This is a mighty fine store. If you enjoy having money in your wallet and booze in your belly they I would highly recommend hitting this place up. You may be like me and usually make your beer purchases a day after you run out and usually for immediate consumption. This results in us limiting our beer shopping to the coolers, but I highly suggest you take a pro-active approach and wander around the warm shelves and pick yourself up some unique beers... I'm not telling you not to get that 30 pack of ice cold bud light so that you can enjoy it while watching the game, but get a 6'er of some belgian ale to stash away in the fridge. There is half of the store that is dedicated some type of fermented grape juice I believe it is called "wine"... maybe I will wonder over there and ask what that is all about. read more

Great service as usual. I come here to stock up on Guinness and Jameson. Sometimes I need to buy gifts and they are always helpful. I like the selection of cheeses and crackers too. It's humorous to run into people you know while pushing a cart full of liquor around the store. I also enjoy the fact that they have actual "help" buttons located in the aisles for people who can't find their alcohol solo. read more

BevMo! - Oh look at they ordered more and put it by the door so it only took me a minute to make my purchase :-) - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - La Mesa, California

I want to motorboat Bevmo!! I love this store too much. Yes, you might find a $1 cheaper price at some grocery store for an on sale item, but for everyday prices and a selection you should'nt really even dream about, this is the spot! These guys know it all AND what it'll do to you. Not often mentioned is their humidor. A good standard selection of smokes- not too many exotics, but once again decent prices. Where else in town will you find a James Gang Zin for under $25 and Kettle one 1.75 for $32? I'd better call in sick for work tomorrow.... read more

This is my favorite BevMo-this is the Original Gangsta of S.D. BevMo's for me too. It's been around forever, I remember using a fake ID when I was 16 here. They never disappoint. Good service, good selection, and good location. They carry some excellent beers all the time and almost never run out: Primo lager; Dixie Blackened Voodoo, to name a few. In the humidor: get an Onyx cigar, you won't be disappointed. A great BevMo. read more

Recently came here to pick up a bottle of wine that I had tried at a restaurant. Not many people working at the time (I came at around 5pm on a Wednesday), so there was limited staff to help me. The wine I was looking for was a Spanish Malbec-Cab blend, so I wasn't sure necessarily if it would be in the Spanish section or Blends section. After about 10 minutes of looking, a girl finally came over and asked if I needed help. I told her I had found it on their website (she assumed I just looked in the general San Diego stock instead of the La Mesa stock - I'm aware that La Mesa is its own city thank you), and she pointed me in the right direction. I went to the checkout counter and the guy could not have had a more monotone voice. He said all the things that you would normally hear someone with good customer service say, but in the most deadpan voice imaginable. It was almost funny. Clearly he's been trained to say the right things, but I guess you can't train excitement. All in all, I may just place an order online to have it delivered as opposed to talking to underwhelmed individuals. Customer service is something that makes your business make an impression, and your impression is sad, BevMo. read more

When I went to BevMo La Mesa, Marlon was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful when it came to picking out wines and answering questions. Great experience and customer service from him. I'll be back for sure.. read more

We are used to hitting up the Mission Valley location which i give 4 stars to. This place is way bigger, but I am dinging them a star for two reasons. I've been here twice on completely different weeks and both times there were out of the regular size bottles of Moet. They have the mini bottles and the rose, but no regular bottles. Also the employees here just don't quite match up to the Mission Valley peeps. The Mission Valley team comes off as a group of people passionate about these delicious beverages. The La Mesa team, although friendly just seem like this was the place that hired them. That being said though it's still a rockin' location and as BevMo lovers I am sure we will be back! read more

I have to add another 5 stars for BevMo. We went in on Sunday and bought 3 cases of wine on the nickel sale and then as an afterthought picked up a bottle of vodka that we just needed for bar. Then on Wednesday evening we noticed that we walked out without the vodka so I went back to get a bottle because we did still need it and figured it wouldn't hurt to see if maybe somebody had set it aside for us. They didn't but the manager went ahead and beleived my story and gave me a bottle of vodka. Now how many liquor stores would ever do that... read more

Great selection, obnoxious staff. I understand that at a liquor store you need to be careful about selling alcohol to people who are underage, so obviously I have no problem producing an ID when I get to the counter. What's unreasonable is that every time I go in every employee asks me my age while I'm walking around (usually the same employee will ask more than once), then I get asked again at the counter, and then after that they'll card me. Since anyone could lie about their age until it's time to get carded, all of the asking is useless. All his policy does is annoy people like me who are in their early twenties and look on the edge of being the minimum age. In addition to that, the staff will constantly hover around me asking if I need help - and when I say no they linger anyway. And on the occasion that I actually do need help, the staff is usually rude. The only reason I keep coming back is that they have a good selection that I usually can't find elsewhere. But if I can ever find an item at another store, chances are I'll go there instead of going to bevmo. read more

