Editorial Review for Juicy Wine Co. – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
A glassy front is odd adjacent to a vacant lot. Inside, a heady cheese aroma wafts from the glowing display, part of a sort of miniature exposed pantry where waiters fuss over jars of olives, pate blocks and hunks of bread. Wine is attractively displayed along one wall, and a dramatic cork structure covers much of the exposed brick. Seating is intimate, with a few prime corner spots. Upstairs is a small bar, a dozen scattered perches and a few loungier seats.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe wine program is interesting; all bottles are priced at retail, but a $15 corkage fee allows patrons to sit and drink. Both prices are displayed on the menu to avoid confusion.
Where to SitTwo corner booths offer dense, upholstered perches and bolsters, great for lingering larger groups. Upstairs is better for drinks only, although a few larger tables are fine for grazing.

Juicy provides a great environment for special occasions as well as a chill night out with friends. The servers are knowledeable and helpful, providing tips/recommendations. And the selections of wines, meats, & cheeses are outstanding...a nice range of prices, and always consistently great! Juicy is one of my favorite Chicago spots!

I went to Juicy Wine Co on a Tues evening and had a lovely experience. The waiter/manager attended to our inexperience in their establishment, and explained the menu and offered wine choices based on what we were looking for. Yes, there is a cheesy smell when you walk in. They serve cheese. Get over it. (the smell does not follow you thru the rest of the bar or upstairs) We had a glass of wine each and paid less than $30. The manager even gave us a tour of upstairs, which is open Wed-Sun nights and has a dj on the weekends. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it for a friendly get-together with a group of girlfriends for good wine and conversation.
Pros: Fun and different wine selection
