Menlo Park store was closed for a feed months due to sales to minors!!! Kinda crazy since they always have cared me and I'm 56 But I'm happy they are back in business! It's so much bigger than Redwood City and on my way home!!! read more

Cashier with dark, curly hair was rude. Rolled her eyes and very dismissive when asked if they carried Pisco. Without even checking if they really did carry it, she told us no and to check Safeway. Spoiler alert: Bevmo has Pisco. We eventually found it the next aisle no thanks to the so called customer service associates read more

I wish I didn't have to write this review, but this was my first and definitely my last visit to this BevMo location on Saturday, 8/1 approx 1:45pm. The cashier, a woman with very short dark brown curly hair with a mask who I believe is named Amy, was extremely rude from the moment I asked for help. I asked if they had any more hazy IPA beers, and with a dismissive attitude she told me that whatever was in the fridge was all they had. I then asked if they had beer rotations and whether customers were allowed to go into the back to choose their own beer because other similar places like Total Wine provides this option. She responded with an attitude, saying, "You're not a worker, so no, you cannot go back there!" After that, I walked away because I didn't want to continue dealing with her. Thankfully, a male employee stepped in and provided the kind of customer service you would expect at a place like BevMo. He was polite, helpful, and immediately told me there were more hazy IPAs in the back aisle--something Amy never mentioned. I continued to browse other aisles because my sister asked for a Macallan and then I see the female cashier following me. Maybe she thought I stealing? If Amy is the employee I think she is, it's disappointing to see this isn't an isolated issue. Regardless, the employee who assisted me needs customer service training. Being dismissive, rude, and talking down to customers is unacceptable. One helpful employee saved the interaction, but it wasn't enough to change my overall experience. I won't be returning to this location. read more

The Cashier Amy , Extremely Rude !! Do better BevMo She ignored me twice ! and when she finally decided to ring my items up she pushed the items towards me ! I asked for a receipt and she had an attitude .BevMo you need to train your employee on customer service ! Extremely rude and unacceptable I will never come to this BevMo AGAIN ‼ read more

Service was terrible. The cashier Amy ignored us when we came in . I guess cause she was on her cellphone. When we put our purchases on the counter she snapped at us THREE TIMES that they weren't where she wanted them. Ignored us when we said thank you! I was in the customer service business for 30 plus years and know when I come across someone who really shouldn't be in it. I won't be back. read more

I live in Fremont, but this was the only BevMo around that had what I was looking for. They had a BOGO $0.05 which was a great deal and glad that they had these items in stock. I ordered online and pick up was extremely fast and hassle free which I appreciated. If you're looking for any extremely light drinks for lightweights like me, the Smirnoff ice neon pack is so good! The flavors are amazing and in most of them, you can't even taste the alcohol (the alcohol is extremely subtle, even less so than the standard Smirnoff ice flavors). My favorite is the peach lemonade one! read more

Great prices and the staff is quite familiar with the inventory and helping you make decisions on making a purchase

They wouldn't/couldn't accept my passport card as a valid ID. I recently lost my DL and only had that with me. Apparently this location had been shut down for selling to minors hence this finicky requirement that applies to this store only. I ordered online and they had no way to cancel my order/refund me on the spot. They had to contact customer service via email with no specific resolution, which was truly the most annoying part. So not only did I have to go somewhere else, it's unknown when I will get refunded. The sales person seemed nice enough and was apologetic but the whole trip ended up being a disaster. I usually shop at Total Wines due to their better pricing and larger selection but this BevMo was near another stop I had to make. Also the 375mL of Casamigos was on sale for $30.99 from $34.99 (it's $27.99 at Total Wines) and I needed this bottle specifically for a gift. Lesson learned, stick to Total Wines! read more

This place in a Menlo Park is just awful! I waited inline to pick my order for at least 20 mins at the only open checker while other store staff was walking all around me not showing a sign to be willing help or even asking to assist once! This style of not giving a crap about customers truly sucks BEVMO! read more

Drivers licenses being scanned in order to spend my money at your store? No! I'm NOT okay with this. I'll not enter another Bev Mo as long as this is mandatory. As a matter of fact, I'm licking Total Wine Stores more & more. That's who's getting my business. read more

This store is currently closed due to a suspended license. It was great while open, but looks like it'll be closed until November. read more

