I remember trying a summery white wine I liked, and have since gotten a great juicy red bottle. While wine is their main thang, they also have a nice looking selection of gin, whiskey, bourbon and more. They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that! Overall love the product offering and the knowledgeable staff, so will be picking up wine from here from now on.

Firefly Liquors, or what used to be known as Hanks Party Store, is a small corner neighborhood…read moreliquor store. With no signs indicating the name of the place, you can't miss the fact they are a liquor with the many signs indicating their great sales. Small in size, but mighty in their choice of beer, wine and spirits Firefly is my go to place. Whenever I need some sort of refreshments, regardless of the time of night, Firefly is always open to quench my thirst. I have been going to Firefly for about 7 years now and John, the owner, his wife and daughter all treat me like family. I love having this great liquor store near my apartment. Check out Firefly for your party needs or grab a bottle of Pinot Grigio and head over to Il Monelli for some great authentic Italian.

If you're torn between what you want and things you want to try, you're able to make your own six pack out of any beer in the store. This includes any beer on any shelf! You only need to take it off the wall and add it to your pack. This is definitely my go to craft beer shop in Chicago. I would like them to implement is some kind of rewards programs for their loyal and returning customers. I wonder if it would be dreaming too much to see them open up a small bar allowing for drafts of a select few beers. A man can dream Cheers

A long overdue review. If you need sausages for any reason (BBQ, other event, random Tuesday),…read moreGene's is worth the trip. Also, the blueberry breakfast sausage is the stuff of my dreams (a visiting friend loved them so much she carried home 3lb frozen in her suitcase). Produce section is small and pricey, really only worthwhile if you're in a pinch. Incredible international goods selection upstairs. And of course in season, the rooftop patio is lovely. But don't forget the sausage.

We…read morereally liked the sausage platter #2 which included 3 different sausages, two big freshly baked rolls and a side of sauerkraut. Also ordered the German potato salad which was very unlike the German potato salad that I'm used to, it wasn't terrible but I wouldn't order that again. Old Irving brewery makes a delicious IPA for Gene's. If you have a group of beer drinkers with you, they offer pitchers of beer which is a better value than ordering individual beers. If you like sausages and beer and a festive rooftop atmosphere, you gotta go at least once a summer. The store downstairs is a little pricey on some items but reasonable on others. We bought a few things.
