I could wander around Binny’s for hours looking at the pretty bottles. I usually go to the gigantic Jefferson Street location, but stopped into the Grand Ave location, which is much smaller, but still has a great selection. Free, easy parking. Very helpful staff.

I went regularly to Binny's to buy my whiskey and the experience was ok but what I experienced today was just terrible. Won't definitely shop there anymore and can only highly recommend to everyone else to go to the small and friendly liquor stores in the neighborhood... They don't have the same variety but at least they are friendly. So here is the story: I was browsing for my stuff and went to the check out. I approached it the wrong way because it was empty. The lady who was sitting their was chatting and joking around with a colleague. As she saw me coming she stopped and looked very annoyed. She told me that I was approaching the check out the wrong way and thus is not the way it should be. After a short discussion we agreed that for this time (because it was empty) it is ok... The next thing is, she declined my German ID. She said she couldn't accept this. Never had this before and not even in this shop. As I called for the manager he told me the same. I tried to explain but they weren't listening. Then I went away without buying anything but they didn't care at all. I'm nearly 40 years old and I had a foreign ID... I don't get it... Never again

I love this store. They have a HUGE selection of everything: beer, wine, liquor... you name it. They have sales frequently on all sorts of items. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lines can be long sometimes, but the store is efficient and you can be in and out quickly. One of my favorite parts is the Binny's card. You save so much and get points with rewards. I've received two $10 off rewards already and I look forward to many more.

They have a free parking lot. And they had the whiskey that I was looking for in stock when nobody else did. Of course also a couple of impulse buys while I was in there. Who can resist?

All of their stores are incredible. The selection of alcohol is crazy good. You will find something within the price range you want to spend. And staff is helpful. I asked for help on some wine and they hooked me up with their wine specialist. Learned a little more knowledge about brands and sub brands and growing regions. Definitely ask for help. It makes them shine with their knowledge.
