Tipsy’s Liquor

I go here for craft beer. They have a LOT of it. Seriously, their selection is amazing, and the staff is knowledgable and friendly.
It’s everything you could want in a liquor store.

I come here often to get my wine/​mixed drink fix. This place has a great selection and staff is always around to help!

Rude rude rude! Drove out of our way because it was recommended, and the employees acted like they were put out when we needed help finding something. Get over yourselves, fellas. You are selling booze, not curing cancer.

The short: A little liquor store with a pretty decent selection
The long: I stopped in looking for a few specific items that I was hoping I would be able to find in here. I had never been in Tipsy’s before so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I had been told they carried more variety in product than the run of the mill liquor store. Unfortunately I was unable to find any of the things I was looking for, but the staff was able to direct me to a place in town where I could find what I was after.
What works: Decent prices and likely something to meet your need
What to improve: Maybe a little more not so common can’t get everywhere product

I’d say the selection here is above average and the staff is certainly helpful. Those two things and location are really all that matter for a liquor store, right? Being smack dab in the middle of Mission means this place has the trifecta going on!

I don’t usually spend a lot of time having fun, i.e. drinking in Kansas because bad things tend to happen. Now, I’m not saying that the Kansas side, more like Johnson County area, of this fair metropolitan area is bad, but it just seems that bad things happen. Kansas friends, I don’t know how you do it.
Regardless, I have more and more friends moving that way whether for work, kids, both, other, etc… and sometimes they want to have fun so I’m around more often.
Here’s where Tipsy’s Liquor fits in. It’s pretty well smack dab in the middle of some friends and the perfect place to stock up for whatever occasion I’m attending. And believe me, Tipsy’s provides PLENTY of options.
Beer: If you can think of it and it’s distributed in Kansas, there’s a good chance it’s in the freezer or on the floor. They had all of the major players plus seasonals and even some limited releases.
Liquor: About half the store is devoted to your harder alcoholic loves. I don’t have a super hard liquor palate, but they do have what I like. If you’re looking for some of the harder and top shelf stuff you might call and ask, but there’s a good chance it’s in here.
Wine: The other half of the floor plan is filled with wine. I’ve noted in earlier liquor store reviews that I’m not much of a wine drinker and this review doesn’t change that, but I do believe with the amount of wine on the floor that there’s a very very good chance you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Last, but not least, I don’t want to forget the staff. They’re great. I walked in one time looking for a hard-​to-​find seasonal that the distributor’s website said was stocked here. Looks like I was a little late, but after the staff looked to see if it was stocked, they told me normally when it ships so I could plan for next year and then suggested about three or four other beers that were similar to what I was looking for.
You can’t really beat that.

Best liquor store in town. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and always well stocked.

This is one of the two liquor stores near my home that I visit often. I mean, if I bought liquor often I would come here all the time. That’s if I made frequent trips for booze.
This store has an easy layout and well stocked shelves. I don’t know what temp they keep their coolers at, but I’m pretty sure they are a little cooler than average. I reserve the right to be wrong.
The staff here is friendly and inviting. In the unheard of event that I cannot find something the gentleman have always been accommodating.
I enjoy coming here. I mean, if I went to the liquor store often, I would be happy to come here.

I used to totally dig Tipsy’s. A lot! When it first opened here a few years ago, everyone who worked there was super nice and helpful. Recently they have all new employees and in the past few months that I’ve been there, every time I leave I end up wishing I’d have made the longer trip to the next liquor store down the street to avoid such rudeness. I understand people hating their job or something, but that doesn’t mean you need to be outright rude in any way possible to a customer. Or maybe they were just never taught manners– I can’t imagine hearing a «Thank You» from any one of those guys, and have not. I’ll go anywhere else to avoid another situation like the last ones I’ve had there.

B–
Tipsy’s is one of my go-​to liqour stores in Mission.
Great service and nice selection of wine and beer. Love that you can build your own six packs.
Only down side that it is all the way over in Mission and their prices tend to be higher than most competitors.
Also, large contigent of Jayhawk fans work there. So that sucks.
All in all, Tipsy’s is a good liqour store. And it’s always clean. You could definitely do worse.

Tell the guys at Tipsy’s the kind of drinks you like, and they will help you find something new and delicious.
Even better: Tell the guys at Tipsy’s that you have to bring wine to a party, but you don’t really drink much wine and you don’t want to spend too much money, and they will help you find something that people will go crazy over.
They have a pretty large selection, and everything is priced well. The store is clean, bright and welcoming. Totally worth the crappy parking.

Tipsy’s is probably the closest liquor store to our house, which means that we’ve been in a few times since we moved to the area. While the beer selection is great (and has allowed my husband to stock up on some of the Sam Adams special edition beers like the very tasty Verloren), I have to say that the prices on liquor are substantially higher than other places I have found in the area.
The guys working in there are always very nice — friendly, and willing to help out or suggest a beer or wine you might like based on your purchases, which is awesome. (I’m always up for trying something new!) There’s also a wide selection of pretty much any alcohol you’d possibly want (even in the little «travel size» bottles), which is cool.
So, for beer and friendly customer service, Tipsy’s is definitely great, but if I’m buying liquor, unless I’m feeling SUPER lazy, I’ll head elsewhere and save myself a few bucks.

