Amazing place for those who like to try a variety of only the best beers/brewers around. They have a fairly straightforward website to browse and place orders for pickup. Better yet, they have a taproom so you can sit down and indulge in a cold beer when picking up your orders or browse and buy in person.
Great bottle shop, great staff, big ever moving selection, great draft list, lots of unique collaboration beers. Great spot.
Great selection on tap. And KILLER selection to go.Its not a liquor store though- you can pay a small fee to drink your beers there.They offer Bingo, Yoga, a Running Club, tastings ALL the time. They just had a movie night.They offer more than Ive even tried but I will keep coming back :-) Our area needed places like this. Its great to see that they are popping up and doing well.
This place hands down has what ales you sorry it was Punny . But seriously beers from coast to coast in every style yoy can imagine and then some
I go every week! Great price and choice. Best place Ive found to buy Busch Light and American Honey.
Super friendly, helpful, and educated on all types of beers. Large selection of beers. If you like beers or honey wine they got it
Big selection, great service and a awesome taplist!!! Definitely go if you like craft beers!!!
I was looking for a place local to Chicagoland that could fill an order for a 1/6bbl keg of New Holland Dragons Milk. Came across the website for The Open Bottle and filled out their keg order form, not sure if they could do it or not, but only a couple hours later I had an email confirming that they could and offering an absolutely fantastic price to boot! The whole process was easy - havent been in to browse or enjoy a beer there yet but they have absolutely won a new customer with the experience so far!!
Outstanding collection and many little known gems. This is a favorite specialty beer store.
The owners and staff are super awesome and polite. The beer selection will allow anyone to find a beer to enjoy and the atmosphere is chill. As of 9/26/20 there is very limited seating indoor and they do online reservations and take out. This is also a great place to sit and socialize while being about to try new beer without having to commit to a full case or 4/6 pack. Highly highly recommend this place!
Incredible variety of the best beer. Awesome atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff. I recommend this place to everyone!
Great selection and I love being able to break apart packs if I want to try something instead of having to buy the whole thing
Fantastic bottle shop. The selection is outstanding and the customer service inside and for curbside is excellent. Online ordering process is really well thought out and the website layout is straightforward.
Met slipknot here got my bottle signed took awhile but was worth it met some great people love this Tinley wine and spirits always a awesome selection you name it they got it!
Great craft brew spot. The ability to customize your own 4 or 6 pack out of anything in the shop is perfect for trying anything you want without having to commit to buying a higher quantity
Love this place! Great selection of craft beers. The owners are awesome and super helpful and friendly! And even better, you can break up a four pack if you want to try one. Of anything! Have never seen that before and its a great perk! Again, love this shop and wish there were more like it! Customer for life!
Always a good time, huge selection of beer and friendly workers.
Thursdays are awesome for beer bingo plus the great beer selections
Great selection, a decent amount of taps, and a friendly staff with great music tastes.
Always a great selection whenever you go. I love the fact you can buy any beer individually so you dont get stuck with a 6 pack of something you really dont like.
Great beer and atmosphere.
Pricey but great choices and the staff goes above and beyond to help.
Always a great selection and I felt safe when precautions were set to drink at the bar.
Nice place with plenty of diverse craft brews...
You can find a Beer youve never had before. Very Cool place; No Slot Machines!!! Great selection of FRESH Beer!!! Tap lines properly maitenced. They also have ciders, specialty items, non alcoholic, and cold beer to go always. Store is in a convenient location. They also have special events like Beer Bingo. Great website with up to date inventory. Dog Friendly.
Always love going there. Never disappointed.
Great place for experimenting beer. Recommended the Christmas advent calendar.
Going there today to pick up some brews! Great place to go
Great selection of craft beer. Particularly what you cant find elsewhere. Staff is great, especially Erin and Joe (I think). Curb side pickup is executed perfectly.
A laid-back place to try out various beers. I love going to their Thursday night Brewery Bingo events, too. I really like how the staff happily answers questions about the various products they offer. For those who aren’t big beer drinkers, they also sell ciders and various wines as well as a small sampling of nonalcoholic beverages. They’ve got something for just about everyone here!
