  Wow. First time in this location. Amazing space. Largest selection of wines and spirits in Ottawa/Gatineau area. Service is fantastic. Parking is tight, however, there is a Metro lot you could sneak into! Excellent variety of craft beers, and during special holidays, there are plenty of gift sets to choose from. Customer care is fantastic. This is quite a busy location, so don't come here if you are in a hurry; the lineups can be quite long. Super impressed, all around. #localguide

  This LCBO is convenient, large and well stocked with liquor, liqueurs, wine and beer and includes a special France specic vintage section in the basement that sells top tier wines as well as other harder to find alcohols. This is the good. As for the bad, it is situated on the corner of kind Edward and Rideau. This means that shoppers will have to deal with homelessness and the fairly common disturbances as a result. Security is very visible and often sued to prevent theft and remove drunken and disorderly patrons. While the LCBO management does its best to provide the selection and experience that all shoppers idealize it falls far short, through no fault of its own. It cannot overcome its terrible location. Patrons should also realize that this is the main location for students to purchase their alcohol so expect long lines on Friday nights and before important events.

  The highlight of this LCBO is the wine cellar situated downstairs. They have a huge selection of vintages. Nicest looking LCBO that I've visited so far. Only complaint would be that each time I go there I always find myself in a huge line up at the cash registry. They should put more clerks at the stations and less at the shelving.

  Je suis passé cet après-midi. En arrivant à la caisse, le préposé servait déjà une personne et il y avait une 2è personne devant moi. De toute évidence l'employé était malade, atteint de la grippe. En servant le client, il a éternué et s'est essuyé le nez avec la main pour ensuite terminer sa transaction. Avant de servir la personne devant moi, il a pris un papier mouchoir pour bien se moucher. Ensuite, sans en être conscient, il a passé au moins 5 à 6 fois ce mouchoir de main à main. Et voilà, les mains sont très bien contaminées. L'employé procède avec la personne devant moi. Il manipule les produits et l'équipement de la même façon qu'il a fait avec moi, c'est à dire prendre les bouteilles par le goulot pour en faire la lecture électronique et les placer dans un sac. Maintenant, les bouteilles sont contaminées. Il va sans dire qu'en arrivant à la maison, j'ai lavé les bouteilles et me suis lavé les mains. Cette année, l'indice grippale est anormalement élevé, nous n'avons pas besoin d'un multiplicateur semblable. J'ai bien vu la cocarde et le nom de l'employé. Mon but n'est pas de dénoncer celui-ci. Je m'adresse à la direction. Vos employés sont protégés par une convention collective et certainement par des avantages sociaux. Je crois qu'il serait impératif de former vos employés en matière de contamination lorsqu'ils sont malades. Ou bien ils restent à la maison, ou au pire vous leur fournissez un désinfectant à main. Cet après-midi, mes bouteilles ont été contaminées ainsi que vos équipements de facturation, lecteur, caisse, etc., et l'employé suivant à ce point de vente sera certainement contaminé. Mon commentaire ne se veut qu'être constructif, ce n'est qu'une recommandation, mais importante à faire je crois. Je demeure un client fidèle à vous.

  This LCBO looked quite ordinary when we pulled into the parking lot. We were visiting the nation's capital and my Ottawa cousin was giving us a bit of a tour. It wasn't until we entered the LCBO store that you could see a wide set of stairs going down into a basement. We followed the stairs and found ourselves in a series of Vintages wine cellars. It was all very attractive with dark wood shelves and subtle lighting. The adjoining spaces had an intimate feel and each was labelled with a country's name. I couldn't absorb it all on this first visit so I settled on the Italy section. I don't often visit the Vintages section in my Kingston LCBO other than to treat ourselves with our favourite Toasted Head California chardonnay. Most of the other bottles in the Vintages section at our Kingston store seem to be well above our $20 limit. At this Ottawa LCBO in the Italy Vintages section, all the lower shelves displayed interesting bottles at prices less than $20. It took me no time to select a half case which was my limit in an already filled trunk space. When I arrived at the checkout, the man ahead of me in line nodded that I go ahead. He had between two or three cases worth of bottles in his cart versus my half case. I thanked him and made a mental note that I would have lots of trunk space on my next visit to my Ottawa cousin.
