Our Story
Family-owned since 1982. Three stores. Over 17,000 products. One mission: the best selection at the best price.
What started as a single neighborhood liquor store in Niles, Illinois in 1982 has grown into one of Chicagoland's most trusted destinations for wine, beer, and spirits — with three locations across the North Shore and over 17,000 products on our shelves.
Liquor Barn has proudly served the Chicagoland community since our first store opened in Niles over four decades ago. We've continued to grow, adding locations in Wheeling and Vernon Hills to bring our selection and service to the greater tri-state area. Our friendly, expert staff and relaxed atmosphere make every visit enjoyable, and we're honored by the loyal customer base that keeps coming back.
In each of our three Illinois stores, you'll discover everything from popular everyday brands to rare allocated bottles sourced from around the world. Whether you're picking up a weeknight wine, hunting for a limited-release bourbon, or exploring the latest craft beer from a local brewery, we're confident you'll find exactly what you're looking for — at a price that keeps you coming back.
