    If Wine was Candy, I could say that Binny's Beverage Depot made me feel like a "Kid In a Candy Store"!!! Overwhelming feeling as I walked in to see rows and rows of wines perfectly marked by region and varietal, and plenty of stock and GREAT prices. I have been here once before, years ago, as I do not really live in the Chicagoland area, but never hesitate to come in Binny's as my first choice to buy wine. Why? Why, because you can find almost ANYTHING you are looking for, it is so well organized row by row and PLENTY of stock of the individual choices that I have needed so far. I do not have a count as to how many wines they carry, but it would definitely be an interesting number. This is like walking into a large retail warehouse of wines and liquor. I was getting ready to go to a dinner party with friends that do know wines so I wanted to make sure that I was able to get a little bit of everything. What better place than Binny's. Working my way to the Pinot Noir Isle, I went right to the Belle Glos, and low and behold the Clark and Telephone variety was stocked up, not ever seen in any wine store I've ever been to. Perfectly marked shelf tags with detail of the wine and WOW, a very competitive price. I found all he varietals easily and proceeded to purchase Ghost Block Cabernet, Plumjack Syrah, and Cru from Vineyard 29. My point being, if one knows wines, there are not many places that I could find all four of these in one store. I wanted to walk around to see more of what Binny's is all about and came to the conclusion that is I had UNLIMITED funds and time, I may have walked out with a truckload of what they carried. I was so impressed with their WINE CELLAR, which contained incredible varieties of amazing wines in Liters, 3 Liter and Magnum bottles, nicely displayed. Pretty much would persuade any wine collector to step up to the plate and buy these for their cellars. Top notch wines and what a collection. Beyond the wine? Another story in itself. They have an amazing variety of liquors and also a "Rare and Collectable Spirits" room for high end scotches, whiskey and Tequilas, just to mention a few. Back in their liquor section, I saw sizes of bottles I have never seen before and HUGE and attractive back wall displays of the most popular liquors, and again, at phenomenal prices. Again, nothing you can't find in the liquor department. What is Wine and Liquor without having the opportunity to purchase a great cigar. Binny's has as big a Humidor room as their Collectable Liquor and Wine rooms. In contrary to what I have read about their staff, we had a GREAT experience. One of the staff, by hearing what type of wines we liked, did recommend some of the same type wines at less expensive pricing which I thought was commendable. They were always there to ask questions and the checkout process was easy. PRICING at Binny's is the best part about the shopping experience here. There is no question that you are getting a great value because I looked at wines I have bought in the past and it doesn't get that much better or close to it. I am assuming that because of their size and the inventory they stock, they buy in great volume to achieve these price points. Back in South Florida where I live we have similar "warehouse" type retail operations, but I can confidently say, they don't hold a candle to Binny's Beverage Depot. Next trip, I am coming with my Steal, Insulated Wine Luggage and I am going to stock up and ship bring my wines from Binny's back with me on the plane's luggage compartment.

    Our family aren't big drinkers and I frequent Binny's mostly for wines and favorite Hogaarden beers. I5m a fan of Ausleysa and sweeter Berenausleysa. My son, much more a wine person than I am now, mentioned a Trackenberenausleysa (late harvest dessert), so I picked one up, asking a bunch of questions ($70), in anticipation of the holidays. When we opened the bottle Thanksgiving Eve (regular flop-armed corkscrew), the corn immediately cracked and slipped into a narrow bottle. We fused to save it, but was impossible. I felt like crap because I wanted it to be special for my son and his wife. I called Saturday (11.25.23) and was told if I hadn't purchased with a Binny's card, I was, 'out of luck on a refund (the Binny's sticker is on the bottle).' I've never received anything but the best customer service there, and had a couple disappointments returned over the years. I'm so pissed-of and disappointed. Careful about complaints at a once courteous, consumer-oriented brick & mortar.

    What a wonderful liquor store the store is. I recently went in here and I was with my friend who also wanted to buy some liquors. We were greeted by a bunch of selection of different liquors. This store is definitely the best liquor store that I could ever been. It is big and the whole place is definitely filled with liquors. It is clean and everything is well-organized. It is also well-stocked and some are full stocks and there are also some that are sold out or only a few stocks left. Every liquor that I could think in mind is literally available and everything has a various choice. They also have this rare and collectible spirits selection which is really nice. The prices on the other hand, are of course fair and reasonable. So, to the people who love liquors out there, I highly recommend you this store and everything you might wanted would literally be available in here. Me and my friend bought quite a lot and no worries at all because everything is in a good quality, we do not only buy local but also some foreign drink that we love to try because it is such a great deal. We will definitely be back!

This is a great spot if youre willing to make a quick drive just outside of the city. Old Chicago is just inside Lake county so depending on your brand...its pretty worth the trip. Im partial to Newports and I pay about half the price per pack (approx.$54/carton). They also have a 3 pack special. I always buy a carton so I could save on time and the hassle of the drive. Honestly..you think a carton is a bit much? Be realistic with yourself. I mean dont get me wrong..Im not a chimney and smoke like 3packs/day, but its always cost/time effective to buy in bulk. I am loyal to this place and make my trek once a month. They probably have whatever tobacco related product youre in the market for. Staff is laid back and easy going. Did I mention you could smoke in house? They even have leather couches and a big screen setup to hang out..though its usually in and out for me. I love when businesses post certain signs so I have to mention those at the registers: "Absolutely no service when you are on your cell phone." It might not be an exact quote but I cannot think of a better business motto to go by.

The staff is always knowledgeable and warm. They also carry, though not a great selection on flavors, Cube Zero disposable vape devices. Zero nicotine, all flavor and no coughing or addiction. My favorite is "Coffee." It's a close to true coffee (not an overly sweet, candy knock-off flavor) taste with a hint of mint that makes it a pleasure to nuture. I use the vape largely to relax and motivate some anxiety. The Cube device promises 3000 puffs, and one has lasted me several months (I'm not a huge user). Cube can be ordered on the web for anywhere from $17 to $21. But most of the web joints add on another $20 for shipping. The cube vape is rather small and doesn't require $20 for shipping it's a rip off. Do business with Vape 312. If you're local they charge about $20 for the cube zero pen and have about five interesting flavors. As of October 2022 they have coffee flavor on order. You'll enjoy doing business with these people. Have a nicotine-free day!

    This is the CubeZero vape. Great size, good looking and handy. When the juice runs out or the battery you simply toss it.
