Binny’s Beverage Depot

Just shopped at Binny’s on McHenry Rd for a wine & cheese tasting party. Nathan was amazing. Very knowledgable on wine /​cheese paring. He took a ton of time with us & even made notes on our shopping list so we’d keep things straight. Would definitely recommend.

Paid $ 140 for 2 bottles of wine. Asked for a box that I could buy to put wine into for a gift. They said they no longer carry boxes. They said to put in brown bag and twist the top. Right!!! I will not be buying from that store again.

They have great employees who greet me every time I pass them by. The store is always clean when I go for beer runs. Lastly, they always have something new to try.

My go-​to place to buy my wine. Self admitted wine snob. If you want a great wine, ask for Ramona, or John!

Staff has been super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful the few times I’ve stopped in recently. And I was thrilled to find the chocolate wine I was seeking for the holidays. Close to home and good prices. Definitely worth a stop!

I stopped in at this Binny’s to order a large amount of alcohol for my upcoming wedding. The service was unbelievable! Normally, when you say the words «wedding» businesses see dollar signs. Not this place. I believe the guy who helped me was named Nate. I told him what my budget was, what I needed to order and he came up with 3 – 4 suggestions that ended up working with my budget. He never pushed me into buying anything.
Service was unbelievable. Not to mention, the lake county taxes on alcohol are much cheaper than Cook (not surprising)!
Highly recommend this place!

Whenever I used to visit my parent’s house in college, I would inevitably end up at Binny’s for most of my liquor needs… Affordable, tons of choices, and SUPER convenient to their house. Most recently, I was home for two of my best friends’ wedding. They both love wine, so I was getting this wine basket together (with wines for every big milestone — first house, first anniversary, wedding night, first fight, etc… — seriously totally cute — check out pinterest for it)… anyways, I digress. We went to Binny’s with our fingers crossed to try to find wines whose names very closely resembled what milestone I was using them for. The employees were EXTREMELY helpful, pointing out wines that popped into their heads when we mentioned the milestone or searching things like «christmas» to see if anything had the name. After perusing the 5+ aisles of wines, I left with 7 perfect bottles of wine — and I was UNDER budget :-) how perfect!
Of course, on top of wine, they carry vodka, tequila, rum, whiskey, beer, etc. etc. etcccccc.
If you’re in the area and in need of something boozy, you’d be a fool not to check out Binny’s :-)

I’ve shopped at this Binny’s many times and always had a good experience. Yesterday, in particular, I went in for beer to bring to a family party. I easily found the cider myself, but was given three great recommendations by two of the employees there. In fact, I walked up to one for advice because I heard him telling another customer about some beer and he seemed very knowledgeable. The Summer Solstice from Anderson Valley was a great call and they had three of the four types of beer I bought in the refrigerated section so it was nice and cold when I showed up. At the check out, there was no line so while one cashier rang me up, the other boxed up my beer. Wonderful service all around. Great job, guys!

Bottoms Up at Binny’s Depot
This is a Binny’s located in a shopping mall in Buffalo Grove. I’m pretty much a fan of all Binny’s so I like to stop in here on my way to my in laws to pick up some last minute essentials like beer or wine.
Of course the staff is very well versed and always helpful when you need help trying to pair a wine that will go well with brie or a scotch and their differences between each bottle and their regions.
I have found that their prices are pretty competitive if not better than most other liquor stores. If you sign up with them to receive emails they will send you emails with deals and specials of the day or week. I have yet to attend one of their wine tastings but one day I will attend.

Definitely my go to for anything alcohol related. They always have some set of sample, which is fantastic! I’ve discovered new wines and sangria s, perfect for any gathering.
Everyone is always willing to help, whether its a recommendation or carrying out your purchase.

This place is amazing. Always fully stocked, staff is always willing to help you find what you are looking for, and they now carry Mangria! Even though I live in Wisconsin and work in Vernon Hills, Binny’s is always worth the drive.

My family only goes to Binny’s for our beverage needs. The customer service is awesome. They are always willing to help and answer any questions. The staff also has excellent advice on flavor profiles. We’ve never had a problem finding a thing.

I stop here on a weekly basis. They have a huge craft beer selection. If you’re a tweeter, make sure you follow their twitter account for all the updates on what’s on tap and new in bottles. I never leave the place unhappy, and the staff is very knowledgable. If you ask them a question they don’t know, they will always find someone that does. I am here on a weekly basis.

Pipeworks brought me here.
No really they have a good selection of craft beer. A bonus is they have a staff that is actually knowledgeable and helpful unlike the A. Heights location.
They keep an updated board with beer rarities that come in also which is really helpful when you’re wondering if something in limited quantities came in.