Made my day. Had a hard time finding a brewery that was dog friendly so just stopped in to get some local brews to take back to the hotel. Was so happy to enjoy some beer there with my dog! Felt very welcome and we had a great time.Thanks
The Open Bottle is amazing. The owners are great people who provide a wonderful environment for craft beer lovers to feel at home. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The beer selection is outstanding. They get fresh beer and new releases daily. Being dog friendly is great! The events they hold are awesome. I absolutely love the tap takeovers and rare tapping events they host. They are doing an awesome job and are in a good location. The draft prices are a little high.
Great selection of craft beer and great service!
Ok
This place is home away from home. Amazing staff, grand selection of beers.
Wonderful break on a hot day. Picked up some nice gems to enjoy later.
A bit of a hike but glad we took the trip. Great vibe, nice tap selection and a deep bottle shop to choose from.
***Changed Review***I was over charged and the bar tender could only say sorry. I was pretty disappointed when the menu clearly stated one price and she rang me up for double. The store very quickly took care of me the next day. I hope they can find a better bar tender that doesnt make a simple mistake like this one again.I would love to come here again in the future.Great location and great parking!
Great selection of beer and friendly staff.
Great selection and friendly staff.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The prices are a touch inflated but simply amazing.Editing to 5 stars; I did some additional shopping after my visit to the open bottle and found their prices to be better than most of the local shops and Tinley Park.
Great beer selection! Nice people, and the online ordering works wonderfully.
This place is the bees knees. If you like craft beer, are in the area, and love craft beer here is the place to go. Fresh selection, traps on hand... whats better than drinking and looking for the next tasty beer. There are also 3 great breweries near by. Hailstorm, sound growler, and 350.
The absolute mecca for craft beer nerds in the south suburbs of Chicago! Specializing in local, and not so local brews, youll be sure to find something new to wet your whistle. I love the layout of the store, making it easy for my virtual bartender friend to tell me where to find a certain beer. They keep new releases coming, and announce these via their social media channels. You can even enjoy some beer at their locations in a taproom style offering, as well as bottles. If your still reading this, you should of already left to check them out!
This place is great! We stopped here last night and couldnt be more thrilled with the experience. Both Julie and Patrick take great care of their customers. Im not sure what that lady in a previous review was saying about this place being pricey. THE PRICES ARE GREAT! They are right there next to other similar stores in the area... plus they have draft! Who doesnt like a good beer while shopping? Id rather spend my money here to a family business than give it to corporations any day! The selection, the price, at the atmosphere are A+!Keep up the good work! We will definitely be back soon.
The Mornin Delight tap release from Goliath Brewing Co. was phenomenal! I was impressed with the selection of beer from Brewers all over the country and imports too. Staff was accomodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you check it out! 😊
Rotating Beers on tap and a great selection of Cans & Bottles to-go some to drink there. Always Friendly staff. Its Extra nice when they have a EVENT and the Beer Reps have free tasting & swag. And now some Taps available TO-GO.
Update: Please go elsewhere. Downgraded. I tried them again. The second time was worse than the first. Incredibly rude. Some guy with a bad mustache mocked my selection.To the owners - the only eay you stay in business is to get me and others to spend money in your shop. My money will never go through your door again. I hope the next business in this spot is better.Original:Not worth it. Not very good IMHO. Staff seems apathetic. Didnt want to help ID and select a beer I would enjoy. Cost was much more than any of the 5 other local establishments/breweries that offer a good variety of beers. It seemed clean and bright though.
The only positive I can give is that they have a good selection of beer... however, RARE or Variant releases stay in the back for regular customers. I was in one day, asked about a VLAD Maple that they posted. I asked the staff and they said they were sold out. Then a gentleman walks in and calls the bartender by name and asks for a Maple Vlad and the guy goes to the back and brings it to him and rings him up. I ask after why he didnt sell it to me, and I received sorry man.Beyond this, dogs coming in without leashes and arrogant staff is a bit normal. Been there 5 times now and Im done. Im a consumer willing to pay the same as anyone else and we all should have the same treatment as others.
