This has been my go to LCBO for awesome booze selection since my time in Ottawa dating back to 2004. Now I only frequent when in town to stock up on some delicious wines from the vintage selection in the basement and watch in semi-amazement on how quick you can rack up a bill here!

Only downside and I'll mention it now is that the homeless people tend to beg outside or on the odd occasion get... more

This has to be the biggest LCBO that I have ever seen. Instead of a Vintages section, there is a basement for Vintages. Definitely can see how that would appeal to those who love their wine.

This place carries a wide-range of pretty much everything. I would be surprised if you couldn't find what you were looking for at this location.

An FYI to my my fellow citizens from the States, when you are in town, THIS is the place to go to buy your wines, beers, and spirits. Good selection and service.

Besides the LCBO in the Rideau Centre, this place is the one closest to my house. I tend to avoid the one in Rideau because although it's adequate, the selection isn't even comparable to this one. Another benefit to choosing this one over Rideau's is the fact that you'll probably find something on sale the Rideau one doesn't have on sale.

The staff here appear to be helpful, when I asked for a... more

The good thing about the LCBO is that when we buy there, the money stays in the family, so to speak. :-) On the down side, You need a haircut and a real job to be able to buy a good bottle of anything there. US border, here I come!!!

This LCBO is the largest LCBO that I've been to in Ottawa. They have a large selection of many items and a great wine selection including a basement full of wine.

This store carries almost everything the other stores in town do. If I can't find something at this store, the one in the south end usually has it. Between these 2 stores I can find most things that I want.

It is true that this particular LCBO is above all the rest. The first few times I was here I was awed by the size of the main floor, but realized later that the basement is full of vintages.

My sommelier friend is often here for tastings of new wines. The wines that you can find in the basement here are not offered at the other LCBO's, this LCBO has a special and limited stock. Restaurant... more

So large an LCBO I have scarcely seen. I've seen some on a similar footprint, true, though they were but a single floor. This temple to semiprivate alcohol consumption spans two floors, with a Vintages in the basement. Though not personally a wine drinker, I can appreciate that such a service is provided for those who do enjoy it.

The selection, at least in the beer department where I was... more
