This was a spontaneous stop. I was trying to go into the souvenir shop next door but when I…read moreapproached it, a sign said to enter through Uncork It. So obviously I did. Of course I got distracted and browsed the store. There was souvenirs in this store as well, which I was not expecting. I wound up picking up winter gloves because I forgot mine at home. I then discovered a clearance cart that had a variety of boozes in there. I was super excited to find Malort! I found a unique cocktail recipe years ago that had Malort in it but was never able to find it in FL. Little did I know, it is very well known in Chicago! Obviously I purchased a little 6 pack. I browsed the aisles somewhat but did not find anything that caught my eye. I also did not want to purchase a bunch of bottles to walk with a couple of blocks. As I was waiting for the person in front of me to finish, the employee asked the customer to please step ahead so I could put my items down. He was already done and taking his time doing something else so I felt that was thoughtful of him to do for me. They were very polite and quick. The process seemed reasonable for the most part but the souvenirs were overpriced. The store was clean and tidy as well.

Excellent decor respected the history of the place.. what a delight to look at those old floors and walls and ceilings, like a step back in time. You can buy wines and other beverages, cheeses and chorizo to GO. I will be back.

We were in a bourbon club when we lived in Charlotte and I heard so much about Binny's but this was…read moremy first time going to one. This downtown location is likely one of their smaller stores, but it still had a great selection. We were here about 4 PM on a Tuesday and there was hardly any customers. Their bourbon prices were $5-10 lower than NC ABC prices. They also have wine, soda, mixers, snacks, and cigars. If you're in the area, definitely check them out.

Bai jiu! This Chinese liquor store specializes in Chinese…read moreliquors- derp! This place has Baijiu, a potent Chinese alcohol that I've heard tastes fairly bad, but is one of the world's most popular liquors by the numbers. Even though most people haven't heard of it, it gets drank in huge quantities. I came in here from Texas, where I have searched high and low for this liquor. It can't be found there. I couldn't anyhow. In here, they had a selection of maybe 30 different kinds of baijiu in different price points. I admitted to the clerk that I had no idea what I was doing, but wanted something good for beginners. He came around and gave me a bottle of the cheaper end stuff that's 52% alcohol. Score. I haven't tried it yet. I saw that he also had a wide selection of Chinese wines and a bit of beer. I've heard that most of the restaurants in this Chinese plaza are BYOB, so this is a good place if you wanna add to the authenticity of the beverages of the restaurants you're dining in, this place is clutch. I can't wait to try this baijiu.

I stopped into this liquor store a couple weeks ago while visiting Chicago. It was my very first…read moreday in the city. I only went inside to escape the light rain, but I ended up having the nicest experience with the two owners, a sweet older couple. They immediately made me feel welcome, chatting with me, giving me suggestions on places to check out in the city, and just radiating kindness. By the time I was ready to leave, it was pouring outside. They offered me a plastic bag to protect my things and encouraged me to stay until the rain slowed down. It was such a small gesture, but it really left an impression. While I was there I also noticed how warmly they greeted every customer who came in, and people were genuinely happy to stop by. This was such a memorable and heartwarming first impression of Chicago. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this shop to say hello to the wonderful owners. They truly make their customers feel cared for.

The staff greets you the moment you walk in and asks if you need help or what you're looking for or if you've been there before, but they're happy to back off and let you browse if you're just looking. That said, they're incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when you do have questions, and they seem to know their products inside and out. One of the best parts is that you can sample literally anything in the store- just ask! The cranberry earl grey mixer ($12.99) we picked up on our last visit was the highlight of our Christmas Eve drinks this year. It has a hard hit of cranberry tartness with a light floral note to even it out. Located on one of the top floors of the mall, this shop is filled with artisan liqueurs in unique flavors like melon, mango, and key lime. It's a little bit on the expensive side but it's a great spot to check out if you're looking for a unique gift or something to make your dinner or holiday meal pop.
