I am SO grateful this establishment is here in our town of Algonquin! The gals are personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about their vast selection of whiskey, wine, and trivia! My partner and I (early 30's) have been regulars for over a year. We look forward to trivia every Tuesday (and a few spontaneous nights between). You cannot beat the rotating wine tastings weekly and the charcuterie is killer! Made fresh to order every time!! Whether it's a special date night or a quick stop in, you are bound to have a fantastic drink (highly recommend the whisky sour) and some cheeky conversations with the lovely women work here! Kristi is truly dedicated to the business and has created a great space for the community to come together. We HIGHLY recommend you check out W&W! read more

Whiskey & Wine does exactly what its name promises -- and to its credit, it does those two things very well. The selection is deep, especially for whiskey, and it's a fun place to try bottles you're unlikely to run into elsewhere. There's a simplicity to the concept that works, though it comes with limits. No full bar and no food menu keep the experience fairly narrow, but if you come for a pour, a conversation, and a little exploration, it delivers exactly what it sets out to be. read more

This is perfect for brunch drinks! I got their mimosa tower and charcuterie board and everything was fresh and delicious. It is a bit on the pricier side but I like seeing more fine dining areas in Algonquin. Overall the quality was great and the drinks and snacks were fantastic! read more

Went there on a Tuesday night to meet friends that were already there. Was told by other people that I couldn't have a drink. I get the fact that they were going to close soon but the owner was working the bar and didn't even acknowledge us entering the place. Just ignored us and expected us to find out that she wouldn't serve us. I've been there MANY times and spent lots of money there. May never go back. read more

Whiskey and wine is one of the most unique spots I have been to. As the name implies, they serve whiskey and wine. The whiskey, which is why I was there, is displayed on six levels of shelving, has 3-4 prices on the bottles.... 1/2 Oz pour, 1Oz, 2oz, and a bottle price. They have many "common" bottles but also some more rare bottles. You pick what you want, the volume you want, and BAM! They also have a ton of wine available! This is such an awesome concept I came wait to be back again! read more

Whiskey and Wine is an awesome place to go! The bartenders are wonderful and the owner Kristi is fantastic! They have a huge selection of whiskey that you can try in their whiskey flights, as well as wine flights and tastings every Thursday! I love going for trivia on Tuesday nights at 7 pm, the vibes are awesome and it's definitely a fun time to go with your friends!! Would 10/10 recommend Whiskey and Wine! read more

Absolutely love this hidden gem! They don't have a kitchen but allow outside food from neighbors, is a bonus. We ordered from Cattleman's down the street and sat outside and overlooked the creek while drinking our wine flight. It's my understanding they have been under new ownership for almost a year and you can tell! Great bartenders that are super friendly and great service! Will be back often! read more

Great atmosphere, friendly service. Trivia night lots of fun. Every whiskey you can imagine.

This is a really cute place. Same owner as BOLD across the street. I had the mimosa flight which is well worth the money. The service was fantastic and the bartender was knowledgeable about all the whisky they had. I saw a couple of reviews with people complaining about kids not being allowed - this is absolutely NOT a place for kids whatsoever. So if you're looking for an adults only place to grab a few drinks (or a flight)- definitely check this place out. read more

We have been going here on and off since it opened. We love this place! For one, best bartenders around, they make the best old fashioned. Really well thought out flights of both wine and bourbon/whisky. Would totally recommend this place! read more

We've had the pleasure of spending many nights here and it never disappoints. The bartenders offer great whiskey recommendations as it can be intimidating to know which option to select from their sizable collection. John is our favorite wine guru. From weekly tastings to their blind tasting, we always discover something new that we love. Pro tip: go in back to find old school games that offer a fun atmosphere while you enjoy your drink. read more

I was looking forward to trying something I never had before. Really not much to try outside the basic $60 and under whiskeys you find on the shelf at Binny's any day. Service was terrible. Waited 10 minutes before some acknowledged me and there were only 6 people in the place. Prices are a little high for what the place is. Most likely this is a one and done for me. read more

