This place has craft beer and quick/easy street parking! It seems to be fairly new to the neighborhood and the staff is super friendly! My only complaint is that I wish they delivered! Ha ha. The store is clean, well lit and it has an amazing craft beer variety! I am so glad they moved into the neighborhood. We needed a classy liquor store and did I mention easy parking?

I need to De– Stress, therefore I shall shop for Booze! If you are a Craft Beer Drinker you will Love this Place. I’m quite certain you will find the Craft Beer of your choice here! However, I hate Craft Beer, Love Miller Lite and I came in here today actually looking for a couple of my favorite alchoholic beverages. So, yes, I am guilty of liking those frozen Daily Cocktails that come in plenty of great varieties, heck. they even have a light lemonade/ pink lemonade. so, I asked the owner person of Red Violin Wine/Spirits where I could find my favorite daily cocktails and gasp… he informs me he does not carry Daily’s. Oh, this is not looking good, however, I decide to go seeking my other favorite Sparkling Italian White Wine named Rustico and once again I was told they did not carry it. Excuse me, you carry like 10 zillion varieties of Craft Beers but no Daily’s and No Rustico? This is so not happening… And, where’s all the Miller Lite??? So, unfortunately I left this store empty handed, and I was bummed because today was my day off and I wanted to feel my Happy Buzz… So, since I’m no Craft Beer Drinker and they don’t have my Daily’s or Rustico don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. It’s a Binny’s life for me…

I’m very happy to have a liquor store so near by. The people that work there are very nice(although they don’t seem to know anything about wine) and the store is clean. They have a great selection of beers. However, they never seem to have sales. I love to pick up liquor and wine when it’s on sale and I always end up buying non-sale items as well.

Convenient, open late, and a good selection. No widget cans of beer, including Guiness tho. Yup, you can’t have it all.

Great craft beer selections from the better breweries! Decent domestic beer selection, but I wish there were more options in domestic 12 pks. Oh well, can’t win them all! Excellent wine and spirits selection too. Really, if you can’t find something here to sip on, that’s your problem. :-) All in all a great asset to the neighborhood!

A friendly, tidy and new bottle shop right around the corner? Sign me up! A very nice selection of craft beer, much of it refrigerated(always a plus). A nice wall off 22oz craft ‘bombers’ as well. Wine selection looked pretty decent as well, but I was there for the beer. Prices might run a buck or two higher than average in the area, but when I’m looking for something tasty and cold to get in my belly, I’ll happily return to Red Violin. BTW, being just a few steps from Rogers Park Fruit Market makes this a nice one-two punch for beer, wine and dinner fixins.
