Binny's Beverage Depot - Lincoln Park

I loved Binnys. Great selection. They don’t do it like this where I’m from. I got a pack of Two Chicks seltzers (vodka elderflower YUM) and a small bottle of espresso martini. So yum. Staff was super nice and complimented my outfit. Also there’s a nice skyline view from the parking lot.

Can buy crates of drinks of your choice. The tasting counter on one side and a bar on the other.

This is the biggest liquor store I ever visited. I was looking for a non- alcohol 🍸 Tequila. There are a entire aisle for non-alcohol liquors. The staff are friendly and very attentive. They have a whole section for champagnes 🍾. Very clean place and very organized too. There is a large wine cellar 🍷at the middle of store. You can find a lot of varieties nationalities of liquors, wines and champagnes. I was really impressed with this liquor store.

Visited from OKC. Variety of every thang, spent $200 on drinks for 75th Bday party.

One of the finest joints to imbibe and it's empty. Got the place to myself for Bears game. They have bourbon county on tap, bruhv!!!! We like that sheeiiit.

First of all, you can never go wrong with Binny's. If you want something, they have it. Their associates are very helpful. Thumbs up to Violet for her assistance last visit. Secondly, any Binny's that has Cheech and Chong at their establishment goes above and beyond customer service. We met the two legends, took some pictures and did some shopping. We enjoyed our afternoon. Excellent deals, great customer satisfaction, and an awesome meet with two very special people. Thanks for the memories... Keep on keepin' on, man.

Best Binny's in the city and it's not even close... The store is always super clean, the selection is endless, and the staff are always happy to provide great recommendations. It doesn't matter if it's New Year's Eve or Super Bowl Sunday or just a random Tuesday afternoon - the staff is on top of it and the checkout lines are always moving

I was able to order a case of some that I wanted and picked up at the store. It was easy to pick up, and it was ready when I expected it. They do offer more mezcal than before, some at good prices and the ones I liked were much more but a good selection of it. They have all kinds of drinks, tequila, mezcal, whisky, vodka, beer, wine, champaign, and much more. They have free parking right in front. You can use a cart to purchase what you're looking for. They do take credit as well as cash.

I used to frequent the South Loop location but now that i'm no longer in that area, I decided to finally check out this location and I can definitely say that this location is amazing. The parking lot is fairly large and the Binny's itself is pretty huge. And as always, prices are fantastic. They have a "tasting" room all the way in the back where they host events - i think you can also grab a drink there as well. The staff were helpful - at one point we had 3 staff members helping us find a whiskey! I'm looking forward to more stops at this location!

I love that at Binny's they don't mark up their liquor like small independent ones. The same bottle at my local store would be more than double than what Binny's charges. Their selection of all things liquor is great and the knowledge of all their staff is wonderful.

AMAZING!! A must stop location in Chicago. Champagne lover? Bourbon lover? How about some French wine? HERE

Absolute garbage customer service at this Binny's location. I'll never come back. I engaged with three different associates, and every one of them acted as if I was a total burden. Needed some orgeat and could only find one huge bottle. I asked a guy who was about 10' away. Here's how that conversation went: ME: Hey, I was noticing online you had some other brands and smaller sizes of orgeat, but I can't find them. Can you help? HIM: You've got the wrong location on your phone. You've got Lakeview. This is Lincoln Park. ME: Oh, okay. Sorry. Must have tapped the wrong one. HIM: Yeah, the other brands will be on the shelf right next to the one you found. If they aren't there, we don't have them. ME: Uh, okay. HIM: (gets back to his real job) I managed to find another brand on my own, thanks bro. The guy in the wine department at least tore himself away from the computer long enough to point out a particular bottle I was after but couldn't find, but not without a snide comment about how it was RIGHT HERE; and a tone that suggested I was worthless. Which, you know, I probably am. Cool, thanks bro. The woman at the checkout was clearly miserable. I bought an extra measuring shot glass - which I had to wrap with protective green netting myself because she needed to get back to a pressing conversation with another employee at checkout. The glass would be next to a bunch of other glass bottles in the bag so, I figure a little protection couldn't hurt. Generally when you buy even a single piece of glassware at any store, they'll wrap it for you in something. Here? Can't be bothered. Pro Tip: Have a sign at the door that says "If you can't find what you're looking for it's probably because you're a moron." LOL

Just went here to check out the bar inside of this binny's! The bartender was so nice and so fun and had some fun stories to tell :) The menu was huge and the flights were so fun! And then you can just walk to the store part and buy anything you tried! So fun :)!

