Johnson Street Liquor Store

Great store! Highly recommended. The staff are always super friendly and funny - never gotten any bad/weird vibes personally. Service is fast and they know their stuff when it comes to liquor - great recommendations! Pricing wise is in the middle, you can find cheaper but sacrifice selection - cheaper than bcl and other chains that's for sure. And taxes are priced in so that's a plus. Also ofc they will check your ID it's the law lol. They've never been pushy about it with us, so maybe it's you. It's like a mom and pop restaurant...but only they just serve you liquor.

Wow... 12 Corona Lights cost $39 including tax!!! I won't be shopping there again :-(~~~ Crazy prices...

I have been going to this cold beer and wine store for many years as I have lived within a ten minute walk. I have been always impressed with the customer services in terms of selection and availability of products especially any weekly specials. As I am a senior now, particularly that of an additional 10% off on Tuesday, which has been a great incentive for a customer to continue to be supportive of a community business during this difficult pandemic year! Unfortunately, I had discovered recently that for the first time in all these years that any fifteen can beer specials are now exempt from any senior 10% discount which I thought was a way of "punishing" the customer for the want of a better word for the current situation. That was the way I felt and probably would dictate my decision to visit a government liquor store even if that would mean an extra thirty minute walk.

I went in and asked the staff member if I could take a picture of the counter. He pointed on condensation stained counter and ok just the counter. Clever but not helpful. Over priced and uncomfortable.

The problems with this store are as follows: There is always constantly changes of prices: one minute the liquor is on sale and the other minute is NOT! The beverages are way a bit pricy with limited choices. The store assistants handpick the customers whom they want to greet while they ignore others. The only good things are the Owner is the good man and the store is closer to public places.

I've been coming to this store for about 3 years now and the service is always great. The selection varies from week to week on some items but for the most part they should have almost everything you need!

Was in a shared parking lot buying groceries next door. Upon returing to my car, a delivery truck for the liquor store starting pulling in, boxing me in entirely. The truck driver and liquor store manager (or so she claimed) very much noticed me and my husband, made eye contact with each other, smirked, and proceeded to unload multiple crates of shipment. I approached the manager and asked how much longer they would be. With all the entitlement she could muster with a thick superficial coating of professionalism, she said it wouldn't be much longer. My husband and I ended up waiting 15 minutes, just watching them leisurely unload and take inventory. When the manager finally freed up, I approached her, asked for the manager, said she was the manager while pretending to fixate on her clipboard, and began to walk away from me. With a calm but displeased tone, I let her know how she could have handled that situation better. She said I shouldn't have parked there (even though I was parked legally, not in their designated spots) offered no apology, and walked away like I was yesterday's jam. The two staff behind the counter gave me a sypathetic look and apologized on her behalf and because of her disrepectful behaviour. To the owner: reconsider training said manager or replace her with someone who has a passion for customer service and empowering the team. As an HR specialist, it was clear that staff morale is low, most likely from her poor leadership and toxic behaviour. Input = output. The happier your frontline staff are, the more they will care about the success of your business, regardless of high turnover. Build this into your business' culture and I guarantee your profits will grow.

Pretty good liquor store. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. It's not big, but I am usually able find what I need