Awesome selection of beer, both on tap and to go. They host awesome gatherings and events each month (themes and food trucks... Need I say more)Owners are great! Prices are great! Atmosphere is great! I highly suggest checking this place out!
Love this place!! The staff is always super friendly!!
Bartenders were pleasant. Let us try some beers. Gave us a sample of a new beer they had in stock as we were getting ready to leave. Will definitely go back.
Very good place, niece variety to choose from.
Great selection of beer. Local and regional. If you are looking for it chances are they might have it. They have a tasting bar which is a great idea. Their recommendation have expanded my IPA selection.
Nice local bottle shop. Good selection
Great variety of beers and meads. Service was good but could honestly be better. Glad I came in. I will forsure be coming in again.
The selection of craft beer here is amazing, with a lot of local brewery products which is awesome. The girl working there was very friendly and greeted me when I walked in. You can grab a pint or beer out of the cooler to enjoy while youre out checking all they have to offer. Only a couple small complaints. They are a little expensive, but thats not unexpected for a specialty store like this. They have a build your own 6 pack section which is great (not advertised), but they could have a bigger selection there.
Wonderful bottle shop. A great selection of beer from around the US and a few international brews as well. The staff is attentive, polite, and very friendly. This bottle shop features 8 rotating draft beers. They also have a daily tasting and too many great beer events to count. If I could award more stars I would.
Oh my. A true craft beer lovers Disneyland. There is a tremendous amount beer. If you cant find something to bring home from here, you have no idea what you are doing. There is a well stocked section of Illinois crafts, with multiple items from each brewery. I really like the quaintness of it all. There wasnt stacks of brews lying around, but instead, maybe only a 6 pack or two. While I didnt check any born on dates, the shop appears to stock things that are fresh in more manageable quantities. Next time Ill hang around long enough to sample a draft or two, again a great bonus while shopping.
Only spot I can find my favorite Basil Mint cider. The staff is always friendly and theyre a locally owned business. Great place!
Such a great selection!
The Open Bottle is great. The layout makes it easy to find the beer Im looking for. The employees are very knowledgeable about beer and always have perfect recommendations. Their selection is unparalleled and I find rare and limited beers there all the time. The events, like Thursday bingo and tap takeovers, are really fun. Great place for a beer lover..
Amazing selection of more hard to find alcoholic beverages.
Really good beer selection, but timing is everything at this place.
If you are in the south suburbs of Chicago, this is the best place to buy great beer. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, they will have some great suggestions for you to try based on your preferences. Check this place out! Its great!
Neat place serving just craft beer. There is a $2-4 cork charge for package goods, depending on how many ounces it is. You can order food for delivery or bring in your own. Friendly and helpful staff.
Shop your craft beer and drink it there too! Pat and Julie do a great job at keeping a great, ever changing inventory of beers on the shelves, and also have a good variety on tap if youd like to sit down for a few in the store. Couldnt recommend this place more. Keep up the good work guys!
If this place was in my town, I probably would be a big trouble. The best possible craft beers available, and always something new or experimental from a sought after brewery. They always get Saint Errant, who I love. Great staff too, cool events like run club and yoga. They know a ton about beer. You have to get in there. It is worth a drive, even if like me it is about 30 minutes away from you.
Love this place. Cool concept. A little pricier than other alternatives.
Ordered a hailstorm Vlad which Ive drank in many occasions at the hailstorm Brewing Company in Tinley Park. After the first taste I recognized a strong vinegar aftertaste after finishing the swallow of beer. When I informed the barkeep of the vinegar aftertaste and explain that my experience with hailstorm Vlad has never been such he explained thats exactly how its supposed to taste. I said okay and my experience thats not correct but in that case and I would like to change the spare for different selection after bringing me a different beer he then informed me have to charge me not only for the beer that I returned it had the vinegar taste for $10 but it happened also charge me for $10 for the new beer. First off who does that second off if thats what youre going to do dont bring me the second beer and then tell me you going to bill me for two beers afterwards tell me what youre going to do beforehand then I can make a choice to walk out of your establishment or not. Previously had much better experiences at open bottle.
