This is by far the worst LCBO I have ever visited. Not only is the staff unhelpful and rude, they are also clueless about wine. Beyond the staff (they should visit a real LCBO in Leaside for a lesson in service, graciousness, and knowledge), the selection is extremely limited and very poorly curated. I'd rather walk to Summerhill than go back to the Davisville LCBO. read more

A typical LCBO location. Surprisingly, despite its physical space/size threshold, it doesn't have that great of a selection despite having the facility to actualize that. As for the workers, they're busy doing their own thing so it would be wise to do your own research as it might take away from their time sorting things out. read more

Was visiting Toronto and wanted to pick up something for our hotel room. Yelp reviews showed me this place near the Eaton so I went there. Being a foreigner, I didn't have a good sense if this place is overpriced or reasonable. it seemed pretty standard. Also seems to have a good selection. For my American Friends, it is comparable to a Binny's if you have one of those. I'm giving it a good review because the staff was friendly. Note: you can use credit cards now, not just Apple Pay. You also have to pay for your bag, I don't know if this is new or not. read more

This LCBO is located in Downtown Toronto by Yonge/Dundas square. Accessible by subway, streetcar trains and walking from hotels. Excellent selection of various beers, wine and spirits. Clean and spacious with helpful staff. Highly recommend for those within Downtown Toronto. Would not recommend if too far out. For my US family and those from other countries debit cards have to be used as credit at the LCBO. read more

im pretty sure i wrote about this LCBO before, but i will write it again. great stocked location for being downtown, feels a bit weird accessing the location from the street level, as you have to take a staircase down into the store. this store is also accessible via the path, so during the winter months you don't even have to go outside to gain access which is awesome. great stock levels, line up's can be a bit much during the same times as "rush hour traffic" the staff are pretty happy considering the sheer volume they go through in a day, never had an issue. transit options are dundas ttc subway station and the 505 dundas streetcar, the station being the more direct option, as depending on the direction of the streetcar, you might a bit of a walk. parking is in the area, but it would be above or below private lots with a bit of a walk. would come back to this location for sure. read more

LCBO - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

This LCBO is located next to Forever XXI on Dundas. I would say that the Bay St address is a bit misleading in terms of the actual location. I was actually trying to find The Beer Store (express) that's located near the corner of Yonge and Dundas, but couldn't see it when I was standing in that intersection. This Yonge and Dundas intersection reminds me of Time Square since it's well lit and loaded with large lighted advertisements. The LCBO sign was easy to see, so I went here instead of the elusive Beer Store. After entering the LCBO doors, you have to take the escalator down a level to get to the actual goods. I came looking for wine and found a nice selection here. They are categorized by regions, so it's easy to browse. I ended up with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon called Janeil for $12. It's a decent bottle of wine, a little lighter than my preference, but still good. It was a screw top, which is a bonus for me since I'm a visitor and am not equipped with a wine opener. There were about 3 cashiers working and I had to wait a few minutes in line, but got through checkout pretty quickly. After exiting the store, you'll have to go right and find an escalator to go back up to the street level. read more

This is my local LCBO so I am in there fairly often. I know how to find what I am looking for so I don't have to spend much time. But there is one employee, an older blonde woman with a LOUD voice, who was so incredibly rude I was actually left speechless for a minute. She is always there, one of their senior staff. Why on earth would they keep someone like that dealing with customers? I also find the layout a bit crowded, but then again it is a small and very busy location, basically next door to Ryerson. But what the heck -- it gets the job done! Just avoid the blonde cashier if you don't want to be yelled at/glared at for dropping your wallet or something! read more

Good location, spacious, clean and most importantly very helpful staff. We were looking for local wines and with such a huge variety it was not easy to decide. read more

Best customer service I've experienced at a LCBO . This is the sixth location I've visited . This location is super convenient as it is right across the street from the coach bus station . While there selection wasn't the best I was highly satisfied with my visit . So many employees were attentive to my every need . Canadians are nice in general but again compared to other locations the service at this lcbo was exceptional .I ended up buying more just because of the service I received . Picked up a seasonal 4 pack from my favorite brewery a can of peach cider and a highly rated ipa . Came out to be $20 cad . prices were fair .Best things to get from lcbo really are Belgians Chimay or duchess du burgnone . Bottles we be around $3cad which is super cheap compared to US prices ( $5-6 per bottle) . read more

Came to get a a bottle of French wine for my friend's Chinese New Year Party. It was a small LCBO and I was looking at the vintage section since I didn't want to buy cheap wine as a guest. Spent a good amount of time searching and I've finally decided on Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2014. Didn't had the chance to try it but it says it's suppose to have a smooth and fruity taste. read more

One of the busiest LCBOs in the city. Not a huge selection and a weird entrance to go underground. You can't get back up to Dundas Street but need to exit via the underground Atrium building exit.There are Long lines on Fridays and weekends and cops on duty Friday nights as well. Its great for people watching though. ! read more

Location is convenient and has pretty decent hours. The store isn't for anyone claustrophobic because of the tiny square footage and number of patrons . Do not go to the store right after working hours as all the office workers rush to buy alcohol (especially on Fridays). At times the lineups snake around the store. Try to go early afternoon to avoid long lineups. Finally this location also has a lot of homeless downtown people buying more alcohol so that can be kind of awkward and smelly. read more

ZERO customer service skills from Jo - so rude and unhelpful. Wont be returning to this location again.

