BCLIQUOR Fort Street

Used the washroom and was accused of suspicion of stealing. Wild accusations get wild reviews. #heybuddy!

Good location and lots of selection. The staff were very eager to help if we had any questions.nthey also had lots of higher end alcohol and wines.

They sell booze here, not a lot to say. Wish BC didn't have such a monopoly on alcohol sales, but I digress.

Went in to check for my beer, couldn't find it so I approached the cashier. An old white haired man in glasses. As I walked up to him he was death glaring me the whole time, so I walked out the door. Plenty of other stores that wont harass me before I even talk to them. I'm a young looking 26 year old man. But regardless. Don't judge your customers before IDIng them. I won't be coming back.

So I walk in all sweaty just after a killer wo (workout) at the OBRC (Oak Bay Recreational Centre) and they just do not give a d**n. I looked practically homeless and was tripping from the bloodloss. I am glad I did not knock over any bottles and I am sure they are too. After buying my boooze I cracked one open with the boys right there. Cashier, Dan I think his name was, said my next 6 was on the house and that's when I picked up another coors light and headed out the door with my girlfirend and her two kids.

Would rate more stars if i could, highly special place, with cool guy Dan.

I've travelled far and wide and not often do you come across such a fantastic wine selection. Plus, the wine recommendations from the consultants (that are featured and reviewed) are constantly blowing my mind; My wife and I have enjoyed countless bottles of some really tasty stuff that we wouldn't have gravitated towards without them being featured wines. This location typically has some very decent sales and I appreciate the expertise of the staff. All around, this is probably one of my favourite liquor stores.

The Fort and Foul Bay store is the best for wine among Victoria’s BC Liquor stores. They have a lot of affordable bottles, and your shopping is somewhat made easier by staff picks, magazine reviews, etc.posted alongside specific bottles and shelves. The bottles by the wall are the pricier premium wines, and if you know your stuff there is a wealth of choices available from all parts of the world (though there is probably a heavier slant towards France and Italy). The store doesn’t have knowledgeable staff on the floor at all times (few BC Liquor stores do) but if you luck out, you will get very good advice on wines you would likely have overlooked.

Limited selection in each category as it is a smaller store but they have a good cross section of costs and choices for the size of the store!

Sale price didn't scan and they charged full price. Didn't notice until after I left.

They always have a great selection at this store, and Ernie is always there asking if we need help. He knows his wine, too.

It's a Signature Store, so that means an expanded selection, esp for wines. Certified wine expert is almost always available. Very good hours and open every day of the week. Friendly staff who are happy to help you find what you'd like without up-selling you. Weekly sales and discounted wines that punch well above their weight for the price.

Good selection of spirits and beers. Less so for ciders, particularly if you want authentic local ciders- I'd go to Vessel Liquors for that (1609 Fort St).

One of only a few liquor stores in Victoria that feature (and negotiate special low prices on) the yearly Bordeaux Release (come early or you'll miss out!), and lower-profile yearly releases of things like high-end Spirits or Beaujolais Nouveau (yum!).

My go-to place for wine (both celebratory vintages and everyday table wine).

Recommended.

Very helpful staff willing to spend the time to answer your questions and find what you were looking for. Also found it very clean and well organized!
