Doolin's

Why go to a big box store or order online when in Chicago we have a small local business that has every party supply you need or never thought you needed. This weekend is New Year's Eve 2024 and I needed a few more champagne poppers looked online and yeah it could have been delivered before New Year's Eve but this store is right down the street from my home and every year I stop by and pick up what I need and other decorations I didn't think I needed until I saw them in the store. Friendly staff things are easy to find, prices are right.

I ordered balloons for my business anniversary last week, the online process was really smooth, then, the next day I called to confirm and the person I spoke with was really professional and thoughtful, when I arrived to pick up the order they had the balloons ready to go and they let me know they gave us an extra treatment to make the balloons last longer. It was a really great experience from start to finish.

Party supply store offering a wide range of products from helium balloons to raffle tickets. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the service is always quick. Definitely recommend Doolin’s as a great alternative to chain stores like Party City.

We buy all of our bingo and Queen of hearts supplies for the the Des Plaines Elks Lodge.

Always excellent phone customer service and quick delivery!

I was visiting Chicago with my family and in this building my grandparents had a restaurant called "Polo Inn".
The owner was so gentle to let me visit the store and see old decorations on the roof and walls.
But i could se how many stuff they have for every kind of party's, enjoy!
They have all you need!

Doolin’s came through again! This time, just a couple of small balloon clusters. Needed for my daughter’s college signing ceremony and had to pick them up 24 hours in advance. I was so worried they would deflate or pop. Doolin’s gave me a few extras and instructions to air out the balloons. Not only did they look perfect the next day, but they were still inflated three days later!

Excellent customer service. We ordered balloons from Amazon for a bachelorette party. I brought them here to be filled. I honestly should have just bought them here, but I didn’t know. Some of them had holes in them. Doolin’s replaced them, filled them, and bagged them so I could easily transport them. The guy who helped me was very kind and chill! We will be back.

We got balloons for our engagement party and the last balloon finally came down. they lasted for 8.5 months. EIGHT months!

This place is so nice. I love that they make me feel like family when I call and get the best customer service, the owner was so nice and accdomating.I just love Doolins

Definitely get your balloons here! I popped in to order two large balloons for my son’s birthday. The employee was so nice, helpful, and had balloons ready for pickup when I needed them (and brought them out to my car so I didn’t have to park & wake a sleeping newborn). From what they said I had just hoped the balloons would last through the weekend- and here we are a month later and I’m finally popping them because they are still alive and well! I’ll be buying all future balloons here for sure.

We placed a last-minute balloons order after a disappointing order process with a Party City nearby. We ordered the balloons this morning for my nephew’s first birthday celebration this evening and we are so happy with them and so thankful they could accommodate our last-minute request. Hands down the best & quickest service we’ve had for something like this in the Chicago area and we will be using Doolins as our first choice from now on. Thank you! :)

The best party supply store in Chicago. The staff is super helpful, especially Chris. Rental equipment is extensive and their retail selection is great. I always get fun ideas when I stop in to Doolin's. Can't wait to test out my balloon drop for New Year's Eve!

I’m sooo late with this review! But I highly recommend this company! I had a 30th birthday on a yacht at Navy Pier Chicago. One of my balloons popped on delivery. They went back and got the #3 and had it back before the yacht sailed! I was at awe and my birthday party was a success! I have since used them! Thanks Doolins!!

Great customer service over the phone and in person! I went to get some helium balloons which was done super quick and well done. They gave me option for the balloon color. Fully recommend this store, very happy with the results.

I have been a professional balloon twister for 30 years. I knew about Doolins and I was only there a few times. I always used their competition which was only a short distance away. They have a better selection of what I need and the prices were 30% cheaper so I did continue to do business with the competition. Now they have moved to An Inconvenient spot in an industrial area which is a problem to get to by public transportation. I was in a fix and really needed to get balloons for my gig on Saturday. I got there an hour before they open an early arrival open the door and let me in. I was able to get a couple bags of assorted balloons that I really needed and a price march that made me very happy... Thank you so very much. Jim the balloon guy.

Everything is so cheap! You can walk in with $30 and walk out with matching and beautiful party supplies for 50 people. I can't believe I walked by this place for years without looking inside. Tablecloths, serving utensils, balloons, decorations, noisemakers, plastic and paper cups.... all at great prices.

Great place for party supplies. Locally owned, you can feel the difference when you come here as opposed to some chain party store. What makes this place really cool is the weird stuff you can find for your party that isn't being sold elsewhere. Almost like they have a supply of knick-knacks from the 1950s.

Also, just a darn cool store to walk into. Really old school Chicgao.

Great prices and service. My family and i have been going to Doolins for years to get many of our party supplies. Very affordable and flexible with the pick-up and return dates on their helium tanks. 🖒

Our Church has been renting and purchasing from Doolins for over 10 years. No better place in Chicago. Great pricing, and an unbelievable array of all things necessary to put together a great presentation!
Suzy and Rich are fantastic!

Always quick on the turnaround for filling balloons, great expertise and suggestions. Super helpful even offering to hand fill smaller mylar balloons.
