Not a big selecton, but they do have a nice single beer selection. Prices were o.k.

What makes this place good is the singles section. They have 3 full coolers of singles, lots of varieties. Prices are fair to high, but most of them are way past their prime. A month ago I saw a bottle of Unibroue Chambly Noire that expired five years ago. Wouldn’t go their again unless I was in the mood for a eight year old Chimay.

Some nice selection, but most of it is overpriced and a relic. 5 or 6 year old beer is, stored in a brightly lit store, not typically any good. Yes, there were a couple of interesting, likely fresh, choices, but most of what I saw was too old, too dusty, or too expensive to take a chance.

I frequent this place, but mainly because it’s the closest bottle shop. Pretty good selection...about six or seven coolers wide plus an aisle of 4, 6, and 12 packs. A bit pricey, but not out of the norm. Not a whole of of ambiance to speak of...it’s just a liquor store with a big beer selection. Service is adequate, although I haven’t run into any employees that know a lot about beer. **Update as of 3/30/09 - Their single bottle collection is dwindling in favor of 6-packs and 4-packs. Not as good a place to find rare beer as it used to be...too bad.**

Thanks to Jovee for this entry! The selection of single beers is a pleasant surprise compared to most liquor stores in the Will county area. I coulnd’t find any of the highest rated beers, though the few that I picked out were of high quality. This store also has a wide selection of liquors and has a great deal of space in spite of it’s small strip mall store front. A great location for Will county.

Looks like a liquor store on the outside but the inside is quite impressive. Lots of single bottles in the back (around 8 coolers). Great place to pick up some hard to find stuff. WARNING SOME OF THE BELGIANS ARE VERY OLD. CHECK DATES.

Stopped on here on my brother, who lives in the areas suggestion, and was pleasantly surprised. Looks like any other local swill selling store on the outside, but Frankenkitty is defnitely right they have 6 or more coolers, stocked with a nice array singles. A good number of which I have not seen at other area bottle shops. 6 pack selection is far more limited. They did have chilled 6 packs of some Goose Island beers and a few others. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. I’ll be hitting here whenever I visit my brother.

The info above stated "60+" bottles, so I was expecting this place to be smaller than it was. Instead we found cooler upon cooler of singles! We couldn’t stay long so I didn’t count, but I estimate they had at least 6 coolers with 50 labels each. A small aisle of warm 6 pack micros, too.... several of which seemed a bit overpriced.

A clean shoppe, carpeted (which I found odd), with a very diverse selection for this store’s seemingly desolate location. The only fault I found today was that they really need to invest in a few shopping carts.

a lot of selection here just wish they kept ther stock up. as soon as something is gone they take a while to get it back maybe a distributer problem. they sell A LOT of single bottles which is nice that way you dont have to buy a six pack everytime you want to rate something. all in all not bad!

Looks like a neighborhood liquor store, but inside they have a nifty selection of single bottles, all chilled and ready to drink. I was able to pick up a Bunch (big "B") that I hadn’t had before, a rarity these days. Nothing exotic, but new to me. Good selection over all. I’ll stop back in a few months to see if their stock has rotated at all.
