sweet dessert wine. I think the experience would have been a lot better if more effort was taken by the estate on the amount of flies (adding traps or thick curtains blocking the tasting room to avoid flies getting in) and if service was more interested. Maybe having specific wine tasting times so the worker can be more involved? Another missed opportunity is the outside lookout over the vineyard is a small platform and a small tasting area in the middle of the parking lot. It would be so beautiful and enjoyable if there was a larger outdoor seating patio that you can sit and drink wine while looking over the vineyard / lake.

I understand that real estate is at a premium, but this the smallest LCBO I've seen in Ontario! The other reason not to come here is that they have such limited hours! I can't believe they wouldn't be more profitable if they stayed open later than 6PM or 8PM. Pass this one up and head to Niagara Falls where they stay open much later, 10PM or 11PM.

The LCBO is the local wine, beer and liquor store in Canada. On a recent trip to…read moreNiagara-on-the-Lake, this is where our group stocked up on all our wine/beer needs. It's a bright and clean store with great organization and help is available if needed. They take US dollars (giving you CA change) too, which was incredibly convenient for me since it was a pre money conversation stop. Wine and liquor is kept in the front of the store, with a convenient chilled wine selection as well. I wandered back to the "beer cooler" to find an impressive selection and was able to pick up a variety of local cans. Most craft beers are sold individually in large 473 mL aluminum cans. You'll pay for the beer as well as a $.10CA deposit (FYI: this location does not refund the deposit fees!) I felt pretty lucky to strike up a conversation with an employee who was able to recommend some great options and was very welcoming. Whether you're looking to party in up with friends, bring a couple drinks back to your house (or hotel room) or have a picnic in the park, the LCBO is your best bet for stocking up. Do note, the hours are limited compared to US liquor store hours, staying open the latest on Thursday and Fridays, and that's only until 8pm. I highly recommend grabbing some wine here and some cheese at Cheese Secrets around the corner and heading over to Simcoe Park for a picnic.
