This store is pretty grand for service at least when I was there. They always have something I want and they have some good sales on things. I only wish they had sales on cigars. read more

My husband and I went to pick up a couple of Cali Squeeze beverages and the customer service was terrible. Mind you we were there two weeks ago, and the clerk was kind, friendly providing exceptional customer service. Today, this clerk "Ezmerelda" was laughing and talking to others, but was bothered by us from the start and not sure Why. We walked up, I said hello (super friendly) and she ignored me. I said hello again and then said hi as if I was bothering her. She wanted my husband's ID, and he politely asked her, "why, 2 weeks ago he wasn't asked," as he was handing her his ID, she scanned it and the way she spoke about needing to make sure his ID was valid, she was so RUDE, and I told her, "YOU HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE!" She didn't care. Attention BevMo Managers: Your clerks are representing your company, and they should be capable of providing Excellent Customer Service to ALL guests. I get it, we all have bad days, but I felt her bad vibes from the moment we walked up by her body language and facial expressions. Not a good look for a one stop shop. read more

This was a quick but pleasant exchange. I went to buy a bottle of Don Julio Reposado and found a some pineapple juice to pair with it. The cashiers were informative and quick and I was able to get in and out pretty fast. read more

So I went to get a bottle of Lalo. I don't drink tequila, so it was a request from a friend giving a party. I opted for the liter. The cashier was struggling finding my number in the "system" even though I have been a regular customer since it opened that location. After several minutes and an increasing line, I said I'd just pay what it was thinking it might be 5-10 off. Turns out it was $30 difference in "sale" price and non-member price. The cashier clearly knew that, and she has seen me there before. I think I'm done with terrible customer service for the rest of the year. BevMo is first in line to not see me again for a very long time. Adios - spend my $30 well. read more

My experience was not very good. I give the cashier my membership number which I have had since the 90s. The cashier asked for ID. I'm well over 60. I did giver her my driver's license. However since my license just expired the cashier told me that I couldn't use the license. Regardless of the expectation date, the license shows that I am of age. That s a bad experience when your cashiers can't use common sense. read more

Just like every other BevMo, has some good variety of liquors and whiskey. The store is clean and organized. But the pricing is really high for the small thins like mixers and syrups. The Torani brand syrups are 50% cheaper at TJ Maxx and Homegoods, which are literally 2 doors down from this location read more

Yes! Bev Mo has a great variety of Boos to pick from. It's great location & close to home. Love it!

Awful selection and awful service! Also, if one of their other BEVMO stores had a sale on a bottlE, they will not match the sale. Instead they what you to drive 15 more miles to the other store. Makes no sense to me, considering they're all owned by BEVMO? Now for the service, I have nerve been in before without one of the employees being rude or condescending. Usually it's an older woman (I'm assuming the manager), but this time it was a young cashier named "Tim". Be prepared to annoy these employees if you go into their store, ask anything, or make purchases. Today, a gentleman was ahead of me and had to grab an item he could locate while paying. He went to grab it and while doing so the cashier helped the next customer. He was waiting for them to finish their transaction, when Time redirected him to the line. They start the line behind the last row, so if you're standing in front you only see open registers and no line formed. As I was talking to the gentleman about how I was confused with the line too, Tim made the remark "don't you know if you get out of line you need to go back to the end of the line", the said "we all went to elementary school right?" I couldn't believe it, I then reminded him that the man is a customer and part of the employees job is customer service which is severely lacking. Tim may have went to elementary school, but not sure how much he retained after... read more

My driver's license expired 4 days ago. I do not have my new one in the mail. So I was unable to make a purchase. Even with my 4 day expired ID, and the fact that I am 54 years old, and WAS a frequent customer. I will never do business with this organization again. read more

The older lady that works at this location is extremely rude and will talk to you in a very demeaning way. No point in asking for help from her, and the rest of the employees are just bumbling idiots read more

