You're hosting in two hours and the wine rack is empty, so which alcohol delivery service in Chicago you order from matters more than the app you order through. The options on this page have logged 6,843 reviews between them, and the ratings are unusually tight, every one sits between 4.5 and 4.8. With a spread that narrow, the real differentiator isn't quality, it's selection and how fast the order actually shows up.

Short answer: Binny's Beverage Depot - South Loop leads for alcohol delivery in Chicago, with 4.7 stars across 2,747 reviews and one of the widest selections in the city. Burnham Liquors is close behind at 4.8 stars and 1,152 reviews, a South Loop favorite with online ordering built in. For rare and allocated bottles, Superior Wine & Liquor (4.8, 651 reviews) stays open past midnight most nights.

Binny's Beverage Depot - South Loop

4.72,747 Google reviews

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

How we score

We rank each store by its live Google rating and how many customers have actually reviewed it, since a high rating on a handful of reviews means less than one backed by thousands. We also weigh how recently people are still reviewing, since a store that was great two years ago and quiet since is a different bet than one still earning reviews this month. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does alcohol delivery cost in Chicago? (2026)

None of these publish a flat delivery fee on their Google listing, and pricing depends on order size, delivery distance, and whether you’re ordering through the store’s own site or a third-party app. Check delivery minimums and fees directly with each store before ordering.

Serving all of Chicago

These stores cover South Loop, River North, and Streeterville, with delivery radius varying by location. If you’re searching alcohol delivery near me in Chicago, confirm your address falls within each store’s delivery zone, since some (like Burnham Liquors) run their own ordering platform while others rely on third-party delivery apps.

What to ask before you order

  • What’s the delivery minimum and fee for my address?
  • How long does delivery usually take during peak hours?
  • Do you carry the specific bottle or brand I’m looking for in stock right now?
  • Is ID checked at delivery, and does someone need to be present?
  • Do you offer non-alcoholic or low-ABV options?
  • Can I place a large order for an event with advance notice?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these alcohol delivery options?

We pulled every liquor store with a real Google Business Profile offering delivery in Chicago, then ranked by rating, review volume, and recency of reviews.

How often is this updated?

We refresh the data periodically. This page was last verified in July 2026.

Which alcohol delivery store in Chicago is open latest?

Superior Wine & Liquor stays open until midnight most nights, later than the others on this list.

Which store has the widest selection for alcohol delivery in Chicago?

Binny’s Beverage Depot, at both its South Loop and Downtown locations, is repeatedly praised for having the largest inventory in the category.

The bottom line

Binny’s Beverage Depot - South Loop is the safe default if you want the widest selection and the most reviews backing it up. If you’re ordering specifically for delivery convenience, Burnham Liquors’ online platform is worth a look. Whichever you pick, confirm the delivery window before you order if timing matters.
