Binny's Beverage Depot - Bloomingdale

My boyfriend and I came in here looking for a wine that we would like and it would be similar to our local winery we go to. We were approached by Gregory and he helped us out, showed us a similar wine and it was delicious! Thanks so much Gregory!

Great prices and I'm loving the new look! With the new overhang signs, I can find the drink options I need right away. Before everything blended in including the signs. Super happy to walk in now without feeling overwhelmed.

2nd time buying mead here for a celestial event. They haven't disappointed me yet

They all your sprite selection And very special top end section Very good cigars Good service

rude workers and cashiers here. don’t recommend, was specifically a woman with dyed and black hair that was my cashier this day. everything else in the store was great and great selection

Terrible customer service. They talk rude, fill up your orders incorrectly, and give you an attitude when you want it corrected. No apology for messing the order. Pricing for everything is higher than Woodman down the street.

Very well organized and helpful staff if you have trouble finding items. Very wide selection of liquor, wine and beer.

Very nice selection of different products. Sales staff helpful and friendly.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff even when it is busy. Great tastings on most Saturdays. If you can't find something they carry they will call other nearby stores to locate it for you. Always a good place for last minute gifts and good sales too.

Great verity of all the beer, liquor and spirits you can imagine. We picked up several LARGE bags of ice for the party we were throwing for my daughter's graduation from college. If in need and I'm not sure why you wouldn't be...stop by Binny's.

The people there are generally nice. Save for that women who looks like a crackhead at the register. Her bum ass needs to saddle down the standoffish attitude.

For my family there is a very specific reason for me to seek out a Binny's- Lithuanian beer. The Geneva location has maybe a few bottles of one brand once in a blue moon when it's in stock- and they just removed them from their shelves entirely! I have been left searching for alternative ways to feed my family and this location is definitely an instant favorite. When I got to the imported beer aisle I was greeted by 6 or 7 different Lithuanian beers- all very well stocked (before I got there anyways). While it was expired by over a month I am still grateful to find so much of it at once. Other than that the store had plenty of other options and was well laid out- exactly what you'd expect from a Binny's. The cashier was very nice and helped fit the total bottle chaos of my cart into boxes and sent me on my way. Definitely will return here

Last year, I witnessed a staff member call Bloomingdale PD on another patron for an over-the-top reason. They've lost my business as a result of their obviously poor "customer service."

This Binnys runs a shady operation. They constantly lie about their inventory. They hold limited releases off their floor instead of allowing first come first serve and then when pressed on why, they say "that's what they all do". Listen to me, this is NOT what all Binnys do. Naperville and Downers Grove do not operate like this. Do not support a store which treats limited release like a black market commodity.

I've been a weekly customer at this location for 10+ years. I've spent a good amount of money here on wine, whiskey, cigars as well as corporate and client gifts. The service here has worsened the past several of those years. I've seen employees literally go out of their way to avoid talking with customers. When you're lucky enough to corner one of them, they're curt and unprofessional. I've even had two employees engage in a personal conversation at the service desk while I waited for over 5min. Once they were done, they both looked in my direction then proceeded to leave the area without asking if I needed help. On another recent occasion, I've had a manager tell me that he didn't have what I was looking for BEFORE I could even ask my question, which happened to be completely unrelated. This place is a complete joke! No other Binny's location in the NW burbs has treated me so poorly. Perhaps that's because I've frequented the Bloomingdale location almost exclusively. -we'll that's over now. I'm happier supporting smaller local businesses who treat customers with respect and recommend that more people do the same.

I would expect to receive the same level of service at all the Binny's that I shop at in the area. All interactions have been positive except for the Bloomingdale location. The people at the Bloomingdale location are consistently misleading, evasive our outright dishonest about their limited release bourbon inventory. They asked me to get on the wait list (which I did) and when I check back their excuse is....you bought a bottle two months ago...we will call you when we get more in. This is after he admitted that they have inventory, but not on the floor/behind the counter. Other locations that I go to are much more accommodating. If they have the inventory, they make it available to purchase. Binny's Bloomingdale = poor customer service.