Wow! What an experience.......not! Got in at 8:30pm, they close at 9pm. Got my case of beer, presented a $100, at which time I was told cant accept it, we have cleared out our registers for the day. Really? I am in retail and we do that at close. Okay, I accept that, while I began taking my credit card out, the clerk asked me for my license. I presented it in my wallet behind a full plastic sheet it was kept in. I am sorry you must take it completely out of the wallet. Well, I cant without destroy my wallet, but you are more than happy to try to if you cant read it thru the window. No, I must have it out of the wallet and I cant do it for you. We were hit three months ago by ABC, and I politely said, you don't get hit by selling to a 70 year old man that doesn't look 25. I thanked them and walked out. Went to the competitor down the street. Not only got my case for $3 less, but the clerk did in fact look through the wallet window, AND, said no problem to a $100 bill. Sorry BevMo, wont be back. read more

What would a review for a liquor store as hardcore as BevMo sound like? Hardcore, hehe. Hmmm? Where do I begin? Theres a lot of glass in this store. Bottles stacked and layered. How does one not find what their looking for in here or at any BevMo for that matter? So much good stuff. But, it could be bad if you don't drink responsibly.. My assumption is that anyone reading a BevMo review must already know what a BevMo is all about. With that and the whole Menlo Park backdrop, it's going to be a very good evening. Enjoy the night. read more

See all

This is not against the staff at Bevmo Redwood City, this is about a company policy Bevmo instituted. I went in today to purchase Torani Italian syrup and some sparkling water, no alcohol whatsoever. The cashier IMMEDIATELY asked for my ID, my ID I said but why, he didn't explain, so I asked again, why? I'm 62 years old and I'm not even buying any alcohol? Then another employee stepped in and explained that there was an incident and it is now company policy to ask for everyone's ID, regardless of the purchase This is not good! It seems that Bevmo is providing Cover Our Own Ass Service instead of Customer Service. Nobody asks for this, not liquor stores, supermarkets, I mean nobody... All this because of one incident, one underage person who got away with buying some alcohol and now we are all subject to this nonsense, this is ridiculous and I will not be shopping there anymore. It's really too bad, the store is local to me but I guess I'll have to drive to the nearest Total Wine or Costco. Oh well, their loss...!!! read more

Walked in around closing. And then, I lost the back of my earring in this Bevmo and the staff clerk offered to sweep to find it for me. That to me is a win! Also BOGO for 5 cents on wine and $10 off $50 coupon is also a win to me! read more

BevMo now scans your drivers license, when you make a purchase. Checking ID is one thing but this is a major intrusion of privacy. So I'm shopping elsewhere read more

I think this Bevmo gets overlooked because of the location, which is actually a good thing if you're in search of rare whisky. Occasionally when Blanton's comes in, this location has it in stock and is less likely to cancel your order due to too many other people ordering. I also occasionally see some Henry McKennas in stock too. The f you're able to make the trek to Menlo Park to pick up your booze, it's certainly worth it. Price wise it's not really any different than other locations. It's definitely cheaper than a local liquor store that charges 2-3 times as much for high end liquor, but compared to a Total Wine and More, it's a hit and miss. Do remember to check your email for this $10 off $75 coupons to save yourself some money. The staff here is friendly in person and over the phone. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Poor customer service by the African American guy, he was rude with me but over attentive with other African American customer talking about everything exempt the help that he got me waiting for. Honestly what a bummer! read more

I have been to this location on several occasions. The store is always clean, well organized, and the staff is super friendly. This is definetly one of the smaller locations I've seen but they still carry an excellent variety of alcohol and wine for you to choose from. read more

I've purchased hundreds of cigars at BevMo. The manager in Menlo Park would not open the glass for me to select as I see fit to choose. Instead he stood over me with glove. Maybe he wanted to give me a prostate exam. Never buy cigars at BevMo. read more

My husband was shopping here and I asked to use the restroom. No public restrooms. So we left and shopped down the road at K&L wines. They have public restrooms and a great selection. read more

What BevMo giveth in selection, it taketh away in customer-friendliness. Packages are crammed so tightly together in steel shelves with no surrounding space that you need a crowbar to remove them. They replaced convenient and practical pass-through checkout lanes with tiny counters where the items the cashier has scanned can easily get mixed up with those they haven't, and you have to examine your receipt to make sure you weren't double-charged. I wrote and asked them to have some consideration for the customer experience, but senior management doesn't care about that. They just want to cram as much product as possible into every square inch of space, no matter how difficult and unpleasant it makes shopping there, and how unsure it leaves customers of their charges. read more

