Seriously disorganised: If they got their act together (and some folks here are being kind when they rate it) I’d add another 5 to 6 points overall. Staff: usually friendly and helpful but they are dealing with the same disorganisation.

It’s a liquor store with a great selection, plus they sell cheeses and other foods appropriate for the selection of beverages they sell. Helpful staff when unable to find what you’re looking for.

I have visited multiple times. Selection is less than Lukas KC or Royal 103rd, about on par with Gomers in midtown. Having said that, there are beers to be found here for locals, though if I was visiting from out of town I would hit one of the other stores mentioned. No mix a six offered. Service has been consistently null over the years. Beer is scattered in a couple of places, so make sure to look around. This place is a real dump, inside and out, though it does have character. On the plus side, prices here are pretty good. Update May 2009 - beer organization and selection have been improving.

Descent selection of imports (Belgians & UK) and a few locals for the Kansas City area. However, they did not have many beers that I had not previously tried.

what a dump. like an unfinished basement in your crazy pack-rat uncle’s house. but, maybe by not spending any $$ on upkeep or meeting health codes, they are able to give you the lower prices. they have a few nice things, shoved in the back corner, literally tossed in a heap on shelves and the floor, Salopian entire butt, Adriaan, St. Bernardus, O’Fallon, and i found a couple of Duval in the black label (be forewarned, check dates!) all in all, they have a decent selection, great prices, but ambiance and customer service is non existant.

Probably the third best bottle shop in the greater Kansas City area. Selection is really quite good, and prices are usually very reasonable. Not a bad place to stop. Once upon a time this was maybe the best beer store in town, but times have changed a bit.

Have a great selection. A very helpful staff. Selling by the bottle is key. Organization could use some work. Was suprised by the amount of Belgiums.

Coolers are lacking. They have some Bell’s, NBB, Flying Dog. In the back corner there is a fair selection of Belgian, German, and English beers.

Ok selection of beers, including above average pick of Belgians, but disappointingly few regionals.

A nice little store, although the beers are stashed towards the back, rather hard to find, not entirely well organized. Some other beers are located elsehwere in the store, in the coolers. Still, they sell singles which is important, and have a nice variety including some rarer stuff.
