Liquor Depot

About Liquor Depot

Skip the inflated prices at hotel minibars and stock your cabin here instead. Liquor Depot carries the full range of Alberta spirits, wines, and beers without the resort markup. This is where locals load up before heading into the backcountry or settling in for the evening.

The selection spans craft beers from across Western Canada, BC wines, and spirits you won't find at every corner store in town. They stock basics like Banff Avenue Brewing's own brews and premium options if you're looking to upgrade your après-ski routine. Their staff knows what works for different situations, whether you need something for a campfire or a dinner in your rental.

Get here before 10 PM on weekends, since the place closes earlier than you'd expect. Note that Alberta's liquor prices run higher than BC or other provinces, so if you're coming from the coast, the sticker shock is real. This spot works best if you're staying somewhere with a kitchen or planning a longer backcountry trip where you want decent options without carrying everything yourself.
