An OK place to bottle shop. A decent selection but not quite as good as Binney’s. prices are on par with other local establishments like the new HiVee, BUT - BE AWARE OF SYCAMORE & DEKALB’s 10% SALES TAX ! This alone knocks Lundees overall rating down a few notches - which is a shame since there’s nothing they can do about it :(

Beer selection from all the major regional distributors. Nice bright store. Friendly staff. Drive through. The last hour is drive-thru only. My brother works here and now he knows all about beer, even if he’s in college and doesn’t like beer.

JMerrit & jpm30 have said it all. Large, clean store, big parking lot, easy to find, pleasurable selection. The checkout guys were fun & friendly, asking if I’d tried this or that. Pricing is slightly elevated over smaller stores... comparable to a Binny’s.

Lundeens is a huge liquor store south of Sycamore. I was impressed by the selection, including the selection in the coolers, of imports and singles. Unfortunately, no pick-a-six.

Having just been in Rockford on business, I was really surprised at the selection and prices, better than Woodman’s in Rockford and Janesville, WI. Only drawback, no singles or mix-a-six section. Good selection of Belgians, German and UK imports and a really nice selection of micros, 4 + 6 packs and bombers. They had 3F’s Alpha King, now a rarity in downstate IL and central WI. They also had Capital, including the seasonal dopplebocks, which is not not available south of I-80 in Illinois. You do need to check the best before dates for old beer. If you are in the area or on I-88, this store is worth checking out. Next to Portillo’s Hot Dog and Menards is in back, turn on to Mercantile Dr. to access.

For the area, this is, by far, the best beer store that I have found. My father-in-law was telling me about this place, saying that it had "a lot of different beers," but to most people that means they have both Bud AND Miller, so I put off giving this place a shot. Only after I visited did I realize just how much this place has. Three Floyd’s, Dogfish Head, Bells, Unibroue, Goose Island, New Belgium, Great Lakes, Capital, many Belgians and single bottles galore. There is also a wide selection of some rarely seen macro swill if you are into that (Rhinelander, Panther, etc). I know that Lundeen’s has a store in DeKalb as well, but I’ve never been there, and everyone I’ve spoken to says the Sycamore one is much better. Look for the Portillo’s - this place is right next door.
