Gomer’s Midtown

I have been going to this store for years. Granted the tore down the first store and built a new one. They have what I am looking for 99.9% of the time and if they don’t have it, they will order it for you and usually have it within a week. Their prices are reasonable and the store is clean, well organized. The staff are more than helpful with any question you can even imagine. They remember me when I go in and over me a discount using my Gomers card that I never remember to use myself. With the new building parking is very easy and you and in and out quickly.

Gomer’s is the class of midtown liquor stores in my opinion.
Why?
Parking. Selection.
Prices. Location.
Returnable booze (ask them for details, but great when throwing a party of wedding).
Cleanliness.
This isn’t a bars on the window liquor store where buying a six pack feels like you’re on an episode of The Wire. It’s well lit, friendly and all around great. Highly recommend.

I used to shop at the Gomer’s out south and they were marvelous. great people, friendly, knowledgable. I have been to the Midtown location and I have to say, every time I have gone, the people are rude and snotty. Midtown has a great looking store and an awesome selection, but the staff attitude and absolutely no customer service really has put me off this location. I used to be a wine steward in a past profession. I would have been fired for the attitudes I experience when I go in. The only reason they get two stars is I found what I needed.
I will continue to shop at the south location, but Midtown? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Fantastic shop. We traveled through from Arkansas, and our beer selection is HORRIBLE. I wanted to find some good local brews in Kansas City and the staff at Gomer’s was FANTASTIC. Very knowledgable and friendly, amazing selection!

In town again so we stopped off to grab a few drinks before a concert. Prices have gone up since the last time we were here so finding a deal is not as easy as it used to be. They have a lot to choose from and they have items we can’t get back home. Staff friendly and efficient in getting you your items. They had sold out of coolers but had plenty of ice.

Great place! They have everything you could dream of, plus if they don’t, they’ll help find you something comparable. The staff is friendly and very well informed! This place is clean, friendly, and worth the drive!

Amazing selection with hard to find items. Especially great bourbon and scotch choices! My kind of place.

I have been a regular of Gomer’s now for 9 years and two things have remained the same — much of its workforce and the fact that it’s awesome.
They take their business seriously and it shows. Great selection, best prices, well-​organized, and well taken care of. You can find just about everything here and if you need any help or suggestions then they know what they are talking about.
If you live anywhere near the Midtown area and buy beer, wine, or other liquor on a regular basis then you have likely stopped by here already. If you haven’t then it’s time to do so! I’m willing to pay that at least 9 out of 10 people will agree that it’s the best liquor store in town.

The short: Easily one of the best liquor stores in town.
The long: In a more recent search across town for the makings for some nice adult beverages I was referred to Gomer’s as I was looking for some rare’ish items. I have to say I had never been into Gomer’s before and even though I had heard of it I actually had driven by time and time again without knowing it was there. Boy am I glad I found it now. Not only did they have every single item I was looking for, but it was cheaper than I think anywhere I have come across those particular brands. Even if you’re just looking for some find it everywhere liquor/​beer/​wine Gomer’s is going to have it, but their more not so mainstream selection is awesome.
What works: The place to go for some hard to find adult beverages
What to improve: Not too much to speak of

this place is great. wide variety of selection, located centrally, and helpful & knowledgeable employees. i might add that they do tastings often!

As a beer geek Gomer’s is awesome! They have a great selection of craft brews from a huge number of breweries. If you know what you are looking for then they probably have it. The store is also very clean and organized.
I dock them one star for customer service. I sometimes «hunt» out special/​limited release beers and I call around to ask if places know when they are getting it in. They always act clueless and they tell me they have no idea when they get deliveries and in no way do they know what is going to be on the truck. I find this very hard to believe, how do you control inventory and costs if you have no idea what you ordered and when it will arrive?

I’m from a rural town, where we don’t have a single liquor store, so this place pretty much blew me away. The beer selection is matched by none I’ve seen in a KC liquor store. They’ve got all the staples and then the real obscure stuff.
The liquor selection has every variety of every alcohol you could want. They’ve got bottom shelf booze for ultra-​low prices, as well as high-​end liquor for special occasions.
The wine selection is also enormous and their wine-​specialist can really help you out if you’re looking for a certain taste or style, and they’re always willing to order something in if they don’t have it.
Best liquor store in KC. Have fun!

Gomer’s gets it right in an area of KC that doesn’t have a lot of options for liquor stores. What sets Gomer’s apart from the others? A well stocked location with both favorites and unusual oddities as well as outstanding customer service to boot.
Gomer’s has what you need — wine, liquor, beer, cordials, kegs, and any other accoutrements you need for your personal or party stash. Stopping here is a no-​brainer for any of your liquor needs. Don’t bother with other shops in Midtown, head over to 39^th and Broadway for the best selection, prices, and customer service.

