“ We traveled to Chicago recently (we are based in NYC) to host on our immersive multisensory whiskey corporate experiences. We carefully researched high end quality stores in Chicago and has also heard many good things about Warehouse Liquors. This was a beautiful experience. Our owner, Rachna, spend some time picking the right whiskies for our experience. Not only did we find the carefully picked whiskies we were looking for, the team was extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. They even went above and beyond in checking their inventory for specific asks and helping us carry bottles to our owner's hotel because it was raining. Our owner, deliberately chose a hotel within walking distance of this liquor store and we are so glad she did because this will be our go to store whenever we host our experiences in NYC. Well done team Warehouse Liquors! Until next time! ”
“ Very interesting store that became my go to for buying bubbles during our staycation at the Congress Hotel. The location was in a comfortable walking distance from the hotel. The overall interior is warm and inviting....there was a little dog there in the front, chilling like a villain. As I walked in I was greeted and asked if I needed any help in locating anything, explaining that I was just browsing. While I was happy to be greeted, I was even more happy about the fact that they left me alone to look around and make my selections. I am a big fan of customer service, but sometimes I like to just wander about until something hits my fancy. The location itself is not that large, but it does not disappoint in the selection of wines, spirits, beers and bubbles. If you are a beer drinker, then they definitely have stuff for you. I was surprised to see that they had Lake Effect in the cooler...don't see it at a lot of places. There were also a few bubbles that I was not familiar with and was happy to see the place cards explaining what they were instead of having to pull out my phone to google it. I found the prices to be quite reasonable, considering that the store is downtown. And I was quite surprised to see that they do tastings on a regular basis, on Thursdays and Fridays. The calendar is on their website (beers and whiskey, etc. on Thursdays and wines on Fridays). This is most definitely going to be my go to store when I am down in this area. ”
“ Reggie was great and I just opened a handful of store picks from them that were great. I look forward to going to their Thursday wine tastings and Friday whiskey tastings ”
“ From the moment I stepped into the intimate and historic setting of Warehouse Liquors' tasting room, I knew I was in for an extraordinary evening. The "Just Trust Us" series is a masterclass in bourbon appreciation, and this event was no exception. With an ambiance that perfectly blends tradition and exclusivity, it was a night of delightful surprises and unparalleled bourbon tasting. The selection of bourbons was nothing short of spectacular, featuring rarities like the 2022 and 2023 Old Forester Birthday Bourbons, the elusive Willet Purple Top, and both the 2022 and 2023 King of Kentucky. Each pour was a revelation, offering a unique story and a taste profile that was both complex and profoundly satisfying. Zach, Minnie, and Tori deserve a standing ovation for their impeccable service and deep knowledge of bourbon. They guided us through each tasting with expertise and enthusiasm, making the experience not just enjoyable but also educational. Their passion for bourbon and commitment to providing an exceptional experience shone through every aspect of the evening. The thoughtful touches, from the limited ticket availability ensuring an intimate setting to the carefully paired small bites and the final pizza toast, all contributed to an atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration. The chance to win a coveted raffle bottle added an extra layer of excitement to the event, making every moment feel even more special. Warehouse Liquors has created something truly magical with their tasting events. It's a gathering that transcends the ordinary, where the love for whiskey and the joy of sharing it with others create memories that last a lifetime. I left not only with a deeper appreciation for bourbon but also with a sense of gratitude for having been part of such a remarkable evening. To anyone who might be considering attending a future event, my advice is simple: do not hesitate. This is an experience you'll treasure, a chance to savor some of the finest bourbons available in the company of fellow enthusiasts and expert hosts. Thank you, Warehouse Liquors, for an unforgettable journey through the world of bourbon. ”
“ Liked this little liquor store in the South Loop of Chicago. The place is easy to find on South Wabash Street just outside the Loop area. Street parking is available in front. It appears to be a mom n' pop or mom n' son kind of business, but they had a nice selection of all the usual things one might be looking for. They also had a number of different bourbons - some hard to find, so they get extra points for that. Nice selection of craft beers and a variety of wines. Store was clean and layout was intuitive, and the personnel - especially the mom behind the counter with her dogs -- were friendly and attentive. ”
“ Pleasant service and simple to navigate around the store. Clean and organized with no clutter or trip hazards. I was quite impressed and loved the location just around the corner from my hotel which was perfect and a short walk. It's a bit pricey but expected since it's located nearby major hotels. ”
“ What a gem! We weren't really looking for wine but as we passed by, thought, "why not?" And found ourselves in a veritable Narnia of alcohol options. Not only was there a selection of things to purchase and take home for later, but we found our way to an excellent selection of chilled options. After narrowing down to a selection of types I.e. three of the refrigerated sections, Riley came to our rescue, dropping not only knowledge and expertise, but excellent recommendations. On the way out I spotted a familiar, if somewhat rare label. Prisma, an excellent winery out of Chile. Not only did they have the Pinot noir in a bottle but we snagged a 250 mL can of both the Sauvignon Blanc and the rosé. I can confirm that unlike some other canned wines, this one tastes just as good as the bottle. What a find! This place is a treasure and I can't wait to return next time I'm in the area. ”
