Honest Ed's is a landmark discount store located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is named for its proprietor, Ed Mirvish, who opened the store in 1948 and oversaw its operations for almost sixty years
A cheesy, interesting store that has been around for many years. A Toronto landmark that will be turned into condos in 2016. Lots of stairs and different floors. Easy to get lost but fun to explore.
"New York has Macy's, London has Harrods, Chicago has Marshall Fields, and Toronto has Honest Ed's. It is quite an attraction - honest,"

This us a branch of the government run Liquor Store. You can only get spirits and wine from these government run outlets. They also have a good selection of beers.
Beer, Wine, Liquor. Not a huge store, but decent enough. If you're looking for the best selection, try Queen's Quay or Summerhill stores.
The closest spot for wine, spirits and a decent selection of craft, domestic and imported beer.
One of the city's best book shops
The staff give great suggestions

Our booze shopping is government regulated, but don't let that stop you from having a good time. The Beer Store is.. well, it's called the beer store for a reason.
Unlike the other parts of the world you can't buy booze at the grocery store so go here. Beer and plenty of it.
This is the closest regular beer store.
