Besides Binnys huge variety of wines, liquors and mives, etc. I love their helpful, well-informed staff. Love it!
Nice place with good people on floor,who can help you found,for example,Ukrainian beer,Obolon...Thx.
Ive interacted with various members of the staff at this location, on several occasions, and these interactions have always been positive, informative, and helpful. The staff here have personality, and they share it willingly with their customers, which is always refreshing and welcome. Im very thankful to have a store close by that has such great variety and selection, excellent prices, frequent sales, and consistently superior customer service. Thanks to all from both myself and my liver!
Very good option for liquors. Its a big mart with almost every type of liquors. Friendly staffs.
Jas to be the best one stop shop for alcohol in all of Chicago.
I like this place, big and quiet. Its nicely divided with the wines in the back and everything else up front. The overhead signs are helpful for finding the right aisle. Occasionally someone will ask if I need help and theyre easy to find if I need them, but mostly Im left alone - which I prefer. I couldnt find an item on this visit - probably out of stock. This Binneys is great.
Friendly & responsive personnel. I love ordering online for curb service or in store pick-up -- fast & considerate!
Binnys is the place to find all the beverages you need. I give them 4 stars only because I had to travel 25 miles to find the rum I wanted, bypassing several stores in my neighborhood. Otherwise, their prices are great.
I love how the staff is very attentive. I had a confused look on my face and one of the employees recognized that right away. She asked if i needed any help and when she didn’t know the answer to it, she asked another employee in which they got back right away to. Very good service! Will be back!
A store dedicated to something I love. Easy five stars. I should deduct 1 star for bribing the judge, but you paid me not to.
Experienced Great customer service! Clean everything was properly stocked. Thumbs up to the Manager and Staff....🏅👍
Excellent! Great selection! Great service!
Great selection. Not the best prices.
Their chilled/cold wine selection is absolutely horrible. They have a tiny cooler of cheap $9 white wines to pick from in an entire huge store of wine. Its weird because the space they took over was a Whole Foods with 3 aisles of refrigerators left to them. They got rid of their wine chiller thing too. If you want a real wine shop go up the street to Vinic for better selection and better everything.
Wonderful and helpful staff. Quick checkout times every time I come in here.
Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious aisles.
This place is Huge! Great selection for any type of wine or booze you are looking for.
From a beer perspective I feel this binnys has the best experts to help you find new brews. They have a huge selection even compared to other binnys.My only gripe is the small parking lot but what can you do?
Nice employees and plenty of Parking.
Best place to buy booze, obviously. Borderline wholesale prices and they have nearly everything, unless its a highly sought-after rare bourbon. Then they hide it in back.
Would like to see chilled Fireball; availability of Keystone Ice, a great budget alternative to Coors Light; more facings and chilled availability of Not Your Fathers Root Beer; and, better prices to a counter the inevitable ridiculously suffocating Cook Co taxes on alcohol.
Very friendly worker In Alway looking to help get the rest right thing you need
Great location. Huge selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Plenty of on-site parking. It was busy when I went but they got through everyone quickly. I wanted some less common liquors and they had them. Great place!
Everytime I visit this establishment everyone I interact with is pleasant and helpful
Super convenient, ample parking, and the best beer selection Ive seen since moving to Illinois. Everyone Ive talked to there is friendly and knowledgeable, so it will more than likely end up being our new spot. Im very pleased to have them come to town.UPDATE: If you’re looking for a wine guy that can find you anything, ask for Max. I ask for him every time and am never disappointed
The layout is different than the others in the city, but I like it, nice wide aisles. Also,, they have shooters, lots of them, which is awesome.
So I am not sure if it is because they opened relatively recently but they are AMAZING! They were able to stock a four pack of cider from the UK that they ordered at my request, so I do not have to go to the Skokie location. The employees are friendly too and so helpful.
Great prices and even greater variety. The staff is always nice and friendly and theres always something going on whether it be an engraving of your favorite brand or a giant tasting event for wine or beer. The staff is also quite knowledgeable in each department which helps the novice drinker or even the more experienced imbiber.
Grate place..great service...great selection. Huge beer variety!
So many selections in a HUGE store! Clean and bright, easily accessible from road with plenty of parking. Wine bottle chiller! Tons of ciders to choose from as well as build your own 6 pack. Friendly staff to accompany.
They have EVERYTHING and we didnt have to give them everything in our wallets to walk out the door with EVERYTHING.The staff is super friendly and helpful too. Definitely will make this my regular spot for liquor acquisition from here on out.