So irritated by their five cent sale on products priced at nearly 2x the competition's prices. Still have some decent values if you dig around. Just don't believe the sales hype. read more

Outstanding customer service! BevMo might be a big company, but this shop operates like a small, local business which is fantastic. They're fast and willing to go the extra mile for customers. I'm a big fan! read more

I love BEER and this place seems to have a larger selection than the other BevMos I normally shop at in Sunnyvale & Redwood City. The new store is in the old Chili's restaurant and the sun really pours in from the back. I hope they address that because the beers and harder alcohol selections might get skunked! Today's their Grand Opening here in Menlo Park. I wanted to check out all the hype, but I got off work a little late. The guy at the register (who kept calling me bro) said the vendor girls were pretty hot. ;-) I saw a couple of tasting tables, appetizers, and plenty of "suits" overly greeting the customers. The cigar humidor section was tiny! Anyways, the place is clean, organized, and stocks plenty of booze for everyone! Enjoy... PS The parking is really tight up front and...STOP calling me bro...BRO!!! read more

Unfortunately I share in the reviews of the African American man at the register. UNBELIEVABLY rude and even aggressive. Asked a simple question about a sale item and somehow that set him off. He went into a tirade telling me that I should have "read the signs" (there were NO signs, which is why I was asking) or I should have "known." Such a crazy weird experience that I will never go back to this BevMo. read more

I went to this store today to buy a bottle of passion fruit syrup. A Russian woman checks me out, as she has several times in the past.. She's the last person you'd want to accommodate your customers. She never says "hello," never says "thank you," and never smiles. She makes it obvious that she doesn't like you, probably doesn't like anyone. But I've always said "hello" and "thank you" to her anyway, figuring she had a tough life. When I get home, I notice I'd accidentally grabbed a bottle of pineapple syrup, so I drive back to the store. The checkout line is long because two of the three clerks have something more important to do than serve customers at the other register. I approach the woman who'd checked me out, tell her I'd grabbed the wrong bottle, and ask her if I can exchange it for the right one. She tells me I have to wait in line and deal with a cashier again. I explain that both syrups are of the same brand and have the same price. She gets tough with me and tells me "It's not our fault. It's your fault, and you have to wait in line." I tell her they must have hired her for her personality, make the exchange myself, bypass the line and just walk out. They've lost my business. Bevmo should take a lesson in customer-service from Trader Joe's. read more

The African American man who working in the store was not nice. Always has poor service.

African American man in the register was rude. As I am unlocking my phone to do Apple Pay he goes like "come on hurry up" all of it because one of his frequent customers had a question about something and he wanted to kiss his ass :/ read more

I'm not the hugest fan of BevMo in general... In fact, I'd really like it if there were mo' places I could get mo' bevs for mo' discounts! This one is nice enough, though certainly not the biggest. We got some decent pinot grigio here for a good price, especially since the nickel wine sale was going on! Just a note about the nickel wine sale... You have to buy two of the exact same bottles of wine to get the second one for a nickel. Not all it's cracked up to be. Womp womp. read more

I am a wine lover, and they have a lot of wines in stock, especially from California. While there's the occasional $6 Sutter Home or $60 Duckhorn, most of their stuff tends to concentrate in the $10-30/bottle range. I take advantage of their 5-cent wine sale often, which is basically a buy one, get one free. Although the nominal price is somewhat marked up, the price after the 5-cent deal is still an effective discount of about 20-30%. The way their store is set up, the wines on sale are in the middle, the rest of the wines (some of which may also be on sale) are on the left, food is at the back, beer and spirits are on the right, and glassware is at the far right. On their left aisles, they start with the roses and lightest whites (sauvignon blanc) and work their way through chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot, etc., eventually reaching cabernet sauvignon. Most of these wines tend to be from California. Then come the countries, with Italy, France, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. At the very left there is port, dessert wines, champagne, wine from Germany, and box wine. read more

Quiet BevMo, decent selection. It's five stars for the staff. All of them have been particularly kind and helpful, even on their first day! Brooke is my super homie. read more

Ordered online and went to pick up today (during shelter in place) - the staff were doing an amazing job. They had an orderly system to get everyone's names and bring their orders outside. They were incredibly nice to an older gentleman who didn't know how to order online - they worked to understand his order and bring it out to him. Great experience under tough circumstances. Thanks. read more

