I love this place. Their selection is great for being a small store. They always have my favorite wines in the cooler and the employees are always pleasant.

Good beer and liquor selection (plenty of local craft beers). Friendly service that you’d expect from a family business. The guys also know beer and are happy to chat with you, give suggestions, or even take suggestions on what they can add to their inventory.

I purchased a keg from Rayan’s and they were great every step along the way. First, they were able to get a premium brand (Oberon!) no problem. Second, they didn’t blanch when I changed my order from 2 kegs to 1. (Note: they didn’t have the keg in stock yet — special orders have to be in by Thursday for weekend pick-​up). Third, they were incredibly nice when I picked up the keg. Fourth, they were flexible and didn’t charge more when I returned the empty after four days. I would definitely recommend Rayan’s.

I love Rayan’s. I can get something fancy enough so many parents can make their cocktails, as well as some whiskey cheap enough that I don’t mind murdering it with honey and lemon for my wintertime toddies. I also love Papa Rayan’s, which is nearby and has more in the why-​bother-​going-​to-​the-​grocery-​store realm.

I used to live near the one on Wilson and now I live near this one.
The prices aren’t amazingly low but it’s family-​owned, and I like the family that runs it. They’re good, down-​to-​earth people!

Who doesn’t love their neighborhood liquor store? Cold beer, good wine, lotto tickets, and incense? This place has the biggest impulse purchase selection of incense I have ever seen at a liquor store check out. that has my attention, lol.
Friendly shop guys & gals, and if you make a huge liquor purchase they will help you carry it to your car. That is service, bar none! Parking is tricky, but my fave liquor stores are usually the ones I can walk too ;)

Small but good selection at a reasonable price!
Get a 6 pack of PBR tall boys for 3.99.
Get Flying Dog 6 pack for 7.99.
a decent wine selection as well.
Not too shabby
friendly cashier.

It’s more or less what I want from a corner liquor store. It’s clean, it’s well lit, it’s got a not unfriendly people working there. It’s got booze. It’s got beer. (There’s wine, too, but I don’t drink that, so I’d rather they use the sapce for beer.) It’s not huge, so the selection isn’t wonderful, and the pricing isn’t the best. But it’s not somewhere you’d trek to, so I don’t think that’s a problem.

Family run store, always clean, friendly, and fully stocked. These folks take pride in their work and show an integrity that impresses me. A great local store!

I’m late! I’m late for a very important date! And by «date», I mean hanging with Matty Z. And by «hanging», I mean drinking.
Running behind and in need of a B to BYO, I popped into Rayan’s Discount Liquors with low expectations of at least finding a 40 oz. of PBR. What I walked into was a hidden gem in the Uptown area!
Rayan’s carries craft beers, Strongbow in bottles, a decent selection of wines, and even chilled bottles of Vueve. What the!!! My brain was not prepared for this many choices.
Rayan’s is manned by a delightful older gentleman who puts the customer back in customer service. This little liquor store is a treat.

An excellent selection of craft beers and fine wines is the big surprise at this tiny little liquor store. Without a doubt, one of my favorite stops.
The only difficulty here is that I end up spending way too much time in here making decisions– soooo many choices.

When I bought my condo six years ago, I was delighted that Rayan’s was across the street. They have an excellent selection of wine at reasonable prices. All the guys who work there are really nice and friendly. If you are dining at Mixteco, stop at Rayan’s for a wonderful Spanish or South American wine to accompany your dinner.

If you read my review of the Rayan’s (Mr. Rayan is apparently the Starbucks of Ravenswood) a block north, and I you know did, feel free to apply it to this one as well. There’s no point in clogging up the tubes with redundancies.
I do, for some reason, think of this as the nicer Rayan’s. In fact I think he built two almost on the same block just so people could say, «We need some booze, lets go to Rayan’s, but this time lets go to the nice one.»

Does Rayan’s Discount Liquors need a review? No. The breadth and depth of the transactions that are conducted here do not require exposition — just consult that name.
Yet Mextico (fine Mexican cuisine) is across the street and requires you to BYOB. I would not hesitate to, once again, to get my B at RDL.
I found the Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre (former American beer of the year) in RDL astride the standard set of domestic and quasi-​imports. Selection is ample.
Add to that the friendly cigar chomping, hockey watching gentlemen behind the counter and we have a genuine Chicago institution.
