This is the Mecca of beer stores. What's really awesome is that they have a bar serving craft beer. . .So 10:05 AM, Saturday May 25, 2019, I ordered an IPA from the bar and then walked around to check out their imitable beer selection. Man, I was a kid in a candy store. I asked one of the staff a beer recommendation--I wanted to try at least one I've never had before--the first 5 she rattled off, I've had, but I knew she'd knew her beer, as they were all outstanding. She finally recommended some I haven't had, and she was spot on as I am currently on my back deck enjoying them. It took my a few minutes to figure out the arrangement, but it made logical sense when I figured it out. Beers aren't just arranged by style. For example your favorite local IPA may be on one part of the store but an IPA from say California would be in another. With the exception of singles (in case you want to take a road soda or two), the beer is not refrigerated, which is fine as their inventory obviously gets rotated frequently, ergo there beer is always fresh. Opportunity for improvement: I noticed for most people the hand-held baskets by the door were sufficient for their beer drinking needs, but I'm not most people. I drove quite a ways to get here , so I'm going to load up my trunk with delicious beer. I had to make 5 trips with the hand-held basket. . .So it'll be nice if they also had a shopping cart or two. I will damn sure make the pilgrimage here again. . .and again, and again, and again!

Best beer shop in Chicago. Fantastic selection where you can buy single cans, growler fills and sampler drafts. Owner is amazing and stuff is extremely knowledge, friendly and fun to talk with. No mater where you live in Chicago, it's absolutely worth the trip out to Park Ridge

Beers, wines, whiskey, bourbon, you can find it here. There are so many different brands and good prices and almost 100 percent up charge for service if drinking inside. Not with whiskey, though. Bars with high chairs and tables in private sections. Will be back for more.

What fun. Beer tasteing, who would have thought. Best fun ever and learned a lot.

Had a nice beer tasting here. Good selection of craft beers. Stop by if you are in Park Ridge looking for craft beers.

This place could steal Binny's slogan. What a great concept. I have been to two of three BotW and I like this one the Park Ridge one most. Beers, are, well amazing. Constantly rotating tap selections. Their beer selection sucks. JUST KIDDING!!! It's freaking Insane how much there is. If you're not familiar with the concept, it's cool, you can purchase individual cans of beer. Talk about making your own pick 6. But I make it a pick 12!! You can find something for everyone! They also sell spirits, seltzers ciders, and mead! Love coming here to drink and buy!

Interesting selection and I like that there's space to sit and drink, not just shop. I will say I was a bit annoyed with whomever checked me out at the counter. I came in, grabbed beers to go and the payment prompted me for gratuity, which I bypassed because... Why wouldn't I if the only service I received was to be rung out? But that earned me a sneer and my immediate thought was if the cashier had to rely on gratuity as well, then the owners are cheapskates who need to pay better. It's not like they were selling those beers cheap! In short, nice concept, I might return, but my first experience there definitely left me cold. Also: the owner response to my review (I very rarely give negative reviews, it takes quite a feat to get one from me) pretty much caps off the overall experience as a bad one.

Beer On the Wall, shares a wall with Off the Wall cafe. Plenty of taps, pours, and just anything beer related, Beer On the Wall is your go-to for your alcoholic needs. They have a small seating area with a couch, and dining table, topped off with a classic 8-bit Nintendo to just hangout and sip on your beer. Everyone is super nice and friendly. BATHROOM REVIEW: If you like orange, this is the unisex bathroom for you. Super clean, super functional, and super pleasant. Sit or squat? Sit!

Very nice and chill spot. I came after work, mainly to sign up for a drawing. Thought while I was there let me try some beers. Not disappointed at all! Definitely would come back again. Great selection! And I know I can get into trouble with that selection. In a good way. One downside for me, no fault at all of the owners. Is the chairs at the bar area are a little small for a big guy like me. But I figured it out and still had a nice relaxing time.

Wide choices of ales, IPAs, NAs, ciders, and even meads. A calendar of events is posted near the entrance that includes Trivia Night on Wednesdays! Nice place for a quick night out. Gonna go back and try the $12 flight.
