We were warmly welcomed when we walked in and asked if we needed helped finding anything. The store was spotless and everything was neatly organized. We were peaking around at first and stumbled upon Bells Light Hearted Ale. It's a low cal IPA, light, only a little hoppy and a beer you can drink all day. We really like this one! I was also searching for a specific chocolate stout and could not find it anywhere. It comes in a pint and I asked one if the associates to help. His name was Kevin and it was actually his first day! He searched all the isles for it and event went out of his way to look in the back stock and on the computer in their inventory. They were out of it but he asked for my contact info to let me know when it was back in stock. Completely over exceeded my request. The prices here were fair and again, the selections were more unique than a typical liquor store. Cool spot!

There is no judging that you are only spending $8 a bottle or if you are spending $200 on a perfect gift bottle. It is always welcoming, gracious and kind. The wine choices are outstanding.

The rating hasn't changed, but I must report on their annual Wine Thing event, which was this past…read moreSunday. It's a fantastic event, and pretty popular. It works like this: They have about 100 wines set up to taste in a semi-circle around the store. A woman at the door checked our IDs, took our $5, and gave us a list of wines at each station. Everything being tasted was on sale for the day -- a minimum of 5% off with bigger discounts for larger quantities, up to 24% off. And then we were handed our "Wine Thing" wine glass (not to keep, alas) and a small bag of pretzels and headed in. This is not a huge store, so it was pretty crowded. But the people pouring the wines were as friendly and helpful as they could be, given the circumstances. And everyone was nice enough about letting people by, lubed up with good wine. Still, we had to emerge from the crowd every so often to get a little fresh air. But besides simply having more space for this event -- or maybe doing timed tickets or something? -- it's a GREAT way to taste a ton of wines from knowledgeable people and find a new favorite or two. :)

I have been going to this Binny's for years! This is, hands down, the best liquor store and best…read moreBinny's in the chain. I've been to many other Binny's all around Chicago, and this location has the most knowledgeable and friendliest staff. When going in for wine, I talk to Steve, the Wine Manager. You tell him the type of wine you're looking for and your price range and he will always come up with a great tasting bottle. Plus, he tends to give a little background on the wine which is very interesting. Tequila, I've talked to a couple people but the one that stuck out to me was Rob Z. (I think that was his name). I told him the ones I've tried and what I like and he pointed me to 3 bottles. I went with his top choice and it truly was an amazing bottle of tequila! They have the biggest selection of craft beer, fine wine and high end tequila I have ever seen all across the country! No matter who you talk to, it seems everyone is very helpful! I now live in Itasca, but I will gladly travel the extra distance for the customer service.

The guys who work there are really nice and always seem happy to see me. For being just the neighborhood liquor store and not something like a Binny's Warehouse, they have a pretty good selection and fairly competitive prices. I'm always happy when I leave there, and of the probably 20 times I've been in there, I think every single time I've been greeted with a smile. That goes a long way with me, and it makes me happy to come back. Because of the friendly service and the convenience, we're happy to support this neighborhood store.

I'd like to see them carry the Eugene Porter (Revolution), unless I missed it?

It's…read moredefinitely not a huge "chain" store and they are more than happy to order anything that you would want. I love the fact that you can mix/match to create your own six pack so that you can try various types, it's perfect for the old man and I because we are almost complete opposites when it comes to beer. Their prices are on target with the area. It's also a huge plus that they are literally a block away from our condo. The staff is always very friendly and can definitely steer you in the right direction if you give them a general flavor profile that you're looking for. They also have tastings at various times (Fridays & Sunday) and support other local businesses. I think it's fantastic that they carry Flesk (a Lombard brewery!) and usually have a nice-and regular- selection of 3 Floyds. So if you're in the downtown area it's definitely a good place to check out.

So attentive, constantly checking in without being overbearing, and giving tons of great drink suggestions. You can tell they actually know their stuff. They have such a huge selection -- so many beers, seltzers, and different drinks to choose from. If you're not sure what to get, they're happy to let you sample and help you find something you'll love. That alone makes the experience feel elevated. I also love that they have board games available, and it's just that kind of place where you can hang out for hours. We even brought our own board games, ordered pizza, and had the best night ever! It's the perfect spot for a laid-back night -- no pressure, no crazy crowds, just good drinks and great company. After going, it totally makes sense why their reviews are so strong. I would 100% go back.
