Binny's Beverage Depot - South Loop
Binny's Beverage Depot is a Chicago institution, and the South Loop location is one of its largest, spanning multiple floors with escalators for carts full of purchases. It's known citywide for an enormous selection across wine, beer, and spirits, including harder-to-find bottles and even THC-infused sodas. This is the big-box option in the category: broad inventory, dedicated parking, and a layout built for browsing as much as grabbing a delivery order.
What people praise
- Reviewers repeatedly call the selection the largest they've found in the city
- Ample parking noted as a plus for a downtown location
- Helpful, friendly staff mentioned across multiple reviews
Worth knowing
- One reviewer found no sales staff available on the wine and beer side during a visit
- Online stock listings don't always match what's on the shelf
Our take: The most-reviewed name here by a wide margin, and the rating holds up at 4.7 despite the scale. If you want a specific bottle rather than whatever's convenient, start here.
