BevMo! in Oakland on Embarcadero is where I get my Jamaican Rum! Cashiers and employees are helpful in assisting me on what to find! Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum is hard to find here, probably because a majority of Caribbean customers come through here. I found Wray and Nephew Silver Rum instead! Very rare find! read more

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

Interesting that I have never done a review on this location or the one in Reno??? And we go to the Reno location often. Quality/Quantity - Got a few cases of beer, as drinking the WHOLE day in a few wineries and breweries was not enough.... Also available - Spirits, liquor, wine, mixers, non alcoholic drinks, etc. Usually has everything we need. Good selection. Atmosphere - A block away from our Rosenblum winery, so very convenient for us. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 8, 9 or 10pm. See Yelp or website. Parking across the street with a security guard. Service - Good. Price - $27 for two 6 packs, a little expensive but we were partying, so I didn't really look at the prices, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1994 with your 166 locations. read more

I love the customer service top-notch level from Larnell Arm! Every time I come in, he is happy to help with that friendly smile and his knowledgeable advice! Thank you Larnell and everyone at the JackLondon BevMo! for doing a great job! read more

Shoutout to store manager Eric for helping me pick out a tequila bottle and showing me a bunch of different options, ended going with Clase Azul Reposado, really wish all retail experiences were this smooth and helpful! read more

horrible shady store! Ordered a bottle of Stagg at 9:43pm on 8/13 and got confirmation at 9:07 am on 8/14 that my order was ready for pickup. Then at 8:10am on 8/15 my order was cancelled! How is that even possible?! Someone had to pack the order and then mark it as ready so it should have been there. And the next day they just happened to be checking all of their fulfilled orders that are bagged and sealed and noticed that mine wasn't there anymore? Sounds to me like one of their employees saw there was a heavily allocated bottle that they wanted for themselves or for a friend, took it and cancelled the order. Edit: an associate named Eric reached out to me and made things right by locating another bottle of stagg for me. He and the people at bevmo went above and beyond to help me out read more

This might actually be the worst BevMo ever in terms of customer service. The store itself is OK and generally well stocked. Except for the cheese section, apparently, they sort of gave up on that a couple of years ago. The staff is so unhelpful, I just witnessed the checker berating a customer, because she neglected to ring up his last and final large item. She flat out said "it's not my job" to him - all while she was multitasking and chatting on her phone to her friend. Insane. I was afraid to go through her line but she was the only one there - she was nice enough to us. Clearly she was having a bad day and some drama happening on the other end of her cell phone. They also don't seem to have any baskets are carts, which is super annoying when you're shopping. Anyway, we go here because of the prices and selection but I wish there was another alternative. read more

Bevmo - my go to place for judgment free alcohol purchases in bulk. Tired of that friendly but annoying lady at Safeway bagging your groceries saying "back for more beer again?" in a shocked voice.... well, no need to deal with that come here were adult beverage enthusiasts unite. Very nice location convenient to many other popular points of interest. Store has variety - anything you could ever want as any bevmo - but this location happens to be larger than some. Its good to go into a store like this when you aren't running dangerously low on any alcohol at home - gives more time to browse and you don't have to focus on 'necessities.' I remember once at a friends house drinking something like a Guinnes but from Japan. Next time I'm around I'm sure a helpful person there will help me find what I'm looking for. read more

Very nice liquor store I like saeed good man than for evething I love liquor store and the best part

So I love this local BevMo because they have so many different options from wine to liquor and everything in between! They are even having there infamous 5 cent wine sale! This location is very convenient and the best part is we found out that just two months ago they turned into a grocery store! So now you can pick up a few grocery items along with your liquor! Jamie helped us out today and he was super nice! He informed us of there local delivery services where they deliver liquor up to 1am and all non alcoholic items until 3 am for only $1.95!! I mean that's a great deal!! They have a little flyer where you can sign up! I'm gonna give it a go! read more

