Binny’s Beverage Depot

I wouldn’t say I frequently shop at Binny’s but if I’m looking for something in particular… I’ll go. I had been on the hunt for a wine I tried at a steakhouse in Las Vegas, it was around $ 15/​glass and I knew I could get the wine by the bottle a LOT cheaper to enjoy again. I was going to Fresh Thyme anyway so I decided to stop in as there was a Binny’s in the same strip mall. I had just seen this wine at Mariano’s a week before at $ 25.99/bottle. I decided to check the price at Binnys to find it was $ 20.99 so I purchased it! Happy Customer here! I also picked up a bottle of win to bring for a friend’s birthday along with a $.99 gift bag. The cashier told me wine & champagne accumulate points… apparently I didn’t know this when I signed up for their rewards card! I will make sure I do all of my wine shopping here from now on!

This is a massive wine, beer, alcohol, and cool mixers/​soda distributor in Naperville, Illinois. I have to admit, shamefully enough, that I am a big Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fan (yes I can feel your judgement) and had been dying to try the LVP Sangria which is mentioned often on the show. No where anywhere near me sells this and when I realized Binny’s Beverage Depot had this available, I knew I had to stop by.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the size and selection of items available here. First, the prices were incredibly reasonable and they have EVERYTHING you could want in the way of wine or mixers. I was also very impressed by how friendly and knowledgeable the staff was. It was a really slow Monday night when I stopped by so I got a great deal of personalized attention.
I didn’t feel judged by my purchased and actually enjoyed a lighthearted conversation with one of the gentlemen who worked there. This was a wonderful shopping experience.

Be always been a big fan of Binny’s, great service, great selection, very fair prices, best place to get booze and wine for sure. They even let you sample things you want to try, which was shocking and awesome, no more wasting money on those «hmm will I like this?» Gambles that all end badly lol I’ll be a Binny’s «lifer»

Stopped by in the morning on 23^rd to avoid Christmas shopping rush, none of the employees showed any interest in customers, more of a look at the floor and walk fast attitude, there have been few groups of floor «salesman» that have congregated together but didn’t care either, cashier was zombiefied and so bored it was disturbing to look at that circus. I have only shopped at Binny’s in Bloomingdale but the store in Naperville can’t compare to it, two different Worlds.

Binny’s, today was the first time I was ashamed to have ever spent money in your establishment. I frequent your Naperville location and typically when I enter the craft beer area I get greeted and asked if I need any help. I am a craft beer guy and I also am a big scotch guy as well. Today I went into the rare liquor room with the intentions of bringing one home for my collection. This room is surrounded by glass and you can see the entire store from inside and you can see the inside of this room from the rest of the store as well. I was in there for a little over 10 minutes by myself and nobody stopped in to ask how I was or if I was interested in anything. All the while many of the employees looked in the room and just moved on. Another gentleman (at least in his upper 50’s maybe 60’s and in a suit) came in and within 1 minute a Binny’s employee was in there asking him if he would like to take a look at anything in particular. The customer didn’t know a ton about scotch and asked some good questions and was eventually told that what he was looking for would be found in the regular Scotch isle and not in this room, as he was considering a Glenlivet 18 or possibly a Bunnahabhain as a gift. As the employee left he glanced over at me and continued to walk away. I waited a little over 5 more minutes and left. Just because I am «younger» (in my 30’s) doesn’t mean I A) can’t afford a good scotch. B) Don’t enjoy a good scotch C) don’t belong in that room and D) don’t deserve any service as I can’t just grab a bottle from the locked area. I was planning on getting a nice distillers edition and you had a couple nice ones including a 24 year that looked great. I was and am still amazed that this happened. I guess I just got «Pretty Woman’d»…Sincerely, a former customer.

Excellent selection of beers, wines and spirits. Unfortunately, they did not have what I was looking for, «Dos Maderas Rum» and «Blantons Bourbon», but the knowledgable staff pointed me toward a couple of their recommended alternanatives and I was extremely pleased with the results.
In addition, they also took the time to check with the other stores for availability and their delivery schedule to let me know when to expect these spirits to be in stock next.