Never ever order curbside pickup because it will never be ready even 3 hours later you in the store asking them about it they're still not ready. What was the point of a convenient of a curbside pickup if nobody look at the messages from the machine or whatever they get there order from. It's so frustrating but I always give them benefit of the doubt and still failed today I'm still waiting and it's been 2 hours smdh.. this is just doing Portage Park I am not sure about stores and other location.

I delivered all their products years ago and a fantastic company when i knew Harold Binstein !!!!

I LOVE Binny's¡! When I was more...financially viable, I would make it a day & hop between the VARIOUS Binny's locations throughout Chicagoland, starting @ the most Northern option, I would jump between SEVERAL locations, very happy that CTA/Pace/Metro...were the options to get me through, with me being able to find my..."tipsy" way home.!. ‍ Niambi Ife

I visited Binny's today and had a wonderful experience. I was greeted by a worker named Violet who found someone who helped me find the perfect bottle of wine. She also provided me with two T-Shirts and other gifts as souvenirs when I informed her that I was from Oklahoma and looking for Chicago memorabilia. As we were leaving, she ran out to our car to give us the souvenirs. If this is how all of their employees take care of their customers, I will definitely be visiting again when I visit Chicago.

Binnys is a great place to get beverages. BUT go there in person. Don't even think about getting delivery. They use Instacart, one of the most customer-unfriendly services around. Instacart drivers (the male ones) act like real d***s. Today, a driver wouldn't bring the package inside my apartment. He was at the door and wouldn't come in. So I called Instacart customer service. They said they would send a replacement order. The next driver did bring the package inside. But then wanted to scan the barcode on my driver's license. The barcode contains, among other things, your social security number and your traffic records. No reason for Instacart to have that info. In the past, the driver would enter my birthday manually. This driver wouldn't do that. So he took my order and left. I called Instacart customer support, and they refused to explain WHY they needed my SSN and traffic records. SO, go to Binny's! Get good beverages! Just AVOID INSTACART!!!

This is the biggest Binny's I've ever seen, and probably the biggest liquor store I've ever seen too in fact. The main room is enormous, with tons of wine, beer and liquors of all descriptions. Their high-end spirits and wine rooms are awesome to look around too. But don't stop there! The next room i all champagne and other sparkling wines. Super cool! Then there are tasting and class areas. Then after that is their indoor beer garden. the place just keeps going! In non-COVID times, the beer garden is awesome and gives you a chance to taste a bunch of different and rare beers. It's close now due to the pandemic, however, which sucks. But definitely give it a try when things get back to normal.

Came in to get a couple boxes since I am moving and I collect bottles. The lady at the front said no because they buy them from the distributor. Biggest lie, my girlfriend used to work at Binnys and was a manager for 5 years.

Amazing liquor, wine, and beer shop. The selection is crazy. Prices aren't nuts. And the beer selection (which you can mix and match) is full of local crafts and other specialty brews.

I always pick up beverages and other supplies for my son's business so I visit Binny's Beverage Depot on a regular basis. Each time, I am more than pleased. The Lincoln Park neighborhood store is very easily accessed. Just off of North Avenue, they provide a spacious parking lot. It's quick and simple to get in & out. Inside, Binny's has a fresh new look. It's been updated and is attractive and bright. It has the same layout with new floors and paint. It is still so spacious and offers great displays for sales or specialty items. I'm always greeted as I enter and exit. That's a nice touch. The floor staff are in abundance. I never have to search for someone if I have a question. Check out is a breeze. They have changed they layout here with the renovation and it really works. One queue leads to several cashiers. A man called me over and took out my heavy items for me. The cashier was so friendly and helpful. She made small talk as she efficiently rang me up. She also asked if I needed assistance to my car. Shopping at Binny's, I know I will find what I need at great prices in a spacious and attractive store. I also know my business is appreciated by the kind and professional staff.

