If you're torn between what you want and things you want to try, you're able to make your own six pack out of any beer in the store. This includes any beer on any shelf! You only need to take it off the wall and add it to your pack. This is definitely my go to craft beer shop in Chicago. I would like them to implement is some kind of rewards programs for their loyal and returning customers. I wonder if it would be dreaming too much to see them open up a small bar allowing for drafts of a select few beers. A man can dream Cheers

Started off with a west coast ipa that was excellent. Chased that with a Pilsner that was okay, followed by a cask red ale that was delicious. Tried a taste of the Scratch paw paw and hated it. Glad it was only a taste. Ordered a Caesar salad and a pepperoni & sausage pizza. The salad was outstanding. Big enough for a family of 4 and had a nice assortment of anchovies on top, which sucked balls, but a great salad nonetheless. The pizza is a Detroit style. Well put together with a great red sauce and plenty of cheese, but the sausage, though plentiful, had a twang to it. Service was super friendly and reasonably fast. Glad we gave it a try.

Their beer selection is massive with a big emphasis on the local Chicago and Midwest beers.

Such cool finds here. Great place to grab bombers and a must visit for any craft beer fan.

They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that! Overall love the product offering and the knowledgeable staff, so will be picking up wine from here from now on.

The music playing was obnoxious, like someone vomiting into a trumpet. I guess World Wide Liquor and Food doesn't want its customers to stay for long! The selection of beer was decent, but didn't have anything to set it apart. The guy behind the counter mumbled horribly. I still have no idea what he said, but it ended with "ID," so I showed him my license. He seemed appeased. I never want to go back to World Wide, as a 3-minute visit made my hair smell for the rest of the day. However, I do give one extra star because they had Game of Thrones beer when 3 other stores didn't... PROBABLY because nobody wanted to set foot into the place!

If you are open to trying some unusual liquors or wines, its worth a stop. When I stopped by during Xmas on the Square, I tasted some whiskey from Alabama, and bought a couple of bottles.

They also had a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape from Avril for a mere $26. Cigars are for sale, as well, but I did not investigate closely on my first visit. If you are in the neighborhood, stop in and show them some love.

I flashed back to college days of long drives to 'wet' counties, shifty looks, side-eyes from the clerks, and brown paper bags filled with Boones Farm and/or Cisco. But, when in Rome and without wine for a party, ya do what ya have to do. Plus, I should have realized that I was in North Center not... non-North Center. There's a reason why folks want to live in this neighborhood -- stuff's nice! At first glance, the spot is your requisite licka sto' -- complete with a selection of brightly colored, HFCS juices. Daddy like. But, after some digging into the wine selection... what's this? First, a selection. As in, choices. Real choices. In classy-looking bottles. Secondly, the wine selection is BROKEN INTO COUNTRIES! You heard me right: this small, neighborhood liquor store has a wine section that's broken into regions. Maybe it was the shock from my lowered expectations, but I was really impressed. I was not at all expecting to make this kind of find. To further sweeten the pot, the wine was priced at licka sto' prices. So, I was able to buy a fairly decent tempranillo that left a nice wad of green in my wallet. Who knew? Even the licka sto's in North Center are nice! Movin' on uuuppp....
