    To go cocktail...delicious.
    Julia H.

    Asked if they were still doing to-go drinks...not really but... they made it happen. Thanks to Matt for even concocting something based on my gin, citrus, and summery requests. It's balanced and look at that color. And a better priced than some cocktail bars. The selection of wines, spirits, and mixers is bountiful and well priced. We'll be back.

    Spiritworld, as the name would indicate, offers a wide variety of liquors...but also with a full bar inside that offers small lunch options. It really is a great place to roam the aisles looking at the wide variety of tequilas, whiskeys, wines, or whatever your vice happens to be. The layout is simple, inviting, and well executed. It is quite easy to find whatever you are looking for, and if you can't, there are plenty of experts on hand to help with finding a certain bottle, or giving a recommendation. If you can't find something to please you here, you are in trouble of finding it. The only drawback is it slightly above average prices. One of my favorite whiskeys ran about 10-15% above other places I could find it...however, for the convenience of Spirit World having EVERYTHING in one place, I understand the slightly raised prices on lower-end liquors. The experience is much different than say...a corner liquor mart.

    Stopped in to check out the selection, they really do have a great selection of all things boozy. They have some snacks and treats to help tide you over while you enjoy some beverages on the patio or at the bar. My only complaint is the prices are a tad high but overall decent. If you're looking for something specific hard to find try this place for sure.

    I've been here several times and have had a good experience every visit, regardless of whether I was sitting at the bar for a drink, stopping in for a liquor and candy pairing, or booking the private room with my bible study group. Service is always friendly (never snobby - even if you're a newbie to whiskey and state to a whiskey connoisseur that you like the peanut butter whiskey you tried the other day) and generally very attentive as well. Definitely something for everyone here! They have a great selection of beer in the cooler, a small selection of rotating beers on tap, signature cocktails that change with the seasons, and just about every kind of wine and liquor you can think of.

    When you think about Spirit World - you think wine. Think again. Of course they're still known for their large selections of wines (and always will). However, they've stepped up their game (maybe I'm just behind), but they are also well stocked when it comes to varieties of well known alcoholic brands, and their bartenders are more than eager to make you a specialty drink to your liking. My husband is always happy to find a bartender who's open to challenge by making him a specialty drink. It's a win-win situation. My husband gets to try out a new drink especially created for him and the bartender gets to experiment and better his craft! The photos provided was the process making the drink. I videotaped the finale' having smoke etc unfortunately, Yelp doesn't seem to allow video uploads. Stop by and see Sam!

    A casual place to buy booze, drink booze, and maybe grab a bite to eat too. I've used it mostly for the "buy booze" category, but there are almost always people having a social drink or eating a bite when I am in there too. The pro of having it as a store for beer/wine/liquor/drink tools is that they also regularly have vendor events and tastings. Pricing here might be a dollar or two more than hyvee or some gas station, but the selection is pretty good, esp for wine. Staff here are also much more keen on helping you and having an understanding of the inventory than just your average grocery store.

    Laurie Is seriously the best. This amazing spot in Aksarben, not only provides the largest variety of spirits in the city but it also has the most knowledgeable and attentive staff. If you are planning a wine tasting, going in to buy a bottle, plan an event, or just pop in for a quick drink, The staff will go above and beyond to make your experience special. This needs to be everybody's neighborhood bar and liquor store

    In a word, this place is very hipster. That's the entire vibe you get from the time you walk in until the time you walk out. Not just an alcohol store, this place also offers a small conference area, a buffet area, its own bar, and much more. It really isn't just designed as a "grab a bottle of alcohol and go". It's more of an entire alcoholic experience. As it's located directly across from the stadium, that makes sense that they'd want to provide food and other options for game-goers. The selection isn't gigantic, but it isn't bad. Way over what you'll find at a grocery store, but it's about on-par with some of the Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits selections in terms of size. However, it's different in terms of content. One of the patrons in my party said: "They basically only sell the things I'd want to buy in the first place", and I'd consider that accurate. Very little space was devoted to beers like Bud Light or to any of the lower-end wines. They still had affordable options, but I don't think I saw a single $3 bottle of wine. Lots of craft beer and nice wine and alcohol options here. Fantastic staff too. Very friendly and were happy to point me towards anything I wanted. I'm unsure how much they knew about a lot of alcohols, but they did seem to know a ton about the selection and where things were located. They seemed very knowledgeable, but I didn't ask for recommendations, so I can't comment on that. Finding things can be a bit hard. Once you're familiar with the place, I'm sure it's not too much of an issue, but we had some issues tracking down local Nebraska beers or Meads. We had to ask for help both times, but as I said, staff was super helpful and fantastic. Parking is a bit of a pain. It's not horrendous, but if you have a bunch of alcohol and it's heavy, the parking directly outside the door may be full up, and since it's a shopping area, you'll have to park a bit further away. Prices are a bit higher. It's not insanely so, but I'd expect to pay about $1 more for beer six-packs than most other places. It seemed worth it to support a local business, but sometimes the prices did seem pretty high. Great place, though. If I was looking for a specific item or something high-end with some good recommendations or was in the area, I'd probably come here. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come here regularly just for random alcohol I already know I want.

    When I think of Spirit World, it's usually a place I pick up bottles of wine to enjoy at home. This place is so much more than a liquor store. They have a nice deli area with some of the best homemade soups in town. They also have a nice little bar where you can find unique cocktails! If you are in the Aksarben area, I would highly recommend stopping in for a drink and a bite to eat!

Well I was embarrassingly surprised at the quality of bourbons that they had behind the counter. Let's face it, If you're looking for anything Buffaloe Trace, or Heaven Hill etc... They have it! You may ask then why the low rating score?... Well, If you're into paying 200% and upwards over msrp for a bottle of liquor, then this is the place for you. I am not sure how this place survives with competing grocers and other well established sprit shops within 15-20 minutes of each other that carry the same brands. In some instances you may have to enter a raffle for the Wellers, Pappy's etc. But you would never pay 200% over msrp, which let's be honest - this is probably the worst price gouging in the state! Before someone states "that's business 101" I understand that they are in business to make a buck! But charging over $300 for a $35-50 bottle of bourbon? This is some type of slum-lord ownership that I personally would not mind seeing close its doors - which probaby will not happen bc everyone needs their hooch!

Located in the old market area, parking can sometimes be a challenge. Don't be deterred as La Buvette offers a nice respite after strolling through the old market and visiting some of the wonderful little shops that are so unique to Omaha. Offering a wonderful selection of wines, a rather extensive list of nibbles, and food dishes that are rather extensive. Specialties offered as well. Our server was super friendly and when things get hopping it can be a bit of a wait so don't be in a rush (remember what I said about European charm). A really nice place to stop in, but note that accessibility may be a challenge for some (narrow passages and stairs to basement restrooms).

The menu with the larger plates changes on a daily basis and can be found on their instagram. We had a cheese plate, the muhamara, and the duck confit. Sadly, even by 7 PM, the were already out of our first few choices for dinner. The cheese, bread, and duck were all delicious. The muhamara was a bit too acidic for my liking.
