This was a spontaneous stop. I was trying to go into the souvenir shop next door but when I…read moreapproached it, a sign said to enter through Uncork It. So obviously I did. Of course I got distracted and browsed the store. There was souvenirs in this store as well, which I was not expecting. I wound up picking up winter gloves because I forgot mine at home. I then discovered a clearance cart that had a variety of boozes in there. I was super excited to find Malort! I found a unique cocktail recipe years ago that had Malort in it but was never able to find it in FL. Little did I know, it is very well known in Chicago! Obviously I purchased a little 6 pack. I browsed the aisles somewhat but did not find anything that caught my eye. I also did not want to purchase a bunch of bottles to walk with a couple of blocks. As I was waiting for the person in front of me to finish, the employee asked the customer to please step ahead so I could put my items down. He was already done and taking his time doing something else so I felt that was thoughtful of him to do for me. They were very polite and quick. The process seemed reasonable for the most part but the souvenirs were overpriced. The store was clean and tidy as well.

Walked in, and walked right out.

This is a hidden in plain sight gem in the South Loop. I have probably walked by dozens, if not…read morehundreds of times. It was by happenstance, through an email from Whiskey Magazine about their favorite spots in Chicago, that I found out about Warehouse Liquors. For the uninitiated, the Warehouse Liquors web site is the best place to start, as it features a comprehensive schedule of in-store tastings. Weekly tastings are from 5pm-7pm Thursdays (whiskey and beer) and 5pm-7pm Fridays (wine). The storefront is deceptively small, as it features a vast selection of spirits and wines, including a cooler at the back of the store and a curated assortment of food (snacks). I came here for a wine tasting on Friday in early spring (better late than never with this review) and now feel remiss that I have not been back here more often. It was a perfect date night activity and kickoff to the weekend. Now that cooler temperatures are here, I look forward to returning to sample some of the whiskeys and scotches and making some considered purchases. The personalization and the fact that this is a locally owned business sets Warehouse Liquors apart from the rest.

The people who work there are really nice as well. At the time we went there, there was a beer tasting happening. We got to try an IPA called Launch Juice. Normally I hate IPAs, but this one didn't have a strong IPA flavor so we bought a pack. We bought their Launch Juice and S'more beer. To me, the s'more had a thicker consistency and is definitely a stronger beer but rich with flavor. My partner said it tasted like a shot so take my review with a grain of salt. I'd come back here to try their other stuff!

For the first time ever. We felt unwelcomed and uncomfortable. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a rude tone by the Lady Bartender. After we ordered our drinks, she was just eyeing us the whole time, making us feel uncomfortable. Aldo went to take a picture of the dog inside the bar and she yelled across the bar to tell us to not record. I felt she could've just walked over and told us, instead of embarrassing us in front of the whole bar. She never said thank you and didn't say bye to us. We have years of industry under our belt and this is our first time, we weren't feeling it. So unfortunately this bar isn't dive bars boyz approved.. had potential..
