Uncork-it Review

Great little centralized liquor store. Helpful staff and good prices!

I don't drink but I love non-alcoholic beer. This liquor store has the best N/A selection I have seen in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado or Illinois! They also have a crazy selection of alcoholic beer/wine/liquor if you're into that kind of thing.

This place is awesome, you can base whether or not you decide to visit here on my opinion

I'm from New Orleans and they showed me great service Mario and Rich A one service go here for your liquor

Good selection. Damn Chicago taxes and price fixing.

Staggering selection in a convenient location. Ain't nuffin to hate here.

I wish I had a liquor cabinet in my apartment. I would stock it with one of everything from here. But since that's not feasible, I guess I'd settle for living in the tequila aisle. Not allowed? Ugh, fine. How, about frequent visits? You got a deal!

This is probably one of my favorite liquor stores ever (after Spec's in Texas)!! They have a great variety of liquor, wine, beer, and practically any other item that would be included in a sin stock. I was in Streeterville for my first month in Chicago and discovered Uncork It when I was on the prowl for a particular pre-mixed mojito cocktail. I had already tried Dominick's and two other liquor stores that failed me, but Uncork It knew just how to satisfy this party gal. It took me a while to find it, and I think the staff could tell I was a bit perplexed, but they instantly directed me to the right area. The staff was incredibly nice my entire time there and very friendly. They even had the exact brand/mix I was looking for and a great variety of other liquors as well - they definitely have anything you could ever imagine. I've gone a few times now to satisfy my sinful desires, and Uncork It never fails me.

I will admit that the prices are a bit higher than Dominick's, which is only a couple blocks away, but Dominick's also only carries the standard brands and not many unconventional items. Also, Uncork It offers a preferred card that you can sign up for that offers special discounts and prices over time, which is really worth it if you go more than a few times (it's free to join too!).

Also, sometimes on the weekends they have a representative of various brands of wine, etc. giving out samples to try, which is really nice. The place has a ton of variety and is a great neighborhood liquor store - they have everything you could need/want. They even encourage the beer pong enthusiast/college girl in me by selling ping-pong balls. Maybe I should add some beer pong to my housewarming party?

I am shocked at how mean the lady at the register is. I have been there twice and it seems like I am inconveniencing them by asking a simple question on wine. Better to simply go to Whole Foods across the street if you just want a bottle of wine or Binny's if you want to buy liquor for a party. I don't recommend

UnCork It has good selection, though the prices are higher than most liquor stores. I have found that Whole Foods and Marianos have better prices for most wine and beer. That may also be true for spirits, though the selection at Whole Foods is very limited for spirits.

This place has a tremendous amount of selection, especially for whiskeys! Great atmosphere inside with a tasting room.

Matching selection of wine fea all over the world and very real whiskey for an American store

They miss marked the price on drink section. When i brought it up, i was offered my money back. I feel the manger should have matched the price advertised especially it was only a $6 difference.

You will be transported to a wonderland of wines and the warming smile of the maker, a most gracious host, from the moment you cross the threshold of this wine shop. He is clearly an old-school man in whom tradition, slow food, and the movement of wine and affection for his fellow-man are thoroughly expressed. Visit a must!

Meh. Mediocre selection high prices. I prefer Binnys.

Nothin special. Place was not super clean. I mean what do you expect to find downtown.

By far my favorite place to buy wine & spirits. I drink mostly whiskey & rum at home and with friends, and UnCork has an incredible selection and knowledgeable staff. Two thumbs up!!

Great variety of wines, a few beers & spirits. Staff is friendly and customer oriented. Prices range from low and reasonable to high end. Worth visiting and revisiting over and over again.

The store was very clean and organized. The people working there were very helpful and polite.

Clean store; however, much pricier than other options in the same area

One of my favorite things to do is come here and drink wines. The range is amazing, and the owner and staff are wonderful.

This place has just about every alcohol under the sun. I was able to try several new things from their massive selection. Prices were pretty competitive as well. Didn't even feel too sketchy.

This wine shop is ideal for all of your beer and booze requirements. They had a large selection of wines and beers. And they are much less expensive than any other wine store in the city or in the malls. You can even dine and eat here, as they have very chic and comfortable seating inside. They also served macarons, pastries, and bread.

Good place for liquor. They have a wide variety with decent prices.

Red and White wine is truly everything I have ever wanted for a neighborhood winery shop. This place is really magnificent. They had a huge collection of wine to choose from. The staff was so friendly and helpful in choosing a perfect wine. This wine shop is a must-shop in this town. If you want to have a drink.

Wow! For downtown, this place is stocked. Great selection.

Great selection and they deliver! Can be a Lil pricey bit worth it for the selection and convenience

Bourbon county in the city and a good amount, not terribly priced. Perfect stop if traveling for work and want a good selection of craft beer.

