OH YEAH! This place exists!
I know it has been there for a while, I have walked past the sign hundreds of times, but never went there until I needed a nice bottle of scotch, someone said 'Go to The Cellar.' I thought to myself 'Self, you should go The Cellar'. I know really inventive thought.
This place is just simply cool to walk into. I feel cooler for even having walked into The Cellar. It kind of feels like it could be illegal, it's not at all, but it's underground and swanky. And the staff is very informative, they are useful and willing to help out.
The Cellar has tons of selection! The wine goes on for ages and ages, what don't they have. The Scotch selection was excellent, brands and types that most, whatever liquor stores, don't ever have on hand. And the beer, I wasn't there for beer but I had to look, they have some great rare beers from all over the place, some of my favourites from Quebec and lots of imports from Europe.
Go there, you will find something and love it! -

So many wines, not enough time!
Love stopping by here to check out the wines and feel like I'm in an old cellar of a winery. I'm not overly knowledgeable about wine (yet), but there are always friendly staff around ready to answer any questions you have. They're not overbearing either, allowing you to browse and daydream about the expensive wines you want to try. They also have quite the selection from around the world, ice wines, and champagne for your fancy self. Check it out if you're looking for a present for that special someone or just a treat for yourself after a long week at work. -

I love it here. Everyone I have asked about this joint has never been here. Even home-grown Calgarians! What a shame! I know, parking can be a "B" but downtown is downtown. If you happen to be down there anyways, come to this clean, dark, sinful, bootleggin' feelin', underground wine/liquor oasis and buy yourself a treat. Or 2.Or 5. As much as you can carry.
The staff is always ready to help and I have enjoyed chatting with them all as wine is my thing. As soon as you walk in, staff will be more than eager to serve you! You may not find the exact bottle of wine or beer that you are looking for but I assure you, you will leave happy! -

I love visiting the Cellar to grab wine because it is located in: bum bum bum... A cellar! To be clear, the cellar is that of the old Alberta Hotel, and this brings a very historic and slightly European atmosphere to the shop. It makes your visit into an experience. The other major benefit is that they play up the wine cellar connection - indeed the storage conditions are very good for the serious bottles of wine that they keep here.
I am not an Oil Baron or associate, so I lack the resources to know about the best of the best that they keep here. But they have some pretty fine wines in my ten to fifteen dollar range, and are without snobbery in helping a girl find a good (cheap) wine. I love a good wine, although I am pretty far from being an expert so it is really nice to be able to refer to the ratings they have for the wines. Any questions you might have are answered by the helpful staff, and they know their stuff!
So whether you are a wine newbie or a seasoned connoisseur, the Cellar is a wonderful wine gem conveniently located in downtown Calgary. When I have time I always try to make the trip pre-dinner party.
