This local liquor store in Skokie has been in business since 1936 offering an great selection of wines and spirits. They also have a small deli offering gourmet food products. Their retail store has a huge selection of spirits and wines. Prices are slightly higher than some "Box" stores but if you sign up to be a CAP member,prices are reduced on some items. Their Warehouse Wine sale was super crowded in a separate warehouse with thousands of cases of wines at reduced prices. They did offer free tastings of many of the wines on sale . If you love wine Schaefers in definitely the place to go when in the Skokie area.

Go to the website to get hours & phone info, no hours listed but found a phone number. I called it but it went to a dead mailbox. Odd as it's been open a while. I waited 15min then left. I was not happy as I drove 30min to get something nice from here instead of Binnys. These guys have an impressive Tequila selection online and I wanted to see what they had in person. Ok, so 2nd visit. I was working down the street and it was early afternoon. I figure they have to be open. They were! First impressions were great as they guy working was super nice and gave me store hours etc, lol (10am-10pm). They have a VERY GOOD TEQUILA Selection!! I bought 3 bottles that I wanted to try. Here's the only odd part about this store. They literally have a wall of bottles I swear 15ft high?! You cannot even see what is up there. They have to get a lift and go up if you want something. But how do you know what is even there? The website doesn't show you stock of the specific stores so you can't tell that way either. Anyway, at least we have another great option for Tequila in the NW suburbs. They also told me they will be opening a Chicago location soon...

They do have some hard Cider choices that I'm a fan of in the walk in beer cave. Service was absolutely friendly and staff was very helpful. It's a quiet establishment too but I'm sure it's busier at different parts of the the day.

Fun menu of spirits and cocktails. I had a vodka flight for $7 which sampled 3 vodkas. My favorite was the vanilla. They offer some snack options and we went with a cheese plate that had a nice variety. All staff that we encountered were super friendly. Plenty of seating. Come check them out for a drink or buy a bottle to go.

Their Groupons offer Wine Tasting…read morespecials for 2 people or 4 people at a time and they do the tastings as a chocolate or popcorn pairing. One has to call ahead to book their day/time slot and provide the Groupon number to reserve. The tasting itself lasted about 2 hours as everyone got a Wine 101 class on top of the tasting. Jamie from D'Vine was extremely knowledgable in leading, spoke about wine in a very easy to understand way, and was able to answer any question thrown her way. We tasted 6 wines in which 4 were paired with chocolate. After the class was over, one got a take home bottle of wine AND chocolate truffles or popcorn. I highly recommend looking into D'Vine's experiences offered as my partner and I had a blast!

There was street parking available out front for us, but I could imagine parking would be tougher during the warmer months! This spot was fairly simple inside, with a variety of tables, exposed brewing machinery, and loosely golf-themed decor. The service was friendly and efficient, even though the space was pretty busy with a trivia night happening. We ordered two beers: their Schwarz beer and a Hazy IPA! Both tasted great. We also ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the Cheesesteak, which both came with a lovely serving of fries. The sandwiches were very tasty and the accompanying sipping sauces (Hot Honey and Chipotle Aioli) were awesome! Overall, a wonderful, no-frills spot for a bite and a sip! Nothing to blow your socks off, but also not much to critique! We would definitely return!

A kind of limited amount to choose from but these are well crafted. The prices are okay if a bit higher. Came in and we got a table so we could drink and eat. It's only got beers but you can bring in stuff. There's plenty of places within a fast walk. As for the beers here, the selection is kind of limited. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we got was the Sour Belgian Monkey Strong Ale. It's 9% ABV and certainly strong. For food we went to The Otherdoor. It's about $11 for a few tacos. Also Maevery Public House is next to here. There's lots of close by restaurants and stores. Have a good time with beers and games. It's just beers on the menu but you can still bring in stuff. They're open every weekday and open longer on weekends.

The restaurant was understaffed today, so getting menus or complimentary chips and salsa (tasty) took extra long. I ordered a Jamaica drink and flautas (2 duck and 2 chicken) and my friend ordered a taco salad. There were quite a lot of people who stopped in (as I said, many places were closed) and that added to our wait. My flautas came out covered with beans, lettuce and tomato and garnished with cheese and avocado. It was tasty but not what I was expecting. My friends taco salad was fine, although the shell was well done. I felt the food was pricey for what we ordered and it did take a while for them to bring our check and process our card. I saw a man sitting at a table alone and he still hadn't been acknowledged after 20 minutes. Our server was friendly and apologized for the wait but I could see several patrons getting visibly upset. With a Yelp check in you can receive guacamole but as we had already ordered, I saved it for next time.
