“Good shop assortment, many alcohol brands and friendly atmosphere. However, shop have serious issues with the vape products. Even if you will test vape directly in front of cashier - first few puffs will be perfect. However, after 10-20 puffs vape become completely burnt. Tested three times and wasted money. Will not make more attempts to buy any vape here. However shop is recommended for other products.”

The selection is outstanding and you can drink your purchase on-site or take it to go. All cans and bottles are sold as singles so you can mix and match. There's also about 20 rotating taps poured in various sizes. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. For someone who prefers buying singles and drinking sample pours this is the shop I've always dreamed of!”

9:30AM - 11PM
590 E Central Rd, Des Plaines“In the suburbs my liquor stops are limited to the purchasing of airplane bottles. At Payless they have as regular a selection as most shops but with a few extras. Specialties like: Kraken rum, Camarena which is a premium tequila when set against Cuervo. Titos in a glass bottle which is a plus for those that enjoy the crisp flavor of a good vodka. (Keep'em in the freezer and shoot'em when you like.) Also it looks as though the serving size is larger than most bottles of that type but it is the same measure. I was also pleasantly surprised to find Stolichnaya minis. Another good vodka brand. In suburban liquor stores one can often find "airplane bottles" aka minis or "nips." Though, not every business will offer a finer collection. Mini bottles run from .99 cents to a few dollars depending. Usually the premium spirits carrying the higher pricing. Their setup along the counter is arranged like candy assortments found in similar convenience shops. Since I was waiting on bbq from the pizza joint next door, I had some time to kill stocking up on minis. The owner seemed nice. He was talking sports while I was making my choices. Although the name is Payless liquors.. I doubt that anyone is actually paying less for their booze. If you want discounted booze, head to a big chain. If you want to find something different or to save time, hit a convenience store.”
“Stopped here to take some wine. It was almost closing time around 8, I was about to take a wrong one, but cashier helped in choosing a right one. Good service, he was friendly as well. I also grabbed some snakes, gatorade for my travel”
“Huge selection. They have something for everyone. They have whiskeys wines liquors pretty much anything you can want. On top of that they're friendly and legitimately seem appreciative of your business. Highly recommend.”
“Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. The selection is out of this world. Broke down and bought a bottle of Laphroaig Lore, I could not resist. Can’t wait to be back, all the way from ??.”
“This place absolutely blew me out of the water! Unbelievable selection that I can’t find anywhere else. The guy behind the counter was incredibly knowledgeable about all that is craft beer, and I was beyond impressed.”
“Nice collection of rare bourbon and price is good too and owner has a bunch of customers Bourbourn rare group he will notify every week which new rare bourbon comes! Now this is my too go store love it”
“Great selection of Beer that I wouldn't have expected before walking in. Found exactly what I was looking for and the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Will definitely be back.”
“Best damn assistance from beer department. They helped me search high and low for the perfect beer as a gift. Super helpful staff as they explained each beer recommended. I went with the Pipeworks Dortmunder. Thank you for the great experience”
“This place has great selection, very economical prices and the owner is very knowledgeable. Since I've switched from smoking to vaping, I've gone to multiple gas stations, smoke shops, etc. And this place is By Far the best; if you haven't gone, I'd highly recommend checking it out”
