Being from California I find that it is weird in Kansas that you can't buy liquor from a regular…read moremarket. Or even Wal-Mart. You have to go to a separate store that only sells liquor. Oddly, you can't buy water at these liquor stores, only liquor. Oh, and the other f'ed up thing is that you can't buy alcohol on Sundays. Some law from back in the day. If you want booze on Sunday your ass had to drive across state line to Missouri. I like my booze, but not that much. The Liquor Locker has your essentials. They don't carry everything you need. But whatever. It's Emporia, it is what it is.

I always liked buying from this establishment when I was in town to visit family. COVID changed…read morethat. My mother died of COVID, and I was in Emporia to lay her to rest, clean out her home and put it on the market. I stopped into this liquor store that has a "face masks required" sign on the front door. Yet, customers were coming and going without masks, and the clerk (owner?) was not even wearing a mask. I heard someone in town say that if they try to enforce the masks, the customer will throw a fit, thus scaring off the other customers. Wrong answer! There are plenty of us customers who do want you to enforce the mask policy. And, we will patronize those stores that will!

And they let you know ahead of time cool name nasty taste or cool name actually really good. Also a few of their fan favorite. They also had some international snacks from chips to cookies to candy. If you ever want to buy something unique as a keepsake or a cool refreshing drink which they can do in 3 minutes ! Please check them Out you'll love it. I think this should be a staple shop for everyone to come to while in Kansas City

My girlfriend and I were wanting some ice cream on a hot Friday afternoon, so she recommended we go…read morehere and get a root beer float. We walked into the store and it was quiet. No one in there besides the team member, my girlfriend, and myself. I was expecting there to be more people here since it was a Friday, but even though there weren't many people inside the store, it still felt like a happy environment. There are several different snacks, energy drinks, root beers, sodas, and candies to choose from. The interesting part about this store was that you can turn any drink into a float! You have the choice to add one or two scoops of ice cream to your float. I added two scoops of ice cream to my root beer of choice and it tasted delicious! It had great flavor, refreshing, and soothed my body temperature! Overall, I had a good experience. The root beer float definitely energized me to continue throughout my day! I'd definitely recommend anyone who's wanting a root beer float to come here! I'll definitely be returning to try their different root beers!

But what makes Cork & Barrel my favorite wine and booze shop in town is the fact that they have two wondrous months where if you buy a case of wine, you get a 20% discount (April, you can't come soon enough. The other month is October). Not only that, but every monday is 10% off hard liquor. As you can probably gather, I am a wine lover (I prefer Italian reds), and if I can afford it, I try to buy as many cases of wine during discount months to, you know, store in my wine cellar (*eye roll* as if I'd store wine down where the cave crickets lurk).

What really gets me about a place is how helpful the staff are. Even though their was only one guy working, he walked me through each level of vodka and helped me pick which would work best for me. He also explained how their specials work (seriously hop on those). It took a while but he was really helpful. They had lots of options, which can be really intimidating but it's a good thing when you have patient, kind staff who know what they are talking about.
