I first noticed That the largest beer cooler in the store is at room temperature about a year ago. It has NOT BEEN REPAIRED since then. The employees know it is not working. There are a couple of doors on another cooler area that have defective lighting and it has also been this way for at least a year. Displays on countertops are perpetually unpriced. If you want a price on them, you have to take it to the front for them to price it. I have complained about this for over a year, In terms of floor displays,there has been some improvement in product pricing. On my last trip, A worn, curled sign gave a price on small bottles of mixed drinks in a bin and at the register they charged me a higher price. The cashiers said they could not be responsible for the change in pricing. Flooring is dirty and deteriorating in some areas. It should have been replaced many years ago. This used to be a very hip and fun place that felt like it was run by your friends who partied, too. Now at least one of the cashiers does not even drink . From what I can tell there has been little maintenance and no upgrades since a change in ownership and store cleanliness seems to be an after thought. They do have a very good selection of whiskey. Cold beer, a clean store and merchandise that is priced seems like the most basic minimum for operating a retail liquor store. It feels like the ownership is uninvolved and just coasting on whatever momentum the previous ownership developped. I am no longer going to shop there. I have included picures of some no price displays, the floors, an open storeroom that is always visible as you enter, the defective cooler lighting and the big display of warm beer that is in a broken cooler. read more

See all

Empty store multiple people working no assistance from anyone. 2 employees looked at me and proceeded with what they were doing. Nice store large inventory. But extremely messy. There is stuff everywhere almost to the point it's overwhelming. My money wasn't important went to another store no biggie. read more

Great selection. Friendly staff. The blonde fellow with the (septum I think it was?) piercing made me smile. Found the sake I was looking for! read more

Gomer's South - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Gomers is a great place to go for your alcohol selection! And thank you, Ryan, for the excellent customer service!

Buyer beware: Worst customer service experience in years. Staff is unprofessional, disrespectful and seemingly unwilling to take simple steps to meet minimal customer service expectations. Successfully placed an order on Drizly's site. Contacted Gomer's to confirm delivery...they tell me I didn't place an order? Despite providing the order number?? Then, 2 hours later, Gomer's calls me back after magically locating my order...but they tell me that they don't have what I purchased in stock?! Next, this beyond rude female employee proceeds to birade me about a disconnect between Gomer's and Drizly before begrudgingly attempting to find subpar substitutions for my original selections. When the order was eventually delivered, the box was unsealed and didn't even include the gift messages originally requested. TERRIBLE SERVICE. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. TERRIBLE STAFF. DO BETTER GOMER'S & DRIZLY. read more

The selection is excellent and so are the prices. However, they are extremely rude and standoffish. One morning approximately 10:15 AM, I tried to enter and they stated " we not open yet. They did the same thing to two other customer. We remained outside for about five minutes then I reapproached, and ask what time will they be open. She states 10 minutes. I quickly departed as well as otherDo better Gomer, this is ridiculous. read more

Staff are incredibly knowledgeable about scotch in general and there is a decent selection of French wines for a smaller shop like this one. Good prices. read more

Without question the only place I ever purchase my liquor from in KC. These guys know my family by our names and even specifically order and stock our favorite ROGUE spirits & beer. If you ask me- that is exceptional customer service! Cheers and so much love to the Gomer's guys! read more

Gomer's South - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

For a boozer like myself, I spend a shockingly small amount of time in liquor stores. I don't really drink at home, so I guess that makes sense. BUT, when I want something good and at a reasonable price, I know that I can go to Gomer's. When I want something a bit out of the ordinary, I know that I can go to Gomer's. When I want an enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff that can make suggestions I know that I can go to Gomer's. They do it right. They have a great selection, the store is clean and doesn't feel at all sketch, and I really like the staff. I know they're all over the special releases and treat beer geeks well. I don't know what else you could ask for in a liquor store. Yay Gomer's! read more

They have a glass recycle bin right there in the parking lot! Whoopee! I went in searching for a particular beer: Strawberry Abita and it turns out I just missed it! Spring seasonal - drat. They went out of their way to help me find something comparable. Both of my selections were on sale. Super nice staff and a huge selection. read more

Stopping in last night was way more fun than going to my 10 or 20-year high school reunion. Felt like it though because long, long ago this used to be one of my main choices for fueling up, but I rarely stop now because I moved to Lawrence in the 80s. So, I'm a regular, but I just haven't been in awhile. That's OK, isn't it? Sort of like church. As long as you show up every so often all is forgiven. What I found: the same old Gomer's trapped in time. Loved it then, love it now! It's sort of a gnarly old place but I really like the way the wines are organized. Didn't touch the stuff when I was coming here long ago so never noticed. Excellent single malt collection including some new (to me) items from the Talisker distillery and bottles of Aberlour a'Bunadh, stuff that angels touched (there's that church thing again...). As always, one of the finer beer collections in the city as well. Best of all, came looking for a Zin I couldn't find in Lawrence. Gomer's had it. Score! I think I need to revisit much more often. If you come: plenty of dedicated parking and there are a couple of interesting restaurants nearby and a convenient gas station next door. A couple of blocks up the hill to the South and you can catch the I-435 nightmare. This place, it's worth going out of your way to get here in my opinion. read more

