Capones is one of the best bottle shops in Chicago…read more They usually have the most recent releases, if you can get to them in time. They always have a great selection even if you're not in time for the newest, hottest beer releases. One of the best, if not THE best local brewery selection is always stocked full of delicious beers. Most of the store is beer now a days, so if you're looking for liquor then you might want to try somewhere else. If you're a beer geek then this is a must stop! It's easy to get to. Right off of Elston, north of Addison and right down the street from the Rev taproom on Kedzie. Parking is usually easily available in the lot. There's only been a handful of times when it's been tricky finding a spot. Mark, who is usually behind the counter, is always friendly and helpful. I always make it a priority to stop in and see what's available now that I'm not longer in the city. Definitely one of those places I miss being close to.

Truly enjoy their new space, the bottle shop, always have had solid draft beers, the mostly delicious food in the kitchen (especially the burger!), the service is generally above average, the outdoor space is excellent, they have a cafe with solid breakfast options and the bathrooms are stocked and clean! I strongly recommend going there and enjoying it for all that it is! Why not a 5-star review?! Well... The one star ding is due to not being presented with the total bill with details at checkout, just being presented with the Toast handheld with the gratuity page displaying, so you really do not know what 18%, 20%, 22% etc., is based on or if you want to do something custom. Turns out it's based on the total bill, including tax. Which, I'm sorry, I do not tip on tax, just as I would not be tipping on any fees added to any bill from any business. I firmly believe that tips should be based on total bill BEFORE taxes and fees. I understand that there are those who are on the opposite side of the coin. That's fine, you do you, I do me. Go and have a great time; but, be aware!

What a great lil spot! Some friends brought me here for one of their Thursday evening wine…read moretastings, and I was blown away by how unique, delicious and reasonably priced they all were. I remember trying a summery white wine I liked, and have since gotten a great juicy red bottle. While wine is their main thang, they also have a nice looking selection of gin, whiskey, bourbon and more. They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that! Overall love the product offering and the knowledgeable staff, so will be picking up wine from here from now on.

I'm not a fan of shady liquor stores in general, but this one really sets the bar low…read more Atmosphere? Let's see... The entire place smelled of cigarettes, particularly in back. The music playing was obnoxious, like someone vomiting into a trumpet. I guess World Wide Liquor and Food doesn't want its customers to stay for long! The selection of beer was decent, but didn't have anything to set it apart. The guy behind the counter mumbled horribly. I still have no idea what he said, but it ended with "ID," so I showed him my license. He seemed appeased. I never want to go back to World Wide, as a 3-minute visit made my hair smell for the rest of the day. However, I do give one extra star because they had Game of Thrones beer when 3 other stores didn't... PROBABLY because nobody wanted to set foot into the place!

This has been a fun way to meet new people in the neighborhood and to try things I would not normally try. It also helps make a better decision of what to purchase! The owners are some of the friendliest people around. They will answer any question with gusto, make recommendations, or just chat it up if you're in the mood for that The space is comfortable and has quality art that you can purchase. The positive vibe makes shopping for liquor/beer that much more fun. The selection changes every so often, and that's what keeps us going back and finding out what's on their shelves. I enjoy trying new things, so this change of product throughout the year is great. Whether you are going on a quick "beer/liquor run" or wanting to have a "beer/liquor experience" this is the place for your. Next time you are in Logan, don't miss it.

I flashed back to college days of long drives to 'wet' counties, shifty looks, side-eyes from the clerks, and brown paper bags filled with Boones Farm and/or Cisco. But, when in Rome and without wine for a party, ya do what ya have to do. Plus, I should have realized that I was in North Center not... non-North Center. There's a reason why folks want to live in this neighborhood -- stuff's nice! At first glance, the spot is your requisite licka sto' -- complete with a selection of brightly colored, HFCS juices. Daddy like. But, after some digging into the wine selection... what's this? First, a selection. As in, choices. Real choices. In classy-looking bottles. Secondly, the wine selection is BROKEN INTO COUNTRIES! You heard me right: this small, neighborhood liquor store has a wine section that's broken into regions. Maybe it was the shock from my lowered expectations, but I was really impressed. I was not at all expecting to make this kind of find. To further sweeten the pot, the wine was priced at licka sto' prices. So, I was able to buy a fairly decent tempranillo that left a nice wad of green in my wallet. Who knew? Even the licka sto's in North Center are nice! Movin' on uuuppp....

Can't comment on the food but the sandwiches did look appetizing. According to their menu it's 1 dollar oysters Monday to Thursday all day until they run out. So I'm definitely going over during those days. The staff were kind and accommodating to my dog on the patio. Select glasses of wine can start around 10 dollars. There are some happy hour deals centered around drinks from glasses, wine flights, and sangria pitchers. As well as a taco Tuesday special. Paid street parking, on the first floor so handicap accessible, excited to come back during dollar oysters.

We visited Chicago recently for a long weekend and had booked a table at a Michelin-rated…read morerestaurant. The restaurant didn't have wine service, and rather than bring wine from home (we flew with carry-ons) we figured we'd find a wine shop before our reservation and get two or three bottles. This store was just a block or two from the AirBNB we booked. I explained to the staff member who helped us (and who greeted us promptly on entry) what we were hoping to do. He quizzed on our likes, dislikes, and preferences and arrived at several recommendations for us. The recommendations weren't the most expensive bottles in the shop, which I think is a fear many people have in this sort of a situation. We mentioned we were from out of town and he could have sold us anything since it's not likely we will be back in Chicago anytime soon. Since this was a shop that specializes in organic/naturally fermented wines, there weren't a lot of producers with which we were familiar. We ended up selecting two fantastic wines from then range recommended to pair with our meal. Not only was the shop super helpful, they knocked it out of the park with the recommendations. If you live in the Logan Square area of Chicago, please do yourself a favor and visit this wine shop. They deserve success!
