Bevmo is a good store, but last visit was one of the visits is one you are wondering if this is the right store for liquor. Nobody here to really help you get what you need. And when they do come to assist you, you feel like you are bothering them on their nap time. Selection is enormous. I was even able to find here a bottle I couldn't find at many other liquor stores. But the problem: I needed to find it on my own. read more

BevMo! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Encino, California

First of all this is not a nice location. Both the location and the shopping plaza are in desperate need of update. The store itself still looks like they recently had a flood or something as its always in a strange state. Staff here are not the most friendly or helpful. read more

I love going to BevMo! Maybe it's the alcoholic in me speaking, but I feel like a kid in a candy store every time I step in. I'm a huge fan of sour beers and boozy kombucha so I'm a happy camper since they have a wide range of them. What stands out the most is their customer service. Staff members have always been very helpful in terms of assisting me in finding the beverage I need or asking if I need help with my bags. Parking is ample as well! read more

One of the bigger BevMo locations that I've been too. I had a birthday coupon for this month, so I decided to stock up on some drinks. They have a larger selection of wine, a few aisles in the back for beer and a couple of liquor aisles. They have labels on some of the beers made from local breweries such as angel city and Coronado brewing. The angel city pilsner is really good. I also found a chardonnay that I have been searching for forever! I had tried the BevMo in Van Nuys as well as cost plus to no avail but found it here. I was so excited, I got 2 bottles. They also had a cool St. Patrick's day display set up with Irish whiskey for seasonal purposes which was smart. The staff here is friendly and consistently asked me if I needed any help. I had a great experience here and would come back in the future for any alcohol needs. read more

BevMo! - They had all my favorites!!! :) - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Encino, California

Backstory: I used to shop here quite a bit but stopped because prices weren't great and wine selection can be weird. But I will still run in every few months if I know exactly what I want because I can zip in and zip out...except it never happens that way! Today, tried to zip in for Fog Head chardonnay. Not in the chill case as per usual. No customers so I ask the cashier where it's shelved. He is not familiar with the wine and confirms that I want "Frog Head". NO, Fog Head. This repeats. I do not have a speech impediment. Then he stands there waiting to spot another employee to ask for Frog Head. Gives young man key to bathroom. Supervisor comes over to cashier and gets pissed that young man wasn't carded. I say "Hey, how about helping a customer who is clearly over 21 and who wants to buy something?!" She gives me a perplexed look and turns to walk off to the bathroom. Finally, another clerk says "You want Frog Head?" My head is ready to explode. "JESUS CHRIST. IT'S FOG HEAD!" All this for two bottles of wine. read more

Great selection and customer service. They forgot an item in my order and they were very nice and very apologetic and gave me two of the items to make up for it. read more

Lots of parking for this plaza. Clean and tidy store but the selection just doesn't compare to total wine. Just a pit stop on the way to a party. Can't come empty handed. Staff was fine. read more

I called in looking for a specific type of beer and I was so excited that the person who answered said they had it. When I came in and looked for it, it happened to be the wrong beer. Same name, surprisingly, just spelled differently and from a different company. It was still German ale which was pretty cool since the beer that I was looking for German ale as well. I was pretty bummed that they didn't carry my beer but I was content that there was someone to help me look for it and I couldn't ask for me. Also, happy this BevMo carries Effen Vodka... Which is a total plus in my book. read more

One of the bigger locations. Good wine selection. Killer spirit selection...beer is impressive.... if you want something in they'll do they're best to get it in and go the extra mile. Beer & Wine Tastings on Fridays 4-7 or Saturday 2-5 sign up to get email reminders and tweet using #BevMoEncino read more

Hooray a new BEVMO! location right along Ventura Blvd. in Encino! This BEVMO! replaces the previously sad looking 99-cents Store. Plenty of parking at this location. I only wish they would jazz it up a bit more by playing some cool music and I wish they would have replaced the sad 99-cents store looking floors with a fresher/newer look. With that said, I like the spacious lay-out and lack of long lines. Cheers and welcome BEVMO! read more

BevMo! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Encino, California

This location is really organized and has good service as well. I usually don't go to BevMo but the staff was nice and the store had a lot of selection. Cashier Sarah was really nice and welcoming as well. Thank you to the team for managing a busy line. read more