Thank you to Matt S., their customer service manager for the excellent service, and who goes the extra mile to take care of good customers. It is always a pleasure to go whiskey shopping for my husband at Binny's. Their recommendations and help are always top notch. Thank you! Thank you! and Thank You!

First the positive: Binnys offers a very nice, wide variety of wine. If you are looking for a certain type of wine, you may be able to spot an older very helpful and knowledgeable gent. This guy is great but he is not there all the time. I have been a customer of this business establishment for as long as I can remember. What year did they open? I've lived in Bloomingdale for 30 years. Now the negative. Yesterday at checkout I was treated as a bio-terrorist because my nostrils were showing. The mask was covering my mouth. But that was not good enough for the terrified middle-aged African American clerk. She signaled to the clerk who was tending to me that my nostrils were showing. In the past, this woman has refused to check me out. Instead walking away and making another clerk complete the transaction. Her fear and hysteria of exposed nostrils was evident. What if I was already vacinated? Didn't matter. Exposed nostrils are a deadly threat. So the male cashier demands that I cover my nose to complete the transaction. I said I can't breath under it. Only twice in a year have establishments mentioned exposed nostril but let it slide. Not this guy. COVER YOUR NOSE! I covered it. Then I blew into it making a loud honking sound. Then walked out without making a purchase. I will never step foot in any Binny again. Binny Management: You have permanently lost a customer and thousands of dollars of future revenue from her due to exposed nostrils and your hysterical employee's inability to deal with her irrational fear.

I think the kinks have been worked out and this Binny's is running rather smoothly now. Everyone working there on Saturday, September 22nd was helpful. I had tweeted @BinnysBev a week ago to inquire about what type of wine would go well with Filipino food. They gave me a recommendation and I was trying to pull up the conversation on my smartphone as I walked in the door. Before I could find what I was looking for, a woman greeted me at the front of the store and soon there after another employee tried to help me. That's when they directed me to Wine Information. They didn't carry it what I came for, but they looked it up and told me Schaumburg had it. I wasn't looking to go out of my way, so the older gentleman who was working Wine Information helped me find a similar wine. He even taught me a thing or two about Rieslings. He made me want to buy all the different bottles he pointed out just to compare them. I wasn't able to get what I originally came for, but I have noticed the selection seems to rotate a bit. If I can't find something one visit, it will sometimes pop up the next time. Usually, I'll find a suitable replacement. The Downers Grove location is still my favorite and quite convenient, but on days I'm not in that area, I won't think twice about popping into Binny's - Bloomingdale if I'm nearby.

I have been shopping here for a number of years and have always had a good experience. Binny's prices are great and so is the selection! The last few years I have become increasingly interested in wines and the periodic tastings they have are just amazing. The wine staff go out of their way, especially Don, to see how we are enjoying the tasting and what are the ones we like best. The staff also supplies bread to cleanse the palate between tasting, which is really important with the number of wines available at the tastings.

This store is huge - it's an old Office Depot (and I think a long time ago, Best Buy) - it's everything you'd expect from a Binny's - large selection of beers and wines, good prices and fairly knowledgeable wine and beer staff. They have some smart fellas that work the beer aisles and we often get into good discussions on IPAs and they can suggest something for me to try and I'll normally have something they haven't tried. The lot is a bit tricky with a few entry points but don't let it deter you.

They have the largest selection of German beer. Appreciate how helpful every employee has been. Wish they would stay open later.