So the store itself was fine, didn't realize they have expanded to carrying household items such as cleaning supplies and laundry detergent! Needed to use the restroom in this location. Store was open at 9am. Busy busy here on Christmas Eve morning! One restroom door can't be closed the other restroom 4 mins after store opened is filthy, floors gross uncleaned toilet and no toilet paper. Cleanliness is a 0 stars. The variety of product 3-4 stars. Hard to find whiskey was found here on sale even! Couldn't find the two moscatos we were in search of .. still hunting ! read more

Check out my previous review about the old beers. Today is October 1, 2022. I was over there and thought I'd just stop by to see if they had any fresh beer, looking for a good pale ale. I look around, they don't stock the brands together which is crazy (Modern times is all over the place for example, and it's not beer styles, it's IPAs in three different places I saw). But I saw some Bike Dog Mosaic, a pale ale I like and have had a lot of times. I have to see the brew date, if it's more than a couple months old I won't buy it. I see the date - Sept 21. I'm going "yeah, super fresh!" Then I see the year. 2021. We're in 2022. This beer was made September 21, 2021. OVER A YEAR OLD. And they want me to pay $18 bucks for this? YEAR old beer? This is not acceptable. I wrote a review about old beer on the shelves and you can see the manager responded to it. But did they do anything about the old beer? Nope. Beer OVER A YEAR OLD ON THE SHELF and they want 18 bucks for it. Not acceptable in any shape or form. BTW, the manager responded to my previous review and told me to email "customer service" and included the email. I did and all I got was a stock response about "existing orders" and "Order Confirmation Not Received..." Mind boggling. read more

INTERNATIONAL SELECTION: born and raised in Southern Africa and I can always find a few favorites here at BevMo. That's why I am really reviewing it because even during a pandemic they still have my favorites from the motherland! Aye! First of all they have Amarula which is a smooth Bailey Type liquor and its straight from South Africa. And the best thing is it's always in stock. Have it neat with ice cubes or which some vanilla bean ice cream . Thank me later! Secondly South Africa has the most amazing wine growing regions like Stellenbosch and Franschhoek! Highly recommend you visit them when you are in South Africa. Pinole BevMo had white wines from Simonsig and Klein Constantia wine estates. Love both of them ! Lastly we found Tuskerrrrr ! One of the best beers from Kenya. Crisp and refreshing and Totally amazing . Hubby's favorite beer am not a beer drinker but I love it. BevMo totally rocks the international selection! Come here you will be pleasantly surprised! read more

I've been going to Bevmo since it was Liquor Barn. I mostly buy wine and spirits; occasionally I'll try to find a beer I like better than Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, usually unsuccessfully. I'm not much of a beer guy. First thing to know is that 5 cent sale thing is a total gimmick. You can bet if a bottle of Chardonnay is priced at $19.95 but the SECOND bottle is only a nickel, you can be assured that the correct price point for that bottle is ten dollars. When I run low on wine, these days I'm starting to buy like 6 bottles at the grocery store to get the multi bottle discount that brings the price down to where it should be. I'm really starting to lose interest in Bevmo. Firstly, the pandemic got everybody used to having everything delivered, which brought us the stupid Gopuff thing. We have plenty of grocery stores around Pinole and a few convenience stores and gas station stores. We don't need to convert like 20 percent of Bevmo to a convenience store. It cuts down on the wide selection which was the main draw of Bevmo. Sloe Gin, an ingredient of my current favorite drink is now discontinued. I had to first explain to an independent liquor store manager what it was, then he kindly volunteered to stock it for me. I actually WANT to leave my apartment occasionally; I don't need wine and spirits delivered, much less paper towels or candy bars. I think it was around the time of the Gopuff conversion that the thing that really ticks me off now about this Bevmo started: Wines got vintages. You can frequently find 2 or even 3 different years on the shelf all mixed together. Which is great. I like an extra year or 2 on my Chards so I'll grab the earlier vintage when I see a couple to choose from. But watch the price on the shelf tags. It used to be common enough to see the shelf tag referring to a vintage several years old, but that was because they just didn't want to bother to change the tag every year. It's still basically the same wine, so OF COURSE the price will still be what's on the tag. (Obviously, no one would even consider putting a price tag on the individual bottle; that's so seventies.) But I've recently started noticing the shelf tag will list a price with a phrase like "2017 vintage only" but that was like 3 years ago. I got suspicious I was getting scammed so I actually started paying attention to the price they were advertising on the shelf tag and checking my receipt, and yes. They're ripping you off. I could care less about a couple of dollars one way or another -- wines vary -- but sometimes the difference between the advertised price and what it rings is huge and notice it's always off in the store's favor. The newer vintage is never less than what it's marked, it's always more. And in theory an older vintage should have a bit of a premium generally since you're paying them to "cellar" it for you. Try buying a 1985 bottle of wine and you'll get what I mean. I'm sure I come off like some grumpy old man paying with a check or exact change or something, but I've mentioned to the employees a couple of times that they need to go through all the shelf tags and update them but of course they just ignore me. It's also fairly annoying to have to shuffle through handing the cashier my ID, the member card and my phone for the coupon in the email while scanning my debit card on the point of sale scanner thing. I'm starting to feel like I should just buy wine and spirits online or at the grocery store or somewhere else. I think the Bevmo era has passed. read more

