I've gone back several times and it has been good experiences.

Terrible Customer Service - Avoid This place…read more I've never felt so unwelcome in a store before. All I did was open the fridge **twice** because I wasn't sure what I wanted, and the staff acted like I committed a crime. One of the employees got visibly annoyed and made a snarky comment about me letting the "cold air out." Seriously? If you're that worried about your beer getting slightly less cold for **two seconds**, maybe you shouldn't be running a liquor store where customers need to **see their options** before buying. The attitude was horrible--no patience, no understanding, just pure rudeness. There are plenty of other places that actually appreciate their customers and don't treat them like an inconvenience for daring to browse. Save yourself the hassle and take your business elsewhere. **Zero stars if I could.**

Thanks to all the stars here, I thought I'd check out Foremost, since it's right off the Brown…read moreLine, 2 stops from home. Lesson learned... Maybe Foremost is a great place for craft beer, but I was looking for a decent, inexpensive domestic red. What I found were wines I can find elsewhere, but at jacked-up prices. I finally bit the bullet, grabbed a longtime fave bargain zinfandel, marked up to $11.99. Now, I don't expect to pay Binny's prices at neighborhood stores, but that's $2 or $3 more than the same bottle runs at my old corner liquor store, Windy City Liquors. In short, if you're desperate for a BYOB bottle, plan ahead or be prepared to pay the premium.

I am…read morepathologically unable to show up to anyone's house empty handed, 'cos my mama raised me right. This IS an old skool liquor store, and I expected to walk into a decrepit, crumbling place jammed full of cheap beer and those high-alcohol wine cooler thingies, whatever those are, I don't even know. And bunches of Swisher Sweets on the counter next to the Slim Jims. Well, throw your stereotypes out the window, E! This is a clean, bright, fresh-smelling establishment. Cute guy behind the counter bobbing away to "Bust A Move". There might have been Swisher Sweets and Slim Jims, but I didn't see any. What I did come for is beer, 'cos that's what my budget is now. What a selection! And the prices were great! I got a six pack of Hooegarden Belgian White Ale for $8.99, which I thought was a pretty good price. A lot of specialized beer is lost on me, but someone who is an aficionado of that stuff would find a lot to love here. Seemed to be a lot of local microbrews and foreign stuff. Always a fan of foreign stuff. Beer and the usual array of other adult beverages. Nice, clean, well organized booze purveyors!

Also other junk food items, but there ain't a huge selection; just mostly chips! I've also bought frozen foods from here, but it's a little pricey! Of course this place is stacked with wine, beer, nicotine, and all that other nice stuff to help people forget about life stressor's, but not my thing. I rarely visit, unless i park in the area and just so happen to be craving ice cream. This is one of our neighborhood liquor stores that sits right outside of CTA Thorndale; also not to far of a walk from Broadway St.

I cannot recommend Parkwest Liquor enough--truly the BEST customer service in Lincoln Park,…read moreChicago! I'm based in Florida and needed to arrange delivery of a very specific bottle (Blanton's) for a client. After calling at least five different places with no success, I finally reached Parkwest Liquor--and everything changed. Kushal Patel went above and beyond to help me. Not only did he make the process smooth and stress-free, but he also ensured the bottle was properly handled and delivered without any issues. That level of attention, care, and accountability is incredibly rare. Experiences like this restore your faith in people--there are still professionals out there who genuinely care and deliver exceptional, reliable service. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Kushal for outstanding customer service. Highly, highly recommend!

I had to pick up a last minute item at Galleria for a party. I found my item and was shocked at the final price. I started doing the math in my head. The price charged was well above the addition of sales tax (10.25%) + cook county liquor tax ( rounding up 5%) and a credit card surcharge ($0.89). I asked the old white man with gray hair and beard why the final total was so high and he said that it was because Chicago sales tax is 12.5%!!! WHAT??? That was a bold face lie!!! I returned the next day to complain to the manager and he said "why do you give a F**k about a couple of dollars"!!! The audacity!!! They are padding their pockets by baiting and switching prices at the register.