I love this store! I stop by at least every other day to pick up one or two items that I forgot at the big store I shop at. They are very friendly, items are fully stocked. It feels like an old-fashioned local family store. read more

I went in today and had a coupon for $15 off of $100 purchase and when i got to the cashier I was immediately met with her attitude. I gave her my phone number that i knew with 100% certainty was my only number for my Bevmo account and she kept telling me it didnt work and thats when the explosion of her screaming at me, telling me my coupon was no good, even though the coupon sale started one day ago. I asked her to ask her manager to do something and she again started screaming at me that he wont do nothing. Well guess what? He did and i got my coupon price and as i was leaving, i advised her that i did in fact get my coupon price and i told her how sorry i was that she hates her job and then she about jumped over the counter at me. Never going back to this Bevmo and its sad cause its near where i live. Unlbelievable, the attitude. read more

This is a 1-star review for Bevmo, not GoPuff which resides inside Bevmo. In summary, the Bevmo staffs are incredibly lazy--making me do their job for them! I came to pick up a GoPuff order at the dedicated order pick-up station. Behind the cashier, there were at least 3 people hiding behind the partition talking loudly about their personal lives. In the meantime, there was a long line with only 1 person at the cashier. I called out to them for pick-up order assistance--I was ignored. A super tall guy was either avoiding eye contact or pretending to look at the cashier far behind me. I called out for the second time, ignored again. The third time, finally, the guy took notice and asked one of the female staffs for help. The lady told me to go get my order at the back with the double-red doors. Uhh no? I went to the back anyways and met a sign that stated along the lines, "Employees Only" behind the storage room. Apparently, the Bevmo staff told me to DO THEIR JOB that were paid to do! Normally Bevmo staff were supposed to grab the order for me while I'm waiting at the pick-up station. Luckily I found a GoPuff staff in the aisle to help me grab someone inside the storage room. A GoPuff lady was super welcome and friendly--a completely different vibe from Bevmo staff earlier! I felt that she saw me as a person, not just a typical customer. She made my day a lot better. Looking at the past reviews, it's very true that some Bevmo staffs here does NOT want to do their job. Rather, they want to have customers do the basic job for them. This is ridiculous. read more

Aww man, I had a good experience here. I was shopping for my friends 40th surprise birthday party. I wanted to buy a nice whiskey for us to sip on before dinner. It was nice that several customers offered me recommendations. And, the "bevologist" that helped me was super knowledgeable. He showed me several different options and seemed super patient every time I asked him a question. Even when he didn't know much about cigars he gave me a recommendation based on what customers always seem to purchase. This to me is excellent customer service - when you don't know the answer to a question you ensure that you find out the answer and/or you provide another helpful resource. You don't just say, "I'm not sure..." or "I don't know..." The cashier was also very kind. He wasn't in a stinky mood and when he wasn't sure about something he asked for help and apologized for any inconvenience. Parking was convenient - it's just across the street (they have a BevMo lot). I purchased $70 worth of stuff. Way more money than I intended on spending. I got a gift set of whiskey for $20, two cigars for $11 each, and a bottle of Jameson for $20. We had a great time that night! So, it was worth it! Thanks BevMo staff! Oh, the 750 ML bottle of Jameson was $5 cheaper than Target - sweet! read more

I'll keep it short. They have 1 register open and a line around the wine department. You get 1 customer asking about a return and you'll be there for an hour just waiting in line. There's a liquor store just up the street with great prices. Go there. I know I will. read more

This is without a doubt, the biggest Bev-Mo I've ever been in. It's located in Jack London Square right across the street from the big parking garage. But they have their own small private parking lot next to the store. Hard to find beer and wine can be found here, (Beer for me), cause they have room for everything. If you make large purchases, they will put your items in a box for easier carrying. There prices, well, they range from standard to kinda pricey, and the service is just average. I found some beer in here I couldn't find other places, that alone makes me stop by when I'm in the area. read more

