My Mom and I go to buy some rum for rumballs to sell at self-run charity event and I held it as we got up to the cash so my Mom could get out her wallet. They then asked for ID, which I don't have since I am 4 months away of turning 19, not that it matters because I wasn't attempting to buy it. They then said that since I "handled" it, they were refusing to sell it to us. So we calmly explain that I am in no way trying to drink or buy the alcohol and was trying to use it for a notforprofit charity, but apparently touching a bottle is now unacceptable to them. We asked if I could leave the store and my Mom could come back in and buy it herself but this too was not enough. So I left the store in an attempt to calm the situation but we were apparently not allowed to give them money for their product, so she was told to leave. What made a ludicrous situation even worse was that they were completely bored and robotic the entire time and seemed quite pissed at us for trying to buy their product. Best part is that LCBO is the only one who carries rum so we then had to drive 15 minutes away to a different location. We are absolutely disgusted we have to give this company any of our money. Not happy. Will not be returning, I suggest you don't either.

There is an older white woman who is extremely racist who works there. She seems to be in her 80s. There is a clear sign telling that we have to form a line at a certain location. But when some white client comes and skips the line, she pretends not to see it happening and totally disrespects and ignores the clients who have been waiting in line. During covid times she kept coughing non stop and still came to work. Totally putting the public at risk. She thinks that she is above the law and can disrespect whoever she wants. I have been going to this lcbo location for 14 year. NEVER AGAIN. This pathetic woman should retire. Not sure why she is still working there at 80 and disrespecting people.

  • Zaira Gibbs

Usually I would say great staff but not today. Line up was ridiculous to check out, a long time to wait especially when you need to use a cane. But that is not my complaint, the issue is one employee thinking it is ok for people to jump the line a head of other customers just because they are either a young obese woman or the second an older man. Then when the customers complain about this, she calls them out for getting upset. Her attitude is what does one person's disability matter, it is irrelevant to waiting in line!

  • Brian T

Small location but it has the basics, they make due with the limited shelving they have. I've been coming to this location on and off for the last 20 years, it was one of the last and only locations that was open until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but I see it's changed to 10pm now. They always have on site security inside to minimize/deter theft. The parking lot can be a little chaotic at night be careful backing up out of the spots I have seem many people speed into the lot.

  • Ally W

Seems unfair to give such a low score here because the service was excellent and obviously the product is the exact same as all other stores. It's just a little small and dated but more importantly it's a little too sketchy for my comfort level. LCBO appears to be waiting for the neighborhood to be gentrified before giving this location a BADLY needed remodel (and hopefully reorganize the parking). I'm sure the community appreciated the beer store and their remodel A LOT more...

  • Alex Roy

People that work here definitely love their job by the joy written all over their face. Very concise with their helpful responses. Knowledgeable to a fault about their limited line of products. Selection is surprising for the size of this joint. It's a tiny LCBO what else do you need? My only qualm with it is the lack of automatic doors for when my arms are piled with white claw and twisted teas on my way home to another zoom party.

  • Atlas

This a small but very convenient location... always clean and always in stock of what ever you may need ... exceptional customer service here .. the staff are patient an kind ... willing to go in the back to look for anything u may need that’s not on the floor ... it’s location is perfect too cause there is a beer store within walking distance and other shopping attractions located around ..., opens late on Sunday as well

  • Georgina Palmer

Not only do I always find what I want here & find the help I need when I cant find my crafts , i witnessed cashiers save a customers life yesterday.they handled it calmly with team work while i was the women panicking next in line.i think their names were Brenda frank and Jamie. I will definately be giving this store my business and I hope u do too. Great customer service who really go beyond expectations

  • OG SWABY

I walked in at 8:40, well before the listed closing time, and was kicked out. The workers told me that they were already closed and didn't provide any reason. They seemingly just wanted to. This has happened to my at this location a few times and that's pretty insane. I'd understand if there was an emergency, but they just close when they feel like it. I haven't seen this in an LCBO before.

