Great selection of Ontario micros. Most of their "international" beers are lagers or pilsner, which I suppose is what sells to the general public but it sucks when you are looking for something different. Free parking and easy to get to are awesome in downtown TO.

This was a longish walk from our hotel near the convention center, but we were rewarded with about the best selection of beer we found in Toronto. Nice selection of local and some European beers but not much in the way of US imports (noticed some Rogue, DFH and Southern Tier and that was about it). Still, we managed to spend a good deal of time and a chunk o change on beer that we lugged back to our hotel.

It’s a liquor store with a great selection, otherwise there isn’t a whole lot to say. Not much ambience due to it’s nature.

Satisfying experience as I came to get cheap Schlenkerla lagers and cheap Christoffel Blondes. This is precisely what I got, nothing else felt interesting enough, but I was not expecting more. Easy parking.

Best LCBO in Ontario PERIOD. Not much else to say, if the LCBO carries it, they will have it. Same old SHIT LCBO service.

A cramped place to shop, and a bit out of the way for most people. However, often one of the first stores to pick up special seasonals before anyone else, so a must visit before they are bought out.

The LCBO Queens Quay, while passable, and certainly one of the only two LCBOs in Toronto that are acceptable, has now been surpassed by the giganterrific Summerhill branch. The other LCBOs suck so bad you needn’t set foot in them. Know that.

Why is this SUCH a good ’place to hit? The more worthy seasonals get picked over the same hour they arrive by every restauranteur & beer hunter in the area. Better to scope out other area stores (lcbo.com - product search.) Some of the staff are very helpful with store transfers & even securing stock. Some of the staff provide the usual misinformed blather. Try the service desk if the person working the floor is completely confused about beer / stock arrivals / seasonals / what year and planet they are on etc.

I don’t understand what the fuss is with the LCBO Queen’s Quay location. The aisles are cramped, and the selection is not that different to my local store (Summerhill). They do seem to get a few seasonals sent their way, but nothing that I could not have picked up on release locally. I’ll stick to Summerhill.

Not impressed, especially after reading the write-up here. The place is large, but cramped. Aisles were narrow and/or blocked with crates. Selection was disorganized and unimpressive. I found maybe six beers I can’t get at my local. Couldn’t find anyone who knew anything about beer. How disappointing, if this is actually the flagship. (I seem to remember a couple of places in Ottawa being much better.)
