We love Beautiful Rind. It is a great place to cater (for personal and work parties), hit happy hour, or get a full meal. Their meat, cheese, and wine selections are always great. We love this place so much that we had them cater our engagement party.

We came here for my bachelor party and honestly it's hard to to imagine a bachelor party stripper as sexy as this cheese platter.
The best cheese experience ever! I have never seen so many options under one roof, this place is incredible! We had the cheese board with 12 options along with the accompaniments, we also had the grilled cheese with tomato soup and the turkey sandwich! This was an unforgettable adventure for our tastbuds đ!
Just discovered this little shop of treasures today. They have a great selection of imported and domestic sheep and goat cheese which is super rare to find. They're generous with samples, and patient letting you try a bunch. They also have a nice selection of fancy crackers, and a huge selection of fancy sardines. The cheese is about $5/lb more expensive than the Wicker Park farmer's market for reference. But they have a better selection and they 're open all the time.

Small selection and LAUGHABLY overpriced. Want to pay $64 a pound? Shop here. Otherwise, any Whole Foods has a far bigger selection, much cheaper prices, and an equally knowledgeable cheesemonger who can special order for you.

If you love cheese and wine, youâve come to the right place. A comfortable atmosphere and staff welcomes you even if you know nothing about cheese & wine and how to pair them, the staff is very knowledgeable and will guide you through it so you can enjoy it and keep you coming back to try new parings. This visit I tried something I really wouldnât have tried without their help, the âCapricho with Peppercornâ, cheese. It was surprisingly flavorful without being spicy, which is nice because I canât eat spicy foods. I strongly recommend this spot for a unique lunch or if youâre hosting a dinner and need a quick and impressive idea for hors dâoeuvres, you wonât regret it.
Cheese selection was great and super flavorful, but the meat selection left a lot to be desired. I wish there was an option to switch from bread to crackers instead with a board, the breads really filling. Service was kinda slow for it not really being busy on a Friday night. Will come back probably just for a take away of cheese and not the sit down experience.
Beautiful Rind is the best! Weâre members of the monthly cheese club and itâs such a treat to get to learn about 3 new cheeses every month!
I just had my bachelorette party there for a private âintro to cheeseâ class - everyone had the best time!! Randall is incredible! His love of cheese is infectious and made the whole experience so fun, and we also learned things about cheese and world history! The cheeses were delicious - all 5 of the cheeses were someoneâs favorite (which is crazy because the Blakesville Chèvre is obviously the best). The charcuterie boards and pairings were delightful! They made sure to have rice crackers for my celiac and gluten free friend! They were a joy to work with - so easy to book and coordinate final numbers, wine pairings and allergies.
We had 12 of us and it was a great number, but their private space could have fit more people! They also even do house calls! It was such a fun event and people were talking about it the whole bachelorette weekend!!
I wish I had pictures of how beautiful everything was! But I think a testament to what a great time we had that we just dove right in!!

So cute! A friend and I came here for a class and we had such a great time.
This place is a wonderful combo of restaurant, shop and event/education center. I love how passionate and enthusiastic the staff are. It was nice to nerd out with them about cheese and wine and tinned fish and snacks!
This is now a favorite spot of mine to bring guests from out of town when we're in the area. Very unique and cute.

Had a wonderful time at Beautiful Rind for Mother's Day Brunch. The staff was so friendly and insightful when it came to building the right charcuterie plate. We also brought along our daugther (<1 year old) and they were so accomodating! We can't wait to go back again soon!

Went here for the first time tonight and absolutely loved it. Perfect atmosphere and not that expensive. The servers were so nice and normal. The opposite of overly pretentious and expensive All Together Now. Will be back for sure!
The best place for cheese in the city hands down. Cheese! It's what's for dinner!