I've been here a few times without experiencing any issues, but tonight's visit was disappointing and awkward... First, the positives. This BevMo is spacious, well-stocked, and has ample parking. The interior is clean and most of the employees are quite pleasant and helpful. Tonight, my boyfriend and I came by with a BevMo gift card. It was a gift from his friend, and he knew it had $25 on it. We picked up three wine bottles and headed over to the cashiers. Mind you -- there's only one open register. The cashier asked for his phone number. It didn't work. He had to look up his account number in an old email, and thankfully that worked. Red flag right there -- the system is faulty. The cashier rings up our items and gives him the total. He goes to use the BevMo gift card... Which the system promptly rejects. Doesn't recognize what kind of card it is. He tries it again. Doesn't work again. She says there's nothing she can do in regards to manually typing in the gift card number. Weird. She then goes to another register to see about checking the balance. The register freezes on her and doesn't work. She's forced to come back and figure it out at her own register. By now, there's 4 other patrons waiting in line and the other employees don't come over to help. Awkward. She presses a few buttons and says, "There's nothing on the card. Might explain why it's not working," and smiles. Okay... Maybe the friend didn't properly activate the gift card... We then try to use a prepaid Visa card. Guess what -- doesn't work. At this point, we're annoyed and confused. We use a regular credit card and decide we'll look up the balance on the BevMo site later. The cashier was no help and we just wanted to go. Well, what do you know, the BevMo site shows our card balance is indeed $25. No idea if the cashier wasn't running the card correctly or if the system is just down, but not a great experience and just plain awkward. I come here out of convenience, but I'd absolutely consider visiting another location if it means functional equipment. read more

One BevMo is like any other, but this one stood out a bit more to me due to the customer service. When I pulled up, the parking lot was a ghost town. I was totally surprised since usually I'm fighting for a parking spot. When I walked in to the store, it was huge. Since it was so big, displays were spread about and made it seem sort of empty. Honestly, it made the store seem overwhelming. Such a big space with everything so far from each other. Totally made it seem more like a hassle to shop there or find anything. A young man was working when I came in. He was super sweet. As soon as I walked in he greeted me and asked if I needed help finding anything. I declined and walked directly to the vodka. Once I chose mine and walked to the register, he was there starting friendly conversation. He even made some recommendations on other brands I should try in the future. Very nice touch! I have never had anyone do that before when I shopped at a BevMo. He assisted me with signing up for a rewards card and still managed to greet every other person that walked through the door. If I'm ever in the area again, I will absolutely use this BevMo for my alcohol needs. read more

Tyler is by far the best employee at bevmo. Helped us pick out a good tequila called Altos read more

BevMo! - #tylercombo - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Encino, California

This Bev Mo is so disorganized. Was carded for salsa last week, yes I was only buying salsa. The manager said it is illegal to be in the store if you're not 21. I find this very hard to believe since they sell a lot of food. Got to my car and noticed the salsa was expired like it has been many times in the past so I went in and the manager returned my money. Yesterday, I stopped in to get a chilled bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine, not 1 bottle to be found in the refrigerated section. On my way out I noticed that the fresh salsa I love was on the refrigerated shelf so thought they must have gotten a new shipment in but no, it was still all the expired salsas from 5 days earlier. The manager I had spoken with and returned the salsa to just left the expired salsa on the shelf to be sold. Unbelievable. read more

I always wondered why this locator BevMo was always empty . Even though I have shopped here a few times before., today I really needed some questions answered regarding their selection. Not only did I feel like I was burdening the person helping me but when I asked if there was other locations that carry the item I was looking for the associate was not willing to search inventory nor make any effort to help me with any of my concerns. The manager was on his phone and from my opinion wasn't concerned about customers or customer service either. I'm definitely not going back to this location and from the looks of it doesn't look like this location will last for too long read more

This location is terrible. Expired beer, terrible selection, rude employees. Half the shelves are empty and all of their beer is months old. Don't go here. read more

This 5 star review is for Jose! He was knowledgeable and considerate! I was picking up for a delivery and my client requested varies bottles of wine. Jose was able to select and give decent recommendation to my client. He also helped picked out cheese/salami platters, check up on prices, even helped me carry the heavy bottles to my car! It was everything from A-Z. Two thumbs up for Jose! I wanted to write a bevmo.com survey for him, but I didn't know I had to save the receipt. I'll call the store the next day. I am very grateful for Jose's professional gestures. read more

Yippeyyy BEV MO next to my house!! I love Bev Mo... Enjoy every visit at any location... It's great that they've opened one at this place because the closest one is in Van Nuys....... read more

Not good. In the process of checking out the cashier mentioned to a coworker that she was suffering from a horrible cold. This as she was handling my credit card and had already handled all of the drinks we were buying. People: if you deal with the public and are sick, don't go to work! Management: Get a clue! read more

