    If they don't have it or something comparable, it doesn't exist. This is one of the most varied liquor stores I've ever been in. Pick up a bottle of J.T.S. Brown!

    Great beer selection, awesome liquor selection, and very helpful staff. I don't suggest looking for wine here unless you want something cheap. Good sales and prices.

    Great selections of local craft beer, liquor and wine. You'll definitely find what you're looking for. They often have tastings too.

    One of the few places in the city that carries products from Iowa's Mississippi River Distilling Co. Worth checking out

    Zander is, by far, the most capable expert where cigars are concerned. Always personable, and forever knowledgable, he's the guy to see in Binny's humidor.

    1st time there having a hard time looking for the Bordeaux, but I did find it. I like the one off of Sheffield.

    Get your preferred card (or whatever they call it) and get your discount on good wine that doesn't taste sour.

    If you aren't purchasing a 4-pack of Wells' Banana Bread Beer you must be lacking taste buds. What could be better than bananas and beer all in the same bottle?

    Moscato Bricco Riella for $9.99 is delicious on the rocks in a wine glass with a float of Hum. Think instant bubbly sangria.

    Ask for "Ben the Beer Guy" and have him put you on the Binny's Ivanhoe Castle Beer Mail list. Great insider newsletter, and invites to tasting events, pairings, etc. Read more

    Highly frowned upon to not have a Binnys card. I've been hassled by their staff multiple times for not bringing it with me.