Little things go a long way with me and this place takes the cake. First off, they have a great craft beer selection, no, this is not anything Bud related. The staff is very friendly, and when asked about their make your own 6 pack selection, he asked what I was looking for...and opened a full 6 pack for me to add to my selection. Something small, and will make him more money that way, but I thought it was awesome. Apparently, they are getting ready to make the selection of random beers refrigerated too, so that will be even better when they finish that. Great location, great beers, wine section looks huge too, but haven't made it over there yet. read more

The funky shopping center at 99th and Holmes is literally anchored by Gomer's... which isn't a bad thing, as Gomer's locations are consistently well stocked with a great selection of beer, wine, and liquor. This particular location is clean, easy to navigate, and manned with helpful and competent staff. I don't know where you buy your booze, but if you haven't been to a Gomer's, you're probably not getting the best experience for your money. read more

Lots of beer choices already cold... and that is what we all need! Key craft brewers like Bells and Great Divide are well represented. No complaints here! read more

best liqour store in town. Excellent selection of craft/micro-brew beers and a extensive liqour/wine selection. On weekends they often having wine-tastings. People who work there are always friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for or make a suggestion on what to get. Prices are very competitive and always have a lot of beers on sale. Bonus points: they have a bowl of dog biscuts at the checkstand. Its not like I ever take my dog to the liqour store (they wouldn't be allowed inside anyway), but if I did its nice to know I could give him a treat for waiting in the car. read more

Great deals and very easy to get in and out. Need to check out the weekly deals online and in paper. They know there stuff and help you find it! (if needed). Never dull. Just go elsewhere for gas. read more

I recently experienced a very negative interaction with Gomer's South. I have been a frequent customer for several years, primarily for the selection of specialty whiskey's. For the last 3 years, I have requested to be placed on the waiting list for a bourbon that is released in very limited supply. Every year in the past when this product came in, I got the expected call. It was not a reserved bottle, but a chance to get one on a first come first served basis. I went through the process this year. I made sure I was on the list, calling 3 times. Every time I called, I was assured I was on the list. The only exception was when the manager that was responsible for the list was not there, and a message was taken and I was told he would call me back. No call. Well, November rolled around and I didn't get a call. I called a couple of times to inquire about the product. No response. I finally waited on hold until the manager I had spoken to came to the phone. I was rudely told that no such list exists, that I was never promised a call, and the product had come and gone. I was called in years past (this product is only available in the fall, around end of October, beginning of November), so I know a list existed in the past. I was told a list was in place this year. I was either lied to regarding this years list, or lied to about the calls and I was just missed. Either way, it was a extremely poor customer service experience. read more

The help at this location are lazy. When I couldn't find an item, the clerk was too lazy to walk over and point it out or get it for me. This would never happen at the Broadway location. read more

This place has good prices and always has some hard to find stuff.

Gomers is the place ro go for hard to find wine and spirits. My Dad turned 50 this month and I wanted to find him his favorite Scotch. 18 year McCallen . Could not find it anywhere but Gomers. Literally. Scotch must be low on the totem pole in Kansas City. Not only did they have it but they also had my Newton unfiltered to boot. A prize for me. Friendly and knowledgeable. Good price. I have been to their other locations around town with similar results. read more

I love this place. I don't really go that often as I only drink once a week-ish, but I love that they sell sausages and other local things and they are very helpful! I called once to see if they could find me some Elderflower hard cider by Strongbow. The gentleman I spoke with was very knowledgeable and though they don't carry it anymore, I was pleased to have someone care to take the time to look for it for me and talk with me about it. My husband frequents Gomer's and also loves it. read more

I have been a customer of this liquor store for many years. I was recently in the store for a wine tasting and purchased a $15-20 bottle of wine that I had tasted. When I got home, I opened it and it had gone BAD, so I immediately called the store and asked them if I should leave the wine in the bottle and they told me to go ahead and pour out the wine and bring a receipt in with the bottle and they would give me my money back. Unfortunately, I didn't have the paper receipt, but I took a picture of my credit card bill which showed the transaction. I took the wine bottle back the following week. Two men working at the store were very rude and gave me trouble about not having a paper receipt and not bringing the full bottle back. They finally agreed to give me a refund "this ONE time". I told them to forget it ..... I don't need the money that much (its the principle). After all these years of buying many, many bottles of wine from this store. I am saying GOODBYE. Very POOR customer service!!!!!!!! read more

Well-stocked (though not on a par with Lukas). Prices definitely on the high side; some inventory old (particularly specialty beers, and quite a few liqueurs). Help is well-informed. I have, however, made 3 special orders over the years. One special order filled; other two requests not responded to. When I have followed up several weeks later, management said, "Maybe you should look in Chicago." read more
