This Optics Shop is classified in the category of Wine store.
Different kind of beer's, local breweries, relatively friendly staff, somewhat upscale, they didn't sell Alexander Keith's so I unfortunately didn't purchase.
Lots of tasty wines and great advice from the staff are why I shop here
Great selection with helpful, friendly staff.
Very good selection of local product. Prices are similar to the government operations. Emphasis on local product keeps more money in the community.
Great range of spirits, helpful staff.
Terrible cashier customer service, will never be going there again.
Great selection of beer cider and spirits! Also open later than NSLC on sundays
Beautiful clean store! Personnel here was very helpful and nice.
Excellent cohort of local beer and wines from afar. You're sure to find something for any taste at this new location of the former Cristall Wine Merchants from Bedford.
So many great products that aren't carried widely elsewhere - from local, national, and international wines and spirits to canned mixed beverages and coolers. Simon made some great suggestions - from a sparkling rosé to a hidden gem red wine that was raved about by the person who rang my order through as well. I need to make sure I pop in whenever I am in Clayton Park!
The men were very helpful, they offer a wine tasting tap as well as the ability purchase a growler(refillable) and pick your beer on draft. Those beers are rotated out and a great way to try new things.
Find everything you can't at the nslc and more! Specialties and late hours 7 days a week! Open on a lot of holidays and till 9 on Sunday!
Convenient location, friendly staff, expanded hours (compared to NSLC), and a broad selection.
Great selection of beers on tap, always has a selection of products not available at the nslc, and wonderful staff always ready to help!
Very very friendly AND love their hours. Suites me great!
great selection of wines that NSLC don't carry.
Great selection of local wine! Wish there were more options for local beers too
I love this place. I’ve loved them since they were in Sunnyside Mall. The selection is great, the safe is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Their hours are super convenient. There is no better place in this area to get your wine and craft beer.
Selection is awesome. I love seeing what they bring in for the growlers you can get on tap. One of the few places that regularly has cider on tap. Really nice selection of whiskey and other spirits. Was able to get my dad a nice bottle of 18 year old glennfiddich. Beer selection gets changed from time to time, but I find Rockhead seems to have a little more selection in that regard. I find this location easier to shop in because of its size and proximity to my home, however. Staff are always really helpful and are quick to point out new items.
Nice selections, it opens after 6pm on Sundays too.
Always great staff, never been unhappy with their suggestions!
Great selection of cider, best I've seen anywhere round here.
I always choose a stop into Westside over a visit to NSLC because the experience is so much more personal and exciting. The staff there are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and there is always something new to try. Such a great …
A great spot to find local craft beers. The rotating tap selection ensures you can always fill your growler or grunter with something delicious. They also have a large selection of wines and spirits.
Really great service and selection.
Loving that this is in my neighbourhood. Staff are great and thanku for placing most ROSÉ???? in one section! I guess I’m spoiled from LCBO’s as they do this every summer????
My go to store for wine. Staff is excellent and very knowledgeable.
Don't look for the usual thing. They specialize in the higher end stuff. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff for the most part.
Great wine store! Lots of selection and plenty of room to move around.
Awesome! great selection, friendly staff, prices were comparable ????????????
Great selection, friendly staff, great prices and growler fills.
Westside can cater towards the expensive, however their growler bar is amazing and all staff have always been more than friendly.
FINALLY - growler refills in the Clayton Park area. Great staff and a fantastic assortment of products that aren’t always found at the NSLC.
An excellent place with different options..i prefer West Side over the regular Liquor store.
Good wine selection but lacking in beer and cider choices.
Friendly staff and great selection of wine, spirits and local craft beers. I’m from out of town and I didn’t think a place like this existed; pleasantly surprised!
Great selection of local product as well as friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plus it's a liquor store that's open until 9 on a Sunday
Very interesting. Nice selection of a lot of things. Beer.... Kinda lacking, a lot of solo tall cans. I did find my favorite beer there tho so I can't complain.
Staff are very friendly. We try to shop here to buy local, and we choose local brands there also. With covid the selection of local beers has decreased sadly. I like that they have a good selection of Scotch and lots of decent wine as well. They take covid very seriously, good to see!