Bright well lit store. knowledgeable staff. Big selection of Euro/Canadian wines. Found a nice Rhone and a D'avola Italian. A very small selection of American wines. Tip: In Toronto, wine is sold in a specialty store, never in a regular grocery store. read more

Came here to get a bottle of wine for our hotel room on the last Friday night of our Toronto vacation. The place was mobbed. People everywhere. Crazy long lines. Does this place have a monopoly on booze? Got my bottle. Waited in line, which moved fairly well considering the amount of customers. The kid/student in front of me got carded by the cashier and was not of age. BUSTED !!!!!! read more

Checked in the one at dundas and yonge cashier was horrible . Should be replaced in my opinion .

Visited this location just before the Thanksgiving long weekend. The location is not the best and the biggest and is nothing compared to the Summerhill one. The options are limited but the place is decently stocked. The location being in the basement with confusing entry/exit causes an issue during busy times. A bit more staff would help especially during the holidays. This place is good for your regular pick-n-leave. But if you are looking for a good wine options, you may not be very happy. read more

Love this location, Im usually caught shopping in the Queen/Dundas/College area. This LCBO is right there located conveniently across the mall, next door to the Forever 21 on your left . Its open pretty late for downtown location. Away from this one...I think the next closet one would be the LCBO by Wellesley and Yonge. The cashiers are quite quick but expect to wait in line for a few 5-10mins because its just sooo busy. read more

I went there several times while I was in Toronto... A lady who displayed bottles was very helpful, but not people at the cashier !! Why don't they smile or just be more friendly to their customers ??? read more

Went to get an S.O.P. Sue was the rudest woman I have ever spoken to on the phone. I returned her call and she basically yelled at me for having a full voice mailbox. She proceeded to lecture me how I filled out the "LEGAL DOCUMENT" with a marker. I assured her I was using a ballpoint ink pen... and she yelled at me that it was a marker, and who would ever fill out a legal document with a marker. She then said "I have no idea what this is! A public permit? Private permit? your all over the place!!!" I told her I was applying as a student for a student run gallery exhibition and I had help from a man at the store to fill it out for me. I was confused by part of the sections.... That shouldn't be a reason to yell at a customer.... When she found out that a representative from the store helped me with it (I think his name was Dan) she said "WELL. that is a different story. He will have a talking to". The point is, Dan (?) did his job as best as he could. I could tell that he was nervous about his boss (Im assuming Sue). We were in the liquor store for 40 minutes. I filled out the application, and then waited for Dan to return from his office after being on the phone for a good 15 minutes to figure out if I needed a private or public permit. We then went through the whole application together, and made the correct changes (I crossed out the parts that were done wrong, and signed my initials. We also redid a whole section on a new part. The fact is, Sue was extremely rude, and should never talk to anyone the way she did. I was extremely offended. I was going to the LCBO for a service, and expected to be treated with respect. She yelled at me over the phone, and made me feel like I was an idiot. I will be sure to contact her supervisor and regret asking for her supervisor at that moment. read more

I'm pretty big on customer service and this LCBO is not up to par with other locations I've been to including the large one in Davisville village. Acceptable selection of wine, with a focus on Canadian wines, considering that it isn't a large space. Not the best but this place serves its purpose read more

Just been there a few hours ago. There's a cashier lady a fat blonde lady, she was very rude and don't know about manners at all! I will never go back to that Lcbo, and neither my friends.My friend is 34,and he seems to have 40 or more, and we both tried to buy some beers, and the lady yell to us saying if we have no Id we couldn't buy there, I had my id but she don't want to sell us the beers. Ok maybe it's a policy or a law or whatever, but you don't have to yell or even treat us like robbers. read more

Getting in and out is abit complicated, and the selection's not great.. especially considering the size and how busy it gets, but it's convenient.. in the atrium, near dundas square & eaton centre, and the bus terminal, and offers a shortcut to the subway from street level.. plus, there's a new guy that know his stuff and offers great service. read more

Why are the floor staff allowed to be so rude? (Not the cashiers.) I have had to move so quickly to get out of their way with their fast moving wheels of stock, while carrying my GLASS bottles, and repeatedly been told that "We don't have any in stock" or "They don't make it anymore", only to find it minutes later on the shelves or at the next LCBO. read more
