Just moved from the Chicago burbs to North Center. I know I'm in brewery heaven with begyle, corridor, half acre, and dove tail nearby but I haven't figured out the bottle shops in the area yet. Anyone got any recommendations?
Ugh! Lucky ducky. I lived in that area from 1997-2006. No breweries were there back then. Anyway, Bottles and Cans on Lincoln is probably your best hyperlocal bet. Going a bit further afield you've got Beer Temple, West Lakeview Liquors and Capone's within a few miles.
And of course, you can’t go wrong with any Binny’s. Helpful, knowledgeable employees, great selections, and the best prices. Never had a bad experience.
What @stevegoz said, mate of mine lives by there and I'm out west. This is where I usually go for good beer shops, only really Binny's out by me. Might have to open one, one day
+ Empirical for an additional brewery, Band of Bohemia for a great food + beer combo experience, and Beermiscuous to the south. Love this neighborhood (just here renting in Roscoe Village for a few months, but VERY jealous). Would love to live here permanently. [not kidding].