As someone who likes specially beers this place is a small slice of heaven for me. My buddy and me go here every weekend to pick up about 3 beers we have never tried and drink them on Saturday night after the kids are asleep. We have done this for years, and could go on years more without ever having to buy the same one twice. Of course we buy our favorites from here as well since that is the point of trying so many. read more

Fun place with great customer service. Get your Party On! I always wonder what kind of party's people that work there have and if there all buzzed? read more

Hmm I'm not sure if I've reviewed a store before. Well I love this place. I have always experienced great service here. The selection is Great and they even have a great selection of aged liquors. A wonderful wine selection of all prices. They also have all the accessories you would need to make mixed drinks,great cocktails or the glass to pour your beer into. They have a great selection of cheeses and crackers and snacks to pair with your drinks. They have many gift items and even gift bags that way you could stop there and pick up a gift. Really I guess you could call it one stop shopping. One example though of great service was one time when I was going to buy a 30 year scotch for a friend and one of the employees practically ripped open all the gift bags trying to find one that would fit the box with the scotch. None of them fit and I felt bad that he ripped open all the bags but he was very willing to help me. Whenever I have needed something or had a question, the employees have always been there ready to help. I've never had to wait in long lines and I always readily find a parking spot. Sometimes I can find better sales elsewhere on beer and Liquor but they have such a great selection and a good amount of craft brews that I don't mind paying a little extra. read more

Pretty large selection ! I was even able to find one of my favorite champagne, Billcart Salmon Rose', which is not that common ! You can also check online if the booze you are looking for is available at your chosen location read more

the prices are average, probably around the same as CVS with the pharmacy card but definitely not cheaper then costco! I personally like the mission valley location better then this! The service is alright but pretty low compared to mission valley location, the older man who helped me at the cognac seemed like he didn't even wanna help me, didn't smile or greet or anything & he just opened the cage and looked at me like "what do you want" without actually saying ANYTHING makes me feel a little uncomfortable to be honest. I don't know if it's because i look young or what but geez. I always try to stay away from east county lol but i just happen to be in the area. read more

Did you hear. Bevmo takes your Drivers License and swipes it to verify your age unless your like 80 years old then they won't. Also they Card EVERYONE you are with when you are shopping. I was 21 27 years ago. I dont mind being carded but scanning my License is invasive. What happens when someone Hacks into their computer system and gets all this info. This is why I no longer shop here. read more

My go-to place for great service. You can buy liquor at any grocery store but if you truly need great beer and wine selections and fine liquor these people know their business. Rows and rows of micro brews already rated as well as wine so you know what you are getting. read more

I'm a fan of any place that sells some good, hard to find liquor & even better, some micro brews. The whole staff was really helpful and attentive and made sure all my questions were answered- I liked that. I cam here during the 5 cent wine sale and was HIGHLY impressed on the selection they had on sale. By no means were only the shitty wines on sale, but they definitely had some good ones out there. The highlight I found was the Racer 5 twelve pack! read more

This hands down is one of my favorite places (That didn't make me sound like an alcoholic..) Reason why I'm not giving it a 5 is because they still don't carry a lot of drinks I would like to try but still a great selection. Also I would never think that a place like this would have top of the line customer service. Everyone looks so young so it's just shocking, but still cool. read more

This place is an adult playground....Every liquor you can imagine can be found here... I love shopping here, I would LOVE to drop $1000 here... god, I would buy sooooo much stuff. they have cool cheeses and snacks tooo.. The root beer and soda section is off the chain too, for all you non alchy's out there.... If you like drinking youll love bevmo. read more

Consistently the best mix of low prices, good quality and great service. If you don't know what you're looking for and don't want to get ripped off, this should be your only stop. Take advantage of the 5 cent sales to stock up on your wine. If something tastes awful take the bottle back for store credit. I don't know you could do this but they are pretty understanding. Also be sure to go to one of the tasting events. They're fun. read more

Place had a limited amount of cold beer and over priced. The store itself is large with plenty of options from snacks, wine, cheese, etc. everything usually over priced. Staff was friendly. Parking lot was empty so easy to get in an out, no one at the register when I was ready to pay. read more