Binny's is so terrific. They're all like a Costco for alcoholics. This location is probably my second favorite that I have been to (the one in South Loop on Jefferson is terrific). I don't really drink liquor (although my sister found some rum drinks that you freeze and then thaw, and she loved them). But it's the beer, oh the beer. All the beer. I don't think there's a brewery in Illinois that isn't represented here if it cans or bottles its beer. Certainly every brewery in the Chicagoland area is here. They have an entire aisle for each region of the country and two for Illinois/Chicago. The choices are almost endless. They even get a lot of West Coast stuff that you can't get other places in the Midwest. The employees are courteous, helpful and generally knowledgeable about their products. The store is spacious and clean and everything is very reasonably priced. And Binny's locations have their own parking lots, usually fairly spacious ones, so you don't have to worry about how to drag a case or two of beer back to your car. Yeah, this is a must-stop if you want to snag some drinks to have for your stay in Chicago. Try beers from Revolution and Maplewood, just to start with.

2020 has definitely been the year of stocking up on whiskey and wine and Binny's is definitely the easiest place to go for the widest selection and best deals. Apparently for the hard to find whiskeys they have some sort of waiting list you can get on, but it seems difficult from what I hear (or rather read from Reddit). The last time I went I was specifically looking for a Ridge zinfandel and they just happened to have a whole display for Ridge wines, it was meant to be. They also have a pretty good sake selection for a big store liquor store. Better priced than Mitsuwa for sure. They need to stock Dassai though.

Went in to see what local selections were available, a few nice local craft breweries products on the shelves, but sadly none of the smaller local distilleries I'd hoped to see while in the area.

A hard-to-find bottle of bourbon showed up on social media at the store. I called to see if they had it and they said that unfortunately they were sold out. Keisha actually called me back to let me know that they had found one remaining bottle, which she told me to come in for! To find someone like Keisha who was sympathetic to my situation and went out of the way to make my day and week was amazing. So thankful for real people who care about the customer. Thanks to Keisha and thanks Binny's Lincoln Park!

Super greedy management. Don't support local breweries or spirits companies. As a consumer you can get low prices, but there is a way they get these prices and that is being very manipulative to the brands. The staff is generally helpful but the main whisky buyer is less than ethical.

We recently had our daughter's post wedding party at The Dank Haus, and had Binny's do the alcohol delivery for the event. I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable and helpful, worker Vanelphia was, to make the party perfect! She had great wine, beer and liquor suggestions, for the different ages and our price points. They delivered to the hall and we will be using Binnys for all our small or large parties, now on!

Binny's Beverage Depot on Marcey is still a fine place to visit if you are shopping for something fun to drink. My love and I came here with our friends a few months ago for an enjoyable tasting event. The main space provides great atmosphere as we met numerous reps and sampled their wide array of adult beverages. Visit Binny's and you are sure to walk away with something that you will enjoy later.

This Binny's is vast and they have a crackerjack staff to guide you to your selection. It's great for people who don't drink wine frequently because the floor staff knows all the price points and producers. Most of the wine I buy goes into cooking. Wine really takes your homemade sauces to the pro level. You will want to drink a glass of sauce -- it's so good. Their beer selection will make your head spin too. I was after a chocolate stout and the guy showed me what seemed like a dozen varieties. Big bottle sold singly to 6-packs. They have a lot of beer from microbreweries. Binny's is like an Amazon warehouse of booze. Cashiers and floor staff are pleasant. They have a rewards membership program. Parking is easy and ample.

This is a pretty legit liquor store. I've been to Chicago many times but never come here. This will be our GO TO spot for our drinks from now on. We came here this weekend for the Goose Island Black Friday release. It was well worth the trip from Vegas

Binny's Lincoln Park has come through once again! They were able to procure for me a wide variety of delectable and very hard-to-find spirits for the best prices in the market - and with a level of service that's impossible to match. Binny's associates and managers are excellent when it comes to service, but the staff at this location really sets the bar. Still, it's not only their service that's exceptional - their expertise on various spirits is unparalleled. Whenever you're looking to make any spirits purchases, by all means reach out to Lincoln Park to get their informed suggestions, and they will without a doubt be able to help you!