  • Pamela Yetman

I called yesterday and was told by a female that a wine, Grand Sud chardonnay was in stock. When my mom and I arrived today we were told by Brenda that you don't even carry this product. She took the time to call another store that showed inventory unfortunately, this store couldn't locate their product 10 bottles but we really appreciated the effort. An epic fail for the phone employee.

  • Nilesh Vikhe Patil

I buy drinks from here all the time. But today I had really bad experience. This old lady working here is too much rude person. I don't know why she is even working here. I wanted to pay by tab and she said to me that haven't you visited any store yet. I can't write in words but I am not going back here again. Just useless and hopeless person.

  • Bobby Makedonski

  • Vanessa Lawrence

The team here is excellent. I dont know how they deal with the clientele here in Scarborough so well. I imagine it isn't always easy but I still always get good service. They are so helpful with finding products etc. Shout out to Brenda. She has been here for years & always puts a smile on peoples faces with her wit & smile. #deservespromotion

  • Jon C

Selection here is not the richest and customers here are not the best behaved ... staff is friendly and helpful, so most of the stars are for that! You'll get your usual suspects of beer, wine and liquor but don't expect anything unique ... smaller and older-looking store; prefer the one Kingston and McCowan if you can make it there

  • Iris Cameron

Getting around with a cane and was taken great care of with help in selecting and picking up selections and carrying them to the counter for me they also carried them out for me. New to getting around on my own from a back and spinal injury and the staff was great they could have not been more accommodating. Thank you LCBO

  • Mike M.

LCBO makes a lot of money from stores like this one. Hard-working staff who are constantly stocking shelves. Enormous amount of booze goes out the door. Probably one of the top five stores in the GTA in sales volume. Ask staff about a product and you'll get a reply. Kudos to the staff who keep this place running.

  • Margaret Herd

Wine selection is very limited. The cashier rang in three bottles at the same price, as if they were all the same brand, rather than actually looking to see that they were all different. Had I not noticed I would have paid $5.00 more for two of them. No apology, just a query of "really, they aren't the same?"

  • Simo Korac

I really fail to understand why I would be asked to rate the liquor store. I mean really. I dare to see someone give it less than 5 stars. They sell liquor. It's an automatic 5 stars. I don't care if I have to wait all day, they have my coping with others medication, so of course its 5 stars. Period. …

  • R W

Great staff very fast and mostly accurate. Shelves are at the most part stocked, very sketchy area but staff seem to have it under control. Should have more police presence in store but kudos to staff considering what I've seen them have to deal with rude customers and shoplifters. My area lcbo.

  • Bandana Shah

Get the best range of boozes all at store. You can find all ranges of imported and local ranges of whisky, brandy, rum, beer, vodka and many more. The price is reasonable and the stores are located at most of the urban locations. So what are you waiting for? Go get the best for your weekend.

  • Angeline Pearce

I was in the LCBO to purchase a specific item 'Winter Jack' and ir was I available. I asked a staff member who turned out to be the Manager if the had any. He went the extra mile and after he checked the back room for stock he checked other stores. Thanks to him I now have 2 bottles.

  • Jimmy Osmond

It's a bit of a sketchy LCBO, but it almost always has what I'm looking for and it is open later then most. Also my personal experience with employees has been great. I had great help when looking for wine as I don't drink it and it was a gift; also the cashiers are all very nice.

  • Michelle Mears

Best LCBO, it is an old store but the staff are so helpful and will go to great lengths to make you happy. They are pretty good with their supply chains and usually always have what you need. This location can show the other LCBO locations how to actually run a great business!

