Great customers & owners.”

“Honestly, Ι would love to run local advertisement for this corner shop. If you can't go far for some cheaper selections, this store will save you the trip round the Elgin area. The prices are worth the walk, and the New Amsterdam prices are magnificent for the drunkeness. Just make sure you get enough water before walking over here, because the other products are a bit jumped in price, but the alcohol makes up for it!”
“For the bourbon hunter in you this is a must stop at. Well unless you are looking for Blanton then come on a release date and be on time.
Some real hidden gems here.”
“Northwest Chicago SuBourbon Oasis! Ownership & staff are friendly, helpful, a solid selection, great offers & bundles, & always eager to entertain special orders. In the competitive sport of allocated bourbon/whiskey hunting… I never feel small or dismissible. Grateful for this store & proud to call it my local home!”
“Love this place. Come here every week. Just helped me out in a great way with a small issue. Good customer service is disappearing everywhere but this place is setting a great example. Just look at all the other great reviews. Cheers”
“Selection is great, prices are good. Only downside is in order to get the secret Buffalo Trace shipments you have to be some sort of Binny royalty. I’m changing my score due to actually getting some allocated BT.”
“Great prices, large selection, and the staff is so awesome! If they don't have something your looking for they make a huge effort to bring it in and have it available. Very clean and organized, they are very professional but at the same time when you walk in they make you feel like you been a loyal customer all your life.”
“Eddie Rivera cigar consultant Is fantastic. He always makes sure I have my cigars in stock. He always is a friendly smiling face. This is why I choose to go to the Schaumburg’s location over any other location. Thank you, Eddie!!”
“Just had a tasting yesterday and it was definitely more than worth the Groupon. She was so informative and charismatic.
Absolutely loved this place and will make a habit of visiting.”

“Jay is awesome, I found your store by accident after walking 1hr round trip to Jewell on N Vail everyday for weeks. I came into the shop and felt immediately welcomed and found his prices even more fair than a larger scale store as Jewell. Thank you Jay for being awesome and helpful!! Your plug!! ?”
“Best place around… they have great prices and they always have everything in stock… owner and the staff is very knowledgeable on the product and they make really great recommendations.”

“I love this place!! I live close by, so it's convenient, but the owner and others working there are so friendly and inviting that it feels like a second home!! They truly care about their customers and it shows!! I've even asked for special items, and he'll go out of his way to make it happen.... THAT'S GREAT SERVICE!!!! ? ? ? ? 10/10”
“I travel for work alot and I love a nice drink when I get off. This place was great! From entering to checkout the customer service was great! Thanks, and the selection of Tequila I was helped with and recommend was perfect.”
“These guys are fantastic and just very kind. I had a very forgetful moment, leaving my personal belongings (ID, credit cards, cash) at the store after making a purchase. I didn’t even notice until the next day this happened! I called them in a panic and they had everything saved for me, waiting for me to call! They also stopped someone from taking my belongings as well! I am forever grateful to them and helping me out. Please go give them your business!”
“This place absolutely blew me out of the water! Unbelievable selection that I can’t find anywhere else. The guy behind the counter was incredibly knowledgeable about all that is craft beer, and I was beyond impressed.”
“Bobby & Lake Liquors are the BEST around.
Bobby was able to supply Beer, Liquor, Sodas, & water for our sons wedding of more than 80 people. Great communication from start to finish with Great prices as well. He came through for us with great expertise on pick-up day & also had a family member at the store to help us load everything.
We are lucky to have such great business that is willing to go above & beyond to accommodate their neighbors. Lake Liquors is a BIG plus to our community.”
“I love that this is a family owned business! The whole family is awesome! They have lots of variety of wine beer and liquor if they dont have what you're looking for they've even offered to order it for you!”

“I don’t drink often but felt like maybe a cold coming on so I thought why not have a bottle of whisky on hand for a hot toddy and the man working was so nice. He helped with everything I needed. What a great place!”
“You can find some very unique items, from furniture, food and kitchen and dining wares. However, I do find them to be a bit pricy unless you get it on sale. Otherwise I live this place, my mom and I bond when we go there.”
“I scout Bourbon to add to my collection and enjoy through the winter, these guys are always super nice even though they probably get hammered with questions for allocations. Great selection including some hard to find spirits and awesome customer care, this is how all other stores should be.”
