Small shop, big selection, good prices, friendly folks, nice little neighborhood bar attached...

Best neighborhood bar in the universe. Go see Bob the bartender. Tell him the Weyers sent ya.

Always have what Im looking for. The Guys are so nice there😉

No nonsense shot and a beer bar. Good times!

This is the neighborhood liquor store where you know they have just about everything! There is also a beer tap attached to the store which makes it very convenient to have a beer and take a six-pack home with you. For a Valentines drink I suggest you get some Boodles gin, some Schweppes tonic water and mix up a nice gin and tonic, then top it off with a shot of limoncello! Yum!

Always exactly what you need it to be- this place has some solid options packed into a tight space, and the bar staff rocks. Really enjoy the service and variety here.

Great service and dog friendly. Good people

Id give 10 stars if i could. This store does it right. All employees wear mask, helpful staff, polite, clean & have a huge selections. Im an essential worker and going to the store can be tough. Great hours, safe parking & best experience

Always a great local craft beer selection, great prices, awesome staff!

I go there once in a while. They seem to have reasonable prices on their liquor. You can also play lottery there plus they have a bar and bartender.

Easy parking, great prices and help carrying purchases to your car. What more could you want?

Super friendly staff, great selection of beers.

Best beer prices on the North side. A true Gem of Lincoln Square

Great selection and really friendly staff!

They have romanian wines and very affordable

The person for costumers service.5*

Cardinal is a fantastic go to. While the store is small, the selection is fantastic. They have a really good selection of craft beers, wines, and liquors. If youre looking for something from Eastern Europe, you will likely find what you are looking for.The staff is really friendly and give Cardinal a real community feel.

GREAT Bourbon selection. Decent on wine and beer. Place is small... So its a pretty well CULTIVATED collection of things and hit the popular price-points.If you are a Whisky/ Whiskey fan... this is your place.

Been going there for decades.Its better than ever!

Great selection and friendly staff.

Good prices. Free parking lot. Good selection of beers, wine and liquor. Also an attached bar with happy hour drink specials. Pinball as well as video golf machines, multiple TVs for sports.

Bring your dog! They always have a treat waiting for our Stella. Friendliest convenience store in the city! Huge wine and beer selection, connected to a bar.

Fave liquor store. Good selection of beer. Great prices. Decent wine selection. Fair liquor selection. Easy in and out and great neighborhood spot.

Pretty good selection of wines and beers, completely recommend

Friendly staff and good prices.

Its a great local bar with wonderful personnel and great selection. No overpowering music allows original communication to happen. My wife loves Oberon and they have it on draft. We just moved here but this will become our bar. The bartender Bob is also wonderful, and makes great popcorn.

I like Cardinals. Friendly staff and good selection of spirits for the size of the place. I can always find a deal on something there and parking in front make it a great place to stop before throwing a party.

A no frills local blue collar watering hole and I love it! Its also dog friendly. Perfect for me. I will miss it dearly as I will be leaving Chicago. I wish it many more years. Cheers!

Meh. Decent enough selection. Prices o.k. But they are playing the bourbon game and putting anything special behind the counter for ridiculous mark-ups.

When I dont need the selection of a Binnys, this place is pretty good. Prices are decent--lower than a Cardinal I visited in the suburbs, the opposite of what youd expect. They have a good range of spirits at various price levels with a few unusual bottles. They also have local craft beers like Aleman, some of them cold.

Nice spot to stop for a beer. Typical Chicago bar with a liquor store attached. Opens early!

This is a bar with a liquor store. I go only to the liquor store and they are loaded with huge selection of alcohol and will satisfy every taste.

I only give 4 stars because I wished they carried gluten free beer.

Each and every time I come here, I am always pleasantly surprised! Its not just a liquor store, it is also a small neighborhood adult watering hole. The bartender (that was on shift) is a super laid back fellow...dry sarcastic personality....which I personally like in a bartender!! My friend and I asked if we could start a tab but instead of closing it right away we asked if we could go ahead and continue with our purchase in the liquor store and just run the card once... so we wouldnt get the extra charge....NO PROBLEM the bartender says....Thanks so much...its the little things in life!!Oh yes and one more thing that Id like to add...this is a dog friendly bar!!

Great selection. Fair prices. Friendly staff.

Highly recommend. Staff is very professional and pleasant. Owners definitely know how to conduct business accordingly. Prices are good and the selection is 2nd to none........

Excellent place better than Edens liquor store

Good selection and a great outdoor bar!

Shot and a beer joint with about 20 seats in the bar. Clean with no frills. The liquor store has a decent mix of beers and liquors.

Besides the good pricing, the staff is amazing. The other night I locked my keys in the car and bartender drove me home to pick up my spare key and brought me back. You wont get that anywhere else.

Great selection (lots of local craft beer which is always good!), good prices and the staff is always really friendly. They also have an attached bar.

Close to home, which is great Because I dont have to go to far to get my lottery tickets

Nice community bar. Good prices and great bartenders.

Good selection of spirits and wines and craft beers and your old standbys. Small bar attached. Friendly folk and staff.

Great local liquor store! Helpful, friendly staff.

Always love going to this place. Bob is the best the is, and he always makes me feel at home.

Friendly staff, great selection of wine and spirits including hard to find alcohol from Europe. Affordable prices; highly recommended.

Great bartender I had a good bloody mary. There is daily specials

We chose Cardinal as the liquor vendor for our daughter’s wedding reception at Greenhouse Loft. Chris was amazing to work with, provided great guidance on quantities, and exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend this friendly crew!

Great liquor store/ dive bar slashie with great bartenders and better than average selection to go.

Wide selection with a personal touch from the staff

One of the greatest dive bars on the north side. Ill fight anyone who argues.

Easy and fast to get in and out

Always a great time great neighborhood place! Home of the Black Hawks!!! All games!! Bartender Bob is great! Good drinks, good people, relax and enjoy!!

Best neighborhood bar. Everyone in there makes you feel like family especially Bob. Great spot for after work drinks and chatting with the neighbors.

Bob is the best bartender in the world, but everyone there is so nice. Parking and a liquor store attached.

Helpful staff and better prices than any other liquor store in the area.

Great place to stop and grab a drink. Bob is the best!

Love this place!!!

Whenever I want the big bottle of Hendricks gin for cocktails this is the place I make the trip to. Great prices and friendly staff

Great local place to have a quiet brew!

One of my favorite spots for beer or wine, ive never been to the bar though

Decent wine selection and can always chill in the wine chiller for a few moments

You wont find a better tap room anywhere. Try to get there when Bobs tending bar -youll have a great time.

Cardinal has a good but not great selection of liquor. Its the best in the neighborhood, and it is open late.

Great service here, just wish the prices would go down

We find here our home county wine. Good prices

Good staff

Good liquor store with decent prices and selection.

Agreed. Its a tap room.No wait, a great bartender never lets you leave. Bob is a great bartender and deserves to be paid for it. Shots and refreshers. Wait, $12? Hmmm. Lots of oersonality. Gonna have to make this a regular stop says my friend kier.

Bob makes this bar a great place to hang

Great selection, so so pricing, but overall good experience

Typical Chicago slashie, friendly staff, great selection. Free popcorn in the bar.

Best beer selection & good sales help !

Been going there for years, good. Times.
