OUR STORY

Crafted with Passion & Pride

Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa — James Spirits is more than a liquor store. We are curators of extraordinary spirits, advocates for local craft, and a gathering place for those who appreciate the art of the pour.

SINCE 2010

A Neighborhood Institution Built on Craft

James Spirits was founded with a simple belief: that every bottle tells a story. Nestled at 1907 13th Street in the heart of Cedar Rapids, we’ve grown from a small boutique shop into one of Iowa’s most respected destinations for premium and craft spirits.

From locally distilled bourbons to internationally celebrated cognacs, our selection is curated with the same care a sommelier brings to wine. We don’t just sell spirits — we help you discover yours.
