BevMo!

Sandy was incredibly sweet and knew her product very well! She was very helpful! If you come in, ask for her!

Three stars because they have a good variety at some decent prices. The only gripe I have is that for the first time in 6+ years, the (female) cashier called over a manager to double check my ID before even looking at it. I’ve never had this happen before so I was taken aback. Also of late, I have had female cashiers who put more emphasis on seeing my ID while one let a male (around my age if not younger (mid 20s)) purchase without checking his id (apparently she was MGR). After seeing all the signs of having to be 21+ to enter and asking for id’s of people 50 years or less and knowing that this is not true, I feel offended and somewhat uncomfortable to come back. I hear Safeway does well with prices, so maybe I’ll have to change course.
* Cashier’s name who called to check ID: Brianna A

Store is always clean and well organized. If you walk around with a look of confusion on your face one of the team members will magically appear ready to help.

There has not been a time where I’ve been unable to find exactly what I’m looking for when visiting this Bevmo location. Staff here is super helpful, even on a busy day like New Year’s Eve. One thing that’s kind of disappointing is that prices are pretty standard, and even more expensive than Costco, when you feel like things should be cheaper here because it is a liquor warehouse. I can’t comment on the wine, but they have a massive seasonal beer selection if you’re into it.

Was disappointed to discover that some items are more costly than at Bristol Farms or Whole Foods, arguably the premium.
The one visible clerk-​droid had absolutely no understanding of the products on the shelf. She was on her cell phone, and took a break to shrug her shoulders and tell me she couldn’t help.

It’s probably only me but I always get the feeling the sales associates are sending vibes like maybe some of the regular customers are alkee’s or wino’s no yesses. We’re making this chain store really rich. Commentaries put aside. How can the associates tell if a customer is an alkee or a wino? Isn’t shopping suppose to be a happy experience without getting vibes you might have a drinking problem?

You come here to stock the hell up on anything and everything containing ethanol.
This is the better BevMo location when compared to the one in Laurel Heights, which has a much smaller floor plan and selection.
Don’t miss the wine sale: «buy a bottle, get a second for a nickel».
If you’re weird like me and enjoy Eastern European beer, they have the Karlovacko (Croatia) and Niksicko (Montenegro) varieties. Buy it if you like *good* pilsners and lagers because this stuff is extremely rare Stateside.

Got to the end of shopping then found out they only ship to California & Arizona. Thanks for wasting my time.

Bevmo! (Wine store)
This wine store is so big and you can easily buy wine from around the world. Because of the 5cent sales, we can buy cheaply and staff are very friendly and help me. I can easily find a bottle of wine. When you visit here and buy some wine, you can save money.

I love this place. Huge, clean store, very friendly and knowledgeable staff ready and willing to make recommendations!
I love the selection and specials here. Beer, wine, liquor, cigars, with a small selection of glassware, mixers, and snacks. Great place to stop by on your way to a party!

A place that has free parking is usually an automatic win in my book, and this place has it.
Fairly central location if you need to pick up standard beverage items, like half a dozen champagne bottles, 24-​packs of beer, cheap wine, sparkling ciders, and ice.
I don’t come here for kegs because the process seems a bit intrusive and more expensive than it needs to be, and I just don’t really feel all that comfortable with doing that here.
But for general party drink needs, this works.

I love BevMo. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. The 5 cent wine sales give you an opportunity to try new wines at a great price. Things are often on sale and hat makes it fun to shop there.

Unless your convenient store or local grocery store changes out their beer often, you’ll get to a point where you’ve probably tried all the beers you’re interested in. This is when you come to BevMo to try out something new and for a good price.
Speaking of price, you can also get some really good deals if you’re a wine drinker. Several times a year, BevMo has a .5 cent wine deal (basically buy 1 get 1 free.) And even though I hate signing up to be a member at every store, the BevMo club membership generally pays off with the offers they send you.
It may not be as easy to get to as those neighborhood convenience stores, but the selection more than makes up for the trek. Even though I’m closer to the Geary location, I always find better stuff at Van Ness. Also, if you’re coming by car, there’s a garage off Sutter that is quite spacious and way easier to drive in and out of then the Geary location.

