Skokie Valley Beverage Co. Review

Big place & selection since the renovation. Great selection, very knowledgeable people.

The employees are knowledgeable and very helpful, and the store has a good selection at great prices!

Bourbon lovers stay away! Stopped going to Highland Park Binny s because I have never been able to get any of the allocated bourbon there. I am not talking Pappy s or BTAC, but other stuff you would expect to find from time to time such as WSR, Stagg Jr or 107. Other Binny s do have these from time to time, so I have opted to take all my business a little farther from home.

The selection there is amazing and the staff that's just as good

I found what I needed, thought the staff would be more helpful, bought 4 cases of wine, would have liked some help, but oh well. I am sure what they were working on was more important.

They recently purchased the adjacent space in the mall. Staff tells me they are the 2nd largest in the chain, in terms of square feet. This store is just across the county line, and the Lake liquor tax is less than Cook county. They have; a party room, a large walk in humidor, a large walk-in room for collectible liquor (seriously, a bottle of Scotch for $3,699??) And a display kitchen (like on the cooking TV shows). Plenty of parking. If you are any type of connoisseur (beer, wine, hard liquor), if the staff on the floor does not have the knowledge and expertise you require, someone in the Binny's chain most likely will.

What does it say about me that I'm rating a liquor store? Let's not go there.

Recently expanded and remodeled, this place is like Disneyland for bourbon lovers like me who liked bourbon before others "discovered" it. They have a massive wine selection and expanded humidor as well.

Staff are very knowledgeable and are pretty easy to find walking the floor when you've been sent to find "that wine that I had that one time with the red raised lettering on the label."

Bunny's has a great selection of almost everything. And they're super helpful when you're looking for something specific. Found a smoked Porter from Three Floyd's there, so good. And they carry wine from Castelliare, a beautiful vineyard in Tuscany, I was there once. It's good wine.

Huge variety and helpful knowledgeable staff. I came in with a decent list of hard to find liquors and Binny's staff was able to help me quickly find just about all of it plus make recommendations for others that were similar or complimentary. Can't wait to get back there.

always very good with excellent employees in highland Park/ Northbrook location.
not so much in Glencoe though.

Great Binnnys, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend this store

Love love love this place!!
My go to place when it comes to stocking up my bar! Even found the best Christmas gift ever!!

Great customer service and fantastic prices!!! Signed up for there rewards card... you save even more! Huge selection of wines, beers, etc. I even picked up some stocking stuffers.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff who give you a moment to find your ID before asking for it.

Classy liquor store the size of a supermarket. Great whisk(e)y selection. Sometimes they offer free samples. Just remember they aren't open late. Plan ahead!

Whole place is dedicated to beer. Great people and atmosphere. Sound system is top notch.

Wonderful selection of craft beers, wine and spirts.

Top notch liquor store. The knowledgeable staff is always eager to help.

High marks for this location and the size and remodeling well done condition. The store has a great selection a great history and a great staff. They need to update the Dempster one in Morton Grove to somewhere still in Morton Grove but more contemporary and perhaps a tad larger

The absolute best selection around, and the rudest staff you'll ever meet.

Always enjoy this store and browsing thru their scotch and bourbon selection. Have noticed some good sale items on occasion as well.

The selection is massive. They have items you never knew existed. I bought my friend a birthday present here, it was a vodka bottle in the shape of an AK-47. It was only like $50.

The options here are endless. They usually always have something great for everybody. The employees at this location are incredibly helpful and quick to give assistance. I really wish we had these in Michigan.

Binny's is a great place to buy anything you could possibly want. The prices are awesome and the service is great. They have a huge variety of all types of wine and a huge amount of liquor. Since its expansion the store has been just as good as before. Good service and fast checkout. I totally recommend Binny's for all you liquor needs.

Large variety. The wine that was suggested to me was not good. Hope you can order the wine for NewZealand.

Should go there more often. So far never had a question not answered or wine I couldn't find there.

Nice to have the good selection in the neighborhood.

Expensive.. Marianos has much better pricing.. Binnys much bigger selection but how often do you buy a German wine or other?

Large selection of every type of beverage and friendly helpful staff. Chris is the best!

Huge assortment of wine, beer & spirits. Surprised at the depth of selection on high quality spirits, bourbon, scotch or vermouth as an example. Fair pricing. You might find some products cheaper somewhere else but many of products just are not available anywhere else.

Always stocked up and they have a super fast checkout process

Tried this place a couple times for cigars
bought the binnys brand it was good.
Do not Buy Other cigars wrapper falls apart
and Terrible service!

staff were eager to help. I would love to see them carry more aquavit!

Amazing selection. If you can't find it here it probably doesn't exist.

Great selection, excellent prices, friendly service

I ve been all over the world and this is by far the cleanest grocery store I ve ever seen. The cheese and wine selections are phenomenal.

Pretty much anything you want in the way of spirits. Cheap to very expensive

Well stocked craft selection with lots of variety, always have what I'm looking for.

Champagne I need for NYE on sale. Also good beer sale and Christmas present. Huge store with great help as needed and super prices.

Great prices and selection that's cheap as hell.

Scotch and cognac collection was diverse. A true heaven for the daily or celebratory drinker.

Newly remodeled. Looks great. Awesome selection of spirits, beer, wine, and cigars.

You can find almost anything you need at Binny's. I do miss my Spotted Cow from Wisconsin, though!!

Don t bother trying to snag any good bottles of bourbon unless you are a friend of an employee. Shame on the Mgr of this store to allow employees to lie about their stock. If they are not interested in re sellers they need to tell people to come in and look and not just lie that they don t have the stock. I am not a reseller and looking for 1 bottle of the bourbons they say they never have but yet have sold to others. I am contacting binnys corporate to see if this is just this managers Policy or binnys corporate policy!

Huge selection of beer. Great special's and very kind gentleman running the front. Parking is right in front on a diagonal so easy but mind your reverse! They also have impulse items/snacks at the register.

Amazing selection and, of course, NO COOK COUNTY TAXES.

The Wine Manager names Chris, Asked me if he could help, although I was getting pre-purchased wine for my boss. When I meet Chris, he asked me for my number and my home address.

Chris, promised me that he would send out pamphlets and information so that i could be on the list of customers, however, Chris, wanted more then just that, when I gave Chris my information. Chris, took it upon himself to google me and when he did contact me, he was trying to hit on me and my pamphlets were NEVER sent, MY INFORMATION WAS MISUSED and Chris, kept asking me about my age and how guys think that i'm younger than what i'm.

This company hires women-misers who in-take information and try to date the women and also I know that Chris is married and he wanted us to be a secret and his wife is sick in Wisconsin. What a scum bag and the company too for having such a individual there this is in violations of my human and privacy RIGHTS!!

Very helpful and knowledgable staff were great at assisting me in finding what I was looking for.

Love this store and it will be even better after the renovations in Nov. Keith and Tony in the wine.department are extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Huge wine section! Very personable and polite service. The wine reps know what they are talking about so trust them!

Great selection of wines and other alcohol
Knowledgeable staff

Great store that was recently remodeled! Has all your wants and needs for beer wine or liquor. Also has a new tasting room!

Great selection. Great service in the aisle & at the register.
