I wish I had a liquor cabinet in my apartment. I would stock it with one of everything from here. But since thats not feasible, I guess Id settle for living in the tequila aisle. Not allowed? Ugh, fine. How, about frequent visits? You got a deal! This is probably one of my favorite liquor stores ever (after Specs in Texas)!! They have a great variety of liquor, wine, beer, and practically any other item that would be included in a sin stock. I was in Streeterville for my first month in Chicago and discovered Uncork It when I was on the prowl for a particular pre-mixed mojito cocktail. I had already tried Dominicks and two other liquor stores that failed me, but Uncork It knew just how to satisfy this party gal. It took me a while to find it, and I think the staff could tell I was a bit perplexed, but they instantly directed me to the right area. The staff was incredibly nice my entire time there and very friendly. They even had the exact brand/mix I was looking for and a great variety of other liquors as well - they definitely have anything you could ever imagine. Ive gone a few times now to satisfy my sinful desires, and Uncork It never fails me. I will admit that the prices are a bit higher than Dominicks, which is only a couple blocks away, but Dominicks also only carries the standard brands and not many unconventional items. Also, Uncork It offers a preferred card that you can sign up for that offers special discounts and prices over time, which is really worth it if you go more than a few times (its free to join too!). Also, sometimes on the weekends they have a representative of various brands of wine, etc. giving out samples to try, which is really nice. The place has a ton of variety and is a great neighborhood liquor store - they have everything you could need/want. They even encourage the beer pong enthusiast/college girl in me by selling ping-pong balls. Maybe I should add some beer pong to my housewarming party?

Im one starring this atrocious place. With as many places to purchase wine in Chicago, you are sure to find a place more deserving of your dollars, especially in this economy. I talked to a miserable woman who was sarcastic, moody, and didnt care in the least bit to help me. She sighed and "Ughed" every time I had a question or asked for a recommendation. She was especially frustrated that I inquired if they put bottles of wine in gift bags with notes (as most stores offer to wrap gifts), which after a final snarky comment, I decided to take my business elsewhere. Dont give Un Cork It any more undeserving dollars! Until they post that the wench of a woman working there was fired!

Stopped in here today after work to grab a bottle of vino and a snack or two for dinner. Staff was courteous and helpful, selection wide and they even had some very nice sale wines to choose. If you sign up for their customer loyalty program youll find even more bargains. The store is conveniently located with great hours. It feels good to shop a local business! Its also a convenient spot to get a Christmas tree during the season as they invite a vendor to set up on the sidewalk just outside. Theyve been a Streeterville staple for many years and we locals enjoy having them around.

I am shocked at how mean the lady at the register is. I have been there twice and it seems like I am inconveniencing them by asking a simple question on wine. Better to simply go to Whole Foods across the street if you just want a bottle of wine or Binnys if you want to buy liquor for a party. I dont recommend

Nice people, great service, good prices, wide selection in imported beers as well as wine and liquor. Wonderful to visit a town and find such a fun store so near the hotel. We were there daily, got to know the staff, and found it a nice respite at the end of the day.

The owners are very kind and will bend over backwards to help you find what you need and deliver it on time. That said, their services like delivery are one of a kind and they are good at it. Selection is excellent however, you will pay a premium on certain things.

Fantastic service. I will definitely go to these guys again and would recommend them to anybody in need of outstanding customer service. Gidget went above and beyond to help me with a rather large and last minute order.

They miss marked the price on drink section. When i brought it up, i was offered my money back. I feel the manger should have matched the price advertised especially it was only a $6 difference.

they have an amazing collection. Only thing i felt was it was pricier for the regular booze than some department stores. But still, really like the place.