I have stopped by Tipsy’s Liquor three times since moving to Kansas City, and have been pleased each time we stop in.
I can’t help but validate what everyone else has said, their customer service is top notch. Not over the top, but just right. We are always greeted when we walk in, they are there to help but don’t hover, and I’ve always had a conversation at the register with whoever was working. Usually about my out of state driver’s license (still)! They all seem very laid back, but knowledgeable.
Huge walk in refrigerated section, clean store, and easy to navigate through without the awkward open spaces I’ve noticed at a lot of liquor stores? I can’t comment too much on the price because I don’t purchase alcohol on a regular enough basis, but I haven’t ever been taken back by the prices.

I don’t know if it is just me but I think everyone needs a good neighborhood liquor store in your life. I must frequent there a lot because I walked in there one Saturday evening and the guy at the counter called me by my first name and asked if I had liked the Sauvignon Blanc that I got the last time.
I love this place because they have a great selection and have great customer service. They are always friendly and polite. They are quick to offer suggestions and not just try to sell you the most expensive item.
I love that you build your own six pack. They keep a great stock and I never leave the store empty handed. They are also known to help a girl out who can’t get off work to buy some Boulevard Chocolate Ale.
Check if out if you live in the Mission area!

We were in Mission already, and I was doing a «search nearby», and felt compelled to check out Tipsy’s. It wasn’t even that we needed to go to a liquor store. But the reviews I saw motivated me to pop in, & check the place out for myself. I am glad that I did. Everything I read was validated with my own real life experience. VERY good customer service. Wow.
And because the selection at Tipsy’s was so good, we DID end up walking out the door with not just one but multiple purchases. I did the walk through, starting on one end, aisle by aisle, and browsed the entire store. And I really was impressed. I managed to find everything I would have wanted, AND additional items that i did not even know existed. I will definitely be going back, even though Tipsy’s is not in my neighborhood.
If you are looking for gifts — you will find something. Absolutely stop by Tipsy’s if you are in need of a beverage related housewarming type gift. They have everything; including the small sample gift sized options.
We had a great customer experience. And on my 2^nd to last aisle, I caught of glimpse of the cold case beer options — and saw some gluten free beers and ciders. A VERY LARGE selection of them, too. They have New Planet (which is one of my favorites), AND a variety of ciders.
Tipsy’s is worth the trip if you are not near Mission. And if you are in Mission — you have no excuse.

Tipsy’s gets top marks in my book. The place is fairly large, the selection is great, and the staff is knowledgeable. The store is ALWAYS clean and well stocked. They have a great selection of wine and beer (you can build your own 6 packs). They also stock mixers and even cigars!
If you live in Mission or are around the Johnson Drive area you aren’t going to find a bigger or better selection anywhere else!

Tipsy’s gets top billing in my book. I have so many locations to pick from where I could spend my money, but I will drive the extra couple of miles to go to Tipsy’s. Why?
1. They are customer service oriented
2. It is a nice, big, and CLEAN store
3. The craft beer selection is amazing
4. You can mix and match a huge selection of beers to build your own 6 pack
5. I have yet to see them run out of stock on my favorite items
What else could you possibly ask for? You go in, you feel confident they have what you are looking for, if you need anything someone has already greeted you and walked you over to it, you check out with speedy precision, and you are on your way home. Short, sweet, to the point, and straight up the best way to do business. Kudos to the owners of Tipsy’s!

I stopped by Tipsys in a last ditch effort to try to find the elusive Chocolate Ale that Boulevard has out today, and it’s my regular liquor store.
Every time I’ve been there, the people have been extremely helpful in picking out Champagne, trying different wines, and even advice on some beer.
They offer a build your own six pack option, so you can try out several different kinds of beer without committing to an entire six pack. Just in case you happen to hate what you are trying.

Great customer service and a large selection of wine and beer.
The first time I went to Tipsy’s I wanted to get a bottle of wine for my wife. It was our anniversary and I wanted to get her a unicorn, but I couldn’t find one so I settled on a bottle of wine. After a few minutes walking around like a dumbfounded ogre, the staff asked me if I needed any help. I know nothing about wine. Isn’t it grape juice? Anyways, I told them a price range and some characteristics of wine she likes. They gave me a couple of suggestions and I finally settled on one. It’s wasn’t a unicorn, but she was extremely happy.
I’ve gone back a few times since then and have always got great customer service. They have a variety of beers and I enjoy creating my own six pack. There pricing is good and the small cigar shop make it a one-​stop shop.

I really like their name, for starters. And although this isn’t the closest liquor store to my house, it is the closest to my work, so I’ve gone here before after work to get a bottle of wine or a six-​pack. It is a pretty large store and has a pretty good selection, but it never seems busy when I am in there. The staff seems slow to acknowledge you, but they usually have what I am looking for.
They just opened in October of 2008, so it might take a while for business to start up. They are located where Hollywood Video used to be, in that strip mall called ‘Broadmoor Square’.
A few of the other local liquor stores have nicer staff, but they really don’t have the selection that Tipsy’s has. I’d recommend going here if you want a lot of choices or have a rarer choice in mind.