What can one say about Binny's that hasn't already been said? Its the 400 pound gorilla of Chicago's booze retail landscape, but they still have great prices and massive selection. The original home of Sam's is one of the Binny's I regularly frequent. They have a strong whiskey selection, lots of craft and imported beer, wines for miles, and a gigantic Champagne room. There is also a cheese and charcuterie station, with a solid selection of cheese and cured meats. Saturdays and most Sundays wine and possibly beer and booze is available for tasting. If free liquor has not sated you, venture past the Champagne room to their airy and inviting bar and event space where you can sip cocktails and wash away any doubts you had about buying that $300 Bordeaux or Single Malt you were eyeing.

Very friendly...huge place Anastacio at the cigars is very friendly. Engaging, knowledgeable and informative. Not too suprised he is a former Marine. Even informed us of special events and the smoking section I didn't know they had before. Semper fi brother.

Incredibly disappointed with Binny's Lincoln Park. We are hosting a graduation party and ordered beer and wine for delivery. THEY CHARGED US $70 FOR DELIVERY, EXACTLY DOUBLE WHAT WAS QUOTED TO US! When I called to inquire why the delivery charge was so high, they were unable to give any good reason (other than that they were ripping us off) and were unwilling to make any accomodations once brought to their attention. With so many other liquor stores out there, why would I want to spend my $ at Binny's?! VERY uncool. We will no longer support a business that would use deceptive practices like this! Shame on you, Binny's!

By far the largest Binny's location I've been to in Chicago. Excellent selection from liquor, to wine, to craft beer... they got just about everything imaginable in stock. This location has a pretty big parking lot so no need to worry about paying or looking for street parking. And also has an entire section dedicated to champagne. After browsing through some pics, I just noticed there's also a tasting room just beyond the champagne section. Dang this place is huge. Anyways, be sure to sign up for a Binny's membership to get sales price on sale items (it's a free membership). And after sometime, you get $10 credit back after spending a certain amount that's good for anything in store. 'Til next time, cheers!

I will begin here, I have been to two different Binny's locations both have been spot on. I was looking for a particular beer that released last month. I searched everywhere. Finally, after extensive searching I found it. This location in Lincoln Park was the go to location. I placed my order for in store pick up. Waited for my email for in store pick up. Once I got there, I was greeted as soon I walked in. Very clean location. Hands down of the best Binny's I have been too. Friendly staff. The in store pick up was a smooth transition. The store is fully stock with everything you could possibly need. I found some items I haven't seen in other stores. I am glad I made the trip to this location. Thank you. I do recommend this location and I will be back soon. Thank you Binny's. I salute you.

Binny's is like a toy store for adults. What's even better, is that they give you free samples. I don't recall my toy store giving you free toys, do you? Additionally, they have a tasting room that's bigger than any bar I've been to. The staff is friendly, offer you a taste, and the prices are very reasonable. So, put me on your Christmas list, and pop in here to buy me something delicious.