There is a nice selection because of the size of this location but the customer service is absolutely terrible. I frequent the Eastlake location and will continue to make the Eastlake location my #1 choice. The customer service in La Mesa is non existent and in fact the associates are just RUDE. I would also like to state, instead of continuing yelling, rolling your eyes and shaking your head at paying customers for not standing in the designated "line starts here" maybe make it more visible so customers can actually see it when coming from the tequila, rum, gin aisles. read more

Decent location, and a huge selection of everything that you can drink. I'm not a huge fan of the customer service here. Most of the time it seems their employees do everything they can to ignore you. I've found in San Diego, especially for beer, you can find just as good if not a better selection at some of the independent places in town. But sometimes you just can't beat BevMo's prices, which is why I still go every so often. I was there a few days ago, and noticed they now have a selection of beers you can by by the bottle instead of the six pack, which I found to be quite cool, especially if you want to try a beer, but don't necessarily dedicate yourself to a six pack. read more

This company has the WORST policy when it comes to purchasing alcohol. First they card their customers if they look under 50 years old. And, not only do they card the person buying the alcohol but they card everyone in your party, even if they're not buying anything. Second, they seem to have forgotten the drinking age is still 21. Have we gone back in time to 17th century American where Puritans run the country? Third, instead of trusting their employees to do math, they make you take your ID out of your wallet and hand it to them where they proceed to scan it with their machine that displays your age in large bold numbers. They say it doesn't collect data but who knows if that's true. My business there is over. read more

My husband and I went to this store on March 6, 2021 @ 10:10am to pick up some of our favorite beer for St. Patrick's Day weekend. We were expecting a pleasant and enjoyable experience here and instead ended up being treated like dirt by Bryan. When we were proceeding to pay, the cashier named Bryan proceeded to rip open the case of beer and take all of the beer out of the case and scan each six pack that was in the case. Once he finished scanning our products he placed the beer back in the case, WITHOUT taping the case back up. My husband asked could he please tape the case back up and rather than being polite about it, Bryan gave us nothing but attitude, acting as though it was such an inconvenience for him to do that and taped the case half-assed incorrectly to where it fell apart as my husband lifted it off the counter and all the beer crashed onto the floor. Bryan didn't offer to get my husband get a new case, rather my husband had to get a new case which this entailed having to move eight six packs and another case to get to the one case of Smithwicks off the shelf. My husband and I were so shocked of the poor customer service that my husband asked to speak to a manager. Bryan stated that he was one of the managers. I am shocked to hear that someone so incompetent, rude, disrespectful could ever be a manager. Bryan needs to learn that being a good manager is about respecting the customer, assisting them in anything they need and most importantly treating their clients in the same way they would want to be treated. We will never return to this location again. Very disappointing. Bryan needs to go back into management training 101 and learn the basics of customer service. read more

Everything you need to punish that liver. I wish the marketing people could see the thousands of people switching radio stations in their cars when THOSE commercials play. read more

I went to the la mesa bevmo yesterday to buy a few bottles of wine for mothers day. I waited in a long line just to talk to the lady outside of the doorway and told me I have to make an online order. The lady told me I would have to wait for everyone in line to be done before she could have someone grab a bottle of wine. By the way the line is endless. People are constantly showing up. I couldn't believe she couldn't just grab me something. Especially during these times we are going through. Your better off going to Costco read more

I've been here a few times and it is my favorite BevMo of them all. The last few times I've came here were for wine only and a wine glass. They do have a great selection of wines, good prices, not the best, but OK prices. I do appreciate they're wine sale, buy one bottle and receive the second bottle for 5 cents. But, I rarely want two of the same bottle and I would much rather prefer to be able to grab a different bottle of wine for 5 cents. So, that really bums me out. The store is always kept clean, well stocked and the staff are knowledgeable. read more

This BevMo is close to my house that's why I started going here. The beer selection is pretty good, you're not gonna get the rarest selection but that's to be expected. Alot of people complain that the IPA's aren't refridgerated and I agree but they're here to make money, I think it's the comsumer's responsibility to know what they're buying. I've had good experiences here and have been treated rather pleasantly by the employees. read more

Not to sound like an alcoholic, but Bevmo is heaven! They always have cheaper prices than the grocery store, and obviously the selection is huge. Went here last night for some Jagermiester and imported beer, the young man who helped me was very helpful and polite, and even had a chilled bottle that he left at the check out stand for us while we got the beer. We ended up choosing a Belgian blonde ale, I forget the name. (last night was fun *wink*) Anyways, good prices, friendly staff, and booze, lots of booze. Consider me a fan read more