I struggled with knowing how many stars to give to this BevMo location. Everytime we have come here it has not been a good experience. We've ordered online and the online staff member lacked greatly in customer service, he was so rude. We walked up to the line and he said nothing and then just stared at us with an expression like ... Yes?! What do you want?! Rollin his eyes. We said we made an online order. With a sarcastic tone he said, I neeeed your order number! He was rude to his coworker as well. Barking orders in front of us not giving her any respect or dignity. Today we ordered online because it was our only choice due to COVID 19 adjustments. We hadn't received any confirmation in two hours. We drove over there and the young lady at the door said we absolutely have to wait til we receive an email confirming the order is ready that we should wait in our car. That is what the sign said as well, wait in your car. We could not wait any longer it was going on 3 hours. We got in line again and the young lady by the door just stared at us. Then my hubby took it upon himself to say ok so I can walk up now? She said yeeeeeah I don't bite! As long as I've worked in customer service I've never seen a staff member handling a line just stare at you. They let you know when they are ready for you and say Next person please. One of the only three staff members they had working came back and said your orders are taking long because the the computers had crashed. I give two stars because she then confirmed our order and got it together in 5 min. We never experience rudeness and unprofessional behavior at the Albany BevMo. Please people I know there's a lot of lack of home training these days but step it up when your at work. read more

I went here and am happy that I did. I don't know why, but this location and the Emeryville locations are my faves. It's dark inside, but I found the wine I was looking for. I also found some other items to price compare and came away with two bottles of wine. People don't socially distance by six feet when waiting in line though and because the aisle is narrow, it's hard to socially distance when you have to pass them. But, I'd go here again. It's much easier to navigate than the Albany location. But the narrow aisle, and the one line for the cashier should be changed. read more

This review goes to an employee that works here. Give a shout out to BAMBI! She greeted me with the simple "do you need help finding anything?" And she delivered. Directed and even followed up afterwards. I don't make drinks, I don't drink often but I love being able to be served a drink, so when the wife asked to grab some ingredients for Margaritas, best believe BAMBI delivered. So if you need anything or any questions, especially if your knowledge with alcohol is not good, come to bevmo see her, she can guide you around and make suggestions. She not the type to upswell you, she'll listen and suggest stuff that you need. Thumbs up, best employee. read more

First and last time going to this bevmo location...Two rude workers and I think one was the manager herself!!!Walked in, no greeting and instead I get glanced at while they go back to talking. When I check out, more rudeness and lack of customer service. I'm sure if they were treated like how I was as shoppers they would be complaining too. Period... I'm not asking for ass kissing, just BASIC customer service which I guess doesn't apply to the position there?Two stars is for the product selection which is good but all bad as far as the workers I came in contact with...SAD..... read more

Where my daughter-in-law went to BevMo. We were greeted right through the front door which was very nice. Warm as I was walking around I was just looking to look at it like oh I'm lost. A gentleman was helping another customer and employee. He immediately said if you need any help I'll be done with her shortly and I'll be right with you. Wow no thanks thanks I appreciate it but no I'm just a little bit lost in my own head but I just appreciate him stopping greeting me and saying he will be with me as soon as he could. So my daughter and I had a great time walking around looking at everything spent lots of money as an enjoyable ! read more