Came here on a Saturday and just loved it. Don't come here looking for cheap prices: the prices are fair and they have some great stuff. I had EH Taylor and another (can't recall the name). The EH Taylor was fantastic. They also sell it for $125. Very nice wine selection and a comfortable place. I can't say we will be here often but we will be back. read more

I like this place. Rather small bar, few tables- the food is takeout from a place neighboring- so i have to take off for that, but drinks were cool. Nice ambiance- cool date night. read more

This is their old fashions. Please give a bigger pour for the price, and no pulp from an orange slice. Switch to a peel and one large ice cube... not 50. I'm not in Wisconsin. Ambiance and a good server make it 2 stars, not 1. read more

Whiskey And Wine - This is how much they fill their old fashions. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Not family friendly at all, in fact families are not allowed. We tried to do a wine tasting with friends and had our kids and friends kids in a stroller (4 kids younger than 2). We were asked to leave and felt embarrassed since we had friends visiting Algonquin for the first time, and specifically wanted to try this place. I honestly have no idea how this place hasn't taken the time to figure out how to be family friendly. I'm sure it will continue to be empty until they figure it out. I recommended the brewery near by or any other restaurant/bar in the area. read more

Went in to try and support a local business. I found this place to be overpriced and not really impressive. Pretty much just a wall of whiskey with average service. Seems like there was just an opportunity to try and nail locals for a place to stop. We felt guilty and bought some cocktails and left underwhelmed and disappointed. Algonquin will never be the next Geneva if they continue to keep the bar this low. Get decent businesses in here that make people want to come back! Booo! read more

We came here for our anniversary on a Monday. We had never been here before but it had a nice quiet feeling to it. Definitely perfect for a date or a time out with friends. We do prefer sweeter wines and flavored whiskey which they don't tend to carry but Brittany who works there, helped us find some things we enjoyed as well! What's really nice is while you're trying things they have a few sweets and/or charcuterie boards to accompany your experience. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and have def told our friends and family about this place and we hope they get a chance to try it out! read more

First time was amazing! I love the selection of whiskeys, I tried heavenly moon! I did the wine tasting as well. I really loved the selection for this week. Very good price for what you get! read more

We had been looking forward to trying this place since it opened. When we walked in it looks nice but nothing special. We told the server that it was our first time here and asked how it works. There was very minimal explanation but we were given a whiskey menu that we could choose tastings. The menu was extensive with many high quality whiskeys. We each ordered 4 1/2 oz tastings. After a few minutes we got one but had to ask the server which one it was. There weren't many people in the place as it was a mid Saturday afternoon. We never saw the server again. After 15 minutes we walked to the register where she was just standing. We paid $10 for the 1/2 oz shot of avg whiskey. This place has potential that is probably going to be unrealized read more

Great atmosphere. This is a Wine and Whiskey tasting bar. My husband chose the wine tasting for $29 and I did the whiskey which you pay for by in my case, the half ounce. $29 shark cutie boards. Sipping whiskey is not something you do everyday so it is a unique experience...something a little different to do. read more

Was really excited to see Whiskey AND Wine! Stopped in to get one of both, but it is only tastings. Very disappointing. We were in the door for a second and the taster didn't even explain what the concept was. Just started rattling about a tasting. Said it would take an hour. Which we didn't have time for. This concept is a reach. Place was dead on a Saturday evening. Just throw a few barstools up to the bar and add a couple of tables and give us a Whiskey and Wine Bar. And then...they will come. read more

So glad to have this new option in Algonquin to try out new wines. They offer a new tasting every week and although it is $25 for a tasting, it is quite a bit of wine. Interested to do a whiskey tasting in the future. read more

The whiskey and wine selection was excellent, along w the ambiance. The server was rude and ruined what would have been a great experience.
