When I moved to Huntley, I was sorely disappointed to say goodbye to my old liquor store. I had a…read moregood relationship with the owner and it killed me to leave that behind. What I didn't know was I would find another store that would be equally great. The guys are always friendly and helpful. If they're able, they'll even order per your request. Yeah, they're a little on the high side of price, but I'll pay a little more for good, friendly service. The craft and micro brew selection at this store is better than most. At my old store, it was always a rare treat to find some new interesting beer. At this store, the treats are never ending. Even if the beer I've been waiting for hasn't yet arrived, there's a ton of other amazing beers to give a try while waiting for the one I want to get there.

This Armanetti's is the best one around. The one on Algonquin blows. They have an excellent…read moreselection of craft beers, which is what I go for. They clearly have a lot to offer other than beer. They have a great selection of Pipeworks, which usually sells out in a day at Binny's, so I can always find something that has been just released. On Thursdays, they have a discount on craft beers.

Their prices are just a tad above the supermarkets, but that is understandable. The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly and are always willing to find and order your favorite libation if they do not carry it. Yes, I could drive the extra mile and go to the big supermarket and save an extra couple of dollars, but this place gives you the friendliness and service only a small neighborhood business can provide.

Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly staff makes you feel like a regular whether you are or not. ***To those bashing this local family owned small business because sometime the food trucks don't show up....major eyeroll. They cannot control when a food truck cancels last minute, and often try to find a replacement when possible. GO REVIEW THE FOOD TRUCK instead of the host location that has no control over them.***

They're always happy to help you find the perfect beer or seltzer, whether you know exactly what you want or just want to try something new. The selection is fantastic, with a great variety of beers and seltzers that truly offer something for everyone. Sours are my absolute favorite. Plus, I'm always excited for their rotating Tiki Time drinks during the summer! The food trucks are always delicious and add a fun, fresh element when onsite. The outdoor (and pet-friendly) patio is yet another highlight. It's clear they continue to invest in making the space even better each year. It's such a great spot to relax, hang out with friends, and enjoy a drink (or two). Riverlands is easily my favorite local spot. Highly recommend giving this place a try and hopefully it'll become your new favorite, too!

2nd time here in 2.5 years. We were in the Geneva area and decided to visit St Charles, too. Things…read moreare a little different now (in a good way!). They expanded and added a covered, outdoor patio. The indoor dining area is expanded slightly to have more seating. I ordered the wake and bake pineapple express. The beer was good. It was sour, but still had that beer taste. It wasn't overly sour. I didn't try any food. The bartender was friendly and hustling the whole time we were there. You should stop by. It's an interesting concept being attached to a gas station.

The…read morepatio was open so we could enjoy the beautiful weather with the awning and umbrellas giving plenty of shade. Five stars for the beer selection! I had a flight with sours, a Mexican ale & a blonde ale - all were delicious & smooth. The food comes from their partner Urban Counter. Husband had the Maxwell St Polish - really good with caramelized onions. The onion rings were nearly perfect with a light crisp beer batter. Not great menu options for a vegan, I went with the southwest salad. It was okay. I'm sure it would be better for anyone able to have the dressing. Adding meat was also an option. Overall worth the stop & will probably be back to enjoy the beers & patio.

Sew Hop'd is a small, fun brewery tucked just off a busy road; easy to miss if you're not paying…read moreattention, but well worth the detour. The beer is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed in the best possible way. Throw in the occasional food trucks -- often fantastic -- and suddenly that "quick beer" turns into staying a little longer than planned.

Checked out this pretty cool small brewery in Huntley. It isn't the attention getter that More is,…read morebut the beers are great and a pretty sweet hang out. Sew Hop'd is located in the building next to the tracks. Maybe there's not as many to choose from, but they make these with better care. There's some pretty unique ones, and at pretty good prices. A small brewery like this has fewer beers. It's the only bad thing that can be said about it. The part that makes up for this is that the beers are great though. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty comparable to other microbreweries like this. Had a few the last time here. Of the ones that we tried, the best was the Take The Stage. It's a session Indian pale ale. There was also a strawberry cheesecake one that I would have tried if it didn't have lactose. Here's another great local brewery to get some cold ones and chill. It's mostly known for the beers, but there's also entertainment such as live music. There's not really any food, but they have tubs of Von Hanson's pretzels, and there's food trucks on weekends.

He is very knowledgeable about his inventory. Plus he even calls me "buddy" or "bro" every time I'm in which makes me feel very warm inside. The store is very conveniently located too! In a pinch I can even pick up some last minute porn or a finely crafted one hitter! They also have milk and eggs. I highly recommend this liquor shop!

I'm used to seeing a small kid being minded by his mother and a polite father willing to help customers, except all know their products and prices. They have a decent selection of beers and an ample variety of mini bottles (aka airplane bottles) I've gotten Hennessy, Chambord and Johnny Walker black label airplane bottles from here in the past. The aisles are always clear, clean store and always looking like it just opened. The store is located next to a department store and has late night hours. Later night can be scary for some since most of the lights in the lot are not on, but know that the Target / Walmart next door always has overnight staff employees coming and going, so its never too quiet out there.
