BevMo!

Not really sure what’s going on with this place but typically there is one register open even though there are 3 registers total. I often find myself waiting in line here for the single open register and watch other employees just wandering around the store, looking at the shelves of bottles. Perhaps they are «working» although I don’t really know what it is they do. Just seems like when there are 7 – 10 employees at the store at any given time, they should have more than 1 register open.
I don’t think that their prices are that much better than a neighborhood corner store so the only real draw here is the selection and the fact that they have a parking lot. But with the time you spend in line for the single open register, you could probably find parking on the street and stop by a mom ‘n pop corner store.

Can’t go wrong with BevMo. I prefer the Van Ness location (with it being more spacious, a larger selection, and less complicated garage), but the Geary location doesn’t disappoint when you need cheap and/​or more than your average corner store selection of booze.
The beer selection is a few aisles worth, along with a cooler in the back. If you’re not looking for anything too unusual, you’re sure to find it here. The liquor area follows it and seems to have all your basics, etc. The wine selection takes up the majority of the store, so you’re really in luck if that’s your poison of choice.
It’s not usually too busy in here, unless you’re close to a holiday, in which case prepared to wait in some long lines. Fortunately, the staff are all nice and get you in and out as quickly as possible.

This is a less-​good BevMo — the one on Van Ness is far superior — but it still has all the essentials including a great wine selection.
The ramp to the parking garage is abjectly terrifying — I wonder how many Zipcars that thing has eaten over the years…

I would avoid this racist Bev Mo! I had an encounter with the manager JD or something like that. I went in there looking for specific beverage. The manager asked if I needed any help. I told him what I was looking for and they didn’t have it. I proceed to leave. I’m stopped at the door by the manager JD and asked to look in a bag. I oblige I’m not a thief and I don’t have anything to hide. I asked why am I being stopped. He gives me some story about high school students stealing liquor from Gerorge Washington HS. I said what does that have to do with I’m a grown woman probably older than him and graduated from high school 20 years ago. He was extremely rude and nasty and I was livid and confronted him again. I walk out the store and he walks out pretending to do something and we have a stare down. This store should be shut down. You don’t treat potential customers like criminals.

HORRIBLE customer service.
I called in on Tuesday around 6:45 pm and put in an order for a keg for the upcoming Saturday. The person that I spoke to on the phone was helpful, and he mentioned that they didn’t have my keg in stock and that we would have to order it. Took down my information and mentioned that they would put in my order for me to pick up the keg by Saturday morning and if anything went wrong they would give me a call.
I called back Wednesday (next day) at around 7 pm and spoke to a different person and mentioned that I wanted to add a tub to my order and to confirm that the order will for sure be there by Saturday. This person I spoke to (I believe his name was Adam) mentioned that there was no order that was placed and he wasn’t sure why the person I spoke to the night before said they could place the order as they did all keg orders Monday.
So, this review of horrible customer service is for this second employee I spoke to — I asked him what were my other options and he said I may be able to get a keg they have in stock. I asked him to let me know what sizes and of what beers they do have in stock so that I can see if there were any that I would want. He told me he COULDN’T tell me what they had and I could just come in and take a look myself. I was sort of confused and didn’t understand why he couldn’t tell me. Mind you, I was ALREADY annoyed at the fact that my original order never went through because if i would have never called in the first place I would have showed up Saturday out of luck. So this frustrated me even more that he couldn’t tell me what they had. I mentioned to him that I didn’t live in that area and it wasn’t ideal for me to drive all the way over there just to see what they had in stock and just to «see» if there was anything that I liked. I asked him why he couldn’t tell me over the phone himself and his response was «because it’s the holidays and I’m busy». Regardless of whether or not it’s the holidays, I was a customer who already was screwed over and not only that, he could’ve taken my information down and called me back at a later time if anything. He was VERY unhelpful and very unprofessional seeing that he clearly did not care.
I ended up calling two other Bevmos in which BOTH of their employees were able to tell me what they had in stock.
Overall, I am completely dissatisfied with the customer service that I experienced today and hope that they try and take better care of their customers in the future.

Prior to the wedding, we came here to get our wedding booze. We were going to go to the one on Van Ness but decided we are more likely to find parking here. We got more than enough wines, beers, and whatever else for our big day. After the wedding, we were able to return the unused, unrefridgerated wines back to this store. It was convenient and painless. What was the most amazing part? The 5 cents sale. We really took advantage of that and researched on the wine that were on sale and got the varieties that we think will go with the food. I think it was pretty successful.

One star barely for the bad customer service. Asked a guy if they carried a certain brand of Vermouth and he only grudgingly looked it up. I purchased a couple of martini glasses — glass — and the check out clerk was going to just put them in the bottom of a bag containing my other purchases. When I asked her if she could individually wrap them, she said she didn’t have anything to do that but she could sell me another large shopping bag if I wanted it. So I left holding one of the glasses in my hand, never to return. Hint: spend some time watching the staff at your Van Ness store to find out what great customer service looks like. If you care that is.

Good prices and a broad inventory BUT terrible disorganization of wines!
As a long-​time customer at this location and someone who loves wines, I greatly appreciated the former organization of domestic and imported wines in separate sections and also very importantly by vineyard and varietal.
They have changed to some kind of loosely organized alpha system now, yet as a clerk told me, things are not necessarily in alpha order??? The last two times I visited, it was impossible to find the New Zealand wine I’d bought there for years. It took a clerk well over 5 minutes to find it after checking first to see if they had it in stock. The next time I never found the California wines I was searching for and couldn’t get a clerk to help before I ran out of time.
In summary, their inventory is a disorganized mess, which I was told was the result of a new manager’s policy. I haven’t shopped there since because it’s such a frustrating, time-​consuming, dissatisfying experience.