I was a customer of this shop for a long time. Good selection, reasonable price, and very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the BevMo website started a very strange business. They send you a coupon, you use it and the site accepts this coupon. But after order pickup, they charge you full price and the coupon disappears from your invoice. It happens 3 times with me and after a long discussion customer service returns "extra charge", but it requires time and attention. Today they played this game again and I designed to forget this shop forever. read more

Discovered a gem. Hidden behind the FoodMaxx and Panera Bread is BevMo! and a few other stores. I didn't know they had so many perks! From wine tasting Saturday's to buy one wine get its twin for 5 cents. Pretty spacious too with aisles of wines, beers, spirits, you name it. In the back I think there's bar snacks, but I was more invested in the wine. So many and organized by region too. Lots of goodies for parties or if you want to restock on glasses, mini flasks, whatever! Just pop in and you'll find something fun and cute to take home with you. Cashier was so friendly and helpful even though it was busy. I signed up right there to be a member and get even more perks. Oh and you can order your stuff online and come and pick it up. I think they do delivery too! New favorite store, no ifs ands or buts about it. read more

Went to this BevMo location yesterday to grab some tequila. I usually go to total wine which is significantly more affordable however I was in the area and decided I could just stop in there and do a price match. The cashier Benito was polite and just advised he would need his manager to come over to approve the price match. He called the manager over who took her time coming over after about 3-4 minutes clearly upset that someone even wanted to price match. She comes over and while not even acknowledging me asks the cashier "what does she want?" I start to show the Total wine price and listing and she just barely glances at it and proceeds to talk to cashier "they shouldn't even be doing this during the holidays." Very rudely and completely unprofessional. Excuse me that bevmo agrees to price match and that total wine has better prices. Trust me the line that built up while waiting for her to come over wouldn't have been an issue if she helped ring up instead of having one cash register open. My husband has previously had a similar experience with her and her attitude towards price matching even without a line. Seems passive aggressive to have this attitude towards the customer instead of voicing her opinion or concern to her corporate office who allows price matching. I never have this issue with the BevMo in Antioch. You would think the price difference comes out of her own paycheck. This review is in no way against the cashier who again was very kind and professional and seemed a little embarrassed by her attitude. The 2 stars is for him, wish I could give more but this manager is something else. read more

