Nice place with great prices for a cold beer and wine and friendly service. Selection is pretty good coming from an Ontario perspective. They have a few European imports, a couple U.S. beers and a bunch of BC stuff.

This store is the worst in the capital region. Rude staff that will not help you unless you wait for them to finish talking to eachother, they keep their spirits against a window with sun pouring in on them, which speaks volumes about the level of expertise in this store. I bought the first bad case of lucky beer I’ve ever had in my life this week. It’s not only well past its expiry date, it tastes like it’s been through multiple severe temperature changes. The bottle of Jameson i bought had been in the sun for months and tasted so awful I poured it down the drain. What a disgrace.

Looking like any liquor store around, at least they have many Spinnakers beers, maybe Moon Under Water too, and a decent offer of Ice Ciders, Ciders and Meads.

Very pleasant little shop with a nice selection of canadian, US and good international beers. You can pick up wifi from a nearby Starbucks in the shop which makes it easy to check Ratebeer.

Good stuff that I can’t get in Washington. Good selection (as far as I know) of local beer... About 7-8 Phillips brews.

Visited woth Joss, Enniskillen, and CapFlu. Good selection of local Canadian bottles, wish I had brought more cash to buy some of the local ciders!

Visited them after a meal at the Spinnakers Brew Pub. Picked up 4 750 ml of single malts and the Elgood’s Captain Vancouver 250th Anniversary Ale. As a citizen of Fort George. I felt it important to test this brew. If it were not for John Jacob Astor, Captain Robert Gray, and Capt. Vancouver the West Coast beer scene may not have happened?

Went there after GCBF. After talking to the guy at the till it sounded like exhibitors had given him a better selection of beers to try than they had for sale. BC may have more brew pubs but I will take Willow Park Liquor over any other store I have been to in Canada!

Mediocre liquor store with decent wine selection and a few beers. Not really that impressive, and I stopped only on the off chance that I might find faragoule (thyme liqueur).

Very little selection - they had a decent amount of local beer and a smattering of Belgian beers, but almost no British beers. They were really helpful, and managed to get rid of a customer who was drunk and trying to strike up conversation with my poor wife. Beware, though, they charge a premium on Spinnakers beers - get a better selection of Spinnakers stuff for up to 65 cents cheaper per bottle at the brewpub itself, only a 5-minute walk away.
