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.
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.
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!

This is basically a higher end, but similar experience to Beer, Wine and Spirits near oak view. They had a nice variety of beers on tap and we easily found some comfy couches to relax. They had some wine samples available the night we stopped in. I enjoyed the opportunity to browse their selections after a couple of beers. read more
Has a great room for a small group gathering. Located in Aksarben, there is parking right outside and steps away in a garage. I visited this location for a small holiday season celebration and enjoyed tasty snacks and experimented with suggested wines. I left with a bottle of good wine and an even tastier jalapeño-raspberry jam. read more

This was my second visit to Spirit World and it was for an event in their private room. The private room is located in the back not too far from the restrooms which works out nicely. The room itself has a rustic vibe, the walls are glass and privacy is provided by the bottles on the shelves in the store and creates a cool look. JoJo was amazing to work with. He frequently stopped in the room to see if anyone needed to put a drink order in. Tyler created two custom cocktails and did a quick demo on how to make them. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We also ordered a light lunch which was excellent. The chicken salad is five stars. Spirit World may not be the first place that comes to mind when looking for a venue to host a small event, but it should be! The event was perfect and JoJo and staff were a big part of it! read more
The new location suits Spirit World incredibly well. Their old place always felt very cramped to me - full of great stuff, but crowded and not necessarily inviting. Now though, they're one of my favorite spots in Omaha. The deli is excellent, with a wide variety of made-to-order sandwiches (the asparagus cream cheese wrap is delicious), and their selection of wine, beer, and spirits is great. They have quite a good range of craft beers available, although the prices are a bit on the high side compared to some of the other places in town (like Beertopia). That said, if you think of it like a bar/restaurant rather than simply a beer store (you can buy and drink any of their beers to drink on premises), the prices suddenly seem much better. They also have an amazing selection of whiskies available for purchase, with probably the best selection of single malt scotch that I've found in Omaha. They also have a great variety of independent bottlings, something I haven't found elsewhere around here. It's clear that the staff are passionate about this stuff (as am I), and I really appreciate that I can just come in and geek out about my favorite whiskies and find a sympathetic ear. They also have periodic tastings in their (amazing) private tasting room. It's a warm, inviting venue, and the tastings themselves put anything else I've encountered to shame. If you are a whisk(e)y fan, you owe it to yourself to attend. To top it all off, they've got my favorite bar in all of Omaha. Yes, it's on the small side, no, it's not the cheapest, and no, you won't get frilly frozen cocktails there, but you WILL get damn good drinks from people who know what they're doing. If Alzuri is working, he'll make you the best classic cocktails you've ever had. Trust his judgment and experience, and you will be rewarded with top quality drinks that put many other bars to shame. read more
My brother and I stopped in here on Christmas Eve and loved it! At first glance, I didn't think they had a huge selection, but it's all there, trust me. The more you walk around, the more you find and discover all of these wonderful different varieties of wines, bourbons, vodka, beer...you name it. The deli also has a fantastic selection of meats, cheeses, appetizers and so much more. The employees will recommend them with certain cocktails or pairing them with the right beer. Speaking of the employees, they are more than helpful and extremely knowledgable on their products. They helped me find exactly what I needed. I'll definitely be back! read more
Came here on a whim and discovered a great bar. Or, at least a great bartender named Paul. Spirit World has been in Omaha for as long as I can remember. A great place to discover and learn wines, spirits and deli food. I actually bought my wine rack from them about three years ago. They recently moved to the Stinson Park area and now compete against Omaha establishments like Brix. It is now a modern vendor of spirits and wine (it's always been nice, mind you. It's just lost its '80s decor). As can be seen by the Drink Specials, the drinks are not overly priced and are of the classic variety. You should be able to find your poison of choice on special. Paul knows his craft. He knows the history of a drink and can make it well. I intend to come back and challenge him in the future. Oh...and the deli food is great! read more
This was my second visit to Spirit World. I went there as part of a group to review their new menu. There were between 30 and 40 people in the group. They started the evening showing us how to make an Aviation Cocktail highlighting some of the different formulas that are used. We then were given a sampling of Crostini's from their dinner menu. They were delicious. This was followed by sandwich samples, also delicious. We also had a wine tasting/presentation. I talked to the woman who gave the presentation and found her to be very knowledgeable. I would feel comfortable with any recommendation she made. I also spent more time checking prices of various liquors and found them to be reasonably priced. This was an issue I had with them in my first review. The only issue I still have with them is the noise level, I missed most of the presentations, because I couldn't hear the speaker over the noise. They do have a separate room for groups, which I think would be necessary. Because of the quality and taste of the food, price and knowledgeable personnel, I have upgrade my review and would feel comfortable recommending this place as a restaurant or as a good place to buy wine, especially if you need help in selecting one for a special occasion. read more
For years I had felt that Spirit World was a great Wine and Whiskey store, but only had beer for 'those other people'. I still felt the same when they moved to Aksarben Village until last Christmas. That was when I met Alex and he seemed new to craft beer but was taking his position here seriously. On Friday he was on 1620's Beer Thirty talking about how now they serve Draft Beer and have 3 taps where they now sell growlers. He was there today and talked beer for half an hour and came out of there with Crooked Staves' IPA. the Growler itself only goes for $3.00 and the IPA went for a total of $9.00, a very decent price. Next time you can switch out the growler so there will be no bottling fee. Alex hopes to have 3-4 more taps soon, they need to find the space for it. Right now it is just south of the Deli. Hopefully they will soon be on UnTappd so we can see what is on tap! read more

I was greeted and asked if I needed assistance right away. The salesman was friendly and knowledgeable and helped me make a great choice in no time. Great choice, strong vodka. read more
There's plenty of reasons why they've been in business 42 yrs!! The new location at Aksarben Village is fresh & inviting! They encourage you to get a drink & shop around at the vast selection of beers, wines & liquors!! There's plenty of table seating if you'd like a small snack or a light meal! We tried braised beef crostini which I highly recommend. The chicken salad has been a favorite of mine for many yrs! There's a private party room for approx 15 pple-nice for any occasion! The staff is highly knowledgeable on every item-I was looking for a smokey Mezcal tequila & I was offered a sample of Sombra Mezcal! Wow I was impressed it was right on!!!! If you like Scotch they have a selection like no other! The bar only seats approx 8 pple but the bartenders are experienced & quick to get your drink!! They made a fantastic Aviation-classic gin, creme de violette & Luxardo! My new fav!!! I look forward to going back!! read more

Another place I had planning on visiting. We went with a yelp event. The staff was reeeeaaalllyy knowledgeable. Alzuri made us some sample drinks and Matt made an amazing Old Fashion to finish the evening. Best thing? They showed how to make the drinks and had the liquor there to purchase so I can easily duplicate at home. Cheers and amazingly well done! read more

Great space. My only complaints are it needs to showcase it's wine better (good selection) and take better advantage of the kitchen. I feel like there are missed opportunities here..... read more