  • Randy Semmens

the best staff i ever knew, so very very helpful always willing to help so many to mention but Brenda stands out plus a cpl of other great n amazing ladies. Keep up the great work. I also want to Thank You for stepping up during this stupid Covid you are heros trust me. Randy

  • Jason Knowlton

Selection is limited at this location and asking for help from the girl with glasses that wears the arm sleve and black shirt on the far right cash is impossible. She stacks shelves and ignores you when you ask her for help. Other stores would be better to attend …

  • shawkat milton

This lcbo is not have decent collection, specially wine and spirit. If you expect like clifcrest plaza or danforth-victoria lcbo collection here then you will be upset, but you can get altime collection. Always busy environment. Staff's are helpfull like other places.

  • ravindra vemulapalli

Lol the only place to get alcohol and this is one if the safer ones, there is always security here and they keep a clean store, most of the shelves are always stocked. Although they don't have the largest of selection, what they have will work for most people.

  • Niomie Harris

Very clean and neat when you go in. It looks organized. I'm not a drinker so I had to walk around a few times to see what I was looking for haha. Staff is very friendly. I would've asked for help but I like to just look around myself. Wasn't too busy at all.

  • Kelly McKinnon

My experience at this LCBO was pretty good they had drinks there that I didn't even know they made I like the coolers and the coolers they had taste like creamsicles white freezies blue freezies you name it they had it my experience here was amazing

  • Mia S.

This is one of the few locations in Scarborough that is open till 10pm. The store is small and didn't have the wines I was looking for (Chillean nor Argentinian). Lines were huge but moved quickly. Parking is free and parking lot a bit chaotic.

  • Mrs. KAT

Thanks for helping and being so patient and kind. And a newbie at making drinks you helped me with a list of ingredients cause I had no clue how to make adult shirley temple . Kuddos to the man working here. Cheers . Happy New Year !! …

  • Jatique Khan

Very clean and very friendly, other then the security guard who looks angry and ready to kill someone it was a pleasant experience. All the product I wanted was there and great service from the cashiers and workers stocking the shelves

  • Albert Pember

My favourite run through the whole pandemic. My wife stocked up. I bought a good bottle of peaty Scotch that I've wanted to sample for quite a while. Guess I've still got a few days left to sample it before the pandemic ends ya think?

  • Ferby

There is a manager named Brenda & she's creating an extremely toxic work environment for the employees. Brenda does not have the skills to lead a workplace. She's rude to employees in front of customers as well. How unprofessional.

  • Dee Shepley

Disgusted by the actions and attitude presented by manager Brenda. As a customer service manager, also working in an AGCO controlled environment myself, this is absolutely not how you run a business or lead a team. Shame on you.

  • R L

Clean store almost always having security in some form. Polite and kind clerks. Simple store layout. The only downside is a slightly wonky parking lot and that's only a downside if its hard to make out the road from snow

  • Anthony Barrow

Had a bit of surprise when I entered the store to find my regular shelves were moved. Found them after a walk around. Was also informed, they no longer accept airmiles cards. Other than that, service was still great.

  • Joseph Vrian Zabala

Brenda has been quite the professional! Yelling across the store at employees and giving them attitude in front of customers. Looks like I'm not the first person to write about this Manager but she needs to be gone.

  • Matthew Stevens

Generally good selection, but the person that helped me had their mask under their chin. If they're ignoring policies that could save people's lives, it makes you wonder what other policies they're ignoring.

  • Robert Williams

I just find staff to be either sullen or surly. There's not a very welcoming atmosphere. These people generally make good money so they should have permanent smiles on their faces. Come on people get happy!

  • Steve Baroti

Small store, it looks like it was made of plywood. Somehow recluse, not glitzy, everything is slow like one is suddenly located in a small town where nothing happens. Will definitely come back every year! ♥

  • Salvinu Cassar

I was in the store today, and I got verbaly attack, by one of the staff members (blad, black man). Just for walking behind a yellow line! I think this guy needs some time off to deal with his anger issues!

  • Sijohn

Place is good with all sort of spirts and wine needed. But not a friendly place of cashier's. Advice to cashier: Treat everyone the same, remember it's a holiday season and treat people with happiness.

