“Best liquor store and the cheapest as well can't go wrong with any of these prices RJ the owner is a super nice guy thank you so much for outstanding customer service I give all of you a solid 5 out of 5.”
“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.”
“Kol Tuv is a hidden gem on Devon Ave in Chicago. It is a specialty grocery store that carries an eclectic variety of foods that cater to all different populations. They have all the items you would find in a typical grocery store plus gluten free, dairy free, kosher, gourmet etc. When you go, you must check out the selection of chocolates and candies. The staff is friendly and helpful and the store is immaculate. This store makes grocery shopping fun and exciting! Hope you love it as much as we do!”
“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.”
“Not only are the sandwiches seriously amazing, but I have to give a huge shoutout to the team for making the situation right after our Uber driver “delivered” the food when it was nowhere to be found. They went above and beyond and remade our entire order and personally delivered it to us. As if I don’t love their sandwiches enough, this move of goodwill really won me over, I can’t recommend them enough!”
“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”
“It is so clear that this is a passion project. Everything in this store is carefully thought out. Nearly every bottle has a handwritten paragraph about it. There is so much variety packed into one little shop without the snobbery you might find at comparable places. Price points at all levels, too! Also, Thursday wine tastings are so much fun! I have learned so much about wine from going to these tastings when I can. Everyone that works here is super knowledgeable and patient. My husband and I bring our 3 young kids and everyone is always so cool and understanding. I would give it more stars if I could!”
“Love their delivery service and their online ordering is super convenient and fast! Was out of stock on a few items I ordered, but they immediately called me, and we made a swap. Great fast service!”
“This is my go to place for beer in the Skokie area. They have a wide selection along with spirits, wine, cheese and other snacks.
The staff is extremely friendly and if there's a specific beer/spirit you're looking for, they can pre-order it for you.
Swing by if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!”
“Great store competitive pricing. This store is impressive. Talk about organized, they also price match. National beverage is a must visit. Come on in and shop with these folks, great characteristics, friendly attitudes and always ready to crack a good joke to start of finish your day. Great store with wonderful people. Keep up the great work. You Are winning. I give this store 25 stars.”
“This store has a great spirit and wine selection. I appreciate how well they organize the wine selection. Also, I was surprised by the sought after bourbon selection.”
“This liquor store has a wide variety of Liquors, mixed drinks and pizza, their chicken tikka pizza is very good lots of spices and flavor and their drinks are much colder than Oakton liquors, but i say that Lyons Beverage Depot and Oakton Liquors are probably the only liquor stores to go to”
“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.”
“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.”
“Love Joong Boo Market. I can find great produce, Korean seasonings, seasoned seaweed, dumplings, marinated bulgogi, and so much more. It's like a mini Asian Costco.

“I usually go to Binny’s in Lincolnwood, not ever a positive experience. We went to the binny’s in Portage Park—the staff is so friendly, and helpful. After spending $200, we walked out with smiles. This is my new place for wine and bourbon! Thank you all!!”

“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!”

“One of the best store near summit , employee's are humble and polite they provide good service and good nature they have all products under one roof ???”
“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.”
“I love this place. I’ve been going here for years and as many people have mentioned, the whiskey selection is top notch. The prices are also awesome, and the staff is so friendly every time.”
“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.”

“This is such a chill spot. I've been here twice on a weekend and the beer selection is great. The music isn't obnoxiously loud and you can actually hold a conversation without shouting at each other which is a plus.”
“Great selection of pretty much everything you can think of. Very clean and organized inside. Usually same staff working very friendly and polite good prices also.”
“Perfect grocery store for college students who want good beer and exotic snacks. Definitely not an affordable option for most groceries, but their well curated beer, cider, and seltzer selection is a draw. Great employees as well.”

“Clark Haus is family to me at this point. I've lived in this neighborhood for like 13 years and they've been there whenever I need to grab something quick, more complex, have questions, need help, to scare away creepy men following me around, and everything in between. This day and age, its so special & rare to have a place you feel safe & seen and know has your back. I feel like I'm in a small town rather than a big city whenever I stop in. Zach is amazing. I cannot sing his praises enough and I owe him my life TBH lol. His brother Sam is the sweetest, so is his wife, and all the crew that work there are just incredible, helpful, funny and supportive. I just absolutely love this place and they know it. But I wanted it on record too. I will be a lifelong customer and I'm so happy to have you guys! Love you all! -Kara :)”
“This is my go to spot when I’m buying stuff for home. Today was the first time I went in and wasn’t exactly sure what I should get/needed but had a list of various things. I asked for suggestions/help, unbelievable customer service. They knew where everything was in the store, what was the best choice based on event/what I was trying to make. I don’t think I’ll be going in thinking I know what I want anymore. I will be asking them for advice from here on out.”
“Reopening of Binnys Depot the cashier was pleasant and Assisted me with signing up for discount "s on the future purchases and the store is very Open with bigger Aisles with Plenty of Variety of your favorites to what other items you're use to”
