What People Are Saying About Juicy Wine Company
The Editor
Fred Schlatter
Citysearch
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.

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!

Fun wine bar
by k2frank at Citysearch
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

a place to relax and catch up with a friend
by breathefashion at Citysearch
My first encounter of juciywineco. was with a friend of mine after a long day of furniture shopping and it was the perfect place to unwind. I did notice the strong cheesy odor but what do you expect they specialize in wine and cheese. We sat in a corner and ordered a bottle of wine and a dessert platter of cheese. The dessert platter of cheese was honestly the best arrangement that I have ever had with a little tang and also sweetness from the raisins and honey mix. We ended up ordering 2 more glasses of wine. This place does get costly about 130 for two (but then again you might be different. I enjoy my "glasses" of wine) but you cant put a price on relaxing and unwinding after a long day for a couple hours. I can't see myself bringing a date because its not a romantic setting but I would recommend bringing a friend to sit, drink wine, and spill on the status of life's JUICY gossip.
- Pros: great service and knowledge of the products
- Cons: parking was a bit tricky
The Details on Juicy Wine Company
Where to Sit:
Two 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.
Know Before You Go:
The 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.
