Viti Wine and Lager

Eclectic little store with a few hidden gems though tending towards 4 and six packs for local beers. Worth a stop if in the area.

Very decent selection of ale but cramped with stuff all over the place in no logical order. Service is indifferent but prices are fair and, unusually for Canada, include taxes.

A small shop off the main street with no parking. Cramped and the beer haphazard, service was marginal. Very wine oriented, but they did have a pretty good selection with man imports and stuff that is sold out elsewhere. Prices are pretty good. Go for the beer and ignore the rest.

Small shop but decent bottle selection. Friendly staff and can get busy due to its downtown location. Convenient.

Nice, smallish wine store with a very central location. Quite a few beers at the rear and a homey atmosphere thanks to the overkill presence of three employees in the minuscule space when we were there. More interestingly, among the beer selection, there were probably a solid dozen of rarer ones - like Trois Dames from Switzerland - that I had not seen at neither Firefly nor Brewery Creek a few days before. In other words, it’s a great complement to the other stores in town, but if you’re only oing to visit one store in Vancouver, this will not be the most satisfying of the lot.

More of a wine shop, but some good craft bewer selection. Just hope you don’t have claustrophobia. Place is small and packed full of product.

This is the first beer shop that I stumbled into when I moved into the city. Even though it is quite crowded with misc. boxes after talking to the store manager I came to understand that it is that way do to the fact to get spec beers in B.C. is a bit of a nightmare and he has to order a large amount and has know where to store them.

Tiny store with a fair number of beer. The location is good, but its not cheap. If you’re downtown it’s a good spot though.

Viti have a decent selection of beer for what is quite a small store, plus it has the added bonus of being downtown. The staff there are mostly beer geeks and so I usually have a good beer chat every time I visit. They have a decent selection of Belgian, USA and Canadian craft brews. I’ve even seen some good Mikkeller and Nøgne Ø brews there, plus the occasional few bottles of Westvleteren.