I was in charge of chips & salsa for a pumpkin carving party last weekend. My lovely sister was invited a little last minute and was following me over to our friends' home. I recalled hearing some friends talking about the new Binny's store and that we HAD to check it out, blah blah. So, I called my sister in the car behind me and said, let's stop and pick up some "liquid beverages" for our gracious hosts. She agreed Binny's would be a good place to try and down Army Trail we went. Kinda an awkward location because it's not the easiest to get into and out of if you are heading Eastbound on Army Trail but they do have a great big parking lot. You have to turn on the side street East of the building to go in the entrance near the rear of the building and then drive back around....I can see this being confusing for people that aren't familiar with the area. Back to the oversized parking lot. I can see them hosting events in this parking lot. It was a lot larger than necessary for a liquor store, but that's great for the clients. Way better than having a lot too small. The store it huge. Kinda crazy that they are a liquor store and not a grocery store. We were pretty much in and out, so I didn't look around much, but it appeared they had a lot of selection but not a lot of stock of each item. In fact, we got the last of one of the items we purchased. We knew what we wanted when we got there and walked right up to the customer service counter for direction in stead of wandering about looking for specific items. The gentleman behind the counter pointed us in the right direction for the first item we asked about and then was kind enough to walk us to the section we needed when we inquired about the second item. Other than the blinding sun at the register/check out at 5:30, it was a fine trip. I would go back. I'm sure I will soon.

A large and in charge Binny's (side note, I swear I do more in life than drink beer). We stopped in on the way home from my future in-laws. It's a bustling environment, but while browsing we got asked at least 4 times if we needed help with anything. The staff seems to know their stuff and want to flex their knowledge. They almost crossed the line of being a little annoying (I mean we were only there 15 minutes, and 4 asks to help is a lot), but really, there is way worse problems in life! We just stuck to the beer section, which was huge, but it looks like the wine section is even bigger. If you want selection and customer service, this is a good place to go.

A couple weeks ago, our Wine Club (Que Syrah, Syrah), attended the Bloomingdale Binny's Fall New Releases Wine Tasting event. The tasting is FREE with a Binny's card, but don't think for a minute that free means not very good. Come with a group, or come alone, there are always plenty of wine lovers just waiting to talk with you about their favorite subject. There were 7 Tables with 6 wines to taste on each. Wines from all over the world with varied costs from $8 - $150 were offered by professional table hosts. As usual, Wine Manager David Poweska's knowledgeable and friendly staff was everywhere, helping customers with whatever they needed. There was a wine for everyone, whether you are new to wine tasting or a seasoned professional. We will be going again this Friday

This place has whatever you are looking for. Great selection on beer.price is competitive with others.

I wish the had a beverage depot in my state I found this place to be over run with liquor it was great .... they had every kind of liquid I wanted and more. I had to control myself and stop at a 3 bottle limit....

Recently lost my drivers license while traveling abroad and was given a paper copy from the DMV while I wait for my new physical copy in the mail. I have been carrying around a copy of my passport just in case I ran into any trouble. Bars and other retail shops have had no problem accepting the temporary paper copy as it is an official document. The customer service manager denied me any shopping rights at this location since I "did not have my old ID with a hole in it". I am 24 and told him that my old ID was lost and had my passport copy, voters card, Credit cards, etc but I was still turned away. Terrible customer service.

My husband and I have just recently started going to Binny's 's for their wine tastings. We enjoy going from table to table with so many great selections and information about each of the wines, especially helpful now with holiday tastings. We enjoy meeting our friends there and have great conversations over the tastings as many of our friends are more experienced in the origin location, makers, quality and variety of wines. The management (Don) always circulates throughout the tastings tables and is helpful especially when it's a busy night.We have been customers of Binny's for many years and it has always been our go to for the best selection and price for beers wines etc.