Patrick and his wife are both very knowledgeable about beer, always changing taps keeps things fresh, many different styles on tap. Awesome beer selection to purchase and bring home. Customers are always bringing in beer to sample, overall great place to enjoy a beer and shop. Prices are great as well, highly recommended.
They carry everything you could ever want to drink!! Helpful staff when I was trying to chose a wine for a gift. If you are having a party they carry everything alcoholic you would need.
Absolutely loved this place! Its a craft beer heaven with so many things to look at. The owners, Patrick and Julie, are always there and so welcoming to help you select the perfect beer. Not to mention that they have 8 taps to help you decide on what to buy! It is now my go-to beer shop in the area.Also make sure to ask them about their daily tasting too. When I was in there the other day, Patrick sampled out a small taster of a new IPA from Arrowhead Ales. It became one of my favorites and I even picked up a bottle for myself and girlfriend.
We made the mistake of coming in about 45 minutes before closing time. It was clear that the bartender wanted everyone out so he could close the doors at 9:59. I understand being tired and wanting to go home but if your business is open till 10 then you should make people feel welcome until 10. Seriously, it’s like having people over for dinner and while they are eating desert you take out the vacuum cleaner and start turning off all the lights. Very disappointing!Customers keep your doors open.
BEST BOTTLE SHOP IN CHICAGOLAND. PERIOD. I will always sing the praises of OB. Tons of great selection on tap and their bottle selection is massive. Been coming here since they opened. The staff really makes it special too. Bring your kids! Bring your dog! Enjoy beer...and stay for another.
Always able to find something there. Love ordering food next door then going to open bottle to have one.
I highly recommend this place. Great beer selection, tap list, and staff. If youre into craft beer, this is definitely one if the places you should visit.
Great spot to try something new beer that you wont find at a typical craft beer bar.
Great shop with a variety of quality beer
When I visit from out of town this is always my first stop. I love how they work with local breweries for releases and love how I can always fond some great beer to bring home. Staff is super cool and knowledgeable.
My husband and I come in a couple times a month usually with friends. We love the atmosphere, beer, games, and the chill environment. We were excited about the Sundae release this past weekend. Unfortunately we couldnt make it until 2:30. We were bummed when the release was already out. So of course we bought the bottle, thats what we came for. Ok, so ready to leave we pay the bill and charged $4.00 to open the bottle!! Really? Could you please explain the hefty price to open the bottle? To be honest the Sundae release was just ok. We were both expecting a more flavorful beer. With that being said we will be back, but just felt the need to share. I guess we will ask more questions next time.
Staff is super friendly! Great beers but no snooty craft beer attitude. you can tell that people enjoy working here. And that makes it a fun place.
Stopped in on a whim. The gal working was amazing. Excellent customer service!! Came for the Sammy Hager concert and just stopped by. Highly recommend!!
Love it here! Fresh taps, friendly faces, delicious beers & a great atmosphere., #SimplyTheBest
A little pricey but good. Plenty of beers to get chilled (in 5 minutes) and try. Good choices on tap, too.
Great Selection of craft beer and good service. The bartender was nice enough to share one of the latest beers from hop butcher and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.
Awesome place to go have a beer or a few !
Always friendly and a great selection of beer!
Beer selection amazing!The staff cant say the same. Within my visit there was a group of people just having a good time, drinking good beer, socializing. But one the employee was apparently bothered by their noise volume. So bothered he blasted the music to cancel their noise out. The worse part dude was a total dick and still told the group yeah Im turning up the music cause you guys are loud, jokingly. When that group left and dude started complaining about how loud they were and annoying to other customers, made me question how jokingly the smart comment he made to the group about being loud was. I was sitting next to this group for atleast an hour, they werent bothering me,annoying, or too loud. Again great selection of beer guys. But from what I saw just gave me the wrong impression about this place.
Great selection, great customer service, great people... everything here is great! A unique place that is definitely worth your time whether youre a beer lover, a cider lover, or need a gift for either.