I had such a rock star experience with this Bevmo! One of the sales associates Emma was incredible. I was on the hunt for Blanton's Bourbon, which if you're familiar with it, is nearly impossible to find. I got a text alert that Bevmo had it back in stock, hooray!, so I went on the web site and ordered a bottle within minutes. There I was, so smug thinking I'd found a bottle of this rare bourbon. The next morning, I got an email from someone at the store saying my order was canceled because the bottle had sold to someone else. Ahh! Help! I wrote back pleading for assistance. Emma replied that she would help me. And that she did! She went out of her way to pick up a bottle from a different Bevmo in the early morning before work, brought it to the Menlo Park store, and hid it for me so that no one else could buy it. When I got to the store, Emma knew exactly who I was and hand carried out this precious bourbon to register. I mean, that kind of customer service is hard to find. Emma didn't have to do that for me, but she was committed to making things right. That's worth paying for. Go Emma! read more

Apple Pay only works at some of the terminals. They've known about the issue for many months (with various employees acknowledging it), but of course they haven't bothered fixing it. Otherwise, the prices are fine. The stocking for Beer is awkward (by style, not brand), which sounds like a good idea, but in reality is terrible. Stocking can be hit/miss. edit: Employee gave me a bunch of attitude today over me not wanting to use the broken terminal on the right side. "They're all the same." Um, no sir. And don't give me shit about it. I ended up walking out, since he wouldn't use another terminal (all other 3 terminals work fine with Apple Pay). Sure, I could have just paid cash, but this guy was being a total jerk. read more

If you are looking to host a large party and you know the guests are beer drinkers, purchase the large keg! I recently had my baby shower in Menlo Park, and wanted to purchase a keg for the event. I walked in, inquired about the keg, and was led to the back of the warehouse, where Bevmo keeps an assortment of beer and different sized kegs. We were able to select our keg size and beer after letting the employee know we wanted Modelo Especial, and luckily, they had it in stock. Even if they don't, they will have it delivered to your local store with at least 4 days in advance. You could pre-purchase the keg or pay the day of. Since we pre-purchased the keg, I would recommend this option given that it makes the process a lot faster. You will need a DL, complete a permit, purchase the keg, rent the spout, rent the bucket, if needed, and purchase some ice to keep the keg nice and cold. Eventually a refundable deposit of $50 is needed. Overall my satisfaction with the experience was excellent! From the customer service until drop off of the keg. Guests were able to enjoy at least 3 drinks where only about half of the guests partook in drinking beer with a total guest count of 80 people. I will definitely purchase all my keg needs again in the near future from Bevmo. read more

THANK YOU SO MUCH JASON. So my husband and I going to have a big party and we had a huge order. The number of bottles that we wanted wasn't available at the store and Jason went to other beVmo stores and got the right numbers even though it's not his responsibility. He called us a few times to make sure we have everything that we needed. He took pictures that we asked for and send it to us. His customer service is BEYOND GREAT. We had a better offer somewhere else but just because of his service we placed our big order at Bevmo. From now on we will only be going to place our orders ONLY AT THIS LOCATION. Even though we never met him, we love him. Such a caring and polite person. We don't know how to say thank you to him. U rock Jason if we could give you 10000000 stars we would. You did a lot and we appreciate all your help. People like you are the best for business and our stressful society and we hope someday someone just like you going to make your day like the way that you did to us. NEVER SEEN SUCH A CUSTOMER SERVICE ANYWHERE NOT EVEN AT NORDSTROM. read more

Looking to buy wine in bulk and was having a hard time picking out a white and red. I ended up asking for help from their wine guy. Even though I didn't purchase anything from them, I was grateful for the employees time and patience with me in helping me choose two wines. They have their $0.05 sale going on which does help, especially if you are looking to buy in bulk. The only thing is that I realized, is whatever wine I asked for his recommendation, he tended to choose the most expensive wine. read more

I had a terrible experience here today ... at first I was over charged for my Buy One Get one for 50 cents bottles ... the guy at the counter was asking me about ice wine and somehow never asked for my phone number. Note - the credit card machine does not show the total amount so I didn't even know how much they charged me. On my way home I realized that I was never asked for my club BevMo number so I went backed as I knew I was overcharged $100. Now I was given the discounts for the Buy One Get one for 50 cents bottles but charged twice for an ice wine bottle. I noticed this on coming home and they credited the $30 on the phone but I'm just surprised at the unprofessionalism of all working at this store. My first such experience at a BevMo and I hope this review helps the manager of this store be aware of the level of unprofessionalism happening here ... and if there's anyone else being overcharged I hope they are aware that this is a recurring event at this store ... read more
