Gold Eagle Liquors

Best place, best selection, the staff is awesome. If they dont have what you want, theyll get it for you. In here way too much.

I hate to say it, but I was severely upset by my experience here. It does now seem like they have fixed the issues with rude cashiers/​employees. The selection is great, but I can’t bring myself to come back and deal with such disrespect. 1-​star for the selection.

Craft Beer heaven is all I can say! Good assortment of west coast, Great Lakes, and Midwest varieties. Wonderful customer service and reasonable prices. This store does not spike their prices for their rarer beers. I love their selection of 22oz beer bottles it is quite impressive and up to date with new releases. Whenever I am looking for a beer that is hard to find I know I can get it here. They have a good variety of cigars and other assorted liquors/​wines as well. Worth your time check it out.

Yeah, this place is out here in the sticks, but they have Arak Al Rayan, Syrian Arak. Hard to find. So worth it.

Ok selection. Ok prices. My problem is also with the rude service/​attitude. The short gray haired guy is either truly rude or he thinks he’s being cute with his comments.

We really like this liquor store. Their prices our comparable to Jewel but when you are looking for more variety, they are the place to go.
We went on a Thursday or Friday morning and the woman at the counter was super nice! It’s a little out of our way, but we will be there again when we are looking for something besides our usual Skyy vodka. That particular day it was on sale and beat the Jewel price by $ 4! We will be back soon.

Rude clerks. I was standing at the counter waiting to buy something and the guy looks at me and just says «What?!» with an extremely rude tone. That’s not how you treat a paying customer. It marks the last time they get a dime from me.
Jewel’s beer is a full dollar or two cheaper almost every time. Save money and get treated decently… Skip Gold Eagle.

Ok, I’m releasing my inner lush! Love this liquor store! It’s got a vast selection, knowledgeable staff and great prices. I’ve gotten many a gift here. My only complaint is that they apparently no longer carry Lynfred Winery wines. Other than that – top shelf! ;)

WHAT A FIND! I was searching for an Absinthe gift set for my husband and all I could find was the liquor alone. the gift set came with glasses and a special spoon to hold the sugar cube while you pour the liquor over it (probably more info than you wanted) but to no avail. Then it happened. I saw this store in Libertyville listed in the phone book so I called and not only did they answer right away, but knew exactly what I was looking for and since there were only two offered to hold one for me. Imagine that someone holding something for you during the Christmas rush. Well I went up there and what a great place. Not only does it seem to have everything known to man from wines and liquors, but great gift items and just things that a well stocked bar should have. Dave did as he promised and held the set for me and while I was in line I payed it forward to the couple behind me that was asking about Absinthe and what it was like and what a cool gift it would make, so they bought the other set (which made Dave’s day) and then we talked about the local distillery that sells Absinthe (see my review on North Shore distillery) and where it was and what other products they have. Well needless to say, I know have the perfect Christmas present for my husband thanks to Dave and Gold Eagle!!!

One of the best liquor stores in Lake County. Great selection and prices.
You can fin all your wines from all regions in all price ranges. They can help you fin a knock out bottle to bring to a dinner party for under $ 20.
Looking for a great cognac or single malt?
They have them all and then some.
And I always chuckle at the folks behind the cash register. They have character or attitude or a little of both.
My favorite place to grab a bottle.

You know what makes a trip to the liquor store memorable? The people. My brother-​in-​law and I stopped in Gold Eagle on Saturday night desperate for ingredients for old fashions.
This means rye whiskey.
This also means staring blankly in front of the selection of rye in the whiskey aisle.
The gnarly liquor store guy not only had an alarmingly vast knowledge of rye, but when we asked a question about a particular brand, he offered us a free shot because he already had a bottle open.
So we trot over to the makeshift bar area for our hearty gratis pour of rye. The liquor store guy poured us each a shot and then poured one for himself. «What the hell. It’s Saturday night,» he said. «Here’s to not remembering your address later.» He also read us some reviews of the various ryes from something called The Whiskey Bible to help us make our decision. He was awesome.
So off we went with a nice shot of rye in our bellies and the fixins for our old fashions. As we walked out of the store I turned to my brother-​in-​law and said, «I like that guy.» He was like, «Me too, Ang. Me too.»
