this is a LCBO location (south hamilton square) that i don't regularly go to as it's out of my area. i will come here if my regular stores are out of/running low on certain product.
SHS is not a big store by any stretch of the imagination. but it has enough of the essentials to get you thru your adult beverage needs for your occasion at hand.
parking in the plaza is plentiful, however be advised it does get congested quite easily during the day, as far as navigating within, into, and out of the plaza.
staff here have been generally polite on all my visits.
i would like to add a texas-sized shout-out to retail floor workers lisa and andrew for their genuine kindness in assisting me with product inventory inquiries and with general customer service in the store. am wishing both individuals all the best at the store and in their personal lives. ⭐️
understandably. each LCBO is tailored to what it's area's wants and needs are for products.
half-star knocked off for not having extended hours.
half-star knocked off for limited vodka cooler selection and for lack of chilled cooler beverages section. unless you're buying beer here, you're going to have budget time at home to get room temperature products chilled in your fridge/freezer.
SHS does have an extensive chilled beer section at the very back of the store.
bottom line: if you have to come here, it's a serviceable location. it's right next door to fortinos so you can do grocery shopping and make adult beverage purchases all in one area. just make sure you're coming here knowing there's no extended hours fri-sat-sun. ?”
“Dropped to return some empties. This will be increasingly difficult come soon as maybe local beer stores have closed. Many grocery and corner stores may refuse to take empties back come the new year so the plan to make beer and wine available almost everywhere may flop!!”
“So convenient to go here. Offers lots of samples. Only thing I would say is for you to check the manufacturing dates on products to make sure they're not too old. I purchased a box of Growers BlackBerry coolers and they were flat and tasted bad. I brought them back and they exchanged them no problem.”
“First visit but it won’t be my last. I was impressed with the service of both beverages and food. Happy hour offered some fine domestic beers at $2.00 off. Wings were on special and they we’re very good, as was the Rueben Sandwich and the Burgers. The pecan tart was delicious and the coffee was good too. The place is welcoming. It’s clean and comfortable.”
“A great store but not very friendly for the neighborhood, especially people living around. As a customer parking in the parking lot, and seeing other customer peeing outside the store is disgusting. Could’ve provided the bathroom for people in need, and also put up signages to stop people from public urinate.”
“Exceptionally clean location, the thin older man with 42 years experience is one the kindest employees I have ever had rhe pleasure of encountering. He actually cares and will definitely be returning!”

“Kindest employees in the world. Selection limited compared to other locations due to the store's smaller footprint, but they still leave little to be desired.”
“Courteous, helpful staff - they make great suggestions too! Rotating sales of varied offerings - Black Cellar Shiraz Cabernet and XOXO Pinot Grigio Chardonnay are my personal faves, Canadian blends and an excellent value! Have been recently obsessed with Peller Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - so yummy!! ??”
“Bev helped me with fantastic gift ideas. Clean, well shocked cashier was efficient and friendly. Will visit again when at Jackson Square getting my hair done at Joseph's. Thanks girls”

“The Ancaster Beer Store has since closed and this location has become my default for returning empties. The Team here is always friendly and welcoming. Hard to find these days. Well done.”
“So friendly
Just go for the education
Enjoy the wealth of Ontario provides
Tax free should be forever for local produce
Hope someone listens”
