“This is the best liquor store in Chicago. They have everything you need and more importantly the staff and security are so friendly and helpful every time. The store is always clean. Nik has a heart of gold, you leave feeling better than when you came in.”
“Bottles & Cans provided the wine/pop for our wedding and did an incredible job. Carly did a tasting with us, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to pick out the perfect wines. The shop was so welcoming. Everything was so personalized and customizable. Honestly one of our favorite vendors to work with, everything felt curated and special but not fussy or overpriced. Some of the bottles we ended up serving are definitely going to be go-tos in our house in the future.”
“Very Nice Staff and answers phones to answer questions. Special thanks to cashier TIJATTA and owner. Purchased

“I've been coming here for years. They're the only store that sells an item I like so while I now live over twenty miles away, it's worth the drive.
The people who work here are helpful and kind. I never leave without thanks and good wishes -and candy that wasn't even on my list ?
Absolutely worth it.”
“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!”
“I always come here for coffee in the mornings. Staff are super friendly. The place is cleaned so well. The owner really cares about this place and you can tell from how good the vibes are.”
“What’s not to love about this shop? The owner and team are always super approachable and excellent with recommendations. I’ve had nothing but the most delicious (for me) wines from here because they know what they’re talking about! Don’t bother with the wine at WF. Get your charcuterie there and then head to Independent Spirts.”
“A true beverage superstore that I love to visit for beer, wine, or liquor. So many choices. Huge, tall, well lit. And a great tasting room as well. Easy access off of North.”
“Absolute top tier experience, the word liquor store has the wrong connotation, these people know what they’re talking about and the speakeasy in the back is a vibe that’s the icing on the cake for the whole experience. Santana served a mean pour of G4 reposado for me that was excellent”
“I love the service here they treat customers the right way this is why I like to come here some stores show no compassion towards there customers thanks again to the staff here for that”
“Friendly service with wide range of products. I have seen the manager gave a free bottle out because person answering the phone told a customer a bottle is available but it's not . Something i would never expect.”
“I love Augusta! They are always so welcoming and knowledgeable. The collection feels curated and great value. I would highly recommend their wine club and stopping by for a free tasting on Thursdays!”
“Had a good experience while grabbing a couple drinks for the weekend. Everyone was very friendly and there was a big selection of drinks! Right around the corner from my apartment and a great location.”
“Great store to pick up asian cuisine products. The red meat is fresh, the fish in great shape and you can stay as long as u want or shop as quick. I fequently shop here rather than in chinatown fir its diversity in products”
“Very friendly everyone is very helpful even when they're busy, and I must say they're are always busy but still have the time to help me out if not anyone else. Which I really appreciate it alot. The shelves are always stock up to the max and I have no problem finding anything I need and /or want on whatever that I need. I live close to this place and this is my first and go-to fast store to shop for things like beer,cigarettes, milk and snacks little stuff like that. The only thing I wish that I wish they would have is to accept the link card, but they don't. I think they would have more business if they did accept the link card but it's all good though. I really really like this store as being a go-to number 1 place to visit if you need a quick bite of something to eat or drink of anything like that.”
“Genuinely the closest thing this neighborhood has to community. Everyone is super nice and friendly! Treat me like family.
PLEASEEEE owners if you’re reading, the final cherry on top for this place would be selling subs/sandwiches like a bodega. Or some sort of grab and go food.”
“Great gem of a store. Super large and affordable inventory beer, wine and all the spirits. A feel good store, with friendly workers. Great place to go on the the way home.”
“Incredible little grocery store with delicious sandwiches pre made and made to order.
They have specialty snacks, fancy cookies, an other treats. It’s like a bougie little bodega. Incredible”
“The BEST neighborhood wine shop with an unbeatable selection. Always helpful and friendly along with all the choices, wish everyone could have one in their city.”

“Lots of good alkohol brand names from all around the world. Try Jack Daniel's rye or select single barrel 131 proof. Very very smooth on front of tong and on back also. You have to take a breath first before you drink the shot or sip from glass and than brief out. Very flavor and smooth and than you will feel the heat going from mouth down to your stomach.”
“must recommend to visit the store affordable and cheaper price as well as many ongoing discounts, also nice customer service for everyone love to going back here for buying more stuffs”
“This is the first time I actually made a stop to purchase something at Gold Coast Market. I entered the market and I was interested in the selection of bottles they offered. I was a little skeptical because all of the bottles were behind the counter which was slightly disappointing because I like to scan and read labels. The stock seemed like it had better days but the gentleman behind the counter was very nice and an employee off duty stopped in looking for her sandwich. The clerk made it seem like someone took it but the shortly before the woman was to leave, the clerk revealed her food behind the counter. We All had a good laugh! So that put me in a better mood so I purchased a pint of khalua and a bottle of Tito's vodka to make white Russians. I also perused the aisles before I made my purchase and it was up to my local liquor store standards. Lots to look at and there even is deli on the west side of the street for sandwiches. Good look!”
“This place is amazing! They have a great selection of liquor and wine. The staff is great and they are all very friendly. They keep it very clean and organized and it always smells great! This is my favorite store in Lincoln park!! Check them out!”
“Love this place. They have great non-alcoholic options. They are so friendly and knowledgeable about the inventory. Extra points for supporting local vendors. I got a non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and it was a hit at Thanksgiving.”
“I brought a group of friends visiting the city to the mall for some gift shopping and this place was a sweet surprise. Piper and the other employee who's name I didn't catch provided excellent customer service and recommended some good gift choices. A bit pricey but for unique gifts I'll absolutely be bringing visitors back or visiting myself.”
“They're not like 7-Eleven ignorant dumbass MF that don't appreciate your business and you don't have to tell them so many times before they get your numbers right & they're so friendly with their customer I just love them too much”
“I went in looking for cachaça— hard to find, but I thought to myself, “if anywhere has it, they have it here.” Looked for a while to no avail, and although the cachaça wasn’t in the main section, the very helpful staff didn’t allow me to leave until I’d found what I was looking for, and called the owner to locate where the cachaça was and make sure I left with what I needed. Thank you!”
“This place has reasonable prices. The staff working their are very professional, courteous, resourceful, to down to earth. Great customer service. I will be coming here often.”
“Have shopped here for a few years now and love this place, so glad to have them in the neighborhood. Today I went in and basically accused them of a mistake from the day before. They graciously explained how it wasn't really possible and I quickly saw that my claim was silly. At no point did they make me feel bad or anything. I have no doubt that any of the guys working here would have provided the same kind service.
Love how there's always multiple new and interesting things in the coolers (tbh I'm not a wine/spirits person). When I've asked questions on my picks, they always have answers. Surprising, given the selection they have.
Highly recommend this little neighborhood alcohol store.”
“A lovely couple owns and runs the establishment. I am always impressed with the selection of beer, wine and sake they have available. I love being able to try a beer I've noticed but can't commit to buying a 6pack.”
