About Us

Founded in 2019, The Pairing is devoted to providing the best possible wine experience for its customers. It didn’t take long for The Pairing the pivot and become the space that the neighborhood needed during the stresses that followed as the city shut down around it. While the wine bar went dark for months, the retail space remained open and until people were safe gathering again. Since the return of the wine bar, The Pairing has become a special place where people can be together over live music and incredible drinks.

We are a liquor store in the front with a full bar in the back, and have a growing live music culture and scene. We have the ability to offer the opening of bottles from the shelf, pour-by-the glass, education about wine and spirit flights, offer a large rotating beer selection, and have an impressive and rapidly growing whiskey list. The Pairing also offers a culinary program fashioning some of the best charcuterie boards in town!

What Our Customers Saying…

An excellent selection and the staff is very helpful as well as friendly. Went to check out the bar in back. Mat and the rest of the staff were all great. We had some excellent cheese, charcuterie, and hummus. They were all very friendly and pleasant. We had our 4 year old son with us and they were very engaging with him as well. Definitely will be back.Read more

The people are what makes this a 5-star business! Yes, they have a great selection and harder to find items. But the reason to give them your business is because they go above and beyond. I was looking for something special and they hunted it down for me and then had the decency to not inflate the price.Read more

If you haven't been yet, visit the awesome crew at the Pairing and head straight to the bar in the back to sample wine, eat charcuterie and snacks, and even watch the games! Being a liquor store as well, snag something from their HUGE expertly sourced local and national beer as well as wine and liquor from floor to ceiling.Read more

This place...OMG....you can grab anything from a huge selection of health conscious snacks, vegetarian or vegan options and some DELICIOUS brews, wine or hard liqour. The Best Part....you can drink it there at the bar in the back, or take it to go. Brilliant Idea...YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! I found some brews here I have not seen anywhere else in KC! I love that they have all the local stuff that's canned too :)Read more

Was suggested to go here, as I’m a charcuterie and wine loving vegan! Pictures of the inside don’t do it justice! Brick interior with wine-lined walls (all the way up to the ceiling!) Tables scattered throughout holding other spirits, a freezer section nestled in the corner with all sorts of goodies to pair with your beverage of choice, and then the bar! We ordered the traditional flight as well as the vegan charcuterie. The bar tender was beyond knowledgeable about the wines and was wonderful to chat with throughout our stay. The wines were fantastic and the charcuterie blew me away. I’m so happy to have a place near by that accommodates to my dietary preferences! The person who created our board was also very knowledgeable and gave us a run down of everything included. They even sell the vegan meats and cheeses so you can make your own at home! We could’ve stayed here all night! Great food, tasty drink selections, cozy ambiance, and great service! We will certainly be coming back! This place is a must try if you’re in the area!Read more

One of the best bars/liquor stores in KC. I cannot speak highly enough about this place. Great selection of wine. The staff are very knowledgeable about wine and always have the best recommendations. They even recommended a great place in Napa for us to visit when we were there. They have a great selection of wine behind the bar, but you can also purchase a bottle and drink it at the bar for a $10 corkage fee. Highly recommend!Read more
