Prices are not the cheapest, but in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown Arlington Heights. Service is friendly, and fairly quick even when they get a rush of visitors during beautiful summer afternoons. For those looking for something different like trivia or board games, they do have special nights here and Meetup Groups that hold special events here from time to time.

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

We stopped here after Brunch at Honey Jam Cafe Located next door earlier this week…read more The woman who was there, I'm guessing she was the owner and was exceptionally nice to us. We couldn't decide on a beer to purchase which I usually leave to my son and his friends as they are the beer experts. There was quite a selection and the owner was quite helpful with choosing one. 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!

You should know the difference between a real and fake ID if you are going to work at a liquor place. He was discriminating her in a way just because she is short.