You know when you find that special spot.... That little nook in your guy's arm you want to curl up inside of.... Or that killer angle for taking your hottest selfie.... Maybe it's that special ingredient you needed to make your sous vide steak perfection. Binny's in Lincoln Park is all of that for me. Does this show I have problems? For sure. But do I give a flying hoot? Heck nah! This Binny's is an adult's candy store full of everything and anything you could possibly drink that has even the smallest dash of liquor in it. I think I spent 30 minutes slowly going up & down the craft beer aisles trying to take it all in and attempting to limit myself to buying just a few things. I did pretty well on this first trip just buying 2 bombers, 2 6 pack and one mix & match 6 pack. They have a fabulous collection of craft beers, domestic sludge and some fun international beers, as well as malt beverages and hard fruit drinks. It's pretty cool because the beer is divided by region but that also made it a bit more confusing in finding certain things. Also, there were some things in their advertisement such as a mixed 12 pack of Deschutes that was supposed to be on sale but was nowhere to be found. Most of the store seems to be made up of wine & hard liquor so if those are your things, then there are a ton of selections for you. It ain't mine, so I didn't pay it much mind. There is a huge, really cool section they call the Champagne Depot, which is really more of a Champagne ballroom because it's so big. I have some girlfriends that love the bubbly so I know where to go now to get them some special fizzy stuff. If you walk through these rows upon rows of bottles, past the champagne room, you come to the crowning jewel of this Binny's which separates it from all the rest. Their amazing taproom. The tasting room at Binny's is in a massive area which was formally Lincoln Park Pumping Station built in 1905 and has been completely renovated. This is not a normal tasting room...it features RARE craft beers. I had two flights of beers I had never tried before and each flight of 4 was just $12. One beer that was in my tasting of 8? Goose Island's very sought after Bourbon County Barleywine 2013. Delicious and totally random that it was on tap. I was such a happy girl that I could not stop gushing! To boot, the bartender was such a nice lady! She was eager to help and answered all my questions. I was sad this space could not be rented out because I thought it would be amazing for various events. She said they do host special Binny's events in the taproom though. The tasting room has prohibition newspapers blown up and framed which I found fascinating, as well as old wooden beer crates and barrels. The decor goes really well with the wooden table, over-sized comfy brown chairs, wood paneling and flooring & insanely high ceilings with brick everywhere, even brick inside of a drain pipe up high. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and just felt at peace hanging out here. If you want to sit outside in the fresh air, they even have a sweet patio to relax on. So let's recap (and add a few sections I haven't yet mentioned)~ -Walk in humidor for cigar folks -Wine cellar with fancy expensive wines & liquors that is locked & you must have someone open for you -Tons of craft beer, hard liquor, and wines (most weekends they have someone doing samples) -Largest selection of sakes & sojus I've ever seen around, including at Asian markets -Huge Champagne Depot -Market where they sell cool cheeses & some other random items to go with your liqs -Pimped out taproom with patio that offers pints & flights (beer/wine) & cocktails & slushies -Amazing staff -Great Binny's prices *You can check stock before shopping on the Binny's website* *Be sure to join their Rewards club* Binny's in Lincoln Park - why didn't I discover you sooner?! I have many future plans of coming here for some liquor shopping but getting in a solo flight in the kick@$$ taproom before perusing the beer aisles buzzing. See you soon, new BFF, see you soon.

Binny's is honestly the best. If it's not there you shouldn't be drinking it. The prices are always extremely reasonable and it more often than not the item that you were looking for, at least for me, is generally on sale. They also throw really awesome events such as the Game of Thrones event, donut pairing tasting, or just the general tastings they have around the store. Anytime we need help locating an item the staff there is always more than willing to stop whatever else they are doing and help, when ordering kegs they make it an easy breezy process and call promptly once it is available, overall this is just a great store with superior products, prices, and staff.

Binny's is a liquor wonderland. I was looking for a specific bitters and they had a whole line from the small brand I was looking for. It was amazing. But really it's the incredible staff that makes Binny's such a great experience. The cashiers are so friendly and efficient and some give me cocktail ideas I didn't even know about. I drink a specific wine and if I've depleted what's out they're happy to go get more in the back. No attitude. They've all worked there for as long as I've been going there. Lincoln Park Binny's employees are the best!

This is the best binnys in the whole Chicagoland area and not just because it's the biggest. Their staff is so caring and helpful. Every time I need something they get it in for me one way or another. You can tell that they genuinely care about their customers. I want to specifically shout out the beer department there. They are so great!!! I want to be friends with these guys. There's no other liquor store I would ever want to go to! Binnys Lincoln park thank you for your service!

Hands down the best liquor store in the whole world in my book. It has the largest champagne room in the world. It has a lovely and spacious bar in what I believe was a factory previously. This store on Saturdays has lots of wine tastings going on. The staff are so thoroughly helpful. I am starting to build a collection for my 2 yo for when she turns 21 yo and they have certainly been so very helpful to me. Their prices are better than most other places in town. I come here more for the wine (firstly) and beer (secondly) than the liquor so cannot speak to the prices of that. I am usually here at least one Saturday afternoon a month with my 2 yo and 3 mo daughters in a stroller, so I think they know me by now. Secret hint: this is a great play space as well. The bar is really spacious and my oldest just loves running around.