Having always grown up in BG, Binny’s was my go to place since I was 16, I mean 21 :) My family always bought alcohol here for all our major birthdays, celebrations, NYE’s, all our family events since they have a huge selection for everyone’s needs. They always have my beloved Patron Silver and Anejo in stock which is a plus for me, all kinds of bubbly from France and Italy, I mean you name it, they have it. It’s like candyland for grown ups who like their booze. So not only do they have a wide selection of everything, but they have really good customer service and nice people who are always there to help with your alcohol buying needs.
For example, I had a huge party and I needed like 20 bottles of Kettle (I’m Russian and have a lot of Russian friends.) Well, for the first time, we over bought and used like 17 bottles and I figured I wouldn’t need the other bottles for a while since me and my hubby prefer tequila over vodka any day. Well I took the remaining bottles with my receipt and they gladly refunded me. Sweet, who knew you could return booze? You could at Binny’s. Also, just recently Binnys had the limited edition Patron Varvatos (which makes a great gift btw) Well, they had it on Wednesday evening and by the time I came on Friday to actually buy it, they were sold out at this location since they only ordered four of them. Well, the manager was nice enough to call the Arlington Heights location and asked them to hold it for me until I got there that night. Now that is service I can count on. I will definitely be back years to come for all my alchy needs and I think there may be many of those needs. Plus, the location in downtown BG cannot be beat and two sec away from home. Go Binny’s!!!

This is a pretty solid Binny’s location thought I think it is a bit smaller than the one than the other location I frequent. However, due to the proximity of this location to home, I think I will be shopping here for my alcohol needs more often.
The staff was friendly and the selection was still good. Also, double check their website before making a trip to double check that what you want is there. Saves a trip if they don’t have it.

Reasonable prices, decent selection, friendly staff.
I’m a man that loves to browse. When I was younger, the mall was the place to be for looking at stuff you want to buy, but can’t. A few years later it became Best Buy, and then Music (instrument) stores. As I near 30, the liquor store is field I like to graze in.
Binny’s is clean and organized, making it ideal for those of you that like to look around a bit. They have a «beer» guy and a «wine» girl, who are both very capable of listening to exactly what you’re looking for and directing you to a few options.
I came in looking for a few new six packs to try. The beer guy was really spot on with his beers, and knew a lot about them. After much discussion, I decided on the Lagunitas IPA Maximus, and the Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. The IPA was fantastic, with lots of hoppy, citrusy notes. The stout was rich, creamy, and satisfying.
Stop in and get educated on some grown-​up treats… c’mon, you’ve earned it… haven’t you?

This review is strictly for the customer service I received over the phone. I have never been to this location and I probably never will because it’s hella far from where I live, so I’m going to disclose this is based solely on a single phone call.
I discovered a wine that I love and I’ve been having trouble finding it. Binny’s is the only place I know that carries it, but even Binny’s seems to have stopped stocking their shelves with it. I finally found it again at the location near Golf-​Mill Mall and learned that they are discontinuing the sale of that wine. That’s the bad news. The good news is that $ 12 bottles are now selling for $ 4.99 until they are gone. The other bad news is that they are few and far between. You can’t find them in most stores and the product doesn’t even show up in a Binny’s website search anymore.
Yesterday I sat down with the intention of calling every Binny’s within a 20 mile radius of my home. The Buffalo Grove location is farther away than that, but I have a friend who lives nearby, so I thought if they had some I could make him my gopher. Well, he’s off the hook. They don’t carry it. However, this was THE ONLY BINNY’S where a store employee not only checked their shelves and told me they didn’t have any, but also CHECKED THE BINNY’S SUPPLY DATABASE (imagine that) and told me the locations that did have it in stock!
Thanks to THIS BINNY’S, I only had to call the two stores before this one and didn’t have to continue down the list and waste my time. It’s amazing what a little above and beyond customer service can do. So I’m sorry I won’t be shopping this location unless I’m nearby visiting my friend, but I had to give them props for making my life that much easier.

Love me some Binny’s. They are the cheapest liquor store I have been to in the area. They have such a vast selection of wine beers and spirits! There everyday prices are pretty average but they have new sales every week and their sale prices are terrific!
I do wish they were a little closer or had a store in Arlington Heights/​Prospect Heights because I’m right in the middle of the Des Plaines and Buffalo Grove.
Their employees are very helpful and knowledgeable.
My favorite thing about Binny’s is you can taste a lot of their spirits before purchasing them. Who wants to purchase a 60 dollar bottle of cognac before giving it a taste. They take the risk out of making that kind of purchase!

That’s the way Binny’s uh huh uh huh, I like it uh huh uh huh.
I strut into the store, an employee asks me what I need right away. I say «a bottle of Rum please», she asks «why», I say so «I can get down tonight». She says right down that isle sir.
I shake and groove down the isle till all of a sudden a bottle of vodka jumps out onto the floor. I pick it up, then out of nowhere it speaks to me, he says «I’m your boogie man, I’m your boogie man, turn me on». I was like WHOA a talking bottle of Vodka, I must bring you home with me as well.
Grab a handle of bloody-​mary mix to get those «boogie shoes» working in the morning after, maybe a few imported beers, some wine, and head to the check out counter.
What’s nice is there never really is a long line (at least at this location), I start to lay one bottle at a time and the cashier says «Keep it comin’ love, keep it comin’ love», so then I just put them all down.
So «shake shake shake, shake your booty» all way down to Binny’s before I take it all!
Next time, I should probably NOT be listening to my ipod and talking to bottles of Vodka in the isles. People did kind of strangely look at me.
