    Hello,

    I am spending a few days in Chicago and then picking up a car in the Bensenville/ORD area and then driving home to MS. If I have to I will drive back in to town and hit either Binny's Lincoln Park or Beer Temple - HOWEVER, if there are good or comparable bottle shops anywhere along a generally southern route west of downtown that would probably be preferable. Would you agree?

    Are there any decent bottle shops anyone could recommend? My route is going to eventually either hit I-55 or I-57 south through IL. Thank you very much for any advice or info!

    Regards,

    Pantherburn

    Binny's Oak Brook is slightly off the first exit on I-88, or directly south on IL route 83 if you're coming from Bensenville. From there, it's an easy trip back onto I-294, which hits both I-55 and I-57.

    Bolingbrook Binnys is right off of I-55 at I-355.

    Thanks! I was looking at the ratings and the Binny's Lincoln Park location was rated very high. I was afraid that some Binny's stores may not have as good and/or fresh a selection. I take it they are all pretty much the same?

    They are not. I recommended Oak Brook because I know they have a pretty good selection with an active, knowledgeable beer manager (Alex).

    I can't speak to the Bolingbrook Binny's.

    Binnys are not all the same but they are all pretty similiar as to their selection. Some sell out of high demand stuff quicker than others though.