Thats weird is the radio watching me? As I start this review I hear a Binnys radio commercial… Lotsa Lotsa selection of Beer Wine Whiskey and others. I came here to buy some Mangria from my favorite comedian radio host Adam Carolla. Took bottle to riverwalk in Naperville and me and my lady had a great time walking around downtown Naperville. If your looking for hard to find stuff this place is a goid bet to have it in stock. Prices seemed pretty good on other stuff I saw but didnt buy. Ill go here fir my next drunken walk fix.

I don’t even know where to start. This place is larger than the largest grocery store in my current home town of Newport News Virginia. I think has EVERYTHING. Some decent prices. Everything includes spirits beer wine, craft local import you name it. Simply amazing. If you need adult beverages for a dinner party or catering a reception this is the place

Hugggge selection before they remodeled… even bigger since they remodeled. Knowledgeable, virtuous staff. tell them what you have a taste for or what’s for dinner and they’ll point you in the right direction. Their new wine cellar is pretty cool looking. They also have a humidor with a good cigar selection, and the guys that work in there are also very knowledgeable.

I was a little bit sad about moving to Naperville. I don’t mean this as an insult to Naperville, but I was sad to leave my home in Michigan with it’s low cost of living, many, many breweries and abundant natural beauty. Then, on my first weekend in Naperville hunting for houses, my husband and I discovered Binny’s and things started looking up. Binny’s is a liquor store that’s the size of a Wal-​Mart. They have pretty much everything you could ever want. The staff that walk around are very helpful and knowledgeable. They’ve looked up specific wines for me after a honeymoon tasting trip in the Pacific Northwest. There’s one lady who runs the checkout on the weekends who’s very crabby and not very nice to customers (we always seem to be in her line) but I don’t let her get me down.
The ABSOLUTE best part about Binny’s is the tastings that they hold. This was yet another surprise discovery within the first few weeks of living in Naperville. My husband was perusing the shelves and discovered a sign for a scotch tasting event later that day. He called me excitedly and insisted that we go. I sort of thought we’d show up, taste a few scotches, then head on to dinner in downtown Naperville. Instead, there were more than 40 scotches!!! Some of them were over 300 $ per bottle and the tasting was COMPLETELY FREE. There were so many different scotches to taste that I actually had to spit them out or else I wouldn’t have survived the night. I was so impressed. We’ve been to beer festivals where the same amount of tastings would have been at least 35 $ a person. Of course, we bought enough that I’m sure they made their money on us, but I was still really happy. They also have wine tastings that are the same quality.
The Naperville Binny’s location has been under construction for the past year, and we’ve been staying away because it’s been a bit crazy. They put the tastings on hold during that time. Now, the construction is complete, but the tastings haven’t resumed. I will be really disappointed if that trend continues. The selection is still amazing, but the tastings are what really made Binny’s special. I hope that resumes. Otherwise, we’ll have to drive further away to get our wine tasting fix.

This is a particularly good Binny’s location. The beer is nicely organized, and there is ample variety. I especially liked the seasonal display of fall beers. Good selections for scotch as well. I plan to return to this store to pickup a bottle of Bowmore that I had not observed in other locations.

Great beer selection. Always helpful staff walking around the beer area, which is helpful especially after everything gets moved, and you have no idea where your usual stuff is. Although, their signage «west coast», «east coast», etc is a nice help in locating your brew. Large wine and booze selection, this place is HUGE! Largest Binny’s i have been in. They have cigars too but I’ve never browsed.
Sale $ on booze/​wine/​beer are good, regular prices just OK. But as I said, huge, unparalled selection…

If you do come here don’t speak with anyone working there because you’ll just get pissed off. Everyone I have come into contact here with really have poor customer service skills.
I will not be giving this place any of my money.

Although I feel like this Binny is smaller then all the others Binnys, I do love it. They always have my crafted beers and wines so that’s a PLUS!!! The staff is always courteous and pleasant and always willing to assist me whenever I walk though the door.

