My experience is, I have been a consumer from the date this store was open. I lived in a house close by when it was called the Coach House. Long term resident of the North Shore. I went in today to get a bottle of wine. The staff allowed a large unleashed Rottweiler into the store. It basically ran around all over including the back of the till area. 2 staff were there, one male and one female personnel. The male was fine with it running around (ok with dogs) but the female was sort of ok but totally into dogs. I, at the time grabbed a bottle of wine and proceeded to the counter to pay. I am allergic to dogs and do not invite them into my space.... The dog went for my crotch and I lifted my knee to block its face like I always do with anyone's dog unleashed and not incontrol. The owner of the dog looked apologetic but the male counter personnel said that's not cool dude!! Kicking a dog. I told him I did not and additionally I don't need a dog in my crotch. I was in work clothes but if I was in nice clothes this would be an issue!!! Cleaning bill!! He then said dogs are allowed in here and are totally ok. I guess unleashed is also ok. He was billigerent to me and we argued about the situation. I did not purchase the wine and left. I have been in North Van my entire life and will NOT shop in this store again.... I will make sure none on my other North Shore friends shop there ever. One of the most unpleasant shopping experiences I have been in. By the way., I can also note the Show wine at other stores are at 21.99 and they have it at 27.99 plus tax. Brutal survice...
   Read moreWhat is happening to the beer and wine store? It seem as though staff is very unhappy. There used to be a stocky girl there, always smiling and happy. I’m note sure why store would be out of stock of a lot of items. I needed my brand of beer and it wasn't there twice! Unacceptable! A man was there working A while ago and I’m not sure if he’s new but I hope he’s not..very sad atmosphere, not sure if it’s closing...
   Read moreWhy would any decent business in their right mind keep closing at random hours? They say they're open until midnight or 2am but they almost always close up hours earlier, almost impossible to tell when these guys will be open but they're the only place within walking distance to me. The selection they offer is also pretty lacking of most the basic drinks for a goddamn...