Binny’s got Barbancourt... I love it...Best Liquor Store Ever
Great selection. Helpful staff all wearing masks and have plexiglass and tables at checkout to make sure you are socially distant from checkout person. You must wear a mask to enter. You will feel safe here.
Im sure you know that Binnys is the place for booze, wine and beer in the Chicagoland area. The customer service at the Evanston location is unmatched. Sales people are super knowledgeable and I have to give a special shout out to Jenny Lovin, that girl knows her stuff and was extremely helpful today!
Great selection, helpful staff and their doing curbside pickup really helped in the intense part of covid.
While I prefer importing my beverages from overseas, its great to have a store with such a robust selection for such a reasonable price. The lack of options for quality drinks in evanston was a real problem before binnys came.
Great selection and very helpful staff. Easy free parking. Can order ahead and pick up
Great place to get as many kind of drinks as you can fathom. Very friendly staff, and such a large selection that it would take days to fully flesh out! Good prices, and the even have drink chillers free of charge! I will definitely be going back.
Anything you need, you’ll get it at Binny’s! They have the best selection, the most knowledgeable staff, and the ability to get you excited about liquor shopping. We went to a beer tasting event and it was awesome exactly what I’d expect from them.
The staff was extremely accommodating and I couldn’t be more pleased
Always can find great deals and a friendly face to help with questions or if im looking to try something new.
The wine tasting is so much fun! I know, you might think “cmon, it’s Binny’s “, but it’s actually a lot of fun and you are definitely getting your money worth! 10$ to try dozens of wines, some of them worth $100+ great deal!
Something for everyone that drinks, including excellent cider selection, at very good prices. Sale prices usually offer exceptional value.Huge free parking lot out front.
A neat, organized shop.Low prices.Friendly and knowledgable help.We recently attended a Champagne and caviar sampling class which was enlightening and enjoyable.This location is in the running- neck and neck- to be our favourite with the Binnys on Lincoln at Touhy in Lincolnwood, which is closer to our home.
For the sake and Asisn beer. Free parking.
I love Binnys, but I had one of my worst customer service experiences Ive ever had. You simply cant treat customers the way this store does, not just as customers but individuals. Im still a person and I deserve basic human dignity. And to have this happen infront of my family on my birthday, completely unacceptable.
The Wine Goddess (a half mile away) is our typical go-to shop for wine in Evanston, but sometimes Diane, the stores fantastic proprietor, doesnt carry what were looking for and we sell our souls to the box-store/ Binnys. But as often as possible we try to support local and LOVE the Wine Goddess!!
I love Binnys. Good selection. They need more rum choices. Staff is always great for the patrons.
Up dated to four stars. Was looking for something I couldnt find. I called for help and a young lady came and pointed it out for me. So I asked for something else and she took me right to it. This place has it all and a guide to show you where it is.
Great staff, efficient and well stocked, excellent housekeeping.
Very rude and intimidating manager in Evanston location. I was a frequent customer since they opened here and spent hundreds and hundreds of $$. Today I had a basic question about wearing a mask and both store manager and security quard were yelling at me for 5 min - both at the same time. Totally inappropriate and disturbing.
Very good selection of liquor and an intimidating amount of wines. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The cashier, Darwin, was a really cool dude.
This was my first time there, but it has every liquor you can imagine, I will definitely go again...
Beer selection was very average. No hard to find gems, unlike other Binnys I have been to. Hope this changes.Wine selection and liquor selection were very good though.
One of the nicest Binnys in the Chicago area. New, huge, comprehensive, and a far better use of space than the previous supermarkets that used to be in this space. Our favorite Binnys, we drive up from Edgewater.
I was looking for a full case of a Pinot Grigio. They had some problems determining how many they had in stock and accidentally charged me for one bottle that I did not receive. I called them and they corrected the mistake graciously.I usually go to the Binnys in Skokie but wanted to check this one out. It had plenty of parking but did not quite have as many of my favorite brands of tequila as the Skokie store. There were lots of beer brands on special.
One of the best whiskey selection I have seen. Go here if you are looking for whiskey.
Amazing staff, and outstanding selection, when I was there an employee offered me a bottle that she had set aside for herself. 10/10 will be back to this specific binnys
Better make sure youre over 80 before you go in here. They beat me within an inch of my life when I tried to bum rush the security guard.