For the most part the staff are nice, not the most helpful but still very nice.
I have to say that I love taking advantage of their 5-​cent wine sales, especially now that we got a wedding coming up, and our alcohol is byo!
If you sign up for their emails (don’t worry, they don’t come in too often), you get discounts/​coupons every once in a while (my last one was $ 15 off $ 100). I ended up walking out with 8 mini champagne bottles, and 7 large wine bottles for $ 93. Great deal!
Bonus, there’s a parking lot around the side, on Stanyan, in the basement.

Oh BevMo!, why are you not everywhere. This place is like Target for alcohol. Huge selection, great prices, several convenient locations… I particularly like this Geary location as they have tons of underground parking. I stopped by this place to pick up some «Christmas cheer» for the holidays. They not only had the liquor I was looking for, it was reasonably priced and and marked off an extra $ 5 off per bottle if you join the (free) BevMo club. Score!
If you need to find some reasonably priced adult beverages, stop your nearest BevMo, you won’t be disappointed.

Major Customer Service Improvements needed at this location.
Very rude and slow cashiers. The waiting in the lines just to check out — will kill any buzz you get from buying any products here. «Hey, there is one line» «No all the ‘workers are working» and can’t come help check people out.“
So only one cashier — when there is a line of 15 – 17 people. Yet the store is full of employees. Very poor management or poor Standard Operating Procedures.
This place has good products — but needs help on the customer service and operations side.

Serious love hate relationship with this place. As a Bevmo card holder, your allegiance for booze shopping goes here first cuz we love our points. But with that being said, this place has terrible customer service and always long lines.
If you’re looking to pick up a nice bottle to pregame on, my recommendation is the Espolon tequila. Very smooth and only $ 20. Way worth your money as compared to Cuervo or god forgive Sauza.
However, the manager Karen will give you so much attitude even while you’re giving her money. Apparently she doesn’t know that the customer is always right. My advice, fire her, and hire someone who thanks their customers for their business.

Their products are laid out in a way that is easy to shop and to understand. Pricing is great and I can always find something fun /​interesting to try.
I usually come for beer and I have found some interesting new brands that I had never seen before and I almost always come away with something interesting or cool for $ 8 or less.
The cashiers and workers are always friendly and welcoming.
It is about 2 – 3 miles from my dad’s house but well worth the walk /​drive.

If I could give zero stars I would.
Lazy staff with a serious attitude. We spent over $ 1,500 on beer, wine and champagne for our wedding and all we got was a sour disposition and carelessness.
We had to special order three cases of champagne because they didn’t have it in stock and it was on sale. When you are buying 4 cases, $ 3 per bottle adds up. Anyhow, not only were they aloof and careless when I bought the product, they sold it when it arrived… not once, but twice!
I did the special order and he handed me a receipt, nothing noting I wasn’t taking the champagne home with me and it was a special order. When I asked for a copy of the order he rolled his eyes and said «If you want one»
I came in a week later to see the status since I live close by and he informs that they accidentally sold it. I was shocked at his nonchalant attitude because it was paid for and should not have been part of their inventory. I don’t know how BevMo works, but I have worked in retail for many years and I have never worked for a company that feeds paid for product in with sellable merchandise. I came in a week later… again sold… or so they thought…
Then as we were leaving, they discover they hadn’t sold it, they just hadn’t bothered to look and assumed they sold it.
In all the times i went there I saw people eating chips while ringing people or while talking to customers, sitting on the cash wrap, or paying more attention to the game on tv than the people in their store.
I will stick with Costco or the grocery store or go to the BevMo on Van Ness because they are much more friendly. I know they have a lot of annoying college students that hassle them but I was nice from start to finish so I don’t appreciate being treated like shit– especially when spending a lot of money

Jeff was really helpful. My fiancée and I came to buy wine for our wedding at the five cent sale. We made two trips: the first time we bought many options and had a taste testing party to see which we liked most. Jeff totally had a «wine conversation» with me and made many recommendations. At the tasting party we ended up liking most many of the wines he suggested.
We ended up buying $ 800 of wine at $ 7.20 /​bottle average cost. We enjoy good wine and want to make that a special part of our wedding, so we are pretty happy at how the BevMo 5 cent sale + Jeff’s advice worked out.

Do you ever think to yourself, «That’s it. No more. Fuck this cruel world, I hate everything.»
Not here.
Here, your vices come alive, with craft beers, kegs, wines, and cigars.
Apparently. the cigars are kept much better than the location in Colma.
They should tell you on the front door that parking is in the back though. 70 $ worth of a parking ticket later, I wish i had spent it on whiskey.
I was just trying to pick up a damn keg. Fucking parking meters.

Great customer service at this location! I’ve always had pleasant experiences at any BevMo location I’ve been to, this location however really stood out.
Stopped by here on Saturday to take advantage of the 5 cent wine sale. I remembered I’d received a $ 10 off coupon email, but once I pulled it up on my phone though, read that it was supposed to be printed out to redeem. ARGH! I asked someone who worked there if they could just scan my phone, she said no… but offered to print it for me if I forwarded the email to the store address! And on top of that since my phone was about to die, she offered to charge my phone while I shopped! Nice.
I was happy to find the wine I was looking for on sale AND in stock. So many times if you don’t get to the sale at the beginning of the event, they sell out of a lot of wines. They had plenty of 5 cent offerings :)
The store is clean and well organized. Oh, and there’s 1 hour free parking in the basement, so STOCK UP!

This bevmo has it all:
You want Beer/​ales? Bevmo has an amazing selection. I wanted Hitachino nest white ale… they got it… they even have the Hitachinio red rice ale. Many ciders, trapists, belgians… wow.
