There are a few private liquor stores where their products need to be approved by the NSLC (usually stuff that the NSLC doesn't stock)

There are also a few rural liquor stores that are licensed by the NSLC that are in corner stores/gas stations.

But to go to Superstore to get beer, or the gas station down the street? Nope.
When I moved to Halifax, I couldn't believe government run liquor stores were the only option. Nothing worse than wanting a beer at 10 pm (or 6 on Sundays!) and not being able to buy it.
Also, the selection was terrible.
Molson, bud, Keith's, moosehead, sleemans, maybe big rock.
The states has it right. $15/24 at any gas station.
