STOCK UP This place reminds me of being a kid. When my parents went to stock up for parties or Christmas presents they always went to a store like this. There are not many of these little stand alone small liquor stores anymore. So this place has a sweet spot in my heart and when I'm in the area I try to patronize them. This place always has a ton of parking, so you won't have to worry about searching for a spot. The staff is always friendly and are really fast at getting customers out the door. The owners are even hip and use Belly, as a rewards program. I typically do not see Belly outside of Chicago. I'm sure many Gurnee people are not into Belly but its a good feature. They also sell lottery tickets here. Hopefully I'm lucky tonight. I always try buying my tickets in the burbs cause you never ever hear about anyone from Chicago winning the lottery. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. So you can't go wrong here between the liquor and the gambling. It's like Vegas without the indoor smoking or airplane ride. So next time your feeling lucky, then come and shop here! read more

Cardinal Wine & Spirits - Storefront - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Good craft beer selection. Service is so-so I guess. Not uber friendly. I suppose it's to be expected from a liquor store. read more

I just walked out of the store because the cashier is wearing a mask and gloves that all our doctors and nurses so desperately need. When I asked him if he was sick he sad, " oh no" I told hm then he should not be wearing a mask. He sad it is not his problem that the Doctors and nurses don't have makes. I did not make my purchase and told him I will no longer shop at his store He also said his boss makes him wear it. Shame on you all while our medical people are at risk. read more

My fiancé called ahead to order a quarter barrel of Coors Light for our 4th of July party. They said no problem that they would reserve one for him. The day of the party when he went to pick it up they said they couldn't find his order and had sold all of their Coors Light quarter barrels... so ridiculous! read more

This liquor store around the corner from my house is great. The staff are helpful and efficient. They have a large selection of wines, beers (including small-batch crafts), hard spirits and mixers. They are also dog-friendly. I can take my pooch for a walk and bring him in with me. Prices are very fair, and they frequently run close out sales on wines and branded spirit paraphernalia. If you don't see something you want, you can ask the guy at the desk to carry it. This is my go-to liquor store in Gurnee. They even sell lottery tickets. Cardinal Wine & Spirits is worth a look. read more

I've been going here for years, but not on a regular basis. They are the store I go to when I can't find what I want at the grocery store. The selection o craft beers is much better than many places, but the store is rather small and the prices higher than a higher volume store. I was looking for Creme de Cassis today, and they didn't have it, but they knew exactly where I could get it and told me the name of another liquor store in the area. I ended up getting a substitute at this store after the manager discussed options with us. Good service here. read more

Pretty good bourbon selection. I've got my eye on a 12 year Whistlepig behind the counter. They also had a few Meads that I had never heard of, so that is always a plus. read more

Just a couple things to say about this place. Way overpriced. Rude employees. And I don't know how in a competitive market with their attitudes they stay open. Keg prices are higher than anywhere and the soda on the shelf was expired. I didn't find out til I was home. I brought it back and was refused even an exchange. I was visiting from out of town. I hope somebody else with a sense of how to treat a customer takes this place over. read more

This store has a small but diverse and well stocked craft beer area. I usually have nothing bad about this place. However, this past week I stopped in to buy some crafty beer, specifically Green Flash. It was signed and priced at $10.99 when I got to the register the cashier told me it was $12.99. I took him to the sign and he said someone forgot to take down the old sign. I asked if I could buy it at the advertised price. He said no because the owner wasn't there. I had intended on buying a different product too but left empty handed. Why should I pay for a product that I'm being charged more for. Also, why let a customer leave empty handed over $2 dollars? read more