Has your beer or wine pallet suddenly matured from $3 wine and Natty Light to a delightful IPA and a Merlot of the fancy kind? If so, then you must go to Binny's. Who knew there were so many choices! My only complaint is that I wish it was open later. They close at 9pm Monday through Saturday and at 6 on Sundays! There are times my boyfriend and I are rushing to Binny's or making it our first stop before going anywhere else just to make sure we get the good stuff before it's too late. Sure, I could go to a regular liquor store with the nondescript name, but they don't always have the selection Mr. Binny does (I like to imagine Binny is a a cool dude, chillin' in a velvet recliner, smoking a cigar and having a delicious craft beer of some kind. Is it weird that I just personified Binny? Sorry. Back to the review) There are rows and rows of beers, wines, and liquors from everywhere! Even if you narrow it down to just beer, which is what I do, you could seriously spend 20 minutes in there looking at all the different kinds of beer. Yeah you could come here and get your Bud Light Lime but it's almost a shame to do that when you have so many options that you can't get at a Jewel. It's a craft beer lover's dream! This Binny's had Two Bro's Outlaw IPA in cans, a beer which was not previously available for purchase in stores. Picked me up some of that along with some bombers of Three Floyds' beer. What is helpful about Binny's is the descriptions they have under their lesser known beers so you can get an idea of what the taste will be like. This is a great resource when you are trying to venture out and try different beers so you don't end up buying a beer that is going to be super hoppy if that's not your thing. The staff is also great because they can actually offer you some good suggestions rather than saying, "Yeah dude. It looks like it would be cool." For example, since Gumballhead is never available anywhere, you can ask which beers are similar to Gumballhead, and they'll lead you right to one. Takes a knowledgeable staff to be able to do that. Besides going to breweries, going to Binny's is the next best way to explore the ever-growing world of craft beer. I always make it my mission to get something different (but I do get some of my faves too, just in case).

I went there to get a Mother's Day gift for my mom. I got her a nice bottle of Champagne. This was my first time at this location and will never go to it again. I got carded for looking at the alcohol by some rude older gentleman. There was plenty of younger looking people in the store, but he sought me out to check my ID. I felt profiled like I was an underaged person looking to steal a 60 dollar bottle of champagne. Like what? Let me shop in peace and check my ID at the register like they did for everyone else at the store. I did get my ID checked at the register again by the cashier.

This review is for the beer section only, i am not a wine drinker. This place has a fantastic beer selection, better than the Binny's in Schaumburg. Tons of craft beers from local breweries and breweries all over the world. One of my favorite features is the build your own 6 pack. The choice is somewhat limited, but not small at all, a lot of well known and not so well known craft beers. It's a great way to try out new kinds without having to get a 6 pack or large bottle. Their selection changes pretty frequently, they don't always carry the same beers by the same brewery, but a lot of that depends on what's in season. Sometimes on the weekend they have beer tasting, which is always fun. I was there when a small brewery from California came out to sample their beers. It was cool hearing about their brewing process while tasting the different kinds, my cousin ended up buying 2 different varieties before we left. If you are interested in drinking better beer, this is a fantastic place to start. I also recommend visiting the page of BeerAdvocate so you can see what type of glassware would compliment the particular type of beer you picked out - it's amazing what the right glass can do!

I mean... You can't go wrong with a spot that has everything alcoholic you would want. From wines to liquors you'll be sure to get your buzz on from there. Prices were pretty reasonable, too. Does Illinois have ABC stores like they do in Virginia? I was able to pick up some coconut flavored Tyku and was able to pregame before the wedding reception. Mission accomplished.

I love Binny's and think they are just awesome. You kind of can't go wrong here. I have never NOT been able to find what I'm looking for and usually an extra bottle/case or 2 of something. This is 1 of the only Binny's I've been to, but I believe it is larger than other locations. The staff is really friendly and will always ask if you need help finding something in particular. There are usually 1-3 cashiers so there is almost never a wait. I signed up for their rewards/points program, and they send helpful emails about specials/sales.

I am less than impressed with this particular Binny's, and even that may be an understatement. For a wine store, its selection is not that exciting, but I get the impression the shoppers in this area are more hard liquor fans than sophisticated wine drinkers. I'm not trying to offend - I just don't see many people shopping for wine in this store. What's more disappointing, however,is the staff's complete lack of knowledge about wine. I've sought assistance several times and it always seems the staff is guessing when they answer my questions. And I've yet to have a staff member direct me to a truly great wine. The last time I went to this Binny's, my boyfriend and I waited 10 minutes to speak to the ONLY person in the store who knew anything about wine. It seems to me that just about every employee in Binny's should have a very strong working knowledge of the products it supposedly specializes in... If you're looking for great wine and helpful staff, I suggest Cabernet and Co. in Glen Ellyn. Well worth the drive!

