Whenever I'm in Waterloo and am off to a dinner party or some other function that requires me to…read morebring beer, wine or spirits this is always my LCBO of choice. Being one of the largest LCBOs in Waterloo this location offers a wide variety of specialty products, particularly in the wine and beer category. More than anything I love trying different kinds of beer, and this location seems to offer many that I still have yet to try! So if you're ever looking for some kind of liquor product and you're not sure if the smaller locations will have it you can be pretty confident this one will. Another thing that is great about this location is the knowledgeable staff they have working there. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are very friend and are willing to help if you need it. Great location! Conveniently located with lots of parking in the back!

Stopped by for lunch on our way to Niagara Falls. We chose to sit at the bar instead of at a table…read morebecause even though there was a sign saying to wait to be seated, no one came and greeted us. Service was honestly pretty bad. The lady serving us was rude and I understand she may be the only one manning the tables, but it honestly was not too busy since only 4 tables taken and it was not peak hours, but the tone she kept using with us to "give her a second" was not pleasant. We ordered a BBQ chicken chop salad, the original hamont burger with fries, and two beers. Food took a while to come out. Salad was really fresh but I didn't know it came with beans, which I'm not a fan of. Burger was honestly a bit too salty and dry for me. I also tried asking for ranch for my fries but was told it's an additional $2CAD?! That's pretty expensive for someone from SoCal since sauce is usually free or at most 25 cents in LA. Parking was convenient because we were lucky and found metered parking right iufside

Great for kids or even just playing whack-a-mole with friends! The two pizzas we tried were the Margherita ($22) and the south bound ($24). Overall. found the Margherita pretty plain and probably wouldn't get it again. The south bound was pretty tasty and had its own unique flavor with the garlic aioli and bbq sauce but for sure wasn't your typical pizza flavor. Overall, found the crust decent but could've been a little bit crisper and we also had to cut the pizza a bit ourselves since it wasn't fully cut. It was decent but I've definitely had better.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a government controlled quasi monopoly for liquor…read moresales in the Ontario province of Canada. I say quasi monopoly since beer and wine are sold at "The Beer Store" and a few exceptions to distilleries, breweries and wineries. At the LCBO you can find your typical hard liquors from all over the world and premixed alcoholic beverages that I don't even see at specialty alcohol stores back in the states. I was so intrigued by the wide selection at the LCBO. I was definitely not trying to dehydrate myself on my trip, but I was just curious by the variety of flavors available. I decided to get: - Snapple Spiked Peach Tea Vodka ($2.80 CAD) - Rockstar Watermelon Freeze ($3.40 CAD) - Crazy Uncle Hard Root Beer for Grown Ups ($2.85 CAD) - Crazy Uncle Hard Cream Soda for Grown Ups ($2.85 CAD) - Black Fly Sour Raspberry ($2.85 CAD) These cans have a 10cents recycling fee per can and a 13% already included tax. I like that the tax is already included in the prices so there are no surprises at check out. I can definitely see how a 13% tax affects more pricey liquors. No wonder why I was asked if I brought over any alcohol when I was checking in through customs. Nevertheless I respect it. Canada has REAL healthcare for everyone so at least the tax is going to the right places. I really enjoyed my pre spiked cans of alcohol. I especially liked the Snapple Spiked Tea Vodka and it is definitely something I would drink all of the time if they had it in the states. The sodas were a bit too sweet for me since I do not usually drink soda. I will keep that in mind the next time I find myself at an LCBO. I was especially pleased at check out when the sweet young man behind the counter asked to see my ID. The legal age to drink in Canada is 19!! I feel extra extra flattered that he asked me for my ID and I slightly giggled as I reached for my passport. I was complimented on how young I looked. Canadians are the sweetest!! ~ And I believe this to be universal... If you drink, don't drive - Si vous buvez, ne prenez pas le volant ;)