OK so the no shopping carts thing I learned from. You order online and drive to the pick-up for them to walk out to your car. Drove up, parked. Checked in on the BevMo app. And waited. Waited. Customers were going in the front door, customers were going out. There was no long line, no one really there. After 20 minutes I went into the store and there were a bunch of BevMo employees arguing amongst themselves. All of them were up front by the register, just talking. I told the guy I've been outside for 20 minutes and he shrugged. Seriously, this place is a mess. I'm done. read more

This store is where hope goes to die. You will be lucky if there is one person at the checkout, and the line is guaranteed to be slower than seems possible. The place has to be at least 7,000 square feet, and there might be two employees tasked with running the place, plus some who are running the "GoPuff" side of things (who the heck names this garbage?). If there were literally any option in the neighborhood, I would take it. But Oakland being Oakland, you have to drive to freaking alameda to get anything. Argh. read more

This is one of the smaller stores in the area which was shocking upon this return visit, however, I used to hangout when it was the only BevMo in the area. I rarely bought food here, but came for the wine. They had fanstatic sales and I could find harder to find liquor regularly. I liked that! This store feel quite cramped compared to the Pinole, Emeryville, and Albany locations. I went to see what cider's they were carrying and I saw that a huge part of the floor was uncovered. It was strange, because there was no indication that they were going to fill it up with anything. The beer/cider section is much smaller than it used to be and I wondered about that. But going in provided a nice trip down memory lane. read more

I love this BevMo and they now have the holiday Hennessy bottles! I was looking for specific holiday bottles for Christmas gifts and I was not let down.

I placed an online delivery as I have done many times. The day it was to be delivered I got an email saying they cancelled it with no explanation. 3 weeks later I get an email that it was delivered and they took $200 out of my account.

Just bought bourbon there at 1:30 today, The cashier was inattentive, rude, dismissive, hostile, and in general obnoxious. She's angry about something, and doesn't hide it. Dreadful and pathetic person. read more

Lets start with their biggest problem, their prices are almost exactly 20% higher than Total Wine. If there was a total wine within 15 miles of Oakland, this store would be out of business in 24 hours. BevMo does price match with local stores but only on one item per order, which is so nonsensical I don't know where to begin. Items are often mispriced or mislabeled and no one seems to care. The staff there does seem like they are trying to do their best but they are understaffed and dealing with an inferior product offering. After many many years of shopping at local BevMo's, I think I'm giving up and driving the extra distance to a store who respects and is willing to compete for my business. read more

Really poor customer service. An in-store mistake was made but rather than dealing with it, the assistant manager pushed me off on corporate. It was very simple but has now become very complicated. The error still has not been corrected, more than 24 hours has passed. The ONLY reason they get a two star review is because the cashier was very nice and tried to correct the problem immediately. Management has been very slow. I'm very patient, even more so because of the pandemic. This issue isn't because of Covid, this is just a case of really poor customer service. I planned on waiting till after they fixed the matter before offering a review, but honestly I'm done. I will not be going back. read more

Limited selection, plus the person working the cash register was downright mean. (She always is!) On the other hand, another staff person working the floor was really helpful and checked their store room to find the item we were looking for. She was great. read more

I like this BevMo. It's super close to my neighborhood and right next to a bunch of great stores. Also next to it is the Jack London Ferry where you can book and board. It is located right on the main street in Jack London square where the train crosses the road. Every so often the freight trains and Amtrak will come blaring their horns and lock you at the stop sign for A while but it's nice to watch, unless you happen to be in a rush then it can be annoying. This BevMo has their own parking lot. The size is not super large but they still manage to keep everything on hand. Even if it is not stocked, just ask an employee for assistance they will check the inventory and they seem to always have everything extra in the back also. Super friendly service and extra cautious and sanitary every since Covid has arrived. FYI tip not all stores mainly here, if you forget your coupon they will honor it anyways because their store WiFi service is horrible. And sometimes they let you break your order in half depending on how much you are buying and you can use the 10$ off coupon twice but only SOMETIMES! . read more

once Go Puff (go puff what??) took over a few years ago it's been a steady decline. one cashier, about 20 people in line. one guy hustling around the floor, trying to be ten places at once. either no one wants to work there or the corporate office prefers a less-than skeleton crew to manage the place and pay as little as possible with no idea what the optics are, just a spreadsheet read more