Friendly staff with lots of selection that you won't find at NSLC. Also, they have a lot of the local products here too. There's only about a 5% selection crossover from what you'll find at NSLC. Great tasting bar and growler fill up station as well.
Great selection of products and great location.
Not my cup of tea honestly , if you're into craft beers then this is probably more your club . They sell lots of individual IPAS and random stuff that you would probably never buy at the LC. Their selection is limited but its conveniently located next to Sobeys .
Good selection of spirits
More expensive then nslc for the same product, almost same products then nscl
Love the service at this location as well as the variety :)
I like this spot. They often have tastings on the go. They also stock one of my favourite beers: Uncle Leo Smoked Porter. They have lots of craft beer that you can’t get at the NSLC.
Love the selection and service is great. So much more local options provided here versus NSLC.
Its a pretty store but they don't have all that much. Staff is great and it would be 5 stars if they did no have to compete with a large NSLC only a few minutes down the road.
I've been in here 4 times, and everytime the staff, especially the cashiers, have been snobbish. They barely say hi, I can hardly hear them speak, and don't even look at me. I got ID'd at the age of 40, which too me, points out that they're disengaged. This place isn't as trendy as they'd like to think, and def doesn't warrant the hipster attitude. You're mainstream. Your lack of craft cider and the fact you sell Okanagan cider says it all.
One of few places that open till 10 pm for retail purchase. Because of the regulations, they don't keep anything that's already available in NSLC but still you won't disappointed as they offer many varieties of wines and beers. Very friendly staff and quick service
Awesome store staff very knowledgable and friendly
Great selection of local craft. Helpful staff.
Great layout! Beer selection could be better.
Friendly knowledgeable staff!
Fantastic selection of craft beers and ciders.
Really cool place! Lots of different drinks that you can't get at an NSLC.
Love the selection of ciders and local distillery products here!
This is a good alternative to the LC and I'm happy it's nearby. Some of the staff, however, feel they are better than the customers. A small attitude adjustment from management wouldn't be a bad thing. I usually pick up a growler of IPA about once or twice a week. It's good that I can sample the beer first.
Great selection, great service!!
They have a great selection of local beer and spirits, and the staff is very pleasant
Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff
Great little spot that also sells other liquors and spirits. Staff is always ready to help.
Incredible selection!! Also the staff are so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and very helpful. On more than one occasion they have recommended my "new favourite.". also sometimes they steer me away from one that is more expensive and take me to one that they recommend but ends up being a little bit cheaper too. Definitely puts my trust in their recommendation and that it's not just about money. 10/10
Nice liquor boutique. I like the options of local and imported beer. Wine selection is also good! Convenient store hours is great and you can count on them being open when other stores are not ????????
Staff are great and have great knowledge of their product! Great selection of local beers and spirits. Plus who doesn't like to support the small business owner!
Great selection of ciders and friendly staff.
Nice place, fount what I was looking for NP
Greats selection and open later and on holidays. A great alternative to the NSLC
Lots of great choices and Customer service was exceptionnel
Great selection of craft beers for such a small store.
Always a fantastic experience. Amazing selection and customer service
My wife refused entry to this store just because there is a chance she could steal from me having extremely small ladies backpack. You head that right, nice store, nice management, great security.
they have many alcoholic beverages not available at NSLC
These guys are open later than the NSLC and have a wide selection of local wine and beer. The employees are awesome to boot. Always able to help.
Great alternative to the NSLC. Good variety of wine and craft beers.
Great selection, helpful staff
Great ever changing selection of craft beers and specialty beers from around the world. While the beer selection is great and is probably one of the best in the city. the hard liquor selection really leaves much to be desired. Most brands stocked are generic or subpar compared to your regular nslc
I lover of wine this is a Awesome place
A nice big space with lots of great local drinks both hard and soft. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they even have a spot for their recommendations. Go here if you want to find something special that you can't find at an NSLC.
Manager Will runs a great shop. Huge selection, respectable pricing, well laid out. Samples available.
Great selection!
Way better hours then the nslc
Great store friendly knowledgeable staff!