This is one of those places that you have to love.
As they say in Kentucky where I’m from, smack dab in the middle of it all! This place has location location location. On top of that they have selection selection selection! This Gomers is not a huge place, but they pack a shit ton of fun (i.e. spirits) into the store. I’ve been able to find craft bottles of bourbon, Johnny Walker Platinum, and enough craft brews to keep me in the clouds for months. LOL They even have plenty of Bud and other types of «water-​beer,» and won’t make fun of you for buying it at check out (I would, ha!). I’ve always been asked if I needed help here… without exception. The staff is super and checkout is fast, too! What’s not to like (except the hangover if you over indulge)?

Let me tell you a little something about Gomer’s Midtown: They’re effin rad.
So I needed to procure myself a large quantity of booze for my wedding reception. I was unsure of the best (read: most cost effective) method for doing so, when the rumor mill told me that Gomer’s does the best thing of all time! You see, you can make a liquor/​beer order and they won’t charge you until after the event, so that any leftover unopened bottles can be returned. Because I truly believe the #1 rule of party planning is «don’t run out of hooch,» I purposely overbought and was able to return a significant amount. They saved me hundreds of dollars! Thanks Gomer’s!
Add to that a great selection, a clean and safe store, and a friendly and helpful staff, and Gomer’s is just chock full of win. Hooray!

We used Gomer’s to get our alcohol for our wedding and I’d recommend you do the same!
We were told that they’d take back any unopened stock after the event and that was about all we needed. That sounded perfect! So we contacted them and gave them an idea of our number of guests and what type of drinks we planned on having. they put together a quote based on that that we tweaked a bit (our guests didn’t need the BEST quality mixers… I’m paying, i’m sure they’d be happy with the next best thing and if not they can shut the hell up…) and they confirmed the order. Actually, a couple weeks before the wedding they emailed to say they reworked their pricing a little and it wound up saving us a nice chunk of change SCORE!
They delivered everything — beer, liquor, ice, pop for mixing — to the venue (for a small fee) the day of the wedding and were right on time. Our delivery guy clearly had been there before because he went to the fridges (which weren’t in an obvious location) and started unloading everything without needing any direction from anyone (nice bonus on a busy day). We went through a good chunk of the liquor but didn’t run out thanks to their excellent estimating. After the wedding, we loaded up all the leftovers (Hint: If it is an open bar, people go for the money drinks and skip the beer) and dropped it off at the store, the counted it up and charged us just for what we used and we were on our merry way. Perfect!

Alright folks…
I have since dusted off that dirt off my shoulder from my first encounter (review).
They have what you need.
Period. (just in case you missed the punctuation)
Best assortment of beers and wines. They know their liquor, beer and wines.
They don’t just sell it. They live it. (Not calling them drunks… Unless I’m a drunk… But I like to think of myself as an alcohol enthusiast).
Mike sets up different tastings of wine and beer and liquors. All you need to do is sign up on their list. The beer tastings are usually during Fri-​Sat in the store. Just stop by.
We’ve gone to a few tastings. They have the usual reps from the company explaining their brand and product. But they have had some of KCs finest bartenders or mixologists come and make cocktails with said product.
The tastings were great. Mike doesn’t make you feel like a waste of time if you choose not to buy anything. We went to a tequila tasting and the only bottle we really liked was $ 96. Out of our price range for sho! But we went to another tasting and got a couple of bottles which we would never have tried otherwise.
Gomers 5 Stars.

I enjoy a good craft beer, wine and host holiday cook-​outs with friends so Gomers has become a fairly regular stop on my way home from the office Downtown. The store is clean, organized, has an excellent selection of wines, beers, liquor and always has great sales. I did not expect much from a liquor store but when I arrived at Gomers I was impressed at how nice it was, specials clearly market, craft beers when you walk in, sections for bourbon, tequila, vodka, wines, etc. with a wide range of products and prices (cheap stuff to top shelf).
The prices are as good or better than every other store in town, better prices than Walmart and none of the ‘people of Walmart’ experiences! The staff is helpful, they drink and seem knowledgeable about the various alcohols the store carries so they recommend some good options and offer to help if they see anyone standing around trying to decide. I was looking for a ‘Gluten Free’ vodka for a friend which is usually tough to find. Gomers has 5 good options for gluten free vodka starting at $ 10.98 (on sale) for a good quality product which is amazing.
The prices are great, the store is clean, centrally located and has an excellent selection — check it out!

I am really impressed with their overall pricing. Either whiskey I drink is almost always on sale. Trust me, I know local pricing of what I drink and without driving out to 135^th, Gomers hits the spot.
I never went into the old location so I can’t say if this location is an improvement. But from the other reviews it seems it is. The store is bright, open and very easy to find what you’re looking for. Gomers does have a good selection of vodka, tequila, whiskey and beer.
The staff is always really friendly too. Thanks again for keeping what I drink on sale!

Wow. Talk about remodelers.
Gomers is now bright, spacious and full of almost every type of alcoholic beverage for every situation.
We’re beer drinkers and there was a good selection. Lots of regional and seasonal brews. The liquor selection was well stocked too.
If you’re shopping in Midtown, this is a good place to go.
