Latest reviews from Willowbrook
| 54 /100 7560 S. QUINCY STREET “Insanely hard place to find if its dakr and your not in the area. Mancave/basement type warehouse feel inside. Bartenders were almost too chatty. Beer is pretty mediocre, they could use some adjustments to get on par with other similarly located breweries.“ |
| 78 /100 7560 S. QUINCY STREET “Newly opened in July 2017, it is located in an industrial park, somewhat hard to find as many breweries in the area. Parking has overflow in a Target lot. Video games, board games, TVs and music as entertainment. Medium long bar. Owners were informative and talked about have several selections on tap. Sampled only four beers but hope to try more. Some were better than others but they will get their brewing chops soon as with any just opened taproom. Food trucks in very near future.“ |
| 98 /100 Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket (Restaurant) 645 JOLIET ROAD (OLD US 66) “A gem! Have been going there since I was too young to realize where it was. Excellent, down home food, especially fried chicken, separate, well stocked bar/tap room with good craft selections, and family owned all these years. (about 60 for me) Appeared on Diners, Drive- Ins, and Dives.“ |
| 90 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “This place is badass! If you are from Cincy think Party Source, DEPs Ft. Thomas, or Jungle Jim’s but w/ everything we can’t get here. Great open setup. Good prices and friendly staff.“ |
| 82 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “ryecatcher told me this place was a dump, but I didn’t believe him; so I went to check it out. Boy, was he wrong. This place is awesome. Great selection and the cashier bitched about not being able to watch the Blackhawks while working. Well worth the slight detour from Gurnee to NKY.“ |
| 84 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Great craft beer selection that they’ve been expanding over time. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Prices in line with the area, sometimes they have sales that are pretty good. Great for wine and spirits as well. A small humidor that’s decent, but not spectacular.“ |
| 84 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “The selection is a hair better than the other stores, plus they have a wide variety of sample 12ers from various brewers. The prices are about the same as any other Binny’s. They have some awesome cheeses though.“ |
| 78 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “They held a bottle of beer for me and after I picked it up had a great chat with one of the managers who was really helpful. The selection got ten times better than it was. Nice place. Not in Cook County.“ |
| 82 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “This Binny’s is pretty good. Not the best in the area, and it’s the closest to me. I go to the one in Glen Ellyn. However, they have a giant beer section which has improved with the new beer guy they brought it. They also have a great Jolly Pumpkin selection. It’s in cook county, so you get hit with the extra tax. The beer guy here is great, though.
Edited 12/17/09. Apparently the place is in DuPage county, but that point is moot because the alcohol tax is statewide. Also, in the area, I would say this place has a better belgian section that most others, but the American section kind of sucks.“ |
| 72 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “I am lucky this place is close to my home the only draw back is it closes early they have a great selection and the staff is friendly and knowledgable“ |
| 80 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Nice selection here, kinda small place compared to the other binnys.“ |
| 68 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Good selection. Too bad this place is only open until 9pm.“ |
| 66 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “At this writing, the store has been bought out by Binny’s, while Carlo DiCarlo (yes, his real name) retires. Too soon to know how this will affect selection; ideally, DiCarlo’s distribution deals can continue and be added to Binny’s. Anyway, a relaxed atmosphere for a store. Main focus is on wine, with a section set off by wooden shingles in the ceiling, but a fine roundup of local and worldwide beers. Good collection of Rogues and DFH.“ |
| 70 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “A big store with a nice selection tons of wine and liquor, and a good selection of good beer, though not organized particularly well. Not as good as Sam’s in Downers but you can find some good rare beers here. Was in on 02/15/06 and they were shifting the beer around, it appears that it will get less shelf space then previously. Selection had not changed much though, and there was more Three Floyds beers than I recall in the past.
Update 03/09 - Obviously this is a Binny’s now with all the associated pro’s and con’s. Better service, better ambiance, a bit mroe pricy than before.“ |
| 56 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Please notice that this is NOT the Armanetti’s of mythology. Rather, this is the equivalent of a Binny’s, not bad, but not great. Again, don’t go too far out of your way to hit up this place.“ |
| 44 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Rating AFTER Binnys takeover
This place has gone to okay to poor. Lots of stuff that is just not interesting.“ |
| 70 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “I was pleased to be greeted by the 10 foot high yellow letters that spelled "LIQUOR" on the side of the building. Their selection was quite diverse... you’d browse one side of the aisle finding singles and sixes from Belgium, Germany, Czech, Poland, U.K... then turn around and see a diverse selection of Canadian and American offerings, including nearly complete lines from Rogue, Dogfish Head, Flying Dog, Bell’s, etc. I’d say the selection was over 200. Prices were average or higher... and there were very few "specials". My only real complaint lies with their cooler selection... not much beyond macros and "staple" imports like Guinness, Corona, Beck’s.“ |
| 80 /100 Binny’s Beverage Depot - Willowbrook (Kingery) (Beer Store) 6920 KINGERY HIGHWAY “Heading home from a bad job interview, I spotted this place and decided to stop in to find ’something’ for the ’fridge. I walked into a large, clean liquor store. Walking towards the back (on the left, as you enter), my eyes began to widen. Two LONG aisles stacked with imports and micros from all the hell over the place. I looked into my wallet, counted my bucks, then jogged back to the front for a shopping cart. This is an amazing place to buy freshly bottled brews of ALL types from ALL over. No exaggeration. I can’t stop here without throwing myself into debt... but it’s worth it.“ |