Do NOT place an online order for instore or curbside pickup. Placed an order and I went to the store 3 hours later. The customer service "manager" said, "it's not ready." Not, "I'm sorry it's not ready yet." Not, "I'm so sorry we've just been so overwhelmed with orders and don't have the staff to keep up. Your order isn't ready yet, but if you want to hang out we'll get it right now. Or another option would be to go grab everything on your order and bring it to me and I'll let you take it on out!" I took it upon myself to say I'd like to cancel the order and grab things myself. She said "fine." It was so funny to me this miserable person was the Customer Service "Manager" so I mentioned the irony and she rolled her eyes.

Is there anyone who doesn't like Binny's? Even non drinkers can find great stuff! This location is special, however. It's so pretty, the people are so nice, and there is a special space in the back. I've been to two events here, and they were great. The reps who sell the alcohol are awesome, too. Besides just the fun alcohol products, including fun labels and pretty bottles...there are other party products too like limes, lemons, cheese, olives.

Extensive selection of craft beer which is conveniently arranged by region. They have bottles on the shelves and kept cold in adjacent refrigerators as well. As always, I'm still very surprised at the abundance of West Coast varietals on the shelves of liquor and bottle stores in Chicago. Binny's certainly had a huge section dedicated to SD craft beer. Numerous aisles were dedicated to beer, but they also had a vast collection of wine. I loved the addition of a tasting room in the back, but sadly they already closed down shop at 8:30pm when we came to browse on a Friday night. HUGE liquor store which was the equivalent of Bevmo here on the west coast but certainly MUCH much bigger and with greater selection. Binny's is truly the adult equivalent of a candy store. I wish such an extensive beverage store existed over here!

I had gone to other Binny's locations before. Admired good selection of beers and liquors. This one is a little different. They have a breathtaking tasting room/ bar that hearkens back to a prohibition era America. High ceilings, barrels and of course a bar with beer on tap, wine and liquor. Has to be this liquor stores best kept secret because I was unaware before yesterday.

This is just an amazing alcohol store. It's the largest alcohol store I have ever been inside. This place is even bigger than Total Wine. There is a nice, free, large parking lot available. There is a bar here where there is a large selection of beer on tap/bottles as well as wine and liquor. The store has a large walk in humidor as well as a room with all the most expensive alcohols. The workers here were very friendly and helpful. The store is laid out so that things are easy to find. My brother found some Lambec that he loves marked down to $8.99. If you're looking for something that's hard to find, I would recommend looking here. They have just about everything. The prices are hard to beat.

This is my first visit to Binny's so was blown away by the focus on volume, selection and prices vs frills. I believe there is a tasting bar as well. We've nothing like this in Toronto/Ontario. It's like a ginormous Home Hardware for booze at every price level. I'd like to especially thank Casey and Gerry for helping me procure some rare top shelf wine at a great price and patiently answering my questions. Repeat: Yes!

I have been a loyal customer of Binny's since the days when it was Sam's. I am in the process of moving in the coming week, and I have a number of wine and liquor bottles to move. I stopped in the Lincoln Park (Marcey Street) store this afternoon and asked if I could take a few empty boxes to help me with my move. A very rude "manager" told me that "they weren't allowed to give out boxes." If he had looked up my Binny's account he would have seen that I am a good and long term customer. I've always found the selection and service at Binny's to be outstanding, but after the way I was treated this afternoon, I'm not going back. I guess they prefer that all that cardboard ends up in landfills.

Horrible service. How could Binny's have no Corona Familiar beer. I need 5 cases of 24 pack of Corona Familiar. Upset at this situation. Don't go to Binny's. Jewels has the 24 pack.

I keep seeing Don Rauba belittling people on IG for the way they write about wine. If he's connected to this business, but acting so unprofessionally and condescending in public forums- I can't imagine this store to be a place I'd like to spend time at. At a time when we are all experiencing so much negativity and fear, is this really what Don and the staff at this store want to focus on? Lift people up, don't be a keyboard bully like a bad teenager. We all need to do better, especially now.

