Eastman Party Store — Restaurant in Midland

My wife and I were in visiting family from out of town and popped into Eastman Party Store to grab some local beer. We asked about a seasonal Founders beer we’re fond of and the salesperson didn’t think it had released yet. She gave us some great alternatives and we were getting ready to check out and the salesperson found the beer we were looking for. We were ecstatic! So we asked if we could by 3 cases and then everyone started acting like we were a huge annoyance. I began grabbing the cases and another salesperson told me to put them back because they were checking the back, so I said ok and followed directions. After I put them back they proceeded to grab them and move them to the counter but not before scolding us for trying to take the beer on top that they wanted to be the display because the box was already cut open. We were getting ready to spend nearly 400$. Maybe let us have the beer? So now we have the beer and pay them close to 400$, like I said. Not one person said thank you or offered to help us take it to the car. My wife had to bend over and grab a case off of the ground while holding another bag because I was already carrying 2 cases. While loading the car I saw another customer being followed by a man with a hand truck to their vehicle with a small order while we struggled to get the car open. If you don’t want customers to buy expensive beer don’t put it out. Also, maybe say thank you. Nothing worse than buying good beer from beer snobs that don’t think...

I discovered this fantastic party store during my college days, and it’s still a favorite. I’ll even drive from home just to experience their incredible cheese selection again! One standout is the Prairie Breeze cheese—its rich, buttery flavor and delightful creaminess make it an absolute must-try.

The store offers an impressive variety of artisanal cheeses, and the extensive wine selection truly elevates the experience. I also love that they provide a take-home cooler for your purchases, which keeps everything fresh. Plus, if you return the cooler, you get 10% off your next purchase—a great incentive!

The knowledgeable staff is always eager to help, providing fantastic recommendations for pairings. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or just treating yourself, this party store is a must-visit. It’s definitely worth the drive for the Prairie Breeze...

We started making "Home Brew" about 23 years ago. We have always counted on the Eastman Party Store for our "Home Brew" supplies. Now we have an annual Renaissance Party in our yard every fall and our "Home Brew" is always a big hit! We live way out in the country, and we use well water in our process, (no chlorine) and this beer is always 100% awesome! I was very disappointed when I stopped to get our beer making supplies this summer and discovered that they no longer carry "Cooper's Australian Lager". In fact, I did not see a single "Cooper" product on the shelves. Bad form! Fortunately, I was able to locate it on the internet and ordered my supplies directly from Tuscon, Arizona. The supplies will be delivered directly to my door. Please put Cooper's products back on your shelves Eastman...
