Bottles

this bar is more like a home than a place to forget your worries at and regret every decision you made the day after. everyone who works there is above friendly and VERY knowledgable about their product. if you like a certain drink that they don’t have, they will recommend something akin to or better than what you wanted. there’s no food but they do offer snacks, and you can order any delivery there no problem. this is definitely worth checking out, and Tom is definitely worth talking to.

Loved it! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a ton of beer and wine to choose from. Stayed for a couple out and the patio, found what we liked and took some home. This place just jumped to the top of my list for a laid back and casual night out!

Absolutely a great place. Bring your dog and positive attitude. This place is this best. Pick your beer. Pick your cigar. Pick your table. But smoke outside! Great people will surround you.

This place is sweet. Not really a bar but not really a liquor store.
They sell individual bottles of beer or create your own 6 packs.
I’m not a wine person but they have a large selection.
The beer selection is great and the atmosphere is relaxed. Perfect for an after dinner drink. I wished they had a larger outdoor patio though.

Could use a bit more more selection I think. I don’t understand why they don’t have champagne either. Would like the people working there to have a bit more knowledge of the products they are selling as well. I really like the second room though as it is a nice place to sit and have a drink.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went in. What I got was a great surprise.
It’s a laid-​back place to buy a beer (huge selection) and just hang out. The guy working the front desk was a nice guy as well.
Not overcrowded and cool tunes. While I was there, I dropped a $ 20 into the video poker and turned it into $ 100.
A great alternative to the other bars down there.

Bottles is awesome. There aren’t many places that you have such a choice of beverages, in such a low-​pressure atmosphere. You are free to browse as much as you want, and, hey, if you’re me, you just choose things that have the prettiest labels. :)
The people working here are always friendly, and for the last few months they have had $ 1 shots! Not always amazing stuff, but for awhile they had Courvoisier. That was amazing.
They have video poker and bands on the weekend. The décor is stylish and makes you want to stick around for ONE MORE DRINK. Which usually turns into at least two more.
Bottles is a great destination for drinking in downtown Lemont.

We LOVE Bottles! I returned to bottles after hearing that they expanded to include a place for people to hang out. This was my go to liquor store if I was in the downtown area or if I was in the mood for a nice craft beer. We decided to check out the new location after dinner one night and fell in love with the place. We hand picked a bottle of Arrogant Bastard, checked out, and sat in a super comfy leather couch in the corner. There was a couple playing video poker and a couple dudes watching sports on TV. I almost immediately decided that I was going to go get a card game. We were able to quietly enjoy conversation, a few hands of Skip-​Bo, a few bottles of craft beer, all in the comfort of a living room environment. The gentleman working that night was super friendly and helpful. He also had good taste in music, it was his iPod that was hooked up all night. I was so grateful to not have to listen to ‘80s glam rock, or country. It was the perfect end to a perfect evening. We’ve returned several times since and have even included it as a stop on downtown Lemont pub crawls.
Bottles sells bottles of wine, booze, and beer by the pack or single bottles. You choose, check out with the cashier, and hang out (or leave). It’s not a bar, but it’s an awesome place to relax.

They often carry Three Floyds. Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Bottles expanded into the space next door! There are now tables and big screen TV’s and SPACE! Plus, the owner must read Unilocal reviews because last time I went to Bottles, they indeed have displayed descriptions of their wines! Woot! Thanks, owner! Oh, and the girl that works there on Saturdays is named Vlodka. For those of you who are slow, that’s Vodka with an L. And she works at a liquor store. Wha-​whaat?!

It is a liquor store that you can drink at! So dozens of craft beers from the US and around the world are available for you — cold — for 3 or 4 bucks! Wine too — at store prices — not restaurant prices. This is definitely a place to hang out.

This past weekend I was in Chicago visiting some family and my cousins took me on a pub crawl with them in downtown Lemont for St. Patrick’s Day. Our meeting spot, or home base, was Bottles. It’s not a big place, but it was really nice inside. The whole back wall were coolers of beer, and you could purchase individual bottles of beer. They also had a whole wall and rows of wine. My FAVORITE find though here was the alcohol infused whip cream. YES you read that right, alcohol infused whip cream! I live in Pittsburgh, and you cannot get this here yet. I grabbed a couple of bottles and I cannot wait to share it with all of my friends. I hope to visit this spot when I’m back in town for a visit — great place for a low-​key bottle of beer, glass of wine, or a pre-​game before hitting some other spots in the area.

Bottles is such a cool idea. My husband loves to try new beers so he loves the fact that they sell beers individually so he can try one before buying a 6 pack. They variety of beer and wine is very good!

Fantastic liquor store lounge ! But, as Ruthie H. stated, its so much more. The staff was extremely helpful and the environment is unique, both inside and out. It’s a very casual atmosphere with rustic benches in the interior and bistro tables outside. The strip of stores near their location make the area a destination. They also have a lot of special events all year long. Worth a stop in to check it out.
