Others could throw in extra services like picking up convenience store items such as cigarettes, snacks, and other things for a nominal fee. 

Some delivery services even offer the pickup of empty bottles at a minimal cost! However, this particular service often requires prior clearance from the driver.

1. The Beer Guy

SERVICESHome delivery for liquor, spirits, wine, and beer, same-day service
ADDRESSDelivers in Ontario
CONTACT NUMBER647-694-2244

WEBSITEhttps://www.thebeerguy.ca 
OPERATING HOURSMonday to Saturday 9.30 AM – 9.30 PM
Sundays 11.30 AM – 4.30 PM

The Beer Guy has been delivering booze in Ontario since 2011. It boasts of having delivered 23.8 million bottles in the region since, and with 30% more savings made compared to its competitors.

What we can verify is that it does same-day service for tens of thousands of products that cover local and imported brands as well as obscure ones. 

Also, The Beer Guy website helpfully categorizes its booze conveniently by the “cheapest”, “on-sale”, “top ten”, “newest”, staff picks, and by the type of beer, liquor, or wine.

There’s no fixed delivery rate because it will depend on the client’s location. The lowest delivery charge is $7 for places like Bealton, Bloomsburg, and Crescent Bay while those in Hamilton, Grimsby, and other farther places have to pay $10.62 for delivery.

And if you want to share the bubblies, you can opt for drinkable gifts for the special people in your life on any occasion. The downside is that the minimum gift certificate is $25 but we guess that should cover lots of special events.

Pros

  • Same-day service
  • Wide variety of beer and liquor
  • Helpful categorization of products
  • Open seven days a week

Cons

  • No fixed delivery rate
  • Gift certificates start at $25
  • No BBB accreditation

2. Dial a Bottle Ottawa

ADDRESSServes the Ottawa area
CONTACT NUMBER613-745-5594

WEBSITEhttps://www.dialabottleottawa.com/ 
OPERATING HOURSMondays (Beer store only) 10.30 AM – 5 PM
Tuesday to Saturday 9.30 AM – 9 PM
Sundays 10.30 AM – 4.45 PM

Established in 1983, Dial A Bottle is an alcohol delivery service in Ottawa that doesn’t require any minimum orders. It offers both Beer Store and LCBO deliveries, as well as corner store options.

The company promises to deliver orders within an hour. Customers can order from both The Beer Store and the LCBO but would have to pay a $2 surcharge for the second stop.

If you don’t feel like drinking booze and just want a pack of chips or a stick of gum, Dial A Bottle can accommodate your orders, too. There’s a $2 corner store surcharge applied on top of the delivery area rates, but we appreciate the convenience this service offers for those times we simply can’t step out.

However, we find that the way it structures its operating hours is a bit inconvenient. On Mondays, customers can only order from the Beer Store with the rest of the week open for LCBO and other deliveries.

Pros

  • No minimum orders
  • Open seven days a week
  • Can do corner store deliveries without alcohol orders
  • Allows combined deliveries (LCBO, Beer Store, corner store)

Cons

  • Only Beer Store deliveries every Monday
  • Additional $2 charge for corner store deliveries
  • No fixed delivery rate
  • No BBB accreditation

Customer Reviews

Great service

“Delivery people have always been great. Great service. The only comment would be paying on the machine at the door, which normally isn’t a problem, but in these times is a little riskier.

overall, love the service and will continue to use.” – Josee McOrmond

Fast, professional, kind

I highly recommend Dial a Bottle. They are always fast, professional, kind! Le service est incroyable! Thank you! Merci!” – LadyAnnie Baril

3. Brewski Booze

SERVICESBeer Store, spirits, wine delivery, LCBO delivery
ADDRESSDelivers within Ottawa
CONTACT NUMBER613-695-9107
WEBSITEhttp://brewskibooze.com/ 
OPERATING HOURSMondays 9.30 AM – 8 PM (Beer Store deliveries only)
Tuesday to Saturday 9.30 AM – 8 PM (Beer Store and LCBO deliveries)
Closed on Sundays and state holidays

Brewski Booze does both The Beer Store and LCBO deliveries with accommodations for convenience store items like cigarettes and snacks. However, it’s closed every Sunday and on state holidays which could be a bummer for those who want to drink on those days.

There’s a fixed delivery of $8 plus HST, with an added fee of $1.50 for corner store deliveries. You won’t even need to order alcohol if you need something from the corner store, either!

An added convenience in Brewski Booze’s menu of services is its Ontario bottle returns. The company can deduct the cost of the bottles from your final order fee, as well. 

Customers are only allowed to return a maximum of two dozen wine bottles or not more than 72 beer bottles. 

Don’t worry about being judged because Brewski Booze promises utmost discretion during deliveries and pickups (its drivers and staff use unmarked vehicles and don’t wear uniforms).