This review gets one extra star (for a grand total of two) ONLY because one of three staff members (or so she said; that there were only three people working in the store today) put on some good customer service for the 15+ of us waiting outside the store. The other two need customer service and decency training. April 2020, many people have lost jobs, people are stuck inside hiding from a deadly invisible enemy. Last thing anyone wants is a rude clerk when they went to buy some grown folk happy juice (in all fairness, clerks don't want stank attitude customers either). We ordered our bag of fun at 1:20p. Expecting it would take an hour to be ready, maybe a *little* more, we ran errands around Pinole. At 1 & 3/4 hours, still no "order ready" email. We were out of errands and home was too far away to go home then come back. So we went to BevMo. The doors were partially open but blocked by a woman who must have had more than her fill of ______ (fill in the blank of whatever made her mad). We sat in our car for a few minutes, watching customers walk up to her, talk back and forth and then walk away either back to their vehicles or off to the side of the doors to form a line. Considering it was well over one hour since we had placed our order, we decided to politely approach her and see if by chance the order was ready or if there was an ETA. She was curt and brash in turning us away, saying that unless we had received an "order is ready" email then there was no way our order was ready so wait for an email or call. Once that was said she turned her attention away from us as if we didn't exist. We went back to our car which happened to be parked right in front of the store and watched for the next 30 minutes as she increasingly got madder and snappy with people that would come up. One particular woman must have really agitated this clerk because she started clapping her hands sarcastically with each word of whatever she was trying to tell this customer. Then this clerk walked away from the conversation, saying she needed to get some air or some space. Next some man started coming to the door periodically, looking very angry and unfriendly, barking out names and acting as if everyone was interfering with the progress of his day. We finally decided to get in what was now a long line forming outside the store of people who wanted to pick up their items and get on down the road. When we finally got to the front of the line, the same rude clerk stared at us silently and then made a sarcastic joke about our not approaching her table (but after what we had seen with our own eyes and heard, who wants to approach that attitude anyway? Plus if you want someone to come to you, it's common sense to gesture to them or tell them "next in line" or something, not just stare at them). Then a third woman who looked stressed but also looked like she was doing the best she could ask for our order number and name. It was at this particular point in time, not by a sign written on the door earlier in the day and not by any other clerk or manager telling any of these customers anything, but by this one woman's lightbulb-in-head realization that she should inform everyone in the long line that the computers had crashed *earlier in the day* and many orders had not been printed out so they had to fill these orders as people arrived. Yeah, so much for wait until the email or call - we still would have been there when they happily sauntered off home after closing. If either one of the other two clerks had simply told people this information right up front, it would have saved a lot of frustration and anger and bad taste in the mouth for many people, including the clerks. But for whatever reason, they didn't think we needed to know that they were having problems inside. Thankfully this third clerk who informed us of the computer issues took our information and within five minutes (roughly 3 hours after the order was placed) got our items bagged and confirmed and into our hands. When we walked away toward our car, she was continuing to take people's information so they could get their orders processed. THANK YOU overworked-but-trying-your-best-to-be-nice-lady, wish I knew your name. This isn't the first time we've had to deal with bad attitudes at this store. Unfortunately for us, it happened to be the most conveniently located BevMo for our schedule. And the attitude stuff is sad too because aside from being wedged wayyyyy in the back of a strip mall with only one way in and out, it's a pretty nicely laid out and lit store with plenty of options and space. I guess if you are a callous person or a robot, then none of the above matters (however waiting almost 3 hours for an order is going to anger anyone) and you can get in, pay, and get out. Watch out for this location, especially if they are having a bad day. You'll be having a bad day too (till you crack open a bottle and fix that; maybe those people need a shot or two also). read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! I am so disappointed. After expressing numerous times to several employees that my card will be charged $300 for my online order please do not re-ring up a new order they told me and try to ensure me that they canceled the original online order and not to worry that it was still pending and will not process. Low and behold I look at my fucking Chase account and I've been charged $300 on this alcohol purchase which now as I look wasn't even a good deal. Please if you happen to look at their deals noticed that everything is way overpriced so it may appear that you're getting a deal but the deal is actually regular prices from other competitors fuck not even competitors they are liquor store prices that are lower. Now they're not even answering the phone so I have to go down here during this COVID-19 corona and try and see how the hell they're going to reverse this $300 charge that shouldn't be on here and I damn near want to get a refund for everything I don't even want this high priced as alcohol anymore. Not to mention it was all supposed to be delivered for free by 2 PM when they didn't show up the whole day I end up having to pick it up before they close at 8 PM climbing at their system crashed but did not think to alert their customers? Never again and I mean never. read more

I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic... I get it. Although, I spoke with a customer service agent who was sooooo rude and so unprofessional. I was kind, I was nice. I was even nice after she said "so you wanna order with me or WHAT?" I proceeded & asked when it would be ready. More attitude. More attitude. Soooo rude. Finally, I said Thank you and she responds "MHM" I have never talked to someone so rude in my life. I am very upset. I needed two mini bottles for a cake I am making.... and the customer service I received has left a horrible taste in my mouth. Everyone is having a hard time right now.

