“Family-owned small business. Never crowded. Staff is always friendly and the liquor selection seems to be very extensive. If you are in the neighborhood and need to, stop by this place and support a local small business.”
“Seriously, bow down and worship this shrine of wine & liquor. This retailer knows his product, extensively, and this is definitely the best liquor store I've been to. Perhaps one of the best stores I've been to, period. All the descriptions are beautifully hand written.”
“Having lived in Japan, I always dreamed of having a Konbini in Chicago and Konbini & Kanpai made the dream a reality! They have an excellent selection of drinks ranging from non-alcoholic to alcoholic. The staff can match your palette to a drink in minutes and it will become a new favorite. I’ve hosted my birthday there a few times and the staff has always been so kind. The snacks are often ones I can’t get unless I’m in Japan so I love going there. They also have board games! Great place to hang out casually with friends, have a first or many dates, or just to pick up something for the party!”
“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'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.”
“Visited from out of town closest liquor store to my hotel. Nothing special about what you would expect an inner city liquor store to be. Price wise eh it’s fine spendy but fair.”
“Amazing, just amazing. I was looking to pick up some beer since I was going to a byob restaurant down the street and Google let me to bottles & cans. This shop reminds me of a beer shop in Syracuse, NY and it brought back so many good memories. I picked up a 4 pack from the fridge. If you aren’t looking for cold beer, it looks like you can break the cans off if you wanted to create your own pack. Staff was very nice. So much beer, cider, wine and other stuff!”
“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.”
“What a lovely experience! The worker in the store helped me find a delicious spirit. And she drew a beautiful apple pie on my bottle! Love that it is woman owned too!”
“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.”
“One of my favorite places in Evanston! Pete and his co-workers are passionate and knowledgeable about all things beer. They focus on Chicago area brews. They also allow 6-packs to be broken so you can buy individual cans and try more beers!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“I recently discovered Wilmette Market, a newly established, family-owned store near me, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The store is incredibly well-organized, making it easy to find whatever you need. Their prices are great and very reasonable, especially for the quality of the items they offer.
Harry, one of the owners, is extremely helpful and always goes out of his way to assist with finding things. He’s super friendly and makes you feel welcome every time you stop by. His father is equally kind and approachable, making this market a warm and inviting place to shop.
Whether you’re looking for alcohol, snacks, or other kinds of drinks, Wilmette Market has it all. I highly recommend that people in the area stop by and check it out. Not only will you find great products, but you’ll also meet some genuinely nice people. Harry and his father are the kind of people you’d want to make friends with—they’re just that chill!
Support this local gem, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Where do I even begin? Calling this place a boutique bottle shop almost feels like selling it short. They call it a “Brewtique,” and honestly, one of the best in Chicago—I can’t think of one I’d put ahead of it.
Owners Janel and Paul are absolutely perfect. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely welcoming, and somehow seem to know exactly what you’re looking for… even when you don’t. Whether you’re after beer, wine, spirits, or one of their rare gems, they’ll steer you in the right direction without pressuring you.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t just a place to grab a bottle and leave. It’s got serious Cheers (the show) vibes. They remember your name, your favorite drinks, and somehow even your dog’s name (who, by the way, will probably leave with a treat).
After a few visits, you’re not just a customer—you feel like a friend. Give it a little more time and you’re practically family. That’s the kind of place this is, and it’s exactly why supporting local businesses matters.
If I could give them 10 stars, I would… and pro-tip: ask which private barrel whiskey they have available.
Do yourself a favor: stop in once. Just don’t blame me when it becomes your new favorite spot. You’ll be thanking me.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Great selection, wine samples, gift wrapping, hostess gifts and food. Staff is always helpful and accommodating. We also enjoyed working with them for a couple of events.”
“I am local and walked in looking for an experts help on the right bottle of wine. Instantly Guy provided that service. Extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It’s now my go to place I’m going to become a regular”
“Taste threw a wonderful party for me and 20 friends on their patio this past weekend - they were more than accommodating, as they reserved the outdoor patio, catered a large charcuterie (that was extremely tasty!) and pulled four bottles of wine for us. Our server was kind and checked on us throughout the evening. BIG thanks to the Taste staff, as they made my birthday weekend all the more special. Can’t wait to continue coming back with my partner, friends and loved ones!”
“Thank you for responding to my review. I definitely understand now. You’re a small business. When I am able to support I will. I wish you guys the best. Still one of my favorite stores! ????”
“I love this store and I think their selection is fresh and thorough! I gotta say, though, that I’ve been coming here less since they stopped selling the cheddar mac salad. I understand it probably wasn’t the most profitable, but it was the main reason I’d go here sometimes instead of Agora (I’m a lot closer to Agora) because their mac salad sucks. I still like Olivia’s a lot, but I was definitely coming in large part for the macaroni salad. Even my mom, who hates pasta salad, liked your cheddar mac salad. I doubt it will come back but I wanted to make my voice heard (: love your flower selection though!!”
“This particular store, The staff are Really Amazing Very nice. The 2 Lady's are especially very very very nice. I normally don't write reviews but I had to because . They are Re something special. It's like family. I would say number 1 store of all of Chicago.... and The prices are Very Very Very good. Keep doing what you Guys do... Thank you...”
“Omg, I had the best veggie sandwich of my life in this cute, hideaway deli. They also had homemade chips and spinach pie.
All fresh! Ill be back as often as I can!”
“Best burgundy store around. Some of the most knowledgeable people I know in this business. Always a pleasure to talk to and do business with. I have been a happy customer for decades. They do a terrific job of gift wrapping and shipping as well. Cheers! ?”
“The team at Off Premise is beyond knowledgeable and welcoming. They make you feel like you are part of the community. I would highly recommend Off Premise for all your wine and liquor needs!”
“Very cute shop !
Reasonable prices,
very knowledgeable staff,
I highly recommend this little shop for all your wine and spirit needs !”
“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!”

“I don't drink just went with my roommate to pick out some liquors. Just a FYI for the business for someone that has never been in that store or doesn't really know what they are looking for. I asked myself how would I know what is what as the isles and the location of the different drinks are not displayed to make it easier for you to find or potentially have an idea about where to look unless you been in there before or you ask an associate. And sometimes people may not want to ask, for other personal reasons. But just was a thought. However the looking experience was outrageously crazy to see all that liquor. Never even knew that the options were so broad to choose from.”
