(Spoiler alert: I didn't win) I don't gamble regularly, but will purchase the occasional ticket or buy raffle tickets from non-profits I support. (Yes, that's gambling!) Anyhoo, the store was bright and clean, the snack selection by the door looked like it had something for everyone, and the Lottery machine was in fine working conditions. My knowledge of liquor is practically nil, but it looked like there was plenty of bottle colors, shapes, and sizes. ‍ This was a random stop, but I would stop in again for that occasional ticket!

Everything you've read about Foremost Liquors is true. I'm a single girl and always feel like…read morepeople think I'm an alkie going into a liquor store and buying some craft brews. I felt like at Foremost Liquors, I was welcomed with open arms. The guys up front saw me looking through the craft brews and launched into telling me all about some different breweries and making recommendations. I told them about a couple of beers I have been specifically hunting for & they gave me their opinions on them, plus told me about beers with similar tastes that they thought were better. Foremost Liquors carries a ton of Pipeworks 22 ozs which I loved going through. To see exactly what they are carrying at any given point, check out their list on BeerMenus. The store itself was very clean, organized well, plenty of parking right out front (so you don't have to carry the liqs all over creation!) and as I said the service was stellar. Top all that off with them carrying some hard to find, sought after craft beers plus their competitive pricing and it makes for a liquor store that is going to go into my regular rotation!

Not sure why I never reviewed this place and I've been here several times since moving to this town…read morefive years ago. What's great about this place? Is that during the winter? They are obviously open and have seating inside and then during summer they actually open a part of their exterior wall like a garage door and there's also barstool type seating there as well so you can enjoy the great weather and the sun while still drinking whatever you purchased from them. They have an incredible selection in the store and every single time I walk in here whoever is working is super friendly and super helpful. I will say when you walk in it's not really straightforward because you can buy things and take it home buy things and drink it there or they even have beers on tap as well at the big counter. Every time I come in here, there's always people as well no matter what the weather is and it's great to see.

Greetings! I am a…read morewriting fond farewell to the local legend that was Vintages Fine Wine. Jeanne and Robert's gem of a store was a fixture in downtown Arlington Heights for twenty-three years. Fantastic wines at great price points was the main attraction and the housewares selections were equally top notch. Beyond the fantastic products were the amazing cast of characters that crossed the threshold. Customers, vendors, and employees alike congregated within and created quite the social amalgamation. I count myself lucky to be both a customer and a former employee. The eight years I worked there flew by and I'll cherish the conversations, the laughs, and the great moments of life that we shared along the way. What a great run it had...we were all very lucky to have had the connection to such a local treasure. Cheers! tk

Next time I'm in the neighborhood I will definitely stop by again!

This liquor store is brand spic & span new so it's insanely neat, insanely clean and the workers are so nice! They were so eager to help me and show me some good deals. They carry a lot of good beers including Lagunitas, Dragon's Milk, Two Brothers, etc. plus all the watery swill you could want. I don't know much about hard liquors but they seemed to have a good selection of both that and wines. Mix & Match 6 packs for $10.99 and I put a couple of Lagunitas Sucks in my sixer. Seeing as they just opened, they are taking recommendations for things they should order. I asked them to get some 5 Rabbit in! So hopefully they will. It's the closest and most convenient liquor store to me now and with such friendly people, I'm sure I'll be there more than I should.

Jordan basically knows everything about alcohol and is your go-to guy no matter what you're looking for. Matt's the same deal over in the beer section, always happy to help you figure out what you need. Neither of them rushes you -- they take their time, treat you like family, and honestly make every visit kind of fun. This has turned into my only Binny's, and pretty much my only liquor store period at this point. Jordan and Matt are the reason, and they deserve the recognition!
