Good service, very clean, the best selection and prices in town by far. MUCH lower than the convenience stores and gas stations. read more

Would rate it half a star if I could. The owner of this place is an absolute asshole. Bought a bottle of Bookers bourbon this morning. His wife took my name for a list to call when they possibly get something else I've been looking for. We came back when we decided to also purchase the Eagle Rare. We asked about the Weller 12, he had to go in the back to get it and then refused to sell it to me - saying "I don't sell to you people. Unless you spend thousands in here a month, I know what games you play and I won't it to you." White woman and a Hispanic veteran of this country. We shared with him that we are frequent customers of other Armanettis (and he says he owns 9) although he claimed "you don't shop at my stores, you're playing games." When my husband asked if our money is not good enough for him, he said "Yes, that's what I'm saying." Never again. I hope this guy goes out of business. I'm making some other calls. read more

Armanetti's - a hand making the v sign - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Woodstock, Illinois

Yelp doesn't provide for a 1/2 star. Owner received newest offerings of two new whiskeys in the Jack Daniels family, not limited edition. I drove 19 miles as he said he just received them. Upon arrival he said the were $99 per bottle! I had done my research and knew that JD had put an suggested price on the bottles in the range of $32. He stepped away from the computer screen to serve a customer. I stepped up and saw what I knew. Owner said I didn't read the screen properly and closed the computer. He held to outrageous price and I left. He calls me and claimed to have misread the computer and it really was &59.95 each. Lie atop lies. The MSRP the MSRP. Is $29.95 for the rye and $32,95 for the bonded. Shop there if you want to get hosed read more

Poor customer service and disrespectful. Over priced on many items. I stopped in and asked for something specific I've purchased before. Im visually impaired and asked the actual owner for some assistance. He mumbled and pointed down to an aisle, I tried looking on my own and asked if he could help. No other customers in store, he refused and then said they don't have it. I've never been teated so poorly in a retail environment. I shopped only out of convenience as Binneys &Woodman's sell for $3 less but closer here. Never again! Rude Nasty and the owner???? You are better off going to Jewel or Walgreens anywhere than this place! I'd score a Zero if possible. read more

Cannot believe the bait and switch. Contacted drizly said that this place had the spirit we were looking for. Backing up a bit earlier I the week we called and spoke to the female manager about this certain bottle of rye we re looking for. Said they didn't have it and she hung up on me. Nice. Next day went to the store and guess what, it was I stock. Not a person I'd want to be in charge of my business. Nasty women. So we ordered thru drizly said they had in stock. They delivered alright. In paper bag. Opened bag and guess what. Not what we ordered. Same distillery but about a 75.00 different liquor than we ordered. Bait and switch. Have the poor delivery guy on our ring saying it's not what you ordered Nope it certainly isn't not even close. He didn't even argue. Tape says it all. Thinking of co tasting the better business bureau. Shame on these people read more

The owner of this store is always rude to me. Every single time I'm in the store. Today I went to buy a 6 pack had cash in hand to pay. And also a lottery ticket of 5 dollars. He scanned my ticket immediately ripped it up and told me to get out of "his" store. I was like bro why did you rip my ticket. As I'm holding cash to pay for my 5 dollar 6 pack. This is not this is not the first time this owner has been rude to me. Hes nice to people that spend 200 on wine. But rude me and I'm polite. The other employees are polite. Kim, scott, rich are all awesome. The owner has a stick up his ass and is very rude. I wont be supporting this establishment any longer. Kim scott and rich sorry guys but the owner is rude and I'm taking my business elsewhere read more

Staff on the floor super-knowledgeable and friendly. Owner seems alright. Wine tastings on the weekends, evidently. Haven't made it to one yet. read more

This place has over 50 years of experience, and they train their staff to help in meaningful ways. Craft beer a must. read more

Armanetti's - Armanetti Craft Beer Selection - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Woodstock, Illinois

Excellent selection of beer,wine and liquor but absolutely terrible customer service from the "manager" Kim.... everyone else is great!

My Wife and I were shopping for a bridal shower we were hosting last Friday and stopped at the Armanettis on Rt.47 in Woodstock to stock up on beer, wine, and champagne for the party. We always purchase slightly more than we think we'll need to be sure we don't run out. The next day we'll generally return any unopened wine/champagne we don't think we will use. The next morning I returned to the store with four bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine. I was told by the Manager/Owner? (who was the person that checked us out the day before) that, 'you cannot return liquor' and that, 'no one in Mchenry will take liquor back'. After standing there with a puzzled expression I informed him he just lost a good customer. He came out to the parking lot to inform me that because I could have tampered with the product or changed its quality with poor (hot, cold, sunlight) storage he couldn't take it back. I held up the receipt that showed I had purchased the liquor less than 24 hours ago. And it was still in the box that HE packed it in. Still, common sense eluded him. Checking Illinois law there is nothing that states you may not or you must accept liquor returned to the store from which it was purchased. It is up to the individual store/chain to set their policy. However, since moving to the area a few months ago I have frequented this store on average 2-3 times a week, I'm a regular customer. This employee's short sighted action may have saved him/them a couple dollars and maybe a little effort, but it cost the store hundreds/thousands(?) of dollars in future sales. Oh forgot to mention, I had returned the extra liquor from a house warming party to that very store two months earlier. That employee accepted the return with the courtesy one would expect from a class establishment. Guess I'll be hanging at Binnys alot more. read more

Legit liquor store. Armanetti's is an easy stop to pick up booze to go with the pizza for game night. Yes, I just promoted pizza and booze for game night. Conveniently located off of 14, and with ample parking, you're in and out in a jiffy. Their layout is easier to understand than Binny's and I feel like the smaller sections make your visit less overwhelming. While I was there, it got a little busy and one of the other staff member thought nothing of jumping on a register to get everyone out and on their way. I will be back! read more

The new location a few blocks closer to rt 14 is shiny, new, and with a bigger selection it seems. Cigar lovers should also stop in.

it has been well over 20years since i have been in the store. My mom went in to pick up a handle of smirnoff back in the day and my hamster we had just purchaced in crystal lake, bit the hell out of my hand and i came running in screeming in the door bleeding all over the place, i was shooting out blood. while mom bandaged me up in the john, the nice folks repackaged mr hamster in a liquor box for us and wrote all sorts of "beware of killer hamster" messages all over the box in sharpie. good people! read more

Great selection. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. My problem is in the winter when it has snowed. The staff here plows the lit and only in front of the entrance/exit. Terrible job of shoveling and access. A little more effort could be made by management to facilitate moving their products to my car after it has snowed. Great selection. They have everything. read more

HOT GARBAGE!!! Domestic beer is approx. $2 more than anyone in town. When I looked on the website it was in the sale paper. When I went back to confirm they told me to "read the fine print" on the website because it was a posted expired sale paper. Here's a novel idea: TAKE IT OFF THE SITE GENIUS! They refused to budge on the $2 because they think they're the only liquor store around with a nice variety. GO TO BINNY'S IN McHENRY. Very helpful staff, more reasonable prices and they offer a rewards card to save on purchases. It's worth the short drive. read more

I had to take my 5 kids in the store with me to grab a few specific items. The older lady (maybe in her mid to late 40s) wearing a waist apron helped me out tremendously, gave my kids each a tootsie roll and was super warm and welcoming. If I need any more specialty items, this is the place I'll choose first. Thanks for great service! read more
