Liquor Stores in Wilmette, IL

“I love this family. They revamped this place a few years ago and it’s so much better now. A chemical engineer major turned store owner and a family to help out. They always have my special WC brand before the company changes the size.”

“It's a chain supermarket... what else can I say about it. Sometimes they have good grocery prices and sometimes they don't. I noticed they put lots of merchandise on sale during the week... not on weekends.”

“Had my bridal shower here over the weekend and it was wonderful! It is a great space to hold a small event. The wine was delicious and the owner and woman pouring wine for us were so nice. Highly recommend!”

“Never a wait…. They didn’t have single Smirnoff Ice, only 12 pk. I was hoping the clerk would offer to let me break up the case, but he would not. Otherwise, there’s no comparison for convenience and speedy service as far as liquor purchases.”

“I just love this place. So much history here. Not a big chain. You open the door and walk back into a time when life was simpler and kinder. It just feels like a home, a community. You can feel it with all the young people working there. They are just great. Smart and very attentive, trying their best to do whatever they can to help. OK, I'm old, but it's one of those things that makes you feel that the world is going to be ok with kids like this. And they've been working there for at least 3 years from what they tell me. How many teens work in the same place for 3 years, or come back from college to work in the same place? That says something about the management. I had a question about their pricing as the charge is $55/hr. In the old days, it cost $6/per person per game. Then, $2 for shoes. So, $8 per person per game. That would be $32/half hour for 4 people. But, they are charging $27.50 for a half hour. That's actually cheaper if you do the math. Way back in the late 1950's my older brother was a pinsetter here before they had the machines to set the pins. One of his jobs was cleaning the sticky grease off the tables, railings and bowling balls from all the food people brought in. So there's that as a reason to ask people to not bring food in. (That's my same brother who dated Ann Margaret who used to live above the bowling alley!!!) So, it's a funky place with lots of memories for me. If you want that special sparkling new mall feeling, then this is not your place. If you want some atmosphere with everything you need, it's great. I'd love to be there for the Big Labowski Tournament. Anyway, for my taste: 5 Stars.”
