Binny’s Beverage Depot

I really love Binny’s, all of them are great but I especially appreciate the Arlington Heights store. They have enormous selections to choose from. I’ve shopped here to load up on beer, wine, liquor, and even a few bar accessories for ALL my party needs. The staff is quite friendly, super attentive to my requirements, and I especially like the wine tastings (well, all the tastings, really). I always seek out Michael when looking for a particular wine and I’ve never been disappointed. He’ll ask what I’m looking for, what price point, and he’ll provide a few suggestions along with a brief description of the region, flavor, and finish. Whatever he suggests, I’ve enjoyed it! Take a visit, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

I love this Binny’s. It is huge and they have a great selection. I love the make your own pack of craft beers. It seems like endless aisles of booze in here. I could just be feeling a little deprived as lately the only liquor store I have been in (besides my recent visit here) is the BC liquor store in Whistler, but I still think this is really a nice store.
There are only two possible drawbacks and one is personal. First, they do not carry Reed’s Ginger Beer, but they do have Dog n’ Suds Root Beer. Does anyone use Root Beer in a cocktail? (I think they should carry the Reed’s instead.)
Second, it is not the cheapest liquor store. I don’t have a huge issue with this due to both the large selection and the fact they have cool things like a way to chill bottles before you leave the store.
I was really happy to see a Binny’s again (and the Ginger Beer is available at the nearby Trader Joe’s), so I am giving it a 5 star rating. I think it is one of, if not the, best liquor store in the area.

Superstore! This place is the Disneyworld of liquor stores. Amazing selection of wines at really reasonable prices. First time in this location and was impressed with the helpful and friendly staff. Pretty extensive selection in beer too. Nothing disappointing to be said about Binny’s.

This is the best Binny’s I have ever been to! From the Managers Chris and Joe to all of the employees the service is exceptional! Chris and Joe are so helpful and their recommendations are always on point, from an amazing tequila for a client or some unreal bourbons for myself. This location rocks!

I experienced THE BEST customer service, EVER, ANYWHERE at this location! We usually order our selections online and pick up at the store. We’ve used the Highland Park location and the Arlington Heights location for this purpose. At each location there was an incident when the order was not fulfilled 100% accurately. At the HP location the situation was remedied with a one-​word mindless customary apology. At the AH store, the manager and staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I would’ve ever expected to make sure that not only was the order fulfilled correctly, expediently and conveniently for me, but they extended to me more than a generous discount. They truly showed EXCEPTIONAL customer service dedication and professionalism. My order was of just a few bottles of lower-​to-​mid-​range priced wine – nothing fancy. I’m not a regular customer. I was just another ‘no one special’ customer, who was made to feel very, very special! I work in customer service and can speak from experience that the staff at this location and especially the manager, Mr. Bach, are a very worthy team!

was in here looking for a couple of specific Bottles of liquor expecting to pay higher prices then shopping around. I was pleasantly surprised to find what I needed on sale and the other bottles I normally buy cheaper than the grocery store. the staff was extremely helpful in finding what I need and noticeably friendly! will be making this my first stop again when I need something instead of my last!

I recently did a tasting at this store and I don’t even know where to start with how AMAZING this staff is and the CLEANLINESS this store. Upon arriving, I was greeted by all of the friendly staff including management. I believe the General Manager’s name was Chris, very kind and helpful individual. Chris assisted me in getting set up for my tasting (Glenrothes) and had him and his associated pull product immediately from the shelf to stock my taste station, he then printed out price tags for me and put my station together. (Something you rarely have done for you) In addition, throughout my time at this store, I watched the customer interaction with the staff and boy was I amazed how at well the staff engages with their customers. Each customer was guided to find what they were looking for and departed the store with great satisfaction. I look forward to doing future tastings at this store.

This is a good Binny’s.
I’m not much of a beer drinker, but I AM a notorious 6-​pack builder. They have a big selection of single bottles to build your own 6-​pack. Its a great quick gift to bring to a party or just because. The stock is constantly rotating with staff picks and seasonals.
There is a ton of liquor to choose from. Not the lowest prices, but the convenience factor makes up for it. Binnys is a one stop shop. Staff is friendly, not skeezy like at some liquor stores. And high five for clean bathrooms!

