I was stunned to see a poor customer service review b 'cause while any wine aficionado in the U of C community is going to be a tad bit aloof--wine snobs--rude they are not.

I am looking forward to seeing what else this place has to offer. It is not as close to me as…read moreBinny's or as expansive as Cooper's Hawk, but having a nice small wine place in the neighborhood is something to be proud of and I want to be supportive. I was certain the tasting had a fee, but it did not! Every Thursday they have free tastings from 5-7. I thought at first it would be inefficient to do that, but me and my party bought bottles! It was from a shelf marked $10, but nevertheless, one can get decent wine for that amount. The 'bartenders' were informative and generous with their selections. The crowd was friendly and polite for people enjoying free stuff! The selections from other countries look good too, so next trip I will check them out and spend more moolah!

We stopped here after Brunch at Honey Jam Cafe Located next door earlier this week…read more The woman who was there, I'm guessing she was the owner and was exceptionally nice to us. We couldn't decide on a beer to purchase which I usually leave to my son and his friends as they are the beer experts. There was quite a selection and the owner was quite helpful with choosing one. Next time I'm in the neighborhood I will definitely stop by again!

This liquor store is brand spic & span new so it's insanely neat, insanely clean and the workers are so nice! They were so eager to help me and show me some good deals. They carry a lot of good beers including Lagunitas, Dragon's Milk, Two Brothers, etc. plus all the watery swill you could want. I don't know much about hard liquors but they seemed to have a good selection of both that and wines. Mix & Match 6 packs for $10.99 and I put a couple of Lagunitas Sucks in my sixer. Seeing as they just opened, they are taking recommendations for things they should order. I asked them to get some 5 Rabbit in! So hopefully they will. It's the closest and most convenient liquor store to me now and with such friendly people, I'm sure I'll be there more than I should.

Checked out this chill lounge in Hazel Crest. It certainly is more worthy than its craptastic…read morelocation. Maxey's is known for crowds that are better behaved and not troublemakers. A lot of great cocktails to choose among. There's also some things to eat but it's usually just things that are greasy. Basically this bar has a more mature crowd. It's great if not wanting to run into those who are about to pop a cap in the ass of someone. There's also limited hours so it's harder to get in whenever. A place that really limits when to go. This makes it harder to communicate with employees about events or other things. It's about $10 for a basic cocktail. The food is pretty basic, just things from the fryer to be honest. It's about $7 for an appetizer. They have the basics like onion rings. For sure there's a lot of events. It's located on 183rd Street at Kedzie. They're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