Binny’s are always solid liquor stores. Huge selection of wine, beer, spirits. Knowledgeable staff. This Naperville location is way big relative to the Grand Ave. city location.
Specials are often good but regular prices a bit steep.
I dislike the badgering that employees tend to do here though. I’m just browsing around, don’t need to be asked 3 times if I need help. I’ll find you if I need help.
Rewards program is so-​so, points only for wine. C’mon, add beer!

Huge selection, with tons of pumpkin options for fall– even Pumking, which is hard to find sometimes. Stores is easy to navigate. Help is available, if needed. I liked that they had 3 lanes open even on a Sunday afternoon– they were staffed for a crowd about to watch football. Good location!

I rarely drink much and I needed to get my bud helping me with a brake job some intoxicants. You never buy the beer before the brake job’s done. After my visit with Pep Boys, I gave them a call to see if they had a special on my buds favorite brew. They didn’t, but I made a stop in here anyway and I received a warm greeting by the employees, even though the store was going to be closing shortly.
I think the chain has a pretty good following. It appears to be well laid out and is a very large store. If you need to get your drink on, this is the place.

Some women like to buy makeup… and shoes and purses and other crap to accentuate their femininity. I like to buy beer, to accentuate my femininity, of course. You don’t have to ask me twice if I want to check out Binny’s when driving past it. Actually, I think I was the one who was all «…wait, DOYOUWANTTO?!» after it was suggested. I mean, who doesn’t like buying beer after coming from a brewery where you were drinking beer? Pfft.
This Binny’s is huge. I mean, I’m used to the South Loop one (with the awful parking lot that rivals the castle location for the title of «worst parking lot ever») and the Marcey St. one, but in comparison to some of the others I’ve been in, daaaaaang Naperville!
Walked in looking clueless and as other reviews mentioned, the employees here are so pleasant and helpful. Was directed to the beer section pretty much right away thanks to the happy fella up front. I’m not used to friendly Binny’s employees, so this threw me off for a minute. In fact, I was 99% positive that in order to work for them it was required that you hate interacting with people other than your co-​workers. That’s definitely not the case here though. It’s almost as if the Naperville Binny’s doesn’t know they’re in the suburbs and instead thinks they’re in the south. Like Florida south though, not Arizona south.
Back to beer. I usually have my smaller beer stores, as my check-​ins would indicate, but Binny’s is great because they carry more than just local brews. They definitely have the largest selection of Clown Shoes than anywhere else I’ve been, which is nice because those beers are pretty affordable and I like to blow my paycheck in one spot. Typically, they’ll also have the beers that can be hard to get when your usual spot only gets 1 or 2 cases in (such as Dirt Wolf). For this reason, Binny’s can still lure me in.
There is a large parking lot (to accommodate the large store, plus other stores) and it’s on the route from Solemn Oath to Cross Town. Beer on draft followed by beer in bottles (for home consumption!) followed by wings. I think I found a new routine to convince myself to go to Naperville. Beer, beer, wings. Yes.

Binny’s basically single-​handedly allowed me to convert my father into a whiskey connoisseur. I like to do my own research before heading in, as I’m usually underwhelmed by the assistance of the workers present, but I’m almost always able to find the brands I’m looking for. The only downside is that they close at 9pm so you gotta plan ahead and get your booze early.
Cheers!

Going into Binny’s makes me feel like an alcoholic in an… alcohol store! If you’re thirsty, you’re bound to find something to quench your thirst here. Great selection on everything — beer, wine, liquor… they even have a cigar room. If you’re looking for gifts, this is a great place to go to if you run out of other ideas.
This Binny’s is clean and the staff is friendly. It’s close to Katy Dumpling House, which is convenient. They also have a Binny’s card club, much like a Jewel card, where you can save on alcohol by getting the club card price instead of the regular price. Not only that, but you can earn a 2% Binny’s rebate for $ 500 of eligible wine purchase. Membership is free.
Ya ya, who’s got spirit? Binny’s does!
