This has been my go to LCBO for awesome booze selection since my time in Ottawa dating back to…read more2004. Now I only frequent when in town to stock up on some delicious wines from the vintage selection in the basement and watch in semi-amazement on how quick you can rack up a bill here! Only downside and I'll mention it now is that the homeless people tend to beg outside or on the odd occasion get caught stealing here. One my most recent visit they had a security guard positioned right at the entrance. Probably a good idea they have probably had a steady stream of issues. No disadvantaged people this visit. It's unfortunate that they have this issue but not everyone can handle booze well! The Vintages selection is seriously divine. I usually can spend around an hour here browsing and perusing the aisles to see what's new and what's recommended by the staff. They do have many vintage staples and an ever evolving selection. On my visit they did have some tastings and some mini pulled pork sandwiches. It was a nice snack while I was wandering around! I washed it down with a sample of Trius Red. Very nice contrasting flavours. What the LCBO and this location does amazingly better than my provincial SAQ is have a better selection of wines under $15. You can find hundreds of wines in the $13 or less amount. There is also a decent selection of wines under $10! You can find some decent tasting ones at this price also! SAQ needs to stop being so greedy! Also the LCBO has and does a fantastic job of promoting Ontario wineries! I'll keep coming back if the selection stays fantastic!

This LCBO is the largest LCBO that I've been to in Ottawa. They have a large selection of many…read moreitems and a great wine selection including a basement full of wine. This store carries almost everything the other stores in town do. If I can't find something at this store, the one in the south end usually has it. Between these 2 stores I can find most things that I want. The staff is actually amazing in this store. I recently went in to get some liquer from Columbia. I tried to explain the name to the person working the counter who was in the middle of helping someone else (he asked if he could help and I told him to finish helping his current customer but he said it would take awhile) when he told me how how down I wanted to walk and what the bottle looked like! I followed his directions to find exactly what I wanted!

I came here for the first time just a couple of days ago. My boyfriend and I wanted to pick up some…read morebeer and this Beer Store is conveniently located right in the middle of a downtown residential area off of Bank. We went at night, which probably wasn't the best idea. It was filled with people that were already drunk, or unshowered and still reeked of booze. Some were buying booze, while others were returning bottles and cans. They also sell ice for those of you that need it. The store is small and old school, so instead of picking up the beer yourself, you order your beer at the cash and they just wheel it through the conveyor-belt looking entrance. If you've ever seen one, you know what I'm talking about.

They have a little bit of everything, but everything I've ever looked for has been here. Plus, they often have new things I haven't seen! Get you holiday items early though.

Then they seem to have crammed what takes up multiple wine aisles at larger locations along two walls in this one. The cue is also a rather tight squeeze so you sometimes have to wait for a customer at a till closer to the door to finish up before you can leave as well which can get awkward at times.

Small little bar specializing in beer. I loved how their menu is split into "Beer" and "Non-Beer"…read morelol. They have lots of canned beers and some on tap. Their "Non-Beer" is mostly wine, and soda pop. They have some hard liquor, but it's limited (and just the regular vodka, rum, whiskey, etc. no liqueurs or anything fancy. I asked if they had sour mix and they said no, so I'm guessing they only mix with soda pop). Food menu is small. I came with some beer lovers. They had beers. I wanted a whiskey sour, but they couldn't make it, so I got a non-alcoholic drink (root beer). I'm not going to fault the place for this because their focus is obviously beer. The place is kind of small. They have some TVs with sports streaming. They had a really big screen that showed the menu. I thought that was weird. Why didn't they show sports on that screen? We already have the menu in front of us, lol. We got a basket of fries ($5). They were shoestring fries and really good, although a bit too overly salted. Their menu looked interesting, but we already ate before coming. Our server was nice and friendly. She seemed to feel bad that I couldn't find a drink that I liked. She even gave me a sample of some raspberry sour beer to try. I didn't like it, but not her fault, and at least she tried. I think this would be a cool place to hang out for beer lovers.

There's a huge selection and all the empty cans are displayed on the wall. Right after work there weren't that many people but it got steadily more full. I tried three of the food dishes, and the Nashville chicken was definitely the best as it was spiced enough. The mozzarella sticks were ok (need to be more crispy), and the cauliflower had a bit too much sauce. However, the food is generally tasty, but it's a hit or miss. Presentation was better than expected for a beer place! Service is quick and attentive. Pretty cozy spot to relax over some beers!

This was pretty close to us so we popped in since it looked like an Irish pub and it is usually hard to go wrong with one. The hostess was nice and got the three of us seated pretty quickly, it seems like they have a "family" section where they stick people with kids which was a bit annoying but I understand for the rest of the patrons. Our server came up and we ordered, it was clear he was not happy with us ordering a shareable, 2 drinks and an ice cream for the three of us. He basically dismissed us the rest of the time we were there, so for that particular waiter basically a zero star rating. Thankfully another waitress or maybe a manager checked in with us and fixed everything since the moron forgot to bring the ice cream out first as requested and we had to wait until after we were done. Drinks were as expected. The mini yorkies were delicious and I would highly recommend them. Service from the wait staff is laughable, that guy would have gotten a decent tip if he just actually did his job and didn't have to have a manager or fellow waitress save his bum. Pretty cool pub vibe, very interesting layout. They did have a fun kids coloring menu, probably one of the best I've seen. Definitely paying a premium due to the location, but having good service would be nice.