Like the hours, but not many staff after 9. Have to wait 10 minutes always.
Great selection of premium beverages and the staff are all knowledgable, friendly and helpful.
Staff is super friendly and very helpful. Always willing to help me out with suggestions. Wife and I don't drink much wine. I describe what kind of flavours and price we are looking for and they walk me right to it. The suggestions have always been spot on. Very good. Local selection. Less variety then NSLC, but decent.
Great growler fill options and a wide variety of other alcohol options.
Love this place! Great selection, and knowledgeable advice.
Lots of great beer selection!
If I could give this store less than one star I would. The staff and security are less than welcoming. If you're not dressed to the nines and look like you have money DO NOT enter their store. They will treat you like a thief and follow you around as every single staff member asks you if you need help in a none too pleasant tone (aka you should leave) within literal seconds of each other. Funny thing is that the people I entered the store with are all doctors. Lee will just go to the NSLC at Bayers Lake from now on.
Great weekend liquor store
Good prices and verity of wines and beers.
Very knowledgable staff
My boyfriend and I have been shopping here for about two years and we have never had a bad experience. Any time we do not enjoy a product, or something happens to the packaging, they are right there to help. They have lots of different events to help you understand their products, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
A great selection of things not available at the NSLC.
Great selection, with a focus on local products, and great, knowledgeable staff.
Great place in Clayton park to try new wine or spirits not always available at the gangsterous nslc. They have a few different beers as well
Open til 9pm on Sundays. Need I say more?
Good variety of local craft beer and wine.
Really nice shop with a ton if options
Outstanding service!
Nice selection with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of craft beer, wine, and spirits. Love this place.
Great product and friendly staff.
Awesome spot thanks for being open on the holidays
Once the order was placed, the service and product were fast and efficient. The curbside pickup location spots are horrendous, basically a car accident waiting to happen. The information on the website (Harvest? WestSide? Are these the same …
Great selection and the staff are all amazing. Great place!
Great roatating craft beer selection. Only place I go for beer now!
Convenient store for wine and spirit :-)
Love the selection.. very helpful and love that it's not the NSLC
Came here to refill a few bottles. It was nice to be able to sample the beers and ciders before buying them. We had a discount coupon for the store it took a while to finally apply it as the system wasn't ready for those types of discount. In the end, they were able to apply some discount to our purchase. So we walked away happy!
They have the greatest selection of wines and the staff are very knowledgeable. And the fact they are open past 5 on Sunday's is nice
Great alternative to nslc! Great customer service.
Great selection if craft beers, constantly changing, always something new/interesting to try
Great private liquor store. Great selection of local craft beers, including 'one offs' not available in the NSLC.
Great selection of craft beer and locally-sourced wines and spirits
Wonderful selection of Nova Scotia scotch whiskey, single malts. Great selection of wines. It's spacious and well lit aisles are great for shopping with comfort.
Love this store. The staff is most knowledgeable....if you are seeking great wines that you cannot find at the NSLC and some unusual spirits like Penderyn single malt whisky.. This is the place!
Staff were very friendly. I like how staff members had their picks noted. Always like recommendations. And, they have my favourite Sauvignon Blanc- The Horologist from New Zealand.
Great people. Great selection
great local NS selection. they had all their IPAs kept cool in fridges, which many specialty beer stores seem to still overlook.
The staff are very knowledgeable! They were able to recommend wonderful wines for us to try based on those we had purchased and enjoyed in the past. They have an eclectic selection of quality wines, beers, ciders and spirits. There have something there for almost any taste buds.
Always a good time; lots of new stock, a great selection of craft beer, wines and cool spirits, a growler bar, and a truly helpful and friendly staff.
Great selection of wines and local beers, friendly helpful staff!
Simply put... awesome!
I would like to see for online purchasing the total price taxes and bottle refund included is this possible?
Good collection of wines and other liquor. It has a range of wines from low end to high end.
