Binny's has numerous locations in the Chicago-land area so look at there website for locations and times. I reviewed Sam's Wines (wide selection and okay prices). Now Binny's is the opposite (Best prices and okay selection) Binny's just has rock bottom prices! There prices in comparison to other places are just dirt cheap overall. The selection is modest not to small but not to big they carry all the major brands and have a semi-wide selection of most items you will be looking for, but if your looking to try something hard to find they may not have it. The upside is they have a really nice website so you can check there to see if they have it and can ship it to you! The cigar selection, is by far the cheapest retail cigar selection I have ever seen! Which you can purchase on-line as well! They have fantastic cigars and cheap prices. The staff is capable but not as knowledgeable as Sam's wine they know there stuff at Binny's but I think the staff turnover is high, 2 cigar guys have quit in the last 2 years since I have been going. They also have a cheese and olive counter at some locations. The only problem is, I think quite expensive but if you just want a couple of fun cheeses then its okay. You could do better at a grocer. Overall, Binny's is a fantastic place with great low prices you should check out.
