Gus’ Liquor Store

Gus’ Package Store, or Gus’ Liquors as it’s known now, is a charming little store in the heart of historical downtown Guthrie. The store itself is sort of hidden along the side of Springer Ave. so it’s pretty easy to miss, but if you consider yourself a liquor/​beer connoisseur, this place is a must visit.
Though Gus’ Liquors looked like nothing more than your local mom and pop’s liquor store upon first glance (as it should, since it is family run and owned), a closer inspection of the establishment brought a surprising smile to my face – this store has all my German favorites all in one location: Warsteiner, Bitburger, Franziskaner, Paulaner, and Erdinger are just among the few rare imports you’ll find at Gus’, joined by a wide and intelligent choice of microbrews and of course your standard medioc… I mean, party brews like Bud, Coors, and etc.
Gus’ Liquors is also stocked with enough hard liquor to outlast a second coming of the Prohibition, their wine selection is mostly American but extensive and well thought out; if you’re a casual glass-​of-​wine-​with-​dinner guy, you’ll have no problem finding your gallo or clos du bois here.
Since the alcohol tax in Oklahoma is significantly higher than a lot of states, you may notice that the prices here are a little bit steeper than most other states (like California, where yours truly claims residence,) but otherwise, this liquor store is an island of excellence in a sea of mediocrity.