During the COVID-19 shelter-in-place (SIP) order they were great. They offered curbside pick-up, made sure staff and guest maintained social distancing, and all financial transactions were done online (good & bad). When the state reopened, the customer service and standards were just as great. Plus, with the discovery of curbside pickup, our holiday and fight night drink orders were a blessing because we skipped the long lines. The only thing I didn't like During the SIP order was if I didn't decide early enough in the day to purchase liquor online, I had to wait to pickup the next day. Or, purchase that day somewhere else and usually at a higher price. read more

This review is for one of their employees, not the actual store. I've been ordering alcohol from Bevmo for pick-up since the covid-19 outbreak. It's less crowded than the other places so I feel safer. (1) First time I went to pick up my stuff, they got my order wrong. Whatever. People make mistakes. (2) Second time, the order got delayed to the next day (which was forgivable given the covid 19 situation). Then some of the items were sold out but they didn't tell me about it and charged me full price. I found out later and they made me go inside the store in order to process the refund (I had to touch the payment terminal and they had to touch my credit card...ugh). (3) Due to my previous experiences, I decided to try delivery this time. The driver was great. But it was missing a couple of items (one was sold out and the other was just not there). I called bevmo and this guy named David (I hope I got his name right...I'm forgetful) apologized and explained that the staff didn't get the order right and the driver couldn't deliver it to me. I didn't wanna make a trip to bevmo just for one item. But then David offered to drop it off at our house after work. I was really thankful. He really didn't have to do that because it wasn't his fault to begin with. He could've just cancelled the item but he went the extra mile (or extra miles in this case lol). I hope management reads this and recognize what an awesome employee he is. He's the reason why I'm giving this store 5 stars. Thank you! read more

THE worst customer service, they act like it's the DMV and not a business. I asked two separate people a question because I needed help finding something and both times the response was "get in line", a little too loud for my liking with a gesture to the line. WTF?! read more

I ordered a bottle of Krug Champagne online from BevMo Pinole as a surprise celebratory gift for my wife, since everywhere near me showed it out of stock. I included a message to my wife in my online order and they went the extra step to hand write the message into a card for me, which she greatly appreciated. Order pickup was smooth, which I did 4 days after making the order, as there was a 5 day pickup limit. Thanks BevMo! I highly recommend this store for picking up online orders! read more

I was in BevMo this morning located at 1220 Fitzgerald Dr, Pinole, CA 94564. There is a female manager that I have noticed on several occasions who always complains about her staffing issues. The customer does not need to hear this. She also never appears to help her staff out. It is very apparent that she is not a team play but a whiner. Her attitude is a downer and she would not be on my team. read more

It sucks that I can't remember the manager's name! So I had a $30 gift card which was previously rejected by the BevMo located in Torrance. I was in a rush and didn't have time for a discussion, so I took my card back and paid for my stuff in cash. I found myself up at this location a couple of weeks later and realized I still had the card. I asked one of the staff members who I could speak to about my situation. I just really wanted to know if there's a way to find out when and where the card was supposedly used since I never did and that it was in my possession the whole time. The manager came out, took a couple of minutes to do whatever he was doing, and... BOOM. He handed back the card to me, "$30 still on the card." Of course I spent it! And then some! Just wanted to give him and his peeps a shout out for taking the time. THANK YOU! I'll be back! read more

The BevMo in Pinole is the secret weapon for acquiring limited beer releases. This BevMo was on the list to get the most recent shipment of Stone Enjoy By. Most other places, that stuff goes pretty quick. But I rolled into this place to find 4 full cases just waiting for me to pick up. Score! Staff here was friendly, very helpful, but only partially aware of the beer treasure they had in their possession. It seems folks who usually shop here also aren't up on the latest & greatest in the beer world. 2 beer noobs came in looking for Pliny & couldn't even comprehend my suggestion that they get Enjoy By as an alternative. That's cool. That's what makes this BevMo a useful asset. I know if I can't find a hard-to-get beer anywhere else because it's already sold out, there's a good chance I can find it here. & the beer noobs can still get what they want, even if what they really want is what I'm getting but they just don't realize it. It's win-win! read more

BevMo is at the far end of the shopping center, parking is easy. I can get in and out of the store quickly. Sometimes, it takes longer to get out of the area. There is only on entrance unless you wind into the next strip mall spot. I think most people know about the buy one and get the second for five cents sales event. They also have some nicer wines that I have driven to Lodi to taste and buy. Going to BevMo for wine isn't an event. But, it is quick and cheaper than a trip to any of the nearby wine growing and winery areas. The solution will be to go wine tasting takes notes and check Bev Mo for the wine. read more