In the USA, different states had different liquor laws. In California, I could buy wine, beer and…read morehard liquor at grocery stores and drug stores. In Minnesota and Oregon, I could buy wine and beer at grocery stores, but liquors were purchased at licensed liquor stores. I'm still getting used to Ontario, where one can buy wine at 'wine shops', either stand-alone or in certain grocery stores (separate from the rest of the store), beer at 'The Beer Store', or everything at the LCBO. Heck, I'm nothing if not adaptable. On the wine side of things: I like the way the LCBO has organized the wines by region. So far, the local wines fall into two categories for me: affordable but not really drinkable, and drinkable but not really affordable. Which leaves me with imports, which aren't that affordable after paying for importation and -- oh yeah -- the egregious taxes here. Liquor selection: OMG, where the heck is the TEQUILA?! The best stuff they have is Patron Silver! I got so spoiled at Trebol, with somewhere between 80-100 high-end tequilas, and developed such a palate for it... good thing I don't really have the time to drink, these days. *Sigh.* Maybe some kind soul in the U.S. will take pity on us and send us something decent for Christmas...? At least they have Bulleit bourbon, because I haven't liked the Canadian whiskeys I've tried. I miss the Oregon locals: 12 Bridges gin, Crater Lake vodka, all of the beautiful SakeOne sakes... to say nothing of the delicious and affordable local wines and craft beers. Beer, which I didn't learn to love until I moved to Oregon, microbrew capital of the continent, has become a highly limited experience here. Mostly, there are lagers in cans. Yuk. So far, the Stone Hammer dark ale, the Wellington special pale ale, and the Harvest 'taste of Ontario' all meet my standards, but you can't get those just anywhere. (You can get them at Borealis... which is just another reason we end up there so often.) Even the LCBO selection is limited: of the beers I just listed, only the Wellington SPA is available. And then, on the back wall, on the top shelf... Aha! Is that an old friend I spy? It is! Come to mama, Rogue hazelnut ale! Wait, what's this I see? A price tag of... TWELVE DOLLARS?! Really? *Sigh.* I just cannot justify it, and sadly put it back. Being a loquacious beast, I talk about the terrible sorrow of the twelve-dollar beer at the checkout stand. "Twelve dollars?" Asks the woman helping us (Cynthia). "That cannot be right." And she calls the manager over about it, even though I didn't ask; he shrugs and wanders off. She gets annoyed with him, and grabs someone else to do a proper price check -- it's only SIX dollars! Huzzah! I get to go home with my prize -- thank you, Cynthia. That kind of service really deserves to be rewarded; one of the stars above is for you specifically. I'd love to see you promoted to manager!

I've done it! I've found the worst LCBO in Toronto!…read more The previous reviews give this place 3 stars just because it exists basically. I'm sorry, but basing a passing grade around their location when the organization is a monopoly and you literally can't go anywhere else? This unacceptable. This place is tiny, which makes it hard to navigate around people just to get in and shop or figure out where the lines start. And this place has hands down the worst beer selection I've ever seen at an LCBO. And despite being so tiny there were still an abundance of empty shelves? What the hell was going on in this place? I literally walked out and decided to go to the one up by Bathurst because the selection was that terrible.

We started with a welcome cocktail and got a tour of the their garden where they are growing a bunch of their own produce. We had 7 courses and I opted to have the drinks pairing with it and everything was spectacular! My favourites were definitely the mussels and lobster in a green curry sauce, and the bison steak. All these bites were one of a kind and you won't find them on their menu. Chef Dan's creativity was impeccable! All their staff that came through were delightful as well and it felt like we were part of the action. Laurie, Chef Dan's wife served us and she was incredible as well - they are both just the kindest people. I hope to come back here soon and try more of Chef Dan's creations! This is truly a 11/10 spot!

This location has a chilled beer section and a vintages section. The vintages section is either too…read moresmall or poorly curated. For example, they have plenty of Italian reds but very few Italian whites and precious few varietals. The staff are helpful. You can place a special order or have stock shipped from a different store. They will carry your order out to the car. Don't offer a tip - they aren't permitted to accept them (I tried). I appreciate that the individual stores don't have much control over their own selection but it would be nice to have more varietal options from specific regions, as opposed to the ubiquitous choices. Decent selection of Niagara wines. Free parking. Note to the idiots who roll up on the sidewalk: this is not your personal parking space! You are the same as everyone else no matter what type of car you drive. Park 3m away in the allotted PARKING SPACES. The hours at this location are too short.