I'm not a Sommelier but if you need someone who is close to it , ask for Max ! I came in Friday evening asking for something similar to 7 moons( Favorite Cheap Red Blend @ Jewel ) and left with 4 bottles . I left excited to try my new bottles and let me tell you ! I did a taste test and have some new favorites I'll be back and will ask / see is Max is working . #Gobinnys #Quarantinewine

I would be ashamed to admit how much time I spend at this outstanding Binnys. My favorite thing is to go on Saturday afternoons, because they set out samples of their new products. It is fabulous to try innovative new products (South African Meritage! aged moonshine! Quinoa vodka!) while having a conversation with the distributor or manufacturer. This Binnys, which is one of the larger stores in the city, also has an expansive stock. You can support local brands (Ale Syndicate, Koval) or emerging brands from across the country. As a transplant Southerner, I can support local brands from my native Arkansas (Rock Town Bourbon or Apple Pie Moonshine with ginger ale, Ghost River Brewery)

Is it wrong that I stop here sometimes twice a week? I remember when I use to go to Best Buy too much and hang out...this location is starting to become that new place! First I must throw a shout out to Aaron the store manager...he is a great guy and it is always fun to talk about alcohol or anything with him. Tonight I stopped in for some of my new favorite German Beer and the shelf was empty. It was on sale for an amazing price at Binny's, so I understood why it was gone. Aaron turned to call his guy who was coming out of the back and he had a two wheel dolly of the beer I was looking for. Talk about customer service...how did he know I needed that beer? Aaron is that good! He had only 3 cases left and I took 2...which were delivered directly to me at the customer service desk. Did I mention I love this place? Recently we discovered the deli area in the back of the store. I had no idea that this existed until a few months ago and if you have not gone back there then you must check it out. The meats are really amazing and recently we picked up some of the Spicy Green Sicilian Olives and all I can say is WOW!!! My wife wants the recipe for these...hint hint...Aaron!!! I was able to try two olives before the container seemed to just disappear. I will not point any fingers at who ate them all but I think it was the lady who wants the recipe...hint hint!!! This place has everything you could ever want in a liquor store...it is huge and there is so much selection it is just crazy what they have in stock. If you can not find it here, then you just need to give up or you could probably have them order it for you. Tonight when I walked in I was greeted by Jimmy Russell the Master Distiller who makes Russell's Reserve Bourbon from Kentucky. He makes small batches and he was nice enough to share some of his bourbon with me. What a friendly guy and what a pleasant surprise to get to meet the man who actually makes the bourbon. Jimmy was also nice enough to invite me down to his distillery in Kentucky to see the whole process...I love southern hospitality. Hopefully, one day I will get to take him up on that invitation. That leads me back to Binny's...you never know what is going on in here! From tastings to celebrity sightings to one of the most amazing selections of alcohol on this side of North America! This Binny's is so big it is visible from outer space...I can not confirm that but if I ever go to space I will make sure I look out the window to verify that!! I am going to call that my "Future Fun Fact"! Next time you are having a party and you need spirits, wine, craft beer, uncraft beer, glasses, mixers, olives, cheese, meat, champagne, napkins, etc, then stop in here. Also, never be afraid to ask one of the great friendly staff members here to point you in the right direction of what you are looking for!

Binny continues to be great, covid or no covid. Great selection, great staff, friendly, most know their stuff. Wished they had more tonic in bottles.

I've been to Sams on many occasions and needed to make a stop there to buy enough drinks for 150 people. I realized there was absolutely no way I would be able to carry this all myself so I gave them a call and asked if they could deliver. Unfortunately I only gave myself a few hours to spare so regular delivery was out of the question, but they did send a messenger for just an extra $15. Not having to carry it all myself was definitely worth $15! Aubrey, the customer service rep on the phone, could not have been more helpful in figuring out exactly what I needed. The only reason I'm giving Sams 4 stars instead of 5 stars is that they delivered the wrong order (in addition to my right order). I was confused where all the beer came from, but was happy to drink it until they showed up a few hours later and asked for their beer back. However, mistakes do happen all the time so I didn't think it was a big deal. I highly recommend a trip to Sams for any alcoholic/party needs!
