The Vintage area here is quite huge compares to some of the ones I been to. The fact I enjoy browsing the Vintage area at this location because I love all these little notes that the staff wrote on the quite a few of the selections they recommends :).

I was heading to the Lcbo this afternoon to pick up a wine bottle for guests coming this evening…read more WOW to my surprise there was the Crown Royal Northern Harvest that won whisky of the year for 2015 by Jim beam. Fellow Yelpers this whisky was sold out in all of Ontario Lcbo for the months of Jan and Feb. I grabbed 2 bottles and I am smiling ear to ear. The cashier said it came in yesterday, and expect it to be sold out by evening. They have 69 bottles at this location.

Terribly slow service. I've ordered twice and both times too well lover an hour. The second of…read morethe the two times was 1h 40m before I called and cancelled.

I think there's a real problem with this group. I do like the convenience of being able to order…read morealcohol and have it delivered to my door, but I really don't like the drivers inability to properly calculate items. I do the math myself now, because we've had some inconsistencies with prices multiple times. I had placed an order at 8:30 p.m. and they called and confirmed the items and said it was on its way, but nothing ever showed up... I had to call the next day and place the order again... So they seem fairly disorganized. I do prefer to order online so I have a paper record of what's ordered, because they do deliver wrong items and even when you place an order online they transcribe it incorrectly, so it's very disorganized and poorly coordinated. I don't particularly expect great things from this type of service, but just being able to transcribe correctly from an online order and to do basic math isn't really asking that much... I do see potential with this business and I do find it incredibly convenient... but I feel there should be a better way to decrease order inconsistencies and mathematical discrepancies. I'm not sure what their base delivery rate is because my orders have always been over $100, but if you do place an order over $100 it's 10% of the orders total and 2 - $3 to use their machine if paying by credit card. We do tend to tip the drivers between $5 and $10 depending on how big an order it is. It's convenient and it saves you from having to deal with all the added stress of going to the LCBO when you're preparing for a party the next day.

Thanks for the Historic Brewery Tour ($4.50) at Black Creek Pioneer Village, I got a sample of how…read morebeer tasted like back in 1860 in Ontario, the good one times when beer was used as a medication (where is my presciptions!!) and even as pay for the workers! No electricity, No refrigeration, No machinery... Everything are done by hand with no chemical or preservatives! This is different than the commercial version that they sell in LCBO. We ended up tasting 3 samples - Rifleman's Ration - brewed especially for the season is unfiltered brown ale, caramel and earthy taste Stout - really flat, taste just like medicine.. but apparently rich in iron IPA - really interesting taste as it is brewed with a citrus hop, quite difference than the usual IPA Tour itself is really interesting! Not only about the historic brewing method but a great lesson of Ontario's beer history. The costumed guide was quite entertaining and I love how all the participants were involved. We were all assigned as one of the historical characters: Brewers, Politicians, Tavern Owners, Temperance Advocates* At the end of the tour, you also able to purchase a 2 L growler with beers that are brewed on site ($12+$4 deposit). The only downside is in order to visit the brewery, $15 admission to the Pioneer Village has to be paid on top of the tour itself! If not I won't mind coming to the Brewery Pub to have a drink of their special brews!! And if you drive, $7 extra for parking! Cheers to "The Queen & Country!" * I am Jesse Ketchum, My friend is Timothy Eaton which ironically were against the consumptions of beers!!!

Awareness of Ontario Craft Brews available. I really thought I was edumacated. I was wrong. I was schooled BIGTIME. By a young miss in mid-1800s period costume. Black Creek Historic Brewery.

Nobody can be designated more as craft unless they handbrew in their basement. ...with a Copper Pot, Kettle, and a contraption holding Wooden Beer Barrels. Whoever has that Mancave setup with 70" LED Smart Flatpanel TV, gimme a shout. 150+ years from now, someone will laugh at you about that historic LED Smart TV. As I smirked at the quality of Historic-style Brown Ale, Stout and IPA provided to us. Here's the catch. Historic Brewery Tour serves up Beer the Historic way, as it was. No frosted Beer Can showing you it has reached Rocky Mountain Coldness. Why? Think back when you were 150 years younger. Electricity, Fridge, Machinery. Nada. It so happens even Carbonation didn't exist. Flat lukewarm Beers anyone? So you've tried Black Creek from your local LCBO? Doesn't taste as bad as I've said? Those Bottles my dear Friend are made at a separate Commercial Brewing Facility. I have a couple in the Fridge myself waiting for something historic to happen, cheers. Please pay for the Historic Brewery Tour($4.50+purchase of Village Admission[$15]) The one-hour history lesson with the lively young miss alone is worth every Penny. If the 1858 Canadian Penny is equivalent to $19.50 today. Btw, it's worth much more. This Brewery is truly Historic. Lesson Learned.

About twenty years ago there was a movie out starring Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis, Strange Brew…read more A lot of the humor of the movie, poking fun at Canada, was over my head because I had never been to Canada. The Beer Store reminded me of that movie, you go up to the counter, order your beer and pay for it, and the beer comes out of the back room on a roller conveyor. I resisted the urge to do a "flash back" laugh. The Molson Canadian Lager tasted nice and smooth too! Gimme anudder beer you hoser! RooCooCooCooCoo RooCooCooCooCooooo....Back Bacon Anyone!?

We gave my son a $50 Beer Store gift card and when he tried to use it, they told him the card…read moredidn't have any money on it. We found out the card was redeemed in Toronto, yet my son was in Ottawa! I called and explained what happened and the person I spoke to said that someone would get back to me. I wasn't hopeful. But then, I got an email from Frank Perry at The Beer Store in Mississauga saying they would be reimbursing us for the gift card - and giving us an extra $10 for the trouble of having to call in!! Apparently, they have had some trouble with people hacking into their gift card system, so I guess we weren't the only one they heard from. I was so happy with the good customer service. Gift cards are like cash and they might have just told us we were out of luck, but to my surprise, they believed us and we got our money back! Thanks so much, Frank!

Went to Vaughan for italian sandwiches, but that place closed at 3pm so we ended up missing it and…read moreheaded here instead. Ordered the Anna Rosaria for $13 roughly and it was a tad underwhelming in flavour however the sourdough bread and ingredients were fresh. I ended up buying the Giovanna for the road since I live quite far away and I wouldn't make this drive very often. That one was way better with the spicier sauce and hot supressata. The flavour was explosive and compared to Anna rosaria had a kick. Overall I'd give it 8/10 stars just for the quality of food.

I love the effort put into the branding of the place. There are enough Italian iconography inside,…read moreand their restaurant logo of the hand with fingers touching together can be seen around the place and even in the drinking glass. The chiller inside near the counter also has a lot of unique beers and ciders you wouldn't typically find available elsewhere. I got a red sour beer, which was surprisingly expensive. It set me back $11.99. The ciders my companions got were more affordable at around the $4 or $5 range. Paying for it, however, took too long. The machine taking payments seemed to be acting up, and waiting took an unacceptable amount of time. There are not a lot of different food options available. One should come to expect that as the place looks like it was intended to be a sandwich shop. I do wish that they at least have more sides available. The Ribeye Steak deluxe sandwich $18.99 I got was good. The bread was a little too crunchy and burnt than what I was used to, but I would just like to think that it is how an authentic Italian sandwich should be prepared.