Came to this Binny’s to get some alcohol. Binny’s is by far the best place to go to pick up any kind of adult beverage you may need. Much like their slogan, «if we don’t have it it must not be worth drinking», you can’t deny this.
We came here looking for some Hopothesis but they didn’t have any. The wife just settled on some Kim Crawford and we called it a visit.

I hesitantly give this store a 4 star review. On one hand, the store manager and beer and whiskey guys are fantastic. I’ve spent hours talking to them about different selections and learned a ton. I have never been disappointed with one of their recommendations and their selection is among the best int he Chicagoland area, even for Binny’s stores.
The downside is the checkout staff. Outside of one person, the checkout staff are rude and do anything they can to stand between you and your drink of choice. On one particularly bad occasion, I tried to buy a wine and a bottle of whiskey. The cashier checked my ID and said she couldn’t allow me to buy it because my license was expired (I didn’t realize… it was 3 days expired… note I am 34 and have never been told I look younger). Furthermore, she pointed out how I shouldn’t have been tasting the wines in a snotty way (I almost asked if I should throw it up for her). Understanding rules are rules and Binny’s has always carded, I politely asked her if she could set the bottles aside and I would send my wife in. No harm no foul right? So my wife goes in and asks for the bottles at the counter then checks out with a different woman. The cashier I had rushes over to double check my wife’s ID then double checks her credit card to make sure she’s not using my credit card. There are a number of other cashiers that seem to hate their job and resent their duty of checking you out. Management here needs to clean up the front of the house if they want to fully capitalize on their fantastic back of the house.

I go their because of their prices and selection, from that point on they really miss it on customer service. The Arlington Heights store cashiers are really, really bad. I found multiple mistakes multiple times and their response is always to argue with you. Liquor stores are just a commodity and you would think that they would be better.

Every time we come back to AH, Husband wants to take a trip over here to see what he can see.
They have a huge selection, and have some great beers. They have cold cases, a few condiment shelves, and an entire part of the store I’ve never been to (as in, we only look at the beer and hard liquor).
Speaking of hard liquor, there’s a great selection here too. If I drank everything, and had a lot of money, I would never go home empty handed.
The staff is nice, mostly helpful, and keeps the store clean and well-​stocked.

A year later and I still love this Binny’s.
When the beer and wine staff recognize me I am torn on my emotion of feeling happy or that maybe I frequent too often.
If you’re looking for wine of any kind — ask for Michael.
Let him know your budget and be prepared to be taken on a ride.
You’ll leave with more than you planned and you won’t complain once you try his recommendations.
The beer guys are fun. Lots of options with many new ones week after week.
If you have «big box» issues — get over them and go enjoy the selection.

Binny’s is my go-​to location for my alcohol needs. This location offers a wide selection of alcohol at great prices. You can also save on certain products by using your Binny’s card. Get one if you don’t have one.
I’m a big fan of craft beer and their selection is amazing! They have beers from all over the US and other countries as well. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. I was asked not once but twice if I needed help on my recent visit.
I definitely will stop by this location again if in the area.

They have the best selection of «name-​your-​poison» in the ENTIRE STATE.
Period.

I like Binny’s because their prices are reasonable and they always have alcohol tastings. Saturday’s usually wine, and they have random different bottles available all the time to try. Last time I was there I tried this Pomegranate infused Tequila, it was amazing! I think they carry a great selection of beers, wines and pretty much any other liquor you could possibly want.

I try not to stray far away from Binny’s for my alcoholic needs…
I mainly purchase sake here (very big selection) and decorative vodka bottles for birthdays such as skull and their special edition absolut bottles. The selection and prices are usually very good.
The staff is extremely helpful, and if one staff member does not have a good answer for you, they will make sure to find one that does.
I also enjoy utilizing the membership, get discounted perks once in a while :)
Come on in, you will not be disappointed.

So glad that there is a Binny’s in the area that isn’t a pain in the butt to drive to for me. This is the biggest binny’s in the area in both size of store and selection.
Binny’s has some really great sales but their everyday prices and some of their so called «sales» are a slap in the face. It’s sad when Jewel-​Osco has a cheaper everyday price on beer.

I love their huge selection but I dont like it how sometimes they card everyone and sometimes they only card the one paying. I went in there with a friend and I didnt have my id and I was given a hard time and I wasnt paying… the next night I went in with my spouse and they didnt ask for my id at all… Im 31 year old. It’s either you card everyone or just card the one paying… dont be selective!

I love Binny’s. They have an incredible selection, great prices, and helpful service. I love the new location as well!