Crown Royal released their new whiskey drink, "Maple Finished". I've been searching most of the day and most places did not have it. I tried BevMo in Van Nuys, but they didn't have it. So, the Van Nuys location directed me to BevMo Encino! (Love the Rhyme) Sorry, Yelpers! I have been out of the Yelp Reviews for awhile and I hope to continue writing since I've got a busy life outside of Yelp. This BevMo is located on the north side of Ventura Blvd. The BevMo parking lot is pretty big, but since it was 11am, I was the only one buying so early. Early is very relative. I walked in and saw alcohol heaven. Well, most places that carry alcohol is heaven or a haven. I spoke with the one of the BevMo employees to help me find the Crown Royal Maple Finished Whiskey. I was assisted by the lovely, Deb. She helped me get two Crown Royal Maple Finished ($24.99 regular/$22.99 ClubBev Discount) out of the glass case with the other Crown Royal Brands. She was a doll helping me and giving me advice on other drinks. She had suggested Junior Johnson's CatDaddy Moonshine ($21.99 regular/$18.99 ClubBev). I have never had moonshine, but after writing this review, I might disappear and be Andy Griffith's Otis. Deb rang my order up to a total of $70.82. She also told me that this location does Beer Tasting ($1) on Friday's from 4pm to 7pm and Wine Tasting ($2) from 1pm to 5pm. I told her that I'll be coming back more often. She even said that their location is better than Van Nuys...lol. Well, I will believe her since she suggested a lot of items for me on my first visit. Overall, I am looking forward to coming back and purchasing more. I am just trying to find my drink just like the Dos Equis Guy. Yelp is my Review, My Story, and My Life. It's time to share it. read more

Is it even possible to write a poor review for what is essentially a giant liquor/wine/spirits warehouse?! I think not. BevMo! is yet another prime example of what is missing on the East coast... and why I'm glad I made the migration across the country. The staff here is always nice, and usually helpful (though they sometimes have just as much trouble finding things as you do). What I like most about BevMo!, however, is that they not only sell alcohol, but also alcohol accessories, mixers and snacks. I've also heard they have wine & beer tastings on Fridays, though I haven't had the chance to check it out yet. The prices are pretty average, and the store is clean. What more could you want? read more

I like this Bevmo although it's not my usual Bevmo. It's a good thing these places aren't too far apart for my adult beverage needs. This place always seems to have a wine/beer tasting going on when I walk in...this is a good thing :) They are pretty nice at this location and it has a great and easy to navigate floor plan. read more

If you love alcohol this is the best place to buy. Awesome customer service, Great prices! read more

They have everything. Seriously almost everything. Have been coming here since forever, and must say that I always find what I need. Even if someone tells me that he is looking for a specific bottle, supposedly hard to find I still can find t here. About pricing again, could do better. But not if it means lower the selection. read more

Can you believe I had never ever been to a BevMo before in my life?! Yeap, it's true! So anyhow, on Valentine's day I wanted a good wine to indulge with and so I stopped by to check them out. I went in and was a bit overwhelmed w/ all the options, lol, so much so that I was about to walk right out. "Oh what the heck, I thought. Let's see what they have". The staff was friendly and helpful, one of the guys broke it down for me by sections so that definitely made it a whole lot easier. "Wow, I could spend hours here!" I thought, completely mesmerized. I took my time looking at all the wines and champagne they had and was undecided about what to get until I found Chocolate Shop The Chocolate Lover's Wine. Never tried it before so it was either gonna be a hit or miss but since I love red wine and dark chocolate, having both in a wine seemed like perfection to me, lol. Well, I am now IN LOVE with this wine! I don't like sweet wines, I tend to favor reds or pinot grigio for white, so I was scared that this wine would be too sweet but to my surprise, it wasn't! Red wines tend to be strong and just a tad bit bitter at times but this wine is smooth, still strong as a red wine should be, and perfectly infused with the dark chocolate to offset that 'bitter' taste. YUUUUUMMMMS! So if you love red wine and dark chocolate like I do, you have to try this wine! Bottoms up! ;) read more

Greeted from across the store with "we close at 9:00...you've got 10 minutes"! To which I promptly replied "no problem I'm sure there's another liquor store that would welcome me for business" and I walked right out! And...I was in luck...there's a liquor story right on the corner!!! Someone needs to teach this staff that impressions are made in the first few seconds. My impression of this place is quite negative at the moment. Hope this helps... read more

Alright BevMo!! Your staff is fantastic! Thank you for being so awesome on the last minute keg!! The process was soo smooth and everyone was soo helpful! Keep in mind you need atleast 3 days if you want a specific keg!! read more

Great selection of Wine and Spirits. It's obviously not as big as Total Wine and More, but here, you can find what you want quickly and easily and get out. And since it's not a GIANT warehouse, you can browse without feeling too overwhelmed. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the friendly staff. It's nice walking into a store with personality where people smile at you and actually talk to you like a human being. read more