A BevMo in the city that doesn’t feel like a Bevmo in the city.
Big, clean, spacious, plenty of «specials» advertised up front.
Plenty of workers who will hunt you down the aisles when you press the shiny red button in order to satisfy your thirst.
Right across from 24 hour fitness gym. So you know. Do a set of crunches and you’ve effectively earned yourself a cold one.
Congratulations.

LEGIT Bevmo.
playa parking lot included, so don’t worry about it being located on busy VAN-​NESS!
Huge selection of domestic craft brews, champagne, top shelf liquors, and cups, glasses, etc.
The only downside was the LOOOOOONG lines. according to the national retail federation surveys, customers in line for 21+ seconds already feel dissatisfied for having to wait!
I guess they don’t mind because after all we are waiting to purchase liquor: D

I think this is the biggest BevMo I’ve been to so far! From the outside I would’ve never thought how big it really is in the inside. I really like how It’s really organized and and they have a really good selection of craft beers! If you’re looking for that one beer you really want and can’t find it at your local liquor store I’m pretty sure this bevmo will have it! The staff is friendly and if you need help with anything just wave and they’ll be happy to help! If you’re looking for booze this is the place to go!

This review is for Sang and the wedding beverage coordination services.
We were lucky enough to have an open venue for our November 2014 that allows you to BYOB. We went by BevMo one Saturday for their regular tastings (who knew that BevMo offers free tastings every weekend?), and Sang scheduled a private wine tasting for us a couple weeks later, where we got to test several types of whites, reds, and sparkling. He sent us a questionnaire beforehand so he got a sense of our budget and tastes (no oakey Chardonnays for us!). The tasting was so fun-​Sang knows a ton about wine and we picked out our wedding wines right then. We decided to also use them to buy liquor and mixers – Sang was really helpful in recommending quantities based on guest count (we triangulated it with our caterer and my brother who is in the beverage industry, and their recommendations were accurate).
The only downside of BYOB venues is storage of the booze before your big day. With BevMo, if you spend more than $ 500 they’ll deliver the beverages chilled, for free, to your venue on the day of the event, which worked out wonderfully! I think that Costco can be cheaper for beer and liquor, but not having to worry about storage and delivery made BevMo an easy choice. They’ll also let you return unopened, undamaged bottles afterwards. Great experience and overall, a great bargain!

I think this was the first BevMo I have ever been in, so I always remember it as the BevMo on Van Ness. It’s quite large and has a good selection of whatever alcohol you want. The employees seem helpful enough.

Huge BevMo! store in Lower Pacific Heights. They have a super large collection of booze of all kinds — hard liquor, alcoholic beverages, wine, champagne, and the like.
Employees are friendly and it rarely gets crowded thanks to the size of the store.
Tip for newbies: Sign up for the BevMo! card — it really pays of on the discounted items (I paid half price for a bottle of wine the other day).

Ive only been to this location once for the 5 cent sale. I normally only go to bevo for the 5 cent sale because I find that their selection is a few dollars higher than trader joes or other stores.
I browsing for about 10 mins before someone asked to help me, which I think is a little long. There were not many people in the store. But once they did help me the person was very helpful and patient with my likes and dislikes to find the right wines.
I do wish they would cary muga rose from spain. In fact if anyone knows where I can get this wine I would be a very happy person.

Came here to pick up some desert wine. I love me some moscato! I was looking to see if I could find anything «different» that what your usual grocery (ie Safeway, or Trader Joe’s) carries. There were plenty of me to chose from!
This location is huge! They just went under renovations and expanded into the space that was next door. I do hate that you have to ask for an associate with some of the certain types of alcohol (ie Ciroc) but I guess it’s ok.
And thank you cashier for asking for my ID! I’ll gladly show it to you. I’ll be sad the day they stop asking.

They just renovated this location: it’s now double in size with a wine tasting counter, more registers, more selection, and a bathroom! I stopped off this weekend and there were loads of people giving free samples: it definitely has a much nicer experience now, similar to other Bevmo’s outside the city.

* alcohol selection is decent, similar to the other locations.
* staff isn’t as friendly as the bayview or vaness locations.
* semi easy street parking w/​meters (no more paying on sundays)
