Fine selection, not remotely great customer service. If this is the liquor store you choose to shop at, I'd suggest minimizing engagement with the employees. Look over the reviews....how many women have had negative experiences here? read more

That's a nice liquor store, the prices are not so expensive and you can find a lot of good wines, vodkas and so on.. And if you are thinking to make some drinks you cam across the street and you can grab some fruits at shoppers. The place offers you a good service, they have a lot of cold beers and the service is amazing. All the cashiers are so nice and really friendly. The other reason that I like this place is, because of there are a lot of good deals with good prices. Don't forget to get some points on your loyalty card. And feel free to bring your dog with you, this is a pet friendly place. read more

Discovered that I didn't have to special order some kinda local spirits and ciders. Really great to find such a great selection right in my neighborhood with unique and hard to find items like BC Tree Fruit Ciders ( but not the yummy Hibiscus one)?and a full line of Arbutus spirits out of Nanaimo and so many many more items. The online website is fully searchable so you can check things out in advance and order for in store pick up without any additional costs associated. The staff was really helpful when then didn't have something making suggestions of other products that might suit. All in all I will return and make suggestions and tell friends. read more

Refused service to a friend who has a mask exemption. Treated them very poorly. Human rights violation. Unequal and unkind treatment. Do better. read more

I go in here all the time. This last time I went in, I forgot a second piece of ID. Not a big deal, I fully expected to not be able to make my purchase. What I didn't expect was the lecture from the cashier about the importance of bringing two pieces of ID. Thanks bro, didn't put up a stink and I understand the rules, you don't need to treat me like a child as I'm likely older than you.. Incredibly rude. read more

I am 32 years old, have an points account and buy liquor at this store every weekend from the same employee. I recently had My ID renewed as my name changed when I got married and they refused to sell me or my husband (who is 46) anything out of the store as I did not have photo ID on me. read more

Three sixty five until twenty-three hundred every single one of those days? Well, hell -- that's just the way it should be. With a pretty decent craft, imported and domestic beer selection for those who drink that sort of thing, a fairly comprehensive wine selection for girls like me, and unlike a private store, coolers for those last-minute purchases, convenience, it would seem, is of the utmost importance here. Friendly, helpful, and fun, the staff are genuinely awesome at Hastings Liquor. They may not have the most in-depth knowledge about your favourite craft beer or local wine, but they'll shoot the shit, laugh at mundanity, and be actual human beings that function at levels beyond the name tag attached to their shirt. And who says that a neck tattoo means you'll never get a real job? Just look at the guys working here. Jobs. And neck tattoos. Yes, you'll be paying more than a government store, but for overall selection, cleanliness, friendliness, convinience, and neck tattoos with jobs, it's a solid find. read more

Great selection, and they're open 365 days a year until 11pm, or so the sign says. Unfortunately, it's a private liquor store and the prices will be higher than BC Liquor and you will notice the difference. Also, this store apparently used to be a BCL and they've maintained the layout and signage, which means if you didn't know better you might be fooled. I was in here last week and some girl was arguing with the cashier over the price of a bottle of wine, until he finally convinced her she was not in a BC Liquor store. As far as private liquor stores go, this one is great. I wish the province would change the ridiculous alcohol sales laws so that we wouldn't have to pay so much for drinks. It doesn't make anyone drink less, it just leaves us with less money for other things. In my humble opinion. read more

Open 365 days/year until 11PM? Heck yes. New Year's Eve rolls around, my friend arrives a grumpy little camper because all of the liquor stores were closed. Hastings Liquor to the rescue! Every time I've been there the staff have been friendly, and even laugh at my stupid jokes. Laughing at my stupid jokes is a pretty surefire way to get into my good books. I'd give it five stars, but there's something about giving a liquor store five-stars that makes me seem like an alcoholic. Also, private liquor stores tend to be a bit too pricey for my liking. read more

The BEST selection in the city! Always a draw to enter... And the friendliest most helpful staff! My go-to store! read more

I walked out and the bag broke, when I went back in to ask if they would replace the bottle of wine that broke the cashier said no and was pretty rude about it. read more

I think this is a great little liquor store because of the local selection of beer and wine. The staff are well informed and helpful too. I'm stoked that they carry my favourite gluten free beer, (which is not local, because there is no local gf beer) Ground Breaker Brewing. Stop by on Friday eve for samples and informative 'wine raves' and enter their monthly contests for great prizes. read more

