I feel cold when in here, and mostly because the employees aren't very warm. Although helpful, it would be nice to be greeted with smiles, and be treated as a valued customer, and not just "next". It's very tiny, and I often don't know whether I'm allowed to grab beer off the shelf or not, so I promptly wait for them to ask what I'd like. It's sometimes slow service, sometimes fast, smells strongly like a beer store should, and you see some real characters at this location. The menu choices should be way more visually available, rather than the product itself, or the dependence of personal customer research before choice, after all, not all people are connoisseurs of alcohol. I'd give it a 5 star if I didn't feel like I'm on a conveyor round about, being analyzed by people half my age.

If you happen to be in Oshawa for a road test at 200 John Street West, and are feeling a bit anxious or bore, no worries: there’s a Beer Store right around the corner! A bit of beer tasting won’t do you any harm while you wait patiently for your friend, girl/boyfriend, partner, wife/husband, etc. to return with good news about their road test! What’s nice about this beer store is that they have a few categorized shelves that display a variety of different beers. For example, their “New Arrival” shelf, which contains a selection of all their vary latest arrival, or their “Mix & Match” shelf which contains a selection of their most popular beers. This is different from other Beer Stores that don’t display anything other than billboard advertisements. What’s also nice about this particular beer store is that there are two separate lines for customers dropping off cans, bottles, etc., and customers who are actually there to purchase beer. This should be the standard for every beer store so that customers in one line aren’t having to wait for customers in the other. Perhaps the only downside is they don’t have large digital tablets that allow you to scroll through their full selection of beers or to place an order digitally at the store.

This is one of the smaller beer stores. Went inside this place for the first time. The outside looks a bit sketchy, albeit depending on the time of the day, so I never wanted to go in. The interior is clean and tidy, the shelves are full. The staff are polite and helpful. There are plenty of parking spots around, there are lots of return bins and push carts outside and easily accessible. Visited at around 6:30pm on a Wednesday, there were a couple of patrons inside and a few were coming in, quiet a traffic in my opinion for a small place. I can only imagine how it could be on the weekend.

This location is run so efficiently. The access is off a main road and parking is always available. The store is bright and kept very clean. The staff here are always smiling and willing to help you. The check out process is handled quickly and safely. Even with a line up they keep the wait time down to an absolute minimum. A recommended location for anyone on the way through the city. The selection of products is more than you would expect and the displays are easy to read and understand.
