One of the best bottle shops in Chicago especially if you're a rum / wine nerd. Super well curated and they put on regular tastings and events that are really fun. Everyone at the shop is super knowledgeable and won't steer you wrong with whatever you're looking for. Cheers!

BottlesUp! is an extremely welcoming wine shop and neighborhood gathering place. Melissa and her team are warm, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. They’ll help you find an amazing wine (or spirit or beer!) that matches your budget. I’ve been shopping at BottlesUp! since it opened and highly recommend it.
