“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”
“Kenwood Liquors is one of the best liquor stores around for bourbon hunters. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the prices are consistently fair. While I haven’t found too many allocated bottles here, they more than make up for it with an impressive selection of store picks—a great way to get unique, high-quality bourbons at good prices. Their overall bourbon selection is solid, making this a must-visit spot for anyone looking to explore new bottles. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing selection of beers and hard liquors with good prices. This is my go to liquor store for bourbon and vodka and occasional beer. Friendly and knowledgeable staff always willing to help you find what you are looking for or just start up a chat. Give them a try if you haven't already!”
“I went to this store today which was my first visit and the service and cashiers were awesome! The young lady that answered the phone was very polite and also checked the stores inventory to see if the item I was looking for was available. Once I got there, I was greeted and assisted by the first cashier who also answered the phone and she was very knowledgeable about the products and availability of the items I inquired about. Thank you for the experience and I will be back.”

“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.”
“I want to give a big shout-out to Leslie at Binny’s Beverage Depot. She is an amazing employee—friendly, helpful, and always professional. Every time I stop in, she makes sure I find exactly what I need and does it with a great attitude.
It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about customer service the way she does. Binny’s is lucky to have her!
Highly recommended!”
“The best liquor store I’ve found in Chicago.The sales are amazing. I drink Tequila and everything was awesome sale Casamigo,Patron and Don Julio.Highly recommend.Third time I been there and we came to visit our cousin. We come from Indiana always our first stop.”
“Off Premise Chicago is doing something a lot of liquor stores miss. They prioritize quality over quantity. Their tequila selection may not be massive, but what they carry is thoughtfully curated and focused on well-made, authentic tequila rather than the usual mass-market lineup.
Even ordering online, the experience has been excellent. Orders are handled quickly, packaged well, and it’s clear there’s real care behind the business.
I’m genuinely impressed with their overall offerings and attention to quality. If they continue expanding their tequila selection with the same mindset, this will become a must-watch shop for agave lovers.”
“I’ve been going to this liquor store for a while now and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. The selection is always on point, whether you’re looking for something basic or trying something new. Everything is stocked, organized, and easy to find, which I really appreciate.
But what really makes this place stand out is the owner, Swami. He’s genuinely one of the nicest, most welcoming people you’ll meet. He always greets customers with a smile, remembers regulars, and makes you feel valued every time you walk in. It’s rare to find that kind of service these days.
If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, great selection, and even better people, this is the place. Hands down the best liquor store around.”
“Love that it’s close by and affordable, always stocked up with beatbox, I’m hoping they get their new flavor hot cinnamon soon for the holidays!”