Rude employees don t come here was hard to find the tequila I wanted. I asked the employees and they said they didn t know and didn t get paid enough to look so we left. You would think they would try to make more money downtown.

The staff was very welcoming, pleasant, charismatic, and knowledgeable about the wines. He took the time to share his passion for wines. We tried delicious wines that he was very generous to offer us. I will surely come back next time and recommend the place to my friends.

Nice beer/wine store. Liked that they have mix and match six packs of local/regional beer.

This place was great!!! The staff new right away that we definitely were not from around the area. They jumped right in and were very helpful and found everything we needed including giving us an umbrella because it was raining. We were in town for cheerleading competition and had a child with us with a foot injury. He helped us across the street to Walgreens for a brace. Walking that far was not a good idea for her. I can t believe he cared that much to make sure she made it that far and found her a chair inside Walgreens to sit in until we got the brace on. What a great guy!They gave us a lot of great pointers for getting around town and recommendations on some good places for food that we hadn t been to. There was a closer place to our hotel however we got recommendations from other hotel gas that uncork it was better so we walked the 10+ blocks. Boy were they right! Not only did we get a great bottle of wine but also great customer service! They get a big huge thumbs up!

Convenient location, but poor customer service. Many of the items I have purchased I found were significantly more expensive than Whole Foods up the street. I no longer spend the extra money at UnCork It.

Fantastic shop for locals and tourists, wine and spirits. The selection is great but the staff make all the difference. Its wonderful to have an actual relationship with knowledgeable people.

A must-visit winery store. Every time that I came here. I feel so relaxed and relieved because of the place it was indeed relaxing and cozy. The wine that they served was chill and has a great smell. The place was spaciously cleaned. I love their food as well. The crews were very kind and welcoming. Gonna stop here again for a drink.

They got almost any kind of alcohol in any kind of packaging or size you may dream of. Friendly and competent staff, low prices. Downtown location.

Huge selection with a nice reasonably priced gift shop attached. Friendly staff!!

Friendly helpful staff. Large selection. Good prices.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff that provides great recommendations at reasonable prices!

I love these guys! Great selection, reasonable prices, a returning client program and dogs allowed. My pup loves going there - he always gets a treat!!

A regular liquor store with a wide selection of beers and wines, both cold and room temperature. Easy to get to from Navy Pier!

Friendly owner and staff, they have a pretty good decent collection of liquor, i was lucky to get Old Monk and Indian rum (one of my all time favorites since college), the only issue is parking near this place.

The owner also helped with a box to carry all the bottles with me.

First of all the prices are to high to be honest than the service is not good!! The delivery guy that came to 1 west was lazy and rude no customer service at all!! And will not bring to your door after all the money spent !!!! Horrible service F.A!

Fantastic service. I will definitely go to these guys again and would recommend them to anybody in need of outstanding customer service. Gidget went above and beyond to help me with a rather large and last minute order.

UnCorkit managment and staff are very knowledgeable and offer timely advice on their more reasonable and expensive wine and liquor selections. You won't find a more extensive collection of spirits and liquor anywhere in the United States. My shopping trips are always an adventure.

The owners are very kind and will bend over backwards to help you find what you need and deliver it on time. That said, their services like delivery are one of a kind and they are good at it. Selection is excellent however, you will pay a premium on certain things.

Great place. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

Adrian was extremely hospitable and informative while helping me pick out the perfect spirits for my event. The store itself is very organized and has a lot of great options for all budget types. It's also in a great location downtown.

Good store to buy any drink your looking for at good prices. Very helpful personal that work there. Enjoy

A must-visit is this wine store! Plan this visit for 1-2 hours as you can sample a lot of wine! The owner calls the living room his little wine shop, and it really is. You'll talk with other wine tasters, hear stories from them, and you'll be able to sit down or stand up. His love for communicating and loving wine with people is infectious. A unforgettable experience indeed!

The wines are well kept, and the owner was very informative about the pairing of wine and food. Their place is also very convenient. In the future, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you very much!

Needed a large order of a specific Gin. I ordered through a delivery app and the store call me to let me know that they needed to order additional bottles. Adrian at Uncork It worked quickly to order the additional bottles and kept in contact with me every step of the way. He was even able to expedite the order. Great customer service!

Quick service, nice variety in store and quick snacks.

Stopped in here today after work to grab a bottle of vino and a snack or two for dinner. Staff was courteous and helpful, selection wide and they even had some very nice sale wines to choose. If you sign up for their customer loyalty program you'll find even more bargains. The store is conveniently located with great hours. It feels good to shop a local business! It's also a convenient spot to get a Christmas tree during the season as they invite a vendor to set up on the sidewalk just outside. They've been a Streeterville staple for many years and we locals enjoy having them around.