The Evanston Binny’s is one of the best liquor stores I have ever been in. It has everything you may need for any party or gathering you are hosting. Want to be mixologist will love the array of bitters and tinctures on hand as well as many spirits that are usually hard to find
First of all I love the look and feel of this store in Evanston, sometimes I just wander around and enjoy finding interesting new labels. The staff is always attentive and eager to assist. I really love shopping here. Thank you Binneys.
Friendly and very helpful. Ive always had a good experience at every Binnys location Ive been to and I look forward to going back.
Binnys had all the Rioja red wine in stock & a staff person recommended a French rose for summer. Very large selection of wine, Beer & ale , liquor.
Binnys is the superior liquor store in the Chicago area. Well lit. Well organized. Clean. Well stocked. Knowledgeable people who can give actual answers about their products.
I go in for 1 bottle. Leave with 3. Damn sales!
A large Binnys with ample parking and well staffed for friendly, knowledgableassostance. Very clean and well stocked.
Probably one of the best stores for alcohol in the Chicagoland. This location is clean and well organized. The staff here are nice and can make good recommendations to you.
Great selection of wine & liquor. Very knowledgeable staff.
Binnys is like a long-lost friend and a problematic uncle rolled up into one (in the best way possible). Theres nothing that I could say about them that I havent already in other reviews of the various campuses. A+
Best bakery in the Skokie/Evanston area. Everything I had is amazing from scones, macarons to cream puffs. Also, great coffee & friendly helpful staff.
New location for an old favorite. Good selection, decent prices, helpful and knowledgeable staff. And there is always something on sale. Not as large as some other liquor stores.
Wide variety of spirits! But they didnt have buzzballz! But they slogan is if we dont have it,it aint worth drinking! Or something like that lol
I come here mainly for the bourbon selection and advice. Maya and Stephanie have both been very helpful and offered some great suggestion of new things to try.
Yes, this is the place for wines and spirits.
Great selection and the staff is more than willing to talk a little about your selections. They are even happy to check the back room for your favorite if it is not on the shelf.
Amazing selection of local and non local beers. Super friendly staff and welcoming place to stay and have some beers to share. Will def be back
I’ve heard multiple reports of racial discrimination towards patrons of this depot. Given the number of reports I’ve been made aware of, I find it deeply, deeply troubling. I will be ordering my beer from Amazon from now on.
Best liquor, beer, mixer, wine... they have it all. If they dont have what you like, an associate will try and order the item for you.
Decently priced drinks for Evanston, employees are very helpful
This used to be a WholeFoods. I had no idea Binnys was a chain. But they have a LOT of stuff. Most certainly not your average liquor store!
Managers were very helpful in working with me to find what I needed for an event. Offered to have it ordered in and put aside for me. Very nice.
First time in this Evanston location. Nice staff getting everything under control. They have a great selection of kosher wine.
Mike runs the cigar shop, and hes a wealth of knowledge and experience for those wanting to learn about the rich, enticing world of cigars. Excellent!
Tim is one of the best in asserting top notch wine and champagne recommendations. He has tasted the wines, actually...and speaks from experience. Listen to him.
This place has everything you need. Some binnys have certain selections that they have few items. This one has an abundance of everything.
Large selection, helpful staff.
This is the greatest thing to happen to Evanston in years. This is an awesome Binnys. So much selection. Will be my goto store from now on. So glad they got the deal done for this site.
Horrible experience, I felt as if I was being followed because every time I looked up the manager was in the same aisle as me and it wasnt to help.
I wish I could give less than 1 star for the awful service the sad woman at the checkout displayed. Despite showing her my ID, she refused to sell me beer. Could’ve been discrimination but I’ll never know because I, nor any of my friends,will ever be going back there again.
Best selection and store layout!!! They even do special orders. Love it!
Great selection at the store for parties larger events. It’s a very large location and they really do take care of the customer
Binny’s has a great selection of spirits. Stephanie was incredibly helpful in finding us exactly what we wanted.
Very helpful staff.
Really knowledgeable staff and a wide selection of different types of alcohol at different price points. We appreciate being able to ask for advice and trusting the information we receive
They should call this Binnys Super Store! Hugely amazing selection, helpful staff and, lots of parking. A great place to get supplies.
Great selection of wine, beer & cocktails. Helpful staff.
I must say the whole staff was polite and very helpful. My new official location to make my purchases as they have earned my business.
Staff is very helpful. But I know it is for protection but the security with Guns is Startling other than that great place
Always enjoy stopping here. If they dont have what you need, its probably not available! Store is squeaky clean!
