“Too small a location trying to do too much. Everything seems hard to find. Staff are helpful and friendly, but I can never seem to find the products I'm looking for.”
“Selection is great, but the price can be very high compared to where products come from. Beer and liquor you will not be able to get anywhere else though in Nova Scotia”
“I wanted to buy a local red wine. I was advised by a very kind lady, I think her name was Jennifer. I choose the Baco Noir 2022 from Blomidon Estate Winery. I just would like to let her know that I really enjoy this wine. Fresh but not too light. Fruty but not too much acidity. I appreciate a lot her advice. Thans a lot!”
“They have exactly as they say, beer, wine and spirits. They have a decent beer selection, especially if you're an IPA fan. Unfortunately their dark beer selection, such as stouts and porters, are very lacking to almost non-existent. The staff are friendly and helpful.”
“Great customer service, very friendly and attentive staff, was greeted by nearly every staff member and was my first time in the place. Very efficient to as was busy but lines went quickly at the check out lines.”
“It's a liquor store. Is there any other rating than 5 star??? But seriously though, I usually go to the Wyse rd store and the staff there are top notch! Friendly, eager to help you find anything you want and there's never a lineup at the cash. Highly recommend this location.?”
“Love this location, unfortunately one person at a time at the Cannabis section which is a tiny corner,leads to line ups. They have a flip book,but it will take you forever. So look online, make sure you have the right location, and search your products ahead of time and check for stock. That will save you time or a wasted trip. Always very nice people working. Very professional. No judgement felt. Not should there be any. The liquor store part has a much better selection than what has become of the Young Street location. As the are putting in a rather huge Cannabis ship finally. But for liquor selection at this point it looks pretty thin. So use Novalea! Lots of parking, all great staff. Have had no issues. I don't go in on a regular basis this is what I can say over 6 months. So it's consistent. Check the hour's to save yourself as well!”
“Its become my NSLC of choice. Not just because I live 5 minutes from there , its the staff. They are helpful, they ask you of you need help finding anything, if you do they help , if not they just let you on with your day which I appreciate honestly. If you take the time to talk to any of them they are all friendly, they will ask ya how your day was , little things I appreciate ?. Also they sell weed which is great ?.”
“Definitely one of the better locations, they’ve had some issues with panhandlers out front but it’s not as bad as it was a few years ago. Probably one of the more substantial clearance sections which is nice for slightly marked down product.”
“We are from the UK and have no idea what we are doing! We were very intimidated and nervous! We absolutely shouldn’t have been! It was very fun! The girl who served us was so reassuring, informed and friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our purchase and we will return again during our vacation!”
“Different selections, and a little pricier than provincial spots but they are open later which is nice. High staff turnover though, the cool, friendly staff never last and are replaced with a little too much snobbery.”
“There were different varieties available that is not available in Toronto. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was good! They were when all others store were closed on a long weekend l. They were a life saver!”
“NSLC Wine, Beers, Spirits and Cannabis is hands down one of the best one-stop shops in Nova Scotia for anyone who truly appreciates quality and variety. Whether you’re a wine lover searching for a bold red to pair with steak, a crisp white for seafood, or something sparkling for a celebration, the selection feels thoughtfully curated and surprisingly diverse. There’s always something new to discover alongside trusted classics.
Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the strong lineup of local craft breweries mixed with well-known international brands. From juicy IPAs to smooth lagers and seasonal releases, the shelves reflect both creativity and consistency. The spirits section is equally impressive, offering everything from premium single malt whiskies and small-batch gins to versatile vodkas and cocktail-ready liqueurs.
For cannabis consumers, the experience is just as polished. The product range covers dried flower, pre-rolls, edibles, oils, and beverages, with knowledgeable staff ready to answer questions and guide both beginners and experienced users. The layout is clean, organized, and easy to navigate.
Overall, NSLC delivers quality, professionalism, and variety under one roof, making it a reliable and enjoyable destination for wine lovers, beer fans, spirit collectors, and cannabis connoisseurs alike.”
“The staff here are so friendly and really helpful! The staff at the cannabis counter are knowledgeable about their products, I had a young man help me today and he made some great recommendations”
“This is my local store. I love it; it's exceptionally clean, well organized, well stocked, the staff are SUPER friendly and helpful. If this store represents the NSLC as a whole, then they're killing it ❤️”
“The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the different liquor options. I felt very happy about my selection with my newly obtained knowledge thanks to the staff.”
“Every NSLC location has a wide selection of beer, wine, spirits and specialty liquids. The staff is very knowledgeable about the selection and very helpful with questions/suggestions.”
“Had a good selection but the nearby Tacona store had a much greater selection. For instance, we wanted a six pack of Stella Artois, but they didn't stock that size.”
“Doesn't have the most selection being a smaller store but the service here is great. Employees are friendly and helpful. Despite being in a high traffic area, they don't automatically treat you like you're going to steal someone like Barrington St NSLC.”
“Ben one of their cashiers always has interesting conversations with me and my partner when we are going through his cash which is always appreciated but more so generally speaking all the cashiers are always helpful and like talking as they are ringing us through. I give this location a 10/10 thanks to all the people who work at that location for making the experience there so wonderful.”
“I’ve always found the staff very helpful. If I cannot find a product (which happens in a smaller liquor store) they’ll tell me the closest store that has it, or offer to order it in if I don’t need it right away!”
“A smaller NSLC, but they just did some major renovations and it looks great! Staff is super friendly. The girl that works in the Cannabis section is super nice and cute. Haha”
“Very neat little private liquor store.
Good selection of wines and different spirits. Focus on local NS products, but also carries a lot of imported stuff.
Very friendly staff, and they keep a few bottles of different things open to sample!
Unique spot.”
“Always have a pleasant experience at this location.great variety of products and staff member Penney Sept 2026 is a friendly amazing lady and a true ambassador to nslc.”
“Staff are always friendly. They always have my beer, and give me recommendations on new local products.
Ask for recommendations for the best experience.”
“A good big store with a wide variety of light and strong alcohol. Wines, liqueurs, tequila, whiskey, basically anything your heart desires. I would say it is one of the top three places in the area for this topic. Large parking zone of course.”
