Yaletown Liquor Store

This is my go to place for purchasing wine. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable with recommending different types of wine. They also have a great selection of beers that other liquor stores do not carry. I've been trying to get more into red wines and their manager Vince has really helped me in some great selections which is why I continue to come back for new recommendations every month.

During the liquor strike this was the only liquor store that still had stock while BC Liquor store was sold out with everything. I can tell that whoever owns or manages the place knows what is in demand and takes care of making sure we leave the place NOT empty-handed! :

Love their service as I'm ordering online from this store since two years ago! They are amazing! No comment about costs because I've never doubled check their prices as I know I'm receiving the best service. Try it and enjoy!

This place requires you to tip, cashier was VISIBLY upset when we didn’t tip. There’s already a premium for purchasing here, and now you want customers to tip? For what? Get a self checkout or pay your employees a living wage.

Great and convenient, prices are good, service is nice too! Recommended!

Doesn't currently take cash as payment, only digital debit, credit purchase accepted. Quite a small location, kind of weird layout, bit too overstocked to allow comfortable shopping for wheelchairs or scooters

I went to buy a wine, asked the guy for the price because it was without the tag. He said $16. I chose another wine for $13. Both would be a little more than 30 CAD with tax. I let my husband pay for it and he told me that the total it was almost 50 dollars. How come? We went back to store to check the price. And I asked again for the price of the first wine the one without tag that I specifically asked him the price. The guy not even look at us and just said :"Sorry, no return". I'm sure it was a scam... Don't go there.

Feels like I have just been robed. Bottle of wine didn't have a price tag, I asked and pointed to the bottle I wanted and I've been told a price. Go to pay, didn't pay attention and tapped my credit card and only then realizing the price was more than double what the guy told me it was. When I asked he just said "I checked the price of another bottle and I can't do a refund". Since I literally pointed, touching the bottle I wanted when I asked the price, I can only assume it was a scam in the hope I wouldn't notice. If you don't support this kind practice, I suggest you never come to this place. Ruined my night.

I went into buy a bottle of wine, and after much deliberation finally chose one that I was stoked to take home. The price on the SHELF was $26.00. When I went to purchase the wine, I was a NOT asked for ID, and b was NOT told a total. The guy just handed me the debit machine, and I tapped my contactless debit card, only looking down to confirm the price after it had been approved. IT WAS $39.47!!! I immediately demanded that they explain themselves, and the TWO employees both told me that "management had adjusted the pricing, but had not sent down new price labels yet." I then requested a refund on the SPOT, and they refused. SO I was charged over $14 more for a single bottle of wine. THIS IS FISHY AND SKETCHY AND COMPLETELY ABSURD. I call BS on this shop, and their sketchy AF employees. Pretty sure they were scamming me. The bottle of wine was the Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from Blasted Church, typically retailing from as low as $24.01 to a MAXIMUM $31.60. THIS SHOP FAILED.

Please go elsewhere. Just got back from the store. Went there to get some cold beers. Picked a couple ones for $27. I had a $5 bill and mostly $2 coins and a couple $1.I didn't have anything lower than $1, wasn't going to give him a hundred coins. The guy refused to take my coins, basically refusing me paying for his service. And I quote: " Sorry dude we don't take coins for that amount of $22". Pathetic service. If only he had looked, he would have seen about $18 dollars of that was $2 coins. The essence of a business is making money: show a little bit of sympathy and accept cash, because it is what a business is meant to do. Terrible service.
