Our history

Serving Saanich since 1986

The Monkey Tree Cold Beer and Wine Store was the first of its kind in British Columbia, opened by hospitality icon Gordon Card in 1986. It's been a local beacon ever since, and the store has started a new exciting chapter under Glenn Barlow of Cook St. Liquor and 30+ years of wine & liquor industry experience. Borden St. Liquor will bring an elevated wine, beer and spirits selection to the neighbourhood.

Independently owned and operated

As an independent, our job is to curate the selection. We can bring you edgy, new products, one-time buys, as well as the standard craft and vintage greats. We want to explore your tastes, find out what you like—we’re here to share our passion and knowledge. It’s important that we can communicate this in-store or online with great tasting notes.” 

Glenn Barlow
Owner

“At Borden St. Liquor we’re injecting youth to Victoria's (and BC’s) oldest private liquor store. We'll be bringing the newest in wine, beer and cooler to the neighbourhood. Join us for this exciting new chapter!"