I love the 5 Cent sale! So many wines at this one, it was like 5 cent sale overload. We took home about 6 bottles. I opended one last night and the cork was bad. Kind of dissapointing to open your first bottle and have a jug of vinegar, but i brought it back today and exchanged it. I love the 5 cent sale! read more

SAVE $10 DEALS NOT HONORED. This Bev Mo took my online order for well over $75, which qualified for a $10 discount. Later they notified me by email it was ready to pick up. When I arrived to pick it up I was told several items were not available, which reduced my order below $75 and thus no $10 discount on the overpriced items in my order that were available. I'm done with Bev Mo. read more

Today my husband went to bev mo to buy a keg. He brought in a deposit keg. He was asked to fill out a registration form even though he had a deposit. Last weekend he went in and asked for a keg of "bud light", Which they didnt have..go figure, America's most popular beer. Anyways, a gentleman took his cell number and told that they get a delivery on Thursday and that he would call him..he never did. My husband called today (fri) and asked for a bud light and they told him they had one. He drove down there to get it. After a long wait, the same giant cashier asked him to fill out a form and asked for a drivers license. I thought he was getting a citation. After 20 mins. Of filling out paper work, he finally managed to get in line so he could pay for the keg. He was then told to fill out a club membership..are u kidding!?!?..more paper work! Im not even sure there was a choice! The giant salesman brought out the keg on a dolly. He started up a conversation with someone and meantime, my keg was sitting there. I reached for the dolly to roll it out to my truck. He bark out, no one touches his dolly and that it's "his dolly".. I filled out less paperwork when I bought my house. needless to say, I will never go back to this store, nor will I buy a keg from any Bev Mo location. read more

Good place to come since they have such a wide variety and plenty of pairing options(mixes). But for the average person its a better to save money and go to a grocery store or Costco. You would think that a place that is known for selling wine and spirits would be the best price and they really are not at all. I understand they have coupons but I drink to often to waste my time waiting for a coupon the then only matches the price of another store read more

This BevMo is huge and has an amazing selection. It's overwhelming. They have such a great selection of wines that I had no trouble picking out one for my dinner party. Large isles and they have lots of literature to inform you before you buy. The beer selection is also huge and the amount of Vodka they have is shocking. There is just a lot of liquor in BevMo. Plus, they are always helpful, and in a place with this many options, is almost a must. read more

I went to BevMo and the customer service at this location was amazing! The Manager Marlon was greeting people as they walked in and helped them in the right direction and answered many questions and advised me about the sale. I then was finding my self lost in the wine section and a nice employee saw me and answered many questions for me and advised me to some really amazing wines. The cashier's were also very nice & helpful. Needless to saw I left with a cart load of stuff and because of the customer service and knowledge of their products I will be back. Thank you read more

They have zima, now I can party like it's the 90s again and relive the greatest time in my life.

My experience with Bevmo has been less than stellar. I realized I needed to set up an account to order online. I realized I had an account but had no clue which of my two emails I had used to set up my account. I also didn't have the password. So I asked for a new password on both emails. Bevmo said I didn't have an account. So I tried to set up an account but now Bevmo says I have an account. Tried it a few more times and got tired of the circle jerk with me as the pivot man. Later they set me a email to update my account??!!. So I finally update the account and order. It asked if I want to pickup between 2:45 to 3:45 so I answered yes. When I get to the store the associate asked if I read the confirmation email. No I saw the confirmation number and thought I was set. "Oh those times are not any good right now. WTF, how hard is it to disable that function and say get your confirmation number and wait for a email on your pick up time. It's scary that an outfit this clueless can sell alcohol. I tried to buy from my local store but their distributors won't sell individual bottles due to COVID. So the owner has to buy a whole case and how many people buy Benedictine? So I'm left dealing with this clueless corporation FU read more

Like other BevMo's, a great selection. Love it when they have samples (of snacks or wine). Not as cheap as Costco but if you want it they most likely have it. This parking lot can be a pain to get in and out of - and even the entrance to the store is odd. Love the fact you can check stock online (though it's not always 100% accurate - if you are making a drive, best to call to verify). read more

Just entering the parking lot for BevMo makes my liver curl up into a fetal position and sob. And so I've spent more time recently going through their selection of sodas. You can easily find a dozen different root beers, most made with REAL SUGAR. Screw that corn syrup crap. Sugar satisfies. And yes, I can't leave without picking up a bottle of rum, or vodka, or some strange liqueur. Now, if they only carried El Senorio mezcal... read more