Pros

  • Fixed delivery (plus HST)
  • Accepts refund bottles
  • No alcohol orders required for corner store deliveries
  • Discreet deliveries and pickups

Cons

  • Only Beer Store deliveries every Monday
  • Extra delivery fee for convenience store items
  • Closed on Sundays and state holidays
  • No BBB accreditation

Customer Reviews

4. Home Delivery Canada

SERVICESSame-day delivery for beer, wine, spirits, liquor, LCBO
ADDRESSServes Ottawa and nearby areas
CONTACT NUMBER+1 855-446-6332
[email protected] 
WEBSITEhttps://www.homedeliverycanada.ca 
OPERATING HOURSMondays 10 AM – 6 PM
Tuesday to Friday 10 AM – 8 PM
Saturdays 9.30 AM – 8 PM
Sundays 12 noon – 5 PM 

Since 1987, Home Delivery Canada has been doing same-day delivery from The Beer Store and LCBO throughout Ontario. Customers can either call up the store or use the website for orders.

The delivery service charges by location so customers have to input their postal code on the website. Home Delivery Canada also offers $0.50 off if orders are placed online. 

However, it would be more enticing to use the website to choose products and order from if it updates its user experience, categorization, and general navigability. As it is, it lets customers take several unnecessary steps to pick out a beer or alcoholic beverage with all the scrolling and clicking involved.

And other than products from The Beer Store and LCBO, no other services or smaller brewery beer are offered. It’s too bad because the shop is open seven days a week and promises to deliver orders within an hour (with general feedback being that beer is always delivered cold!).

Pros

  • Open seven days a week
  • $0.50 off on online deliveries
  • Delivers throughout Ontario
  • Beer typically delivered cold

Cons

  • Deliveries limited to Beer Store and LCBO products only
  • Website information needs updating
  • No BBB accreditation

Customer Reviews

WEBSITEhttp://www.citybooze.com/ 
OPERATING HOURSMonday to Saturday 9.30 AM – 9.45 PM
Sundays 11.30 AM – 4.45 PM

You can order your favourite drinks at Citybooze Delivery several ways: via an online form, through its mobile phone call centre, and by simply calling up the shop. Its mobile ordering option can only accept cash payments, though.

And while it’s great that there’s a call centre for mobile orders, it still follows regular business hours so it can’t accommodate those who want to do some late-night or early-morning drinking.

There’s also a gift delivery service for anywhere in Ontario. Customers can order gifts online any time (even beyond operating hours) and they will be processed the following business day.

All that convenience it offers can’t beat an online catalogue, though, which Citybooze Delivery unfortunately doesn’t have. 

The drop-down menus for the alcohol type, category, and product name do help with the choices somewhat. But nothing is more enticing to a beer-drinker than the image of an ice-cold bottle of brewski right in front of their faces.

Pros

  • Open seven days a week
  • Several options for ordering
  • Gift delivery service throughout Ontario

Cons

  • Only cash payments accepted via mobile ordering
  • No convenience store service offered
  • No online catalogue or product images
  • No BBB accreditation

Customer Reviews

6. Night Off Delivery

SERVICESLiquor and Food Delivery Service
ADDRESS1984 Laurier St, Rockland, ON K4K 1T9, Canada
CONTACT NUMBER +1 613-406-4638
WEBSITEhttp://nightoffdelivery.ca/
OPERATING HOURSMonday to Thursday 11 AM – 9 PM
Friday & Saturday 11 AM – 10 PM
Sundays 4PM – 8 PM

If you’re looking for a delivery service that picks up booze together with your favorite food items, Night Off Delivery is for you. They specialize deliveries beyond just alcoholic beverages.

What we like about Night Off Deliver services is that it has partner restaurants in Rockland and its surrounding areas. They offer discounts to their partners, so if your favorite store is a listed affiliate, it’s worth your money to book their services. 

You can order a wide selection of alcohol though calling their phone. Night Off Delivery also has minute stops for additional purchases for convenient stores. 

Though we have to point out that their services open at 11 AM and close at 10PM. Therefore it’s not really an ideal delivery service if you want to have an early morning or a late night drinking session. 

In addition to this, the estimated delivery times are between 45-60 minutes, but some have complained to have waited longer. So if you’re someone who’s in a hurry, this service might not be for you. 

Pros

  • Offers minute stops for purchases from convenient stores
  • Rockland’s only fully licensed and insured alcohol and beer delivery company
  • Several options for ordering 
  • Partnered with local restaurants that typically do not deliver

Cons

  • Not BBB accredited
  • Grocery deliveries are only between 1 and 4 PM 
  • Delivers alcohol only when there are food orders
  • Texting and emailing not available when ordering alcohol

Customer Reviews

Love this service.

“Polite drivers, and they do their best to get what you are asking for.  If an item is not available  they let you know if you want something else.  Love this service

Will definitely use this service again. 

It is very hard to find delivery sources in Hammond whose prices are not through the roof. I used Night Off Delivery for the first time tonight and was so pleased. They were quicker than the estimated time of delivery and very polite. Will definitely use this service again.