Unbelievable amount of options. And if they don’t have it, they’ll happily special order it for you!
Prices are unbeatable, Federalist wines at a price lower than any other store. Service is good.
Reminds me of Bevmo on the west coast. Lovely liquors and friendly, respectfully masked faces.
Super helpful staff, crazy range of booze, mixers, accessories, and snacks, free plentiful parking, and very clean and beautiful site. What more could you ask for?
The customer service at this location has vastly improved. I was greeted in almost every section of the store, which resulted in more purchases
25000 square feet of booze, beer, wine, etc. We wanted a rum, they had over 100. IRS amazing.
Love Binnys the only place where I can find Diplomatico for mom 🇻🇪
Knowledgeable and helpful staff, great selection of beer, wine and liquor.
Excellent customer service and the craft beer selection is phenomenal.
I felt very uncomfortable shopping here. The security guard followed me and even stood behind while I was in line. Ive never been treated like that at a binnys.
Very friendly courteous help me be able to find what I was looking for clean air condition Rooney parking lot thumbs up
Plenty of choices great customer service close to all transportation
Great assortment of beverages and the staff is always accommodating and willing to help. Their suggestions are always spot on!
Really good selection with very knowledgeable staff.
They give you warm beer for curbside service. What?!
Great selection! Had what I wanted when nobody else did. Thank you!
Built on the former Whole Food location - so the place is huge! I was surprised to find that their foreign beer selection was limited compared to the Lincolnwood location
This is a newer location for this long established chain. They have a very large selection, and the staff that is willing to help if you need advice
Great selection decent price and most helpful employees.
Excellent selection but we cant find zoot Belgium beer.

2022-03-08They got me Schlitz! And yeah yeah I understand that the quality of this beer has somewhat declined over the last 25 years. Point is, the beer was for a friend who did not have access to it on the other side of the country, but this place managed to get me some in less than a week and it made my friend very happy to see that I had brought it for her. So I appreciate their help and will continue to use them for unusual alcohol acquisitions.

2022-06-27We moved from the South Loop to the North Shore last year and I have to say that the Evanston location is a little disappointing as compared to the South Loop location we used to frequent. They always seem to be out of stock or unable to get things that I am looking for and its hard to understand because it seems like Evanston is fairly sophisticated. In any case, we generally wind up getting what we need elsewhere, especially wines that are generally available at local restaurants and other stores. But if you just want basic things, they always seem to have Stoli, basic beer, etc

2022-05-18I cant say enough good things about this location and about Chad and Tiela.I bought a bottle of Redbreast 12 year and when I went to the parking lot the bottle slipped out of a faulty box and shattered in the parking lot. Dejected, I went inside expecting to buy another expensive bottle.Chad offered me another compd bottle without me even asking. The whole team was friendly and helpful even before this outcome.Thanks to them all.

2019-12-05Newer Binny’s location. We went to the Thanksgiving Wine Tasting event. These events are always a great time. Highly recommend attend a future tasting event. There were at least 10 vendors at different tables, each with 4 or 5 options to try. We bought tickets but then they gave us a store credit for that same amount. Found some really fun new things. They even had a Temperance beer that came out a while ago that I was looking for. Staff is knowledgeable and kind.

2019-11-04The Binnys in the Clybourne Traingle is amazing. Their choice of events is amazing and a real venue. If you want to have a regular bar experience the room is great in size and offering and prices. Aside from that its a fully stocked retail store
Review №6
2022-01-20Not the biggest Binnys, but they carry pretty much all the stuff you need as far as booze is concerned. The nice thing is they also have a good selection of non-alcoholic stuff too!
Review №7
2022-04-17I have received great recommendations from their staff. My favorite store. Great selection, prices and quality.
Review №8
2019-07-01Huge selection of beer, wine, vodka, whiskey and etc. I can compare this store only with Total Wine. There prices on some kind of tequila 50% is cheaper than in some other stores. What pleasantly surprised me that they placed plastic covers over bottles that you purchased to protect them from breaking. Small but a very nice touch!
Review №9
2021-09-13Why is it that the most knowledgeable sales person is also stacking the shelves? Anyway, this is a Epic liquor store with everything you need and more of it than you could ever keep in your bar. Go there and ask for recommendations, because they never steer you wrong.

2019-12-02Had a good experience here, only wished that i hadnt missed the 10% speacil. Over all great customer service.