Always have a great selection
Love this place. The staff are great and they offer a great variety
My first visit to Westside was late on a Sunday. Having missed the nslc I was thrilled that the new store in my neighbourhood was open. It’s beautiful inside. There is a large selection of local spirits, beer and wine. The knowledgeable staff is cheerful and helpful. They suggested a local rum that has since become my favourite. Hours of operation got me in the door, the staff and quality products keep me coming back. If u think u have a favourite of drink, the unique flavours of these local brands may have u reconsidering. Be a prideful maritimer! Definitely check it out!
Always open when the nslc is closed.
Best liquor store on lacewood drive!
They collude on the sanctioning of sales to those who have no masks! Unacceptable behavior, and I suggest we sanction it too - avoid buying anything ever again, even if I have to stay without a beer late Sunday night!
Great selection of beer and wine. I go there for the imported Belgian beer they have in stock.
I always get a great wine recommendation. I'm asked what I'm planning for my meal, what my price point is, and frequently get a small sample to see if it's to my taste. No one pushes the most expensive product, but do give you a range of what might be suited to you. Never thought I'd like Chardonnay. Turns out, just drinking the wrong ones. Kempton, the somamlier is wonderful, and he's trained his staff to be equally knowledgeable.
Thank you guys. You have saved us many times when we weren't ready for a day off :)
Open on sunday nights good selection of wine spirits and craft beer
Great store, lots of local beer to choose from. They also have a "choose your own beer" fill station with 5 or 6 choices on tap.
Great place. Friendly staff! Amazing selection!
Great craft beer selection and labelling!
Regular sales all the time , Friendly staff, Independent. Gotta like it.
Open late make a date!!
Great selection of some premium products, very knowledgeable staff that are always willing to help find the right pairing for a meal or give suggestions on something new.
A bit more expensive than NSLC
Little bit pricey, but good choices nonetheless
So happy to have a place just a block from my house where I can get excellent wine and craft beer. The staff is awesome and knowledgeable, and you can take a minute to sample some beers before filling a growler of some great Nova Scotia craft brew.
Non of your normal brands available hear...they only available in Govt Stores..
Great little boutique with impressive selection for it's size.Somewhat limited to the higher end choices.Better hours than NSLC.
Huge selection to choose from compared to NSLC. Helpful staff. Nice location. Very excited to have this place in the neighborhood.
Nice layout, helpful staff, fun selections. Growlers.
Its beer wine and spirts. Nice people. Helpful
Too many selections...
Great wine selection and one of the few places you can buy a 2-4 of Toller beer.
Good service and selection.
The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Someone always offers to assist. We have found many products here that we return for that are not at the NSLC.
Good selection of craft beer and wine. Lots of local stock, better than NSLC
Great selection of Beer and Wine, lots of local craft brews and some that are from out of market. It's always a fun place to go see what is new.
Accessible and friendly staff. Want a beer and wine but you need to do your grocery? Westside is the convenient place to visit simply because they have different variety of liquor and they are just beside sobeys. How convenient,right?
They are so excited to recommend you wine. SO EXCITED! They give me phenomenal wine suggestions every time, they have an amazing selection of single tall cans. Quickly becoming my favorite liquor store :)
Awsome little place. Try the trailer park boys beer ????
Staff were friendly and there were a great selection of goodies... love my beer and normally buy toller gold...I got in here not looking to buy alot or spend much and boom there they are an 8 PAC of toller ???? haven't seen them befor so I …
Very poor service tonight from a young man dressed in plaid at the cash. I agree with other posters that the staff are fairly rude and condescending. Not sure what the attitude is about. Try teaching your staff some customer service skills so they can do more than grunt when they serve you. Will not be back.
Always a great place, especially when they are doing a wine tasting. Or brandy tasting. Or a beer tasting.
Great place for new wines! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff to help you pick a good bottle of wine!
Great selection, helpful staff. Often, you can get Breton Brewing's Stormchaser here as well as other Stouts.
Great selection of just about anything you would want
Lots of selection of local craft beers and ciders. Also has a large selection of wines and spirits. We recently purchased a growler from here and have had it filled up twice. It is cool to be able to try whatever is on tap, which is usually local beers.
Best addition to Clayton Park in years
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great selection.
Great staff and selection
If you're a fan of craft beer, go here. It's the closest store to wine and beyond that nova Scotia has to offer.