  • Doug Hardee

Brenda is the worst manager. She doesn’t set a good example for her employees and is so rude to customers. She should move on to something else since she probably is so miserable there. Just fire her.

  • Cam Toby

This LCBO is on the smaller side so some of the items you need you can't find here. However they still have a large variety of liquor for you to choose from and the staff is always helpful and polite

  • Lori Allan

Best kindest staff ever no lineups there always happy and helpful love this lcbo its run by great manager who knows how to hire especially for a tiny store therevalways on point and great secerity

  • Deepak Sharma

Nice place to have liquor. I am impressed by the beer variety they have. Also they have a complete stock of Wine, whisky and other spirits. Perfect place for booze lover. …

  • Christopher Savund

They have a good selection of liquors, wines, and and its location - and hours is convenient. Every week, there is at least one brand of that is on sale ; with a marked down price. …

  • JL Lyns

Great selection of both Ontario Craft beers and imports. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is their refrigeration system in section where I get my beers from isn't making the beers cold.

  • stuffbyduff

Staff very friendly, offered to carry by bottles to my car as I had a large load but I was able to manage on my own. Store could use some updating compared to other lcbo locations tho.

  • Taskeen Hundal

Disgusting lady that Miss Brendi Brenda whatever her name is. She got no manners, I wonder where her manners are and she gotta go. At least act like a decent human. A walking shame.

  • Sabby

Very rude staff lack costumer care i asked old dude about specific beer and he said (we dont sell it here )however i found it later in the in exact place where he was standing .

  • Keetharni Thusyanthan

My family always goes to this location as it seems this location always has a good selection of liquor compared to other locations. Also, staff are always friendly and helpful.

  • Adeel Shahzad

Brenda needs to get her attitude checked. She was yelling at the cashier across from the store. When pointed out by one of the customers, her reply was "yeah, i don't care"

  • Ruth-Claire Alinas

It was very busy before Canada Day. Some shelves item are sold out. There are staff I can see for help. I go here for special occasions and there is always someone to help.

  • Jayne Huggett

Now I know best store ever staff is friendly and helpful and always kind and greet you with a smile and I always leave feeling great full the best store for me love you all

  • adewale atewogbade

Small and comfy with a lot of domestic and international selections. Boasts free wifi although I have no idea how long a customer can remain in the store. No sitting area.

  • Tru3 North

OK for a quick stop good selection, the staff is polite to customers but I have seen them on occasion arguing with each other. (not a very relaxing place to shop).

  • Amen Ra

Why would you dislike a liquor store? Lol. Police often monitor customers as well as security which is good. Lots of substance abusers live in the area though.

  • David Harris

This location is definitely old and outdated....however they do carry booze so that's all that matters.... Just don't expect the "automatic" doors to work....

  • Aj Sevilleja

Employees are extremely rude especially the white girl with white highlights who discriminated me. Will NEVER BUY in this location AGAIN! VERY DISAPPOINTED!

  • Hannah Blake

Brenda is very unprofessional and swears from across the store. She needs to be fired. She treats staff and customers with no respect, or professionalism.

  • T

Awesome service by Khalia! Very friendly, pleasant and very helpful; she helped me sign up and collect my points that I forgot about. Thank you Khalia!!!

  • Damian Vidal

Good location with friendly staff and and easy layout. Lacks the beer and wine selection of the larger stores but generally good selection of everything.

  • Brian Mahoney

My store of choice. (Tip for beer drinkers: check for specials. Quite frequently, the prices of imports are less than what the beer store can offer.)

  • Subarno Chowdhury

Brenda the manager needs to be gone ASAP! I used to work at LCBO and treating a cashier like this is unacceptable no matter how bad the situation is.

  • marcie gland

Not a frequent flier of the LCBO, but, the regular staff there are very nice. Place is clean & well stocked. Sometimes, beggars & crackheads outside.

