Beverages & More

Good prices but lacks heart. This is basically the Walmart of booze. yes they have better prices than your local booze shop but does the clerk know who you are? no porn here either, or knives or candy. boo.
what a sad day it will be when I give up buying skittle-​brau fixins from my local shop and buy here like another sad anonymous Drunk. I always feel paranoid pulling out of this parking lot too.

It’s like an alcoholics candy store. You can pretty much find any type of alcohol here. Aisles and aisles of wine.
I personally love their selection of mixers. There’s a wide variety of daiquiri, martini, and margaritas mixers.
The prices are pretty good. Sign up for the bevmo club rewards, its free and it entitles you to their club prices.
Pretty decent sized lot so there’s no need to look for parking. Great one stop shop for all of your alcohol needs. If you’re having a big party I’d suggest going to Costco as they have bigger bottles for cheap. But if yi you’re just having a few people over, this is definitely a great place to go.

This BevMo has ridiculous customer service. Every time I go in there it takes forever for someone to help me find something. I’ve never had a solid «this person knows what they’re doing» experience. Just moments ago I called to reserve a keg. I was put on hold for a few minutes, then heard someone pushing the keypad of the phone, then they hung up on me. Classic. If you don’t need anyone’s help and you don’t mind paying average to above average prices, then this place is fine.

It’s booze! Lots and lots of booze!
No idea why it’s not listed as Bevmo on Unilocal,but eh. It’s a BevMo!
I love warehouse like liquor stores. Not keen on big box stores in general a la Costco or Sam’s, but for some reason, when I know it’s all boozy goodness, I’m totally down with it. Must be me. Ah well.
The boy and I had just finished a delightful meal at Hamro Aangan, and I wanted to head over to get some hard cider. Really, I was just hoping they had hard cider… at least more than one kind. Happily, they did! Several different brands awaited me, which made me very happy. I just did a dart in-​dart out on this place, but everything was laid out nicely, they had a cheese-​shop area, cold case, and lots and lots of wine. I’ll certainly come back again to get my fave ciders and check more things out.
Employees were friendly, they have a small parking lot, and it’s easy to get to by bus.

Bewmo has alcohoic beverages of all kinds. cigars are also stocked here.

We got all of our alcoholic beverages from this BevMo for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. Aside from the selection you’d expect from BevMo, the people (especially Marla) were so helpful and friendly! We found some amazing deals on the wines and champagne, and they were just so great with the service! Both the wines and champagnes also tasted and looked really great, and we were able to easily meet our budget. Pickup was super easy, and they also chill whatever you need. Great service!

BevMo is BevMo, right? I’ve lived in San Francisco and in El Dorado County, where I had to drive like 25 miles to even get to one, but it’s kind of a big box store where you know what you are in for — the liquor selection (for me) is fairly predictable, but the wines are kind of like an adventure. With my tastes, I’m not sure if I’m going to walk out of there with an old favorite that wasn’t there last time, or some delightful — or acceptably so-​so — new wine (that might or might not be there next time.)
The help is usually robotic, and they always encourage you to fill out the surveys on-​line and I never have before until last week I actually had a checkout clerk that talked about wine with me! Awesome! I ended up buying two more bottles (which came in handy for a last minute dinner party.) What bums me out is that the survey didn’t let me tell how great this experience was for me so I’m writing this review to sing praises to Roxanna!
I moved here from wine country in El Dorado County where most wine purchases were in an actual winery where you could talk about the wines. I’ve never expected this from a BevMo employee, but it was mighty nice!
Plus, the store is less than a mile from my house. Dangerous.
So, as BevMo’s go, I’d say this is my favorite so far.
Biggest complaint I probably have is about the parking lot. Best to park in the street — exit from the parking lot is too close to the corner of San Pablo and Solano and it can be tough to get out.

good beer, wine and booze for good prices…
the reason why i’m giving this place 5 and not 4 is because of my experience the last time i was in there…
so my girlfriend and I asked for help getting some grappa from behind a glass case and we asked which one she liked better… SHE ACTUALLY SAID I DON’T KNOW… I HAVEN’T TRIED IT… then asked us about it
that has never happened and i wish i knew her name because everybody who works there usually makes something up about how good stuff is even if they don’t know… it was so nice to hear «I don’t know» for once… as long as it’s not everytime, i’m cool :)

BevMo! This is a spectacular slice of heaven on earth. Liquors, wines, beers, and snacks galore. Stocked and loaded for any drinker’s needs.
There is a lovely woman at this location that knows exactly where to find every specific wine I’m ever looking for, which is no small feat given the warehouse-​size proportions of the store. They even carry the new-​to-​market Omission beer, what a pleasant surprise!
Even the abbreviated selection of chips is well-​curated, something only a true chip addict could appreciate.
Definitely sign up for a (free) BevMo club card, and be sure to provide your phone number so you don’t actually have to carry the card with you. This card will allow you to take advantage of one of the best things I’ve ever heard: the nickel sale! Anything tagged as part of the nickel sale means you buy the first bottle, and pay only a nickel for the second. AMAZING!