Great spot for craft beer and not your usual liquors you would find at the NSLC. Sometimes they dont have enough staff to help you, but when the help comes they are great.
Solid selection of local and unique beer, cider and wine
Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Inside the store is a nice setup, not too crowded. They have lots of products not available at the NSLC.
One of my absolute favorite places to shop! An incredible and diverse selection of alcoholic beverages to suit anyone's taste. I highly recommend.
Cool store with very helpful staff.
Small but an awesome place to visit, open till 10!!
Awesome unique selection
Great service! Love the selection of craft beer and red wines
Great place love that it's open till 10 on Sundays
Great store, unique product selection and excellent customer service :)
Open 7 days a week Great selection
Very Helpful, Knowledgeable staff
Great staff very helpful Hugh selection of Nova Scotia product Easy parking
I always come here over NSLC. Better service and better hours.
I just love the selection at this store. So many cool things that our NSLC does not have
The wine store that saved Friday! Very grateful to have been gifted a corkscrew after mine decided to disappear! Now to try this South African red...
Helpful staff. Great atmosphere.
Friendly staff, great selection!
Great craft beer and ciders on tap for growlers and good selections of bottles that will have something for everyone.
Amazing selection & staff.
great selection of wines and ciders
These people know their stuff , great selection ????????????
Clean, not as busy as nslc which was nice
Great staff and unique (in a good way) selection.
Huge selection and awesome staff. Go-To place for gifts, parties etc and for myself too!!!
Great selections, faster than nscl
The best selection of hard to find beer in Halifax. If you are looking for good Belgian beer this is the place to come to get it. They have abbey beers plus strong beers like Delirium, and even sell the great Unibroue beers by 6 pack. The Growler bar is great to try something new, and to get an excellent price on local brews. Their wine selection is fantastic as well, but their scotch choices are mediocre at best.
Love the ever changing selection of local handcrafted beers on tap for bottling.
Large collection of sprits of course. Friendly staffs and peaceful atmosphere.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A bit pricey.
Excellent choice of local brews!
Great selection of craft beers, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Rotating taps to have growlers filled, always something new to try.
Best place for locally produced spirits and beers
Lots of selection, friendly staff, limited people in store during COVID lockdown (and curbside pickup).
It's OK.
like how they allow my dog in the store
A wide selection of local and international beer, wine, and spirits coupled with a large, rotating growler selection and very friendly staff. Always finding something new to try and found more than a few new (to me, anyways) locally produced products.
A wonderful selection of wines, beers and ciders.
For some reason I had never been here despite shopping frequently at the Sobeys next door. As today is a holiday, I panicked knowing I will be having company. The staff were very friendly and helpful and introduced me to many brands that I had not seen or tried before. Needless to say, I left with more than I anticipated.
Knowledgeable staff wide selection of product open Late Sunday
Great selection and friendly, helpful staff
What a great place to have, especially when you need to get a bottle of wine or spirits and the NSLC store you went to locked their door in front of you 5 minutes before they close on the day before a holiday. Great store, very nice staff, and a nice collection of local and premium spirits
Great store with lots of selection. Super service.
Excellent service and selection
Best beer, wine and spirits store around.
Variety of beer wine and other alcoholic beverages in a comfortable environment with attentive and helpful personnel.
Awesome selection of craft drinks and local alcohol. Highly recommend the online ordering system, which provides fast delivery within the HRM
Great staff, always friendly and helpful! Good selection as well
I really enjoy their selection of alcohol. They specifically go for a wider selection of alcohol that is not offered at the NSLC. Staff is always super pleasant and helpful. They have a no bag policy. You must put backpacks and shopping bags to the front.
Awesome! Friendly helpful staff. Great selection at various price points.
Say have no bags on door. Older people prefer a bag for alcoholic products.
Great location. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their hours of operation are convenient.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great products and even better hours
Great selection of beer from local and international brewers.
Great staff!!!
It's okay if your looking for something fancy. Wine and spirits only seem to come in Quart size.
Wide variety of beers, wines and spirits. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to find what you want.
Nice place. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean & organized. Lots of selection.
Good selection of products and excellent service
