Calgary Co-Op Wines Spirits Beer

Went in to purchase a liquor license for a private, non-sales event. Wasn't able to, because no manager was on site. No big deal. But an employee there proceeds to tell me that I need direct ALGC approval for my event that will take two weeks (wrong, it's a $10-12 in-store purchase), that the city-run venue I had rented would not be eligible (wrong, they've done it in the past with a far larger group than mine), that the city staff don't know the rules about liquor (wrong, they sent me the appropriate documentation), and that if I buy my license from Co-op, I have to buy all of my alcohol for the event from them (wrong, the Retail Liquor Store handbook clearly states 8.1.11 A Special Event licensee may purchase liquor from any authorized Class D licensee (not just the vendor from whom they bought the licence).) I left, and I will get my license (and make my purchases) elsewhere. That being said, I will be back - they have the best beer selection in the neighbourhood, at decent prices.

TL;DR - don't trust them for information about liquor licenses, but they do have a pretty good selection of beer.

Excellent selection and variety!!

Great selection, service and sales!

Clean, great layout, vast amount of choices and not crazy expensive.

Coop wines and spirits has a wide range of wines, spirits and Beers. They also have a tasting room in house that you can book for events.

Great liquor store. They carry many hard to find liqueurs.
