“Randomly got into this liquor store since it was just right behind the hotel that we were staying at for the bight. I had zero expectations as this look like some small liquor store on a quiet street in a small town. I was wrong! I got blown away by the craft beer selections that this store carried! They got selections from Vancouver Island all the way to Calgary!! Very reasonable price too”
“This liquor store has quickly become my go-to spot, especially for wine. Their selection is impressive—everything from affordable everyday bottles to premium vintages. I was really pleased to find wines from local vineyards as well as international labels from France, Italy, New Zealand and beyond. The staff is knowledgeable and always happy to offer recommendations based on taste and budget, which is a huge plus. The store is clean, well-organized. Whether you’re a wine lover or just picking up a bottle for dinner, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Great prices and wide variety of products!
Not sure who I dealt with today, April 21st, (woman with short hair), but she's always so pleasant and happy! It's nice to go in and see her smiling face!
5 out of 5 stars! ??”
“Have been coming here over the years, the staff is always awesome. Jon is always great and will go above and beyond to get the product you want, just remember to ask. Cathy is also such a sweetheart, everyone here seems to get along, and it isn't unusual to hear them laughing along with other regulars. Place is a vibe.”

“Sunny is the best. We love sunny so much and he honestly made my silverstar trip a million times better. If you are feeling hungry then go to the market and buy some stuff. Sunny is so chill and nice he is the best person in the world. ❤️❤️❤️We are satisfied customers.”
“TIPPING AT THE LIQUOR STORE????? Your employees are great but if they have to rely on tips because their cheap employer won’t pay a decent wage than perhaps I’ll take my $$$ elsewhere. Cheers!”
“I always have great service when I go here. Very clean and well maintained. Simran is the best. Great guy willing to help with anything you may need. The point system is a plus as well!”
“Great store, same with staff and selection. However, one person really stands out for me, Doreen, who realizes I am handicapped and almost immobile while waiting for a hip replacement. When she spots me, she helps without me having to ask, by carrying out my purchases to my car, holding my arm as bracing, moving 6” at a time. A joy for me to go there.
Bless her, 1000x over.”
“just looking to grab a bottle of wine for the weekend, but what I got was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a long a young woman whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch—noticed I looked a bit unsure and offered to help. She didn’t just point me toward the shelves; she asked about the occasion, my taste preferences, and even my price range. It felt like I was shopping with a friend who actually knew wine.
She recommended a French red I’d never heard of, and wow—she nailed it. My partner and I both loved it. I’ll definitely be back for more, and hopefully she’ll be there again to steer me in the right direction!”
“I have no idea why the otter was angry, I found the place clean organized and well stocked with a splendid variety of alcohol and a singles fridge unparalleled by any other store not to mention a well stocked, walk-in humidor, filled with an aromatic array of cigars, topped off with a knowledgeable, friendly staff ready to give ready to handle all of your alcohol requirements and Otter tings.”
“Amazing prices if you're there before 5! 2 roast beef dinners with all the fixings....with drinks! $34.00, places like this are far and few between these days...especially those on tight budgets.”
“Good liquor store and well stocked. But I have an issue on what I was charged by them for tax. Bought 1516 15 pack of beer and it was on sale for $24.99, after tax it was $30.25. The previous time I bought the same product it was on sale at $26.99 and after tax it was over $36.00. I even made a comment that the tax was high and the cashier said it was correct and the tax was almost $10.00. So, one time it is only $5.00 tax and another time almost $10.00 tax. Strange that.
Just asked AI about tax on beer in BC and this is what it said.
In British Columbia, the total tax on a $24.99 CAD beer includes 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and 10% provincial sales tax (PST), resulting in a combined tax rate of 15%.
GST (5%): $24.99 × 0.05 = $1.25
PST (10%): $24.99 × 0.10 = $2.50
Total tax: $3.75
The final price including tax is $28.74 CAD.
This tax structure applies to most beer purchases in BC, as confirmed by the BC government’s Bulletin PST 119 and PST 121, which outline the 10% PST on liquor and beer sales. The tax is calculated on the full retail price, and the total tax burden on beer in BC is typically around 15%, though the effective tax rate can vary slightly depending on the specific product and distribution model.
So, unless the AI is wrong I was still overcharged on beer tax by $1.25 and the previous time grossly overcharged. OK, I forgot to factor in $0.10 per can for deposit so that is an extra $1.50. Them charging me over $36.00 total on 15 cans of beer is still an overcharge.”
“Great liquor storenwith lots of selection. Usually kept very stocked up and are quick to bring back items that have gone out of stock. Staff is all super friendly and helpful. If your looking for some higher class items go check out their more pricey high roller type items upstairs. They've got a points system for regular customers which add up pretty fast. And a drive-through for when you want a quick grab and go or just don't wanna get out ofnyour vehicle. Tons of parking, wheelchair accessible.”
“Ordered a bunch of liquors and items for Christmas! Their Haskap Liqueur is the best & a great gift!...I ordered online and received the items beautifully packaged, at my door in about a week, great service from Canada Post too!”
