PT BC Liquor at 1120 Alberni Street (Corner of Thurlow and Alberni) for your beer and soda The soda and water cheapest at 'London Drugs' corner of West Georgia and Granville.:) Costco ( If you have a membership USA or Canada) 605, Expo Boulevard for water.

Putterdude Posted February 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The closest liquor store to Canada Place is actually the BC Liquor store in Harbour Centre, about 3 blocks east of Canada Place on Cordova St. The one at Thurlow and Alberni is further away but has the advantage of being open on Sundays which the other one doesn't. London Drugs would be my choice for bottled water and soda but it is about a 7 block walk to Canada Place. By the way beer and alcoholic products are very expensive in Canada and BC like 12 beer will be in the range of $20....its a sin tax that kills us.:mad: So purchase just enough to last you until your first stop in Alaska would be my advice.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco would be a schlep - and keep in mind that Costco does not sell booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
