Whiskey And Wine - Bar in Algonquin - 103 S Main St, USA

As promised! Gotta review this place too! Walked over from BOLD last night to finally give this place a try. So much Bourbon and Whiskey! Beautiful atmosphere too. It's a fantastic place to stop for a tasting. Owned by BOLD, you can also get their appetizers and small snacks. Make sure to ask the team behind the bar for their suggestions, you won't be disappointed! We'll definitely be back!

I took a client on a small tour of old town Algonquin after a long day of home showings. It was my first time in and I was instantly impressed with the extensive knowledge of the staff and the impressive variety of Whiskey for my client to choose from. I had one glass of excellent red, even though the tasting sampler was quite tempting. I'm eager to go back and do that one day when I am not with a client. Another thing of note: even though the place was absolutely packed with customers, the owner was very friendly, going out of his way to make sure to check in with everyone.

Intimate space for a detailed wine and/or whiskey tour. Our host, John, was personable, knowledgeable, and had a great handle on tastings for a diverse group of palates. Charcuterie boards were on hand with access to nearby Bold for small plate options. It was a great ladies night out!

A group of 4 of us came for the champagne tasting on New Years Eve. We had friends in from out of town to celebrate the new year. We have been here multiple times before and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. We had our 2 month old with us who was sound asleep in a wearable carrier. We grabbed the last table all the way in the back that was furthest from any action by the bar. My husband started looking around while wearing our baby and the server came up to him and told us we needed to leave. She said they didn't have a kitchen so no one under 21 could be there. I've tried to look up since then about being in a bar with anyone under 21 in Illinois and as long as minors are with parents and not sitting at a bar it's acceptable. Seems like discrimination to me on why we were kicked out so I won't be going here again. Very disappointed with this establishment.

I can't attest to the food here, as I've never had it, but this is a gem in the downtown Algonquin area. I've had many wine tastings here and they have always been amazing! Today, I came in for the mimosa flight, and it was DELICIOUS! My partner has always done the whiskey tastings, and he has never been disappointed. For whiskey, they give you a pamphlet with your name on it to keep there so that you can check off the whiskeys you've tried from their collection. If you fill up the pamphlet, I believe you get a Whiskey and Wine shirt. Their whiskey selection is huge too! I will always recommend this spot, and I have already brought many friends here who have also loved it. The new patio area they have along the Fox River is beautiful too!

Went on wine Wednesday and had great tastings for BOGO. Service was quick and host was polite and knowledgeable. Didn’t have any whiskey but there were so many options! I did however, expect the bathroom to be a bit cleaner. It was also a little warm in the place and there were a few flies.

I have no complaints about this place. It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of selection, quality of cocktails, service, and a very comfortable environment.

A place to be and relax. Amazing selections of Whiskeys and weekly change of wine selections. The host was amazing to educate us and make us very comfortable. A must do.
