Cellar Rat Wine Merchants

Fantastic selection of wines and Champagnes/ sparkling- very importantly - great people working there- the whole team is fabulous and helpful. I love the wine education / palate exploration opportunities well available and the wine/ bubbles club is well curated. Community building is exceptional, people remember your name there.
The space itself is beautiful, contemporary and has a great energy. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Cellar Rat is by far the best wine shop in the region, and it’s really not even close. Their selections are excellent, their people are friendly and knowledgeable, and their prices are very solid.

Even if you’re looking for beer or whiskey, they have a fine selection of non-wine goods. But, let’s be honest, you’re going there for the wine first, and everything else second.

This was my first visit and it was part of a team builder that brought me there. I'm not even a wine consumer but found enough other items at the store to interest me. The owners and staff seem very knowledgeable for sure. They have memberships that seem very reasonabley priced. So before leaving I felt compelled to buy some of their chocolates just because they were so unique and who can pass up chocolate anyway. 😀

My favorite place to buy wine in the city! Everyone gives the best advice on what to get for any occasion.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Larger selection of wines and smaller but high quality selection of spirits.

Cellar Rat is where it’s at! I have never had such a good experience at a liquor store. The workers were so kind and knowledgeable.

The most helpful staff, owner is wonderful, great selection of wine and spirits, they only carry what they have tasted!

They have everything! Friendly staff for sure. 3-5 minute walk from Loew's Hotel. I wish there was a Cellar Rat in my small city.

A great wine store! Ordered wine for me that I could not find and introduced me to a new wine that I love.

We love the staff here, they are friendly and helpful. The selection is wide and it is always fun to peruse.

Great place with very knowledgeable people. I am not a wine drinker, but I attended a wine tasting with a group. They have a small but excellent selection of spirits. I really enjoyed talking to Brian, who was very knowledgeable about their whiskeys and other spirits. Their wine selection is very large and must be good as we ended up taking home a case. It's definitely worth the trip downtown.

Top notch in every way!! Staff is fantastic and they will guide you to whatever wine or spirit you might need.

Love the wine selection but mostly the service! They always help me find new wines.

Great wine and even better staff to provide friendly and helpful knowledge.

Updated March 2020...Excellent wine store with varied price points and very good of selection of wine, beer and spirits. Really good customer service. Offers tastings. An improved and growing craft beer selection including gluten free options which is appreciated.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are relatively fair, especially for being in the mid city. Great selection of wine! Beer selection is excellent as well! Worth stopping in for your tasty beverage needs!

That's what every wine merchant should be like, very nice industrial style, great wine selection, tasting events.
Perfectly located off main Street and get close to all restaurants, so perfect for pre dinner visits :)

The wine and spirits selection is fantastic, but the service is even better. I've been several times, and even when the store is busy the staff have been great about helping me find something I'll enjoy. I can't recommend this place highly enough. For a smaller store, the variety is great and the staff is very knowledgeable about what they have.

Wowza! Went in for liquor. Don't expect everyday stuff, so much to add to my Gin wish list! Dude was super helpful and knowledgeable.

One of the best liquor stores in KC (they sell all types of alcohol). They taste everything that comes in their doors so you know if they are selling it, it’s good. I don’t have to do the debate on whether something will taste bad - even their lowest priced products taste good. That’s a huge win for me. Plus their selections are HIGHLY curated. Their beer selection while smaller than other stores have incredibly good beers that well respected and sought after in the beer nerd community.
