“I like to hunt for bottles so I've seen my share of small liquor stores. I happened to be eating nearby and spotted this place and figured why not check it out.”
“Vin Chicago is a wonderful wine / spirits / craft beer retailer, where a wide variety of wines can be found at great prices. The associates that I've interacted with are very helpful and friendly. You often find customers buying in bulk, and I can assume it's because they know a good thing when they see it. While I mentioned craft beer and spirits, those are very limited in scope, but their variety of wine is impressive and I'm sure they can get you something if it's not in stock.”
“Very impressive place. I have never seen before like that liquor store. That’s a big liquor world in Chicago. You have to found what exactly looking for. I love this place. It was very nice experience for me.”
“A wonderful wine shop-the owner has great taste and offers a variety of wines at a good value. We have found many great new wines here! The monthly wine club selections have been great. Vinissimo is a relaxed atmosphere with a helpful, super friendly owner.”
“I love this family. They revamped this place a few years ago and it’s so much better now. A chemical engineer major turned store owner and a family to help out. They always have my special WC brand before the company changes the size.”
“An exceptional local, family-owned liquor store with unparalleled hospitality. The staff are notably welcoming, with Drew at the bar standing out for his exemplary service. Their selection of beer, wine, and spirits is both vast and impressive.”
“Incredible wine shop! Matthew & Matthew have exhaustive knowledge about wine & are enthusiastic & extremely helpful to share with you. The wine selection is superb with a wide range of prices, something for everyone.”
“Good shop assortment, many alcohol brands and friendly atmosphere. However, shop have serious issues with the vape products. Even if you will test vape directly in front of cashier - first few puffs will be perfect. However, after 10-20 puffs vape become completely burnt. Tested three times and wasted money. Will not make more attempts to buy any vape here. However shop is recommended for other products.”
“This liquor store is a game-changer! They've got an amazing variety of drinks that cater to everyone's tastes, from the classics to unique finds. What's even better? The prices won't make a dent in your wallet! It's my go-to spot for quality drinks that don't cost a fortune. If you want great options at great prices, this place is a winner!”
“Great variety of hard to find craft beers. Seems to be moving more in that direction (Craft section getting bigger) which is a good thing. Don't let the exterior fool you.”

“This place is a hidden gem. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Even though we came in almost at closing time we weren’t rushed. We were given samples without pressure to buy. Prices are extremely reasonable and the selection is abundant. Do yourself a favor and stop in here. I wish we were local, instead of just visiting. This would definitely be our go to store.”

“I can't say enough good things about this liquor store. The customer service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to assist customers. The store is well-stocked, offering a wide variety of liquor options from popular brands to unique and rare finds. The prices are reasonable, and they often have great deals and promotions. It's my favorite place to shop for all my party needs or to simply unwind with a quality bottle of wine after a long day. - Dutt”
“Smaller store…more like a standard neighborhood liquor store as opposed to a Binny’s.Selection is good, but more limited than a typical location. Prices are still good.They also have a choke-point entrance with security.”
“While I might enjoy a glass of wine or champagne, I know little about the hard stuff, which is why it is funny that we are planning a scotch/whiskey/bourbon tasting party. Which is why we found ourselves at Binny's Beverage Depot. We found an exclusive bottle, which was not available online, along with the requisite mixers, liqueurs and accompaniments for the other drinks. There is absolutely everything here you need to host your gathering, your shindig, your soirée, your bash, your scotch/whiskey/bourbon tasting, down to the experts on staff. Welcome to the promised land of liquor, drink dreamland, wine wonderland. Did I already partake of said elixirs? No I'm just being silly. I am posting pics of items I found silly too. If you know anything about alcoholic bevs, you already know this place.”
“I’ve been coming here since they opened a few years ago and it’s a great addition to downtown Arlington Heights. Awesome selection of cans (my preferred beer consumption method) and rotating drafts. Flights are great way to try out a new beers without committing to a pint. Staff is friendly and attentive and always kind enough to let you sample a draft. Only negative things I can say is that I wish it was bigger and when it’s busy the number of children can be off putting.”
“They were patient and went above and beyond to ensure my large order got delivered in full. This was for an important corporate event and they didn’t let me down.”

“Karl is knowledgeable and carries many unique small wineries, from Europe and around the world. He excels in Spanish (not well known in the US), Portuguese, and Italian Wines. Buy local from a person who understands wine, not mass market stores.”
“Great selection of Beer that I wouldn't have expected before walking in. Found exactly what I was looking for and the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Will definitely be back.”
“This place is great and now a favorite. Very comfortable surroundings, perfect atmosphere for a drink. Beer collection and knowledge of employees is very impressive”

“Our go to for the best specialty foods. Schaefer's is a long standing family business that hasn't conceded on maintaining quality products, expertise, and customer experience. Keep doing what you're doing for generations to come!”
“It's a chain supermarket... what else can I say about it. Sometimes they have good grocery prices and sometimes they don't. I noticed they put lots of merchandise on sale during the week... not on weekends.”
“I found a decently priced liquor store compared to grocery stores. Staff here are very helpful in finding what you are looking for. I will be coming back to this place.”
“I recently went in here and I was with my friend who also wanted to buy some liquors. We were greeted by a bunch of selection of different liquors. This store is definitely the best liquor store that I could ever been.”
“I had a mind blowing experience here tonight at the Binny's in Glencoe. I stopped to pick up a bottle of wine and was helped by Robert Anderson the Wine Consultant. This guy seemed to know everything about wine and taught me more in 20 minutes than any high end sommelier ever has. I'm Greek and he knew all about Greek wines, and the Greek phrases to go with them. I wanted to know more about Sancere wines from France and he knew what type of soil adds or detracts from the grapes depending on the zone they are grown in. I've been to quite a few Binny's but this guy will be my go to for a long time! It goes without saying they had a great assortment with some amazing prices as well!”
“Great local shop with not only wide wine selection and home goods products, but friendly staff. It’s our families go-to place for gifts to support a local business with great quality!”
“Really nice people. Large selection of drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic. The guys who have helped me are not rude and they will give you a recommendation if needed.”

“Good selection. The shopkeepers are generally friendly. I believe it is a family owned business. I'll gladly take my business here rather than a large store on the occasion that I buy alcohol.”