High Point - This is really an awesome liquor store offering a great variety of local beer and bc wines. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My fave liquor store, although I wish they carried Joie, my favourite wine. Always parking on the side (if you wait a minute or two). The dudes working there are pretty helpful and I love the artsy vibe of the employees actually. Super clean and another great addition to the 'hood. Lines go quite quickly even on a Friday. I wish they offered tastings sometimes, though. :) The only thing I don't like about these non-government liquor stores is now it's tough to find a place to use your gc if you're lucky enough to have been given one by your boss (which is a pretty awesome gift, otherwise). ***Note*** - they have 500 wines for under $20! Impressive! read more

This cashier is constantly saying rude things each time I seen him in the store. I politely asked him if he could stop getting his hands all over the drink area because he handles cash all day. He just scoffed and said it's much dirtier being handled in the warehouse ‍ And that I should be cleaning them at home. Other than this one jerk, the rest of the staff have better customer service read more

They sell alcohol! Plus theyre nice and have good selection. read more

decent selection of beer. certain staff members aren't great at customer service. mask shaming and insulting patrons isn't good for business. set your policies correctly. if you require a mask say so, if you have a customer capacity cutoff make it known, otherwise don't use a gray area to be rude to customers. hope another liquor store opens up in the area, until then will walk travel for better service. read more

After leaving an art showing downtown, we decided to reconvene at a friend's house for some more food and drinks. We stopped in at Hastings Liquor Store on our way. While the selection is a little smaller and the prices are a little higher than a government run liquor store, the beer and white wines are in a chilled cooler ready for purchase and immediate consumption! I would have given this liquor store *4 stars* based on the service, appearance, and selection, but they are open until 11pm, 365 days a year making it *5 stars* in my book! This location will come in handy on those special occasions when more liquid love is needed! read more

Came here with my hipster love of my life to help him pick out some beer for a party and come for an educational lesson in the works. I did pick up some Guinness for a chocolate Guinness cake receipe for St Patrick's Day. Good customer service and decent selection. read more

This private liquor store is as 5 star as you can get. Phenomenal selection. Wines from 'value' priced to high end. Great beer selection and hard liquor. Every review that has stars lacking is all due to higher prices than government stores. Well duh. And one thing you'll find here is brilliant friendly customer service from every employee. It's clear it is the staff culture here. The longevity of the team speaks to what a pleasant place it must be to work (despite a varied clientele) and the camaraderie of the team. Guaranteed you won't get that at any unionized government liquor store. 'High Point' - aptly named. read more

check out their wine selection, great rating system, the special shelf has some great deals, way better than BCLC if i want beer though i prefer to go to brewerys down the road. read more

was in the area with my gf so i stopped by to get beer, my gf didn't have ID and so they wouldn't sell me beer even though I was the one buying and she was just with me..fair enough. So I said can I come back later by myself ? but this rude and condescending woman, whom I'm assuming is the manager told me No, she said I can never buy beer from their store again if either her or the clerk sees me again. what kind of policy is that? Ridiculous I will never come back again after 10 years of coming here. read more

Worst customer service by an employee (I believe) name Justin. Bare with me it's a long story. Walked in with my boyfriend, he's been a bartender for 4 years, to buy a bottle to make some cocktails at home before he had to go to work. Once we got home he noticed that the cap was free spinning. He's dealt with this specific brand before and he knows it shouldn't be free spinning the way it was, he knew if he cracked it open he wouldn't be able to reseal it. Instead we decided to leave it and just exchange the bottle. My boyfriend goes to work and I go back to high point with the bottle. I go to the cashier that attended us earlier and explain to him the situation. In comes Justin walking in half way into my explanation grabs the bottle aggressively out of my hands and cracks the bottle open HIMSELF, then tells me that's how the bottle is. I begin my explanation again now towards him and again tells me that's how the bottle is and I just have to deal with it. I tried to reseal it and it wouldn't seal but decided not to make a big deal out of it and leave. I barely made it out the door and the bottle falls over in the bag I brought it in and spills all over in the bag seeping on me. When I walk back in to show Justin he said to me word for word, "It would be best for the both of us if you just take the bottle and leave.". He then proceeds to tell me he couldn't exchange the bottle because the bottle is open. I then loose it and start yelling at him reminding him he was the one that opened the bottle, it was still sealed when I brought it in and he picked it up and cracked it himself. He calls the manager over and I start telling her what happened but before I got to the part about him opening the bottle he then freaks out and says he's going to keep the bottle I brought in and purchase a new one that I could keep. The manager then tried to calm him down and he frantically buys the bottle and placed it on the counter for me to take. Then says, "I can't do this right now." rushes off and hides in the back room. The manager says to me he shouldn't have done that and she'll talk to him and apologizes for the whole thing. Now I've never had a problem there before and thought maybe he was having a bad day. Walk in there again on another day, this time just to buy wine, and I see Justin not only giving a customer a hard time but his coworkers too. The fact that he still works there is beyond me, he has the worst attitude I've ever seen. read more
