Private liquor store on Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam carrying beer, wine and spirits for weeknights and gatherings.
A good bottle shop saves its regulars a trip across town, and Select Liquor Store fills that role at 1760 Kingsway Avenue in Port Coquitlam. As a private liquor store, it stocks the everyday range of beer, wine, and spirits that most households reach for, along with the extras that make the shelves worth browsing: a rotating craft selection, seasonal releases, and the odd bottle worth asking about.
Private stores in British Columbia operate alongside the government run system, and their strength is usually service and selection rather than warehouse scale. A shop of this size tends to know its customers, ordering stock that reflects the neighborhood's taste and keeping a few reliable picks on hand for gifts. Staff recommendations are part of the deal, and a short conversation at the counter can save a customer from a disappointing bottle. That local focus is what separates a bottle shop from a shelf.
The Kingsway Avenue location keeps the store convenient for the surrounding blocks, and a bottle shop earns its place by being there on the day it is needed: the Friday before a long weekend, the afternoon a barbecue grows by four guests, the evening a dinner invitation arrives late. Cold stock matters on those days, and most local shops keep their popular beers and whites chilled for exactly that reason. A store that stays useful in those moments becomes part of the neighborhood's rhythm.
No phone number or website is shown, so customers may want to visit and ask about what is in stock, whether special orders are possible, and the store's current hours. As elsewhere in the province, age checks at the counter are standard, so identification is required for anyone who looks young. For residents nearby, the shortest route to a good bottle is usually the one down Kingsway.
