Beer Store

The security guard is a creep. I came in bought a single light 3.3%beer and then waited for my bf in the park drinking it and he told me he watched me the whole time.and when I came back in with my bf he told me I wasn’t allowed to do that and when I said it was up to the cops not him he took an aggressive stance to me. First of all security guards aren’t police. Second of all, that place has vulnerable people regularly pan handling and passing out in front including that day and that guy was just strolling around with his vest on watching me.

WOMEN DONT GO HERE ALONE. He stared me down the moment I walked in and follows me through the store. Tall ish Arab guy. Aggressive.

April 8 - No Guinness because “we must have sold out for St.paddy’s and haven’t order more yet”… a month ago and they haven’t replaced their stock. A government sanctioned private monopoly where service is non-existent and rude if you’re lucky enough to get any. The place is a Tip, it is unquestionably the business that has the biggest adverse impact on our neighborhood: offers nothing, costs everything- socially and financially. Get lost!

Wide range of beers to buy from which were neatly displayed. Store is well maintained and the staffs are super helpful

Sometimes only 1 cash is open, Slow service when you have alot of change only buyers.
Great selection, knowledgeable staff.

Always stocked. Staff are polite and work hard and do their jobs to the best of their ability. Beverages are displayed nicely and are nice and cold when you purchase them. Good location. All the best. May God Bless the Staff. Cheers.

Amazing humans work here. I accidentally left my mug here and they not only kept it for me the next day, but rinsed it out as well. Thank you so much!

Also many different options for Ontario craft, which is nice.

Great beer selection. Friendly and helpful staff. I always enjoy the guy with the big booming laugh.

Credit card works everywhere else except this beer store. Just one employee at this store refuses to let me use my credit card without a hassle.

Nice outlet. Would be nice if small tables at registers for loading of products to bags, napsacks, carry bags etc.instead of holding up customer line

If u r prepared with empties ur in and out quick and same for picking up beer. There is security at the door and don't tolerate problem customers.

This is where the boozehounds come to get their sustanance and buctees come to cash in their daily pickings

Been living in Ottawa for a month now and went into the beer store on Somerset for a gluten free option for beer. My girlfriend and I were in the store for maybe a minute when the clerk came rushing out onto the floor. I asked for a gluten free option like cider or something. He says "we don't sell that here it's just beer. Then rushedly escorts my girlfriend and I out of the store. I have managed liquor stores in Alberta and this cashiers customer service was atrocious. He tried to save himself by pointing out the

Usually stocks a great selection. Staff obviously have it a little hard at this location due to some of the customers they get but they always seem to try and make your visit better.

It's a beer store. You can return empty wine bottles and beer cans for 10 cents. They have a huge selection and it's kept extremely cold which is nice on hot summer days. The staff are nice and all of them have worked there for a long time. The area has a lot of low income people and it's one of the only downtown beer stores, so you might run into some scruffy looking people.

Great folks girls and guys who work there
Big love and niceset staff i ever meet
Like my home friendly and very nice
Hard workings folks and excellent
Admirer from tunisia

Selection could be better, and I've been approached more than once for change inside that store

Because it is ran by unionized workers who are in no hurry to serve you or make business any better due to the fact that they are unionized. This place is simply design for the daily lushes which make up 50% of the community of Ottawa.

All brands Canadian and non canadian are available. The whole store is cooled to keep the beer cold.

I don't know how those guys at that beer store can stay so friendly and cool in the context of that neighborhood. The stuff they have to deal with? I can't even imagine. Hats off to them all.

One of the worst locations to return empties. The line is comparable to the location in Vanier. So is the smell.

I get it this place is full of recycled materials and it's good for the Earth yada yada but my opinion dishes house the seals area completely separate from the recycling area stench of fermented green wheat barley whatever is overpowering their multibillion-dollar industry and their stores are the dirtiest smelliest and most unwelcoming of all on a positive note the staff at this location is super nice.

Dreamland for beerlovers - good selection of beers in icecold shopfloor. Affordable prices and opening times 7 days a week till 9pm in the evening (Sundays 6 PM)

Clean, pretty well organized. Didn't have everything I wanted but you can't be perfect! Good experience

Great selection! But if you look homeless/young, do expect security to mysteriously appear in every aisle you browse. It made my visit quite uncomfortable, apologies for looking like a "thief", whatever that may look like.