Contacted BevMo for an event, filled out the online form and used this store, someone got back to me 3 weeks later! Not good, didn't use them. Tried going through another BevMo, also a bad experience, poor follow up and communication. They lost a very large order (wedding). read more

I needed to pick up a few non-beverage items. There really isn't a spot in Jack London Square you can walk to to get stuff (I needed dental floss and toothpaste among other things) other than this place. They had everything I needed in the little side part of the store. The best part of the experience was the cashier who was friendly and did her job well. I wish I had caught her name because I would give her a mention... They actually had carts, which appears to be a common complaint about this store. Although they appeared to be designed to wheel around cases of booze versus anything else. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. read more

Y'all had what I was looking for. Larnell went above and beyond to ensure I got the right product. Even the security guard was useful. The costumer service is consistently A1. Larnell; the product I was looking for was out of stock on the floor. He went to open the box to get me one. He was efficient and tended to everyone in the order they came into the store. I was in and out within a reasonable amount of time. read more

Zero shopping carts available for customers to use because "The homeless took them all." Great, so now I'm limited to what I can carry in a hand basket, and when I would usually spend $300+ per visit, I can now only fit about $100 in my hand basket. Don't bother coming here anymore, Total Wine is about 20 minutes away and it's not a ghetto shithole. read more

Placed an online order. Everything went through fine. It said they have a dozen in stock of what I wanted. Left to go pick up during my window.

Can't imagine the horrible service in the store. read more

Pretty decent liquor store with lots of brands I do enjoy. However sometimes they can have crazy expensive prices on them depending on if they might have any sale promotions going on I guess. Over usually a safe bet and they do have some killer bar accessories, etc. read more

I have been a long time shopper at Jack London Bev Mo. But no longer, since they have NO SHOPPING CARTS!! I dropped in to get several bottles of wine, a couple of bottles of spirits, and several 6 packs of beer. There was a line of 6-7 people. I had to leave because I couldn't stand in line with all those bottles. Don't shop here unless you can cary your items in your arms. They say the homeless steal all the carts. If they can't figure out how to serve their customers then they don't deserve the business. read more

F this place and their customer service. Also- prices seem to be misplaced on purpose. Meaning the larger bottle of the same brand has the smaller price listed....then the smaller bottle has the larger price. I saw that multiple times today. read more

BevMo! You are legit. I know, I know. I love indie stores, I do. However, this BevMo happens to be my closest liquor store, so what's a girl gonna do. This location is a behemoth that sells everything and anything you could possibly need or want and at a pretty great price. They literally stock any type of wine, liquor, beer, moonshine; they have it all. Not only do the carry pretty much any alcohol you may need, but just about anything that goes with it. Mixers, beer pong sets, birthday cards, cheese, crackers, salami, chocolates, candy, chips, salsa, queso. ANYTHING. I'm sure if you thought of something and they didn't have it, they'd make sure to stock it. Although BevMo is a huge chain they do stock indie enabling you still can shop local. I think they could still do more but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day. This place is awesome and I'm so glad it's so close. Oh, there's parking. read more

This Bev Mo is huge! Never been to this one before and they have a great selection. Even found my favorite Malbec which I couldn't find in other Bev Mo. They also have the forty seven monkey gin which is brewed in Germany. Expensive but probably the best gin I have had, better than Hendricks or tanqueray. Anyway, they have cheese and crackers , chips, charcuterie, chocolates, travel size of your liquor choice. They also have a separate section of just beer selections. They also have an array of bitters and cocktail mixes if you want to make your own drinks Check this place out. You will definitely find what you're looking for. read more