  • appleofmyeye

Your employees are super unprofessional - miss Brenda specifically . Why isn’t she fired yet for lack of decorum and inappropriate behaviour ??

  • Jason Alaksa

Older store. Parking lot is under constructio. (As of early July 2018). For the size and age of it the selection is ok and the staff seem good.

  • Sahith Reddy

I liked the labelling system. Every row has clearly mentioned what it consists and the person at the counter is very friendly and helpful.

  • Eternity Knight

One of the better LCBOs I have been too. Friendly helpful staffed. I asked for a flavour and they found a couple different options for me.

  • Rafinoor Islam

Only one out of the many cash register workers seem happy and cheerful. The rest are miserable; never a smile, does not want to be there.

  • Gomathi Nayagam

There is no rush. you never want to wait in a queue. even on weekends. The staffs are polite. they even help you with the drinks choice.

  • V J

Very small, but simple to get around LCBO. Found what I needed very quickly. Line up was minimal. Didn't have to wait long to cash out.

  • Carley MacPhee

Fantastic customer service. The blond cashier I believe named Sarah was so helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this location

  • David L

Maybe Brenda was having a bad day. But still doesn’t mean she needs to treat her staff and customers that way. Even on a bad day.

  • Sarah Hood - Keys

Great place to buy your booze haven't been to an LCBO in years the woman at the cash was super friendly I'd go back there again!

  • Doreen Smith

Whenever i go to this LCBO, the staff are very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. I always get great receipe and new drinks idea.

  • Sabbir Ahmad

It’s a smaller LCBO location so they may not carry everything you’re looking for but the staff are very friendly and helpful.

  • abbey rahmann

If Brenda still works there, I will NEVER be going again. Horrible attitude using cuss words and yelling at employees. Gross

  • Stihl Crazy

Store is great employees are fantastic but that grumpy manager Brenda needs to find herself a job where she will be happy.

  • Alexander James-Palmer

Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Worked with them in the past, the staff act very professional and respectful.

  • Natalie DeMaria

I had a great experience here with one of the staff members, Jacky! She was able to assist my needs and made me laugh!

  • Jazzifur McE

Good inventory, but not as many specialty beers as other locations. This is to be expected as location is quite small

  • maanasa reddy

Worst experience, cashier was racist and treated us very badly. They better concentrate on serving customers fairly.

  • Manohar Babu

So much of variety of Brands on Display. Overwhelmed with so many options across the globe. Wow! Staff are cordial.

  • Henry Gift

The staff are always willing and ready to assist as soon as you call for their attention. Well labeled floor space.

  • Diane McCabe

Never a long wait! Even when there is a line-up, it always moves quickly because there is always adequate staff.

  • Joelle Paquet

The manager Brenda needs a lesson on respect. I’m sure the store would be more successful if she were let go.

  • Ted Linden

Average selection, small store, always a customer starting a fight with someone. Kind staff for the most part

  • Theresa Cartwright

Clean, organized and staff were in good spirits... Pun intended. Glad to know this location is close to home.

  • Chad Daley

They're always out of something I want but they usually have a good substitute. Staff is also really helpful

  • Lovepreet Singh

It was a good visit here. I went here with my college-mates and we bought beer from here. It was awesome.

  • Angie Pearce

Christmas gift sets are starting so get them early. This is a busy store but they are always well stocked

  • Michael Luciuk

Decent selection of wine and spirits for small store, but craft beer section leaves alot to be desired.

  • Shenette V

This LCBO is very tiny. The selection is very limited. The Bayview village location is a lot better.

  • jennifer udi

I came for a job interview but getting there I was wowed. Interesting place to purchase your wine.

  • Dhai Anne

Brenda is rude and super disrespectful to their staffs, specifically on the cashier and costumers.

  • Paul Karp-Johnston

Typical LCBO, nice staff who kept the place tidy and organized. Stocked nicely with wide selection

  • Edison Nyaga

A horrible place to shop. Always short of the brands not matter how many times you remind them.
