Hops & Grapes

Great place, great selection and they deliver! I was really impressed and they are very friendly.

Pros:
Great craft beer selection – best in Rogers Park by far. They frequently get their hands on hard-​to-​find beers that almost no one else has (for example, a few months ago they had Dark Horse Plead the 5^th in stock for a couple of *weeks*). And they are pretty good about updating their current inventory on Beer Menus, which is very helpful for those of us chasing our white whale craft beers around town.
Their prices on beer are quite fair, and occasionally a great deal (for example, they sell Off Color Apex Predator for $ 7.99).
Most of their extensive beer stock is already refrigerated.
The staff is friendly, polite, and helpful.
Cons:
Several times I have cracked open a popular craft beer that was purchased from here only to realize that the beer is well past the printed «Enjoy by» date. I guess I need to do a better job of making sure to check the date before purchasing – Caveat Emptor, after all – but this can be annoying, and it seems a little disrespectful of their craft beer customers (for whom quality is kinda important).
The store reeks of what I believe is incense. It’s strong – so strong that the plastic bags that they put your beer in reeks of the perfume smell when you get home. I honestly can’t comprehend why a store that sells everything in bottles and cans would need incense.
Overall:
If Hops and Grapes would make sure that all the beer they sell is fresh – and also get rid of the incense – I would gladly give the store a 5 star rating.

They have an amazing selection of craft beer and decent whiskey too. They’re incredibly nice and you can request anything they don’t have and he’ll get it for you! 6-​packs are a bit pricey ($ 10.99) but not bad at all. And where else would I find my favorite obscure watermelon beer? Amazing!

Best liquor store for the Rogers Park Sheridan Road set. Fantastic beer selection, and a more than respectable choice of Scotch whiskys to keep one occupied. Customer service is great, and they’ll take suggestions for items they don’t have that you may want.

So happened to be in the area looking for a place to buy drinks for a party and stumbled across this place. First off, love the name. However you’ll find more than beer and wine there. They have a pretty top notch liquor selection and if you’re a bourbon or tequila lover then you certainly won’t be disappointed. The store is relatively new, very clean, very bright and the staff is friendly. There’s even a list by the counter where they’re taking customer suggestions. I’ll pretend as though I didn’t see some dorks request for bacon flavored vodka… All and all a good experience and the prices are pretty solid as well. Some things better than others. I’ll be back for sure.

Finally a clean, well merchandised wine store that has a great selection and genuine, thoughtful customer service.

I am so excited this place opened around the corner from me. It’s great. There is a huge selection of beer and wine. I was really impressed with the beer selection. They have a ton of craft beers, as well as the regular brews. The best part is they let you mix and match your own six packs from a cooler with single craft beers.