I gotta tell you guys something, I'm very impressed with Julian. His customer service is impeccable courteous professional kind. I always shop at the store and I'm very satisfied with his customer service. read more

I have to begin by saying I like their selection of drinks. My husband loves this place and comes here weekly. The service has always been great as the staff is very knowledgeable. However, the price that is on display is not what they end up charging you so pay attention. There is always ample parking and the hours are also great! Cheers! read more

Great place amazing selection of good quality liqueur of any type, I personally love their tequila selection it is good has something for any price range. Most of the crew is experienced and helpful especially the store managers They will match prices so you don't need to drive to costco or any other place for good prices Will recommend to anyone read more

Very good selection of wines. Great location near Ventura blv . Most choices of drinks

After buying wine for 150 dollars, one bottle was bad. I returned it to find out, that even with a BevMo customer card I can't without a receipt. I told the manager that she just lost a customer. Her response: THAT IS OK!!!!!!! BevMo shame on you! read more

I came to BevMo to ask if I can use the restroom since the Dollar Store restroom wasn't working, and before going to the restroom I asked the worker if I can use the restroom she quickly said "Are you going to buy something?" I responded with no because i'm certainly pregnant and I can't be buying wine or whatever you guys sell. Her response was "no because you're not buying anything". Who denies someone the restroom? Wtf especially to a pregnant women? read more

I have been coming to this location for about 10 yrs and sad to say that will never return again due to my experience yesterday. I had purchased a wine that tasted awful, so I did bring the two unopened bottles back to the store. In the past, it has never been a problem to exchange. I went on to select a few more bottles, taking advantage of their 5 cent sale. There was only one register open (on a Friday evening) and few people waiting. The manager Eddie B. turns up, opens a second register without offering not only a "thanks for waiting", or a smile but directing everyone to "stay where they are", meaning one line, and he will call the next one. It's my turn, and I present my receipt for the two bottles to return and put the new (10 bottles) on the counter. He tells me he can't take the bad wine back, because it has been more than 7 days after I purchased it. I politely explain that I read the bottom of the receipt and it only states that "returns made within & days with a valid receipt will be refunded to the original form of payment", and I wasn't asking for that. Also pointing out, that this has never been the case in the past asking if this was a new policy. The answer was "No, it has always been the policy, plus I am the one authorizing all returns and I have been here for a year, so I know this has always been the case". I calmly explained that this doesn't make sense to me. How are you expected to taste everything you purchase within 7 days in order to find out if it is good. Especially wine, for many reasons I don't have to describe. He looked at me and my 10 bottles and said " Well, since you are over purchasing, none of those will be refundable". He proceeded to send me to the ABC website to check the California law. He stop short of giving me the AA phone number. I was in lost of words! Over purchasing?! The cockiness of this guy is what did it. I have been a loyal customer for so many years and never felt so unappreciated and disrespected. I ended up trashing the two bottles in the bin in front of the store. It was never about the money. Horrible customer service! There are many choices for wine shops and BevMo will not be mine EVER! read more

They Surprisingly have a pretty good craft beer selection. The store feels a bit like a warehouse instead of a store but the cheap prices will definitely have me coming back. read more

June 30, 2018 2pm Male rep would not accept a return of an empty keg at the Encino store. It was purchased at the Van Nuys store. Contacted VN store Mgr who said they should accept it with the attached label/purchase validation from the VN store. He offered to call Encino to explain. Th Encino rep was insistent they would not handle this transaction. Extremely POOR customer service. Bevmo needs to look at the quality of people in Encino. VN has always been extremely helpful. read more

The checker, Ally, refused to pull her mask over her nose, covering only her mouth and then stood there and argued about it. How many people did she infect? The manager came over after I told her to call him and then she proceeded to berate me while other masked customers observed this fiasco. She invented a story about she was adjusting her mask, which I assure you did not happen. She just pulled it lower on her mouth. Perhaps she could spend some time in the ICU to get through her supercilious rude, incompetent head. I want her contacts traced.....an absolute public health disaster! I am elderly and in the medical profession. read more

I love this store and stock up for all of my get togethers or gifts here. Not just because it is local but because the people here are always friendly and personable. The manager Mike, has always been helpful when I'm looking to try a smooth scotch or nice cab. Very few times have I come in and not found what I was looking for and on those rare occasions, the item is quickly ordered for me and arrives super fast. Prices are also comparable to other markets and never any issue with parking like at the Burbank location which is a complete nightmare. BevMo Encino is the only place I go for liquor. read more
