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!

This liquor store, although not huge, is so perfectly located that I can't not give it 4 stars…read more It is located right next to my train stop. Although I do not normally need to grab alcohol before getting on a train, I have been in a scenario many can probably relate to: bad day at work, get on the packed train home, end up standing right next to a screaming child, and I'm now wearing the least attractive expression known to man. What happens when I hop off? I immediately go buy myself a 6 pack of my favorite cider from Addison Liquors to congratulate myself for not smacking anyone. Although I prefer wine, I would not recommend this store for the wine selection (even though they have some surprisingly solid choices in a pinch). However, they have a great selection of ciders which are my favorite after wine--usually in the back (I walk straight to the back every time I go). As a plus, they often have wine samples and the people who work here have to be some of the nicest I've ever encountered. So, if you're in the area and are just thinking to yourself that you might need a drink or six in your apartment paired with your favorite TV show, this place has good prices and service that will have you leaving with a better mood than when you entered.

When I get off the train and don't want to hassle w/ getting my beer and liquor this is the spot…read more Usual liquor store prices and right under the El (next to a taco stand too so bonus points!). I was so excited that this was one of the few stores in Chicago that began carrying Shiner Bock when it came to the city! and at a reasonable price too. The only thing I hate is that you have to spend over $10 to pay with a credit card which when I buy a 6 pack of Summer Ale doesn't work out, so fine...through in a small bottle of Captain Morgan...no wait...at that price might as well go up to the larger one, more worth the money. Dammit! I've been had again!! Only down sides are - this place is fully of sweaty disgusting Cubs fans on game day for hours before and after. But that's life in Wrigleyville! And the guy that works here has zero personality. None. You say 'hi, how's it going?' you barely get a grunt if anything. One time he asked me how I was doing and I about fell on the floor. Since then, nothing...but it's right there under the El and if I'm feeling lazy and ride to Addison instead of taking a nice walk from Belmont (stopping at Gold Crown Liquors on this walk) then this is the place for me!

Growing up in Canada, I was accustomed to bland government liquor stores with less than stellar…read morecustomer service. Binny's is the exact opposite and is the shining star of alcohol emporiums. The selection is unbeatable - they have an amazing assortment of wine, beer and spirits that it is almost difficult to decide. That is where the exceptional customer service comes in. I am always greeted with a hello and it's never hard to find someone if I have trouble locating a type of beverage I need. One minor complaint - I wish they did not do away with the deli and cheese counters. This was always a nice add when picking up wine or when hosting a party. I hope they bring it back at some point.

I had to pick up a last minute item at Galleria for a party. I found my item and was shocked at the final price. I started doing the math in my head. The price charged was well above the addition of sales tax (10.25%) + cook county liquor tax ( rounding up 5%) and a credit card surcharge ($0.89). I asked the old white man with gray hair and beard why the final total was so high and he said that it was because Chicago sales tax is 12.5%!!! WHAT??? That was a bold face lie!!! I returned the next day to complain to the manager and he said "why do you give a F**k about a couple of dollars"!!! The audacity!!! They are padding their pockets by baiting and switching prices at the register.

Their prices aren't the cheapest, but that's expected since you're paying for convenience. To be honest, you only end up paying an extra $1 or $2, so it's completely worth it to me. If I just need a case of beer or something quick, it's way easier than going to Jewel. It's family owned and everyone who works in there has always been super friendly to us. Overall, this is a great place if you need booze, lottery, or just a quick pick me up. Pro tip - They do accept credit cards, but only for transactions of $7 and up. They have an ATM, but $3 fee + your bank fee. Just an FYI.

You don't get that kind of customer service anymore and it's great to see them strive to make their customers happy. Also, another great part of this store is they have a great variety of groceries. You can get almost every basic grocery you need bacon, eggs, cheese, bread, boxed foods, etc. as well as cleaning supplies and toiletries. You can find almost anything here. I of course love the owners and the people that work there they have become my family and know me when I come in. Thanks for that!!!

Fair warning: if you're claustrophobic, this is probably not the place for you. Different products seemed to tower up to the ceiling, and there's barely room for one person to snake around it all. But with that comes a lot of different options in the beer/wine/liquor categories. Even better, my can of Underwood wine was the exact same price as it is at Whole Foods, and their beer pricing seemed to be right in line with Target's. A liquor store that's both convenient and economical? I'm a fan.