Huge store. Disappointing wine selection. Gigantic selection of hard liquor. It seems to me that they should get some guidance on wine selection from their other stores. Although maybe that's not what sells in Bloomingdale. Either way, it's very convenient for me, but not worth the stop.

There really isn't much to say about Binny's that native Chicago drinkers haven't said before. Binny's is the goto place for beer, wine, and alcohol. They have great prices and a wide selection of just about everything. Any time we're in the area we make sure to check Binny's out because we're sure that we're going to find some great sales. Craft beers that I've only heard about on the radio can be found here as well as off the wall whiskeys and gins. This should be a definite stop for anyone passing through the Chicago area.

They have Tiger Beer!!! If a beverage store has Tiger Beer and halfway decent wines, I'm happy. So I'm happy. They have such an incredible selection of wines, liquors and beers. They're pretty well stocked throughout the week but of course they run dry closer to restock time, which is Thurs/Fri for future reference. Clean, friendly, well stocked.

This is the Binny's closest to my home in Carol Stream, and it's the best. David and Don in wine take such good care of their customers that they have cultivated regulars. A tip for wine tasters-- Binny's has free tastings and they are actually great! The tastings there are always well organized and curated, you can tell a lot of thought goes in to it. I only buy my booze at Binny's.

I normally don't write reviews for chain stores. But I have been buying cigars from this binneys along with a few other locations for years. They have a really well stocked humidor and an impressive wine department. The staff is usually well informed and can make good recommendations. If you are a hard liquor drinker then you will be better off at Costco. However if you are looking for something new to try the variety here can't be beat.

Ah yes, the old Best Buy (right)? It's just like other Binny's I've been too so nothing out of the ordinary. A large warehouse with aisle after aisle of alcohol. Was kind of in a rush to get somewhere so was in & out pretty quick and didn't look around but seems there was plenty to choose from. Didn't seem like there were too many employees working this Saturday evening but the ones who were there were friendly & helpful. One even decided to chime in on our discussion about Anna Faris. It was clear he was not too thrilled by her talent. I think she looked better with the black hair in Scary Movie. Note to self: Next time around, check to see if they have beer brewing items.

Huge selection, Always clean and organized, An employee always asks me if I need help when I'm there, and I always leave happy! What more is there to say. Thanks Binny's!

If there is a law I am unaware of or a sign I missed, then I will retract this review. Had a small family get together. Sent my daughter (23) and her boyfriend (24) to buy the alcohol. Daughter didn't have her ID but boyfriend was paying anyway. They refused to sell to him bc she didn't have ID also. They go home to get her ID. She stupidly left it in her cousins car so couldn't get it quickly. Sent just the boyfriend back. They would not sell to him bc he didn't bring my daughters ID with, even though she wasn't even there. I suggested he ask for the manager and was informed the manager is the one who told them. I understand if the manager thought something was up. But to handle it in that way is not very professional. Maybe there is a sign that says anyone in the store MUST have ID, even if they're not buying anything??? I find it hard to believe. If she was 8 years old would this have happened? I only gave the 2 stars because the true fact is they had all of the various alcohols we were looking for.

ANY liquor store that actually has a "craft beer" section is the liquor store for me. To be completely honest, I breeze right past the wine and liquor sections here so I can't tell you much about them. What I can tell you is this: There is an awesome selection of craft brews here, whether you like bottles, cans, choose-your-own sixers, or bombers. They also make "best of" collections sometimes too (located right around the corner from the cooler)...I loved their "Hop Lovers Six Pack" and "The Best of the Midwest" sampler around this Xmas. AND, if you call up before you go, you can have an employee pull stuff for you and hold it in the back so you can snag the last packs. One tip for craft beer lovers: I really don't want to tell you this because I want all the Alpha King for myself, but if you want to snag some 3F, you've got to go here on Fridays (and to the Glen Ellyn one on Tuesdays) when they get their shipments. They also have Half-Acre here (the Glen Ellyn one does not). You're welcome.

