Beertown is a (overpriced) restaurant that just has a large beer selection.

The Beer Store is the Ontario place. It also sucks and shouldn't even be legal. It's a privately-owned Oligopoly, and your only other choice is the government-owned LCBO, which doesn't sell 24s.

The good thing at least is that The Beer Store has finally gone back to warehouse-style stores instead of standing at a counter and ordering your beer from a back room. You always feel like an idiot standing in front of the sign not knowing what you want.