They have all the great stuff for you non-​alcoholics out there!

Thirsty? Look no further, BevMo! has every tasty adult beverage you may just be looking for! From wines, to beer, to liquor, even snacks of all varieties, they’re fully stocked!
The staff is friendly, helpful, and I highly recommend signing up for a ClubBev card so you get discounts on products. I will no longer be disappointed by lacking beer and whiskey selections elsewhere. BevMo! is where it’s at! Great prices, awesome selection, nice staff… it really is a booze wonderland in there! They can even help you plan a party or event if you need help, how awesome is that?
ps: Enjoy, drink safe, don’t drive :)

Will I EVER come here on a day that isn’t Saturday between 1:00pm and 4:00pm? Unlikely.
$ 1 Wine tasting with cheese in the back of the store EVERY Sat. If you know you need to get a wine (which is usually what finds me in BevMo), plan your trip for Saturday and you’ll get to taste them instead of having to patrol through the rows upon rows looking for the right price/​varietal that has the «best looking label» — yes, you’re caught, I know that’s how you usually chose your wines… right? Tell me I’m not the only one.
No longer. Now I bring a wine that I’ve actually tasted and can vouch for!
You’re welcome.

It’s Bevmo, so I’m not going to bother getting into what they sell. I did find everything I was looking for liquor/​liqueur wise.
I just want to applaud this store on having really great customer service. The staff were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about helping us shop for some cocktail making ingredients. It was not in a pushy buy more stuff way, but in an «I too love cocktails!» way. Not sure if the staff works a regular schedule, but we were in on a Saturday afternoon.
Great experience. Good work guys.

On an absolutely-​last-​minute trip to quickly seek out and retrieve a good sized keg for a raging house party my little brothers were throwing, BevMo comes through in the end.
Plenty of mass consumable big boys (i.e., your Water/​Water Lights, all glorious 15 gallons of each) in storage? Check.
Very kind, accommodating, helpful, and chill staff members? Check.
The best part: a handsome and hard-​working young stallion who will wheel the keg out to your car, PICK IT UP HIMSELF and place it oh so gently in the hot mess that is the trunk of the car? Check.
Sir, I tip my hat to you. And by that, I mean I would like to marry you and have your beer wielding, beer drinking babies.

I ran into an old friend at BevMo on NYE. Knowing that I don’t drink alcohol, she asked why I’m there.
My love for cigars and a Don Tomas Cameroon Perfecto 1 is the answer!
Great selection of smokes that are kept in a great humidor! Why buy a box, only to find that you can’t store your investment at home properly?
I’m drawing on one of those bad ass Perfecto’s right now. Rich, spicy beauties practically melt in your mouth. And at a fair price at BevMo!

Carry more aquavit please. Thanks!
Radio’ing skus is not an efficient POS process.

Yes, it’s true. I love me some BevMo.
Big warehouse-​style liquor store, how could I possibly not love that?
BevMo has a really good overall selection. Although I have gone looking for something I didn’t find at BevMo (most recently I could not find any GlenDronach single malt Scotch), there is more under one roof at a BevMo than anywhere else I’ve been.
The price for any random item at any given time may not be the best price anywhere, but there’s lots of sales & promos. The prices are pretty good overall too. Customer service varies widely, though.
At this Albany store, just during this last visit, 2 employees were more than happy to help me find an 18 year Glenfiddich but the cashier was rude & scowled at me for interrupting her personal conversation with a friend because I wanted to buy my Scotch. Here’s a tip, when you’re at work try doing your job.
Oh well, I still love me some BevMo.

Huge warehouse, well-​stocked. Staff try to be helpful, although product knowledge varies widely, even if you ask for someone who knows a particular section.
Be sure to take advantage of the semi-​annual 5-​cent wine sale — buy one bottle and receive a duplicate bottle for 5 cents!

This is my hometown BevMo (and former Liquor Barn). I don’t think it’s as nice as the one a Jack London Square or Walnut Creek, but I think it is better than the one in Orinda.
The key thing is that the Albany BevMo has what I usually seek (micro-​brew, wine, soft drinks, appetizers, etc.) among a very good selection and decent prices. And I know where everything is located. The cigar section also provides me the occasion empty box for my various tchotchke storage needs.
There are a few small irritations. The checkout lines can sometimes be slow and somewhat under-​resourced. And although there is decent parking, getting there and out via San Pablo Avenue can be a challenge.

I like that I can walk here. So when I’m out under the pretense of walking my dogs, I can stop by here and pick up a 6 pack or 3 of beer and a few bottles of wine. Of course, that also means I’ll have to carry it home … but that’s what dogs are for.
Good selection all around … liquors, wines, juices and snacks. They also sell stupid drinking games that I keep looking at everytime I go in. One day, I’ll probably buy it and die of alcohol poisoning shortly there after … especially if I go home and play by myself.
I wish they had a better selection of chilled champagne. Also be careful with the perishables … last time I was there, the salsa looked fermented and was about to explode.