How does anyone review a Binny's? Alcohol, lots of it, everywhere, of every variety you could ever want. BOOM! There's your review. With this specific location I will say that the employees are very helpful and knowledgable about the million different things you can select from. Don't forget to sign up for a membership! Prices can be significantly lower on some items with that magic card. Other than that, there's not much left to say...I could complain a little. I get that they need to card the crap out of us all, but they go a little too far at times. "I've seen your driver's license and military ID, but do you by chance carry your passport with you young lady?" LOL Get out of here.

This place is somewhat of an alcohol heaven. They have so many different types of craft beers, wine and liquor that is a bit overwhelming. I like that they have an extensive flavored vodka selection. I won't talk too much about this place for fear of sounding like a lush. If you are in the area, check it out! Oh, and sign up for their free store card. They offer discounted prices when you have a card.

I love this location! All the employees and very friendly and knowledgable about the product. Every Saturday they also do different kind of samplings. I won't go anywhere else for my liquor!

I have been to many Liquor stores, cigars shops & other Binnys locations but Bloomingdale Binnys knows there stuff! Honestly everyone in every department can answer any questions you throw at them. I've been shopping here for many years and have been satisfied each & every single time and keep coming back for more. The staff is top notch, Jeanie, Charlie, Jack & Joseph (tobacconist). They treat you like family and always have a smile on their faces willing to go above & beyond. Thank you!!

Huge selection of hard liquor and beer. I wish their wine selection was larger. They definitely have the size because this is the biggest Binny's I have been to. The staff is very helpful and attentive. During the holidays on a Friday after work they had 5 liquor sample stations; one had rum complimented with a food station!

Huge selection of beer/wine/liquor. Whatever tickles your alcoholic fancy, they're sure to have it . The fridge is fully stocked with a large assortment of refreshing brews from your typical Bud Light/Blue Moon/312 to various beers such as Wheach/Angry Orchard/Grapefruit Beer (I forgot the name of it though). I did see a Strawberry Apple Cider that I'm interested to try. See you again soon Binny's!!!

We went to an Italian Wine Tasting there recently, and it was fabulous. We learned a ton, and everyone was very knowledgeable. We will definitely be buying all our wine and gifts here from now on! Great prices, too!

Got here with 3 minutes to close and the guy closed the door in my face. That wasn't nice and you just lost what was a loyal customer. Keep it up bud

CONSUMERS BEWARE! One purchase of product transaction was processed twice by Binny's. The Binny's "CORPORATE?!" response was it should not have been accepted by bank it was presented to, even though Binny's clearly processed transaction twice and was paid twice... This is not ethical, a very poor reflection on Binny's! Michael G

Was pleased with the store and staff. Lots of booze, will order what's not in stock, no complaints!

Binny's is the best liquor store anywhere! I ran an errand for my wife this evening; she needed a bottle of Smirnoff Watermelon vodka in order to make "Jolly Rancher" drinks after work tomorrow. On the way out of the store, I dropped the bag, with just the result you'd expect. The broken glass was contained entirely within the bag, so I picked it up and put in it in the garbage can- the only trace of my idiocy that remained was a 15-foot watermelon-scented drip trail that led from my car back to the store. I intended to purchase another bottle, but the cashier went out of her way to check with the manager, and I was comped! The manager took pains to verify that I hadn't left a pile of broken glass outside her store (also to verify that I wasn't some sort of low-life scam artist- she went spelunking in the garbage can to verify that the cap wasn't off the bottle). Binny's is a few miles from home, but it will be my go-to liquor store!

Wonderful variety and always well stocked, and their prices are extremely competitive. Very friendly and helpful staff too. They often have samples on Saturdays and occasionally other special events. Highly recommended!

Love this store but especially the staff. Recently went there shopping wines for a Christmas party and everyone was very helpful. However the coup de grâce was when I needed a special hard to find beverage. The woman at the front desk ( sorry I didn't get her name ) was so efficient and friendly. She immediately contacted the sales rep and said that she would place my order.Mind you, other stores said that it would be an "impossible find." But 2 weeks later I got the call that my order was in and I picked it up that night. Superior service, huge inventory to choose from and a great staff to assist you.
