So if you are visiting Penzeys for your favorite custom spices always a great idea to just walk next door and grab a few great wines on sale and call it a day! I am a huge fan of Total Wine recently but somedays BevMo hits the spot for convenience, competitive pricing and decent customer service. I do not like to have to carry a card to prove my worth here but if I can save some coin I will acquiesce. High recommend for variety, value, and convenience. read more

Decent selection of wines(Red, White) both domestic and International(French, Italian , Spain) etc.... They also have good selection of champagne, beer and hard liquor selections(Whiskey, Scotch, gin ) I really like there wide range of vodka selections. They even carry plastic cups for offering toast .. In a pinch they have a small selection of cigars... Overall a nice one stop shop that you can get for your holiday, birthday or celebration parties. Join the Bev mo club and they send you a 5 percent off card after you spend a certain amount(Think it was like $200 or it might be less) Also watch for the buy one get the second wine for 5 cent sale. You can find some good bargins with this sale. They have it a couple of times a year... Between here and Costco you can find your beverage needs... If you get stuck the wine specialist can make some good recommendations... read more

Do you remember Liquor Barn?! Boy does that bring back vague drunken memories. Anyway, Bevmo is like the new Liquor Barn. Its always fun to discover new drinks. My favorite things here are: * junmai daigingo sake * ice wine * port * pinot noir (I hate f***ing Merlot!) * Belgian beer in general * Elephant beer * various types of tequila, * specialty liquors You gotta try La Pinta Pomegranate Tequila...AMAZINGLY GOOD (but a bit expensive too). I confess, sometimes I buy caviar here too. I always come in here to buy one of my favorite beers of all time: Duchesse de Bourgogne. There's really nothing else like it that I've found. Its sweet but not as sweet as a lambic and it has a little bit of a sour taste. Its crazy how good it is! This is also where I get Soho Lychee liquor to make Lychee martinis. One of my favorite things about this place is the large collection of miniature airplane liquor bottles. Its a great and inexpensive way to try out new stuff. This is how I discovered the pomegranate tequila. Thanks Bevmo! read more

This was my second time in this store and the clerks here are sooo helpful! They're really nice and answer questions about wines and other beverages that I have absolutely no clue about! I've gone here to buy gifts for my brother and his partner and each time, I have an idea of what I want to get, but I don't really know what is good or not. Even the people who shop here are really nice and helpful. And when I am ready to check out, even though I don't have a Bevmo rewards card, the clerk or the checker will just swipe their card in for me to get the discounted price. I thought that was pretty cool! read more

Absolutely awful customer service. Mike was rude and dismissive at numerous questions and it was the worse experience I've ever had at Bevmo. ONE STAR, do not go here! read more

THE place to buy your booz! Where else in LA can you find this selection? Its clean, they have some great sales, and the employees speak english! You may be able to save a couple of bucks by hitting up costco, but this place is around the corner and this is what they do- alcohol! It seems every other state knows how to build a liquor store, but california is filled with these nasty corner-unit liquor marts that just rip you off! This is why bevmo is such a staple for me. They're good at what they do. read more

I don't buy a great deal of alcohol at one given time, I would much rather buy it one drink at a time from resellers at outrageous mark ups. Which, I suppose, is the downfall of being a social drinker. Bevmo exists to satisfy my alcoholic curiosities and to prove hard to find items. When in search of dry ginger ale, I want to know that I can turn to BevMo if my local Albertson's isn't carrying it. Besides, where else am I supposed to find those tiny sized bottles of booze? During my last trip to BevMo I was checked out by a clerk that looked to be no older than sixteen years old. She swiped my driver's license repeatedly after finding that it wasn't reading correctly. I suppose it wasn't her fault that my social drinking tendencies resulted in me being convinced that, indeed, I could turn my drivers license into origami that one night at the bar. The clerk finally gave up and took a quick glance at the ID, she turns to me and asks, "Um...Are you over 21?" To which I responded, "Uhhh...Yeah." I didn't think much of it. As I'm walking to my car, I hear some lady talking to her companion, "Did you see that, Harold? I think the girl at the counter just let her underage friend buy some alcohol. That's not right. I'm going to ask to see a manager about this. I can't believe the nerve of these little shit heads!" read more

This place is not as big as the other Bevmo, but it still got lots of items you are looking for. This store is placed in a big plaza so there is lots of parking nearby. The store itself has plenty of different types of wine from all over the country. They have have liquor, beers, etc. Anything you are looking for, it is all there at this store. You will also find good sales and the price are usually lower then most grocery stores. Another good thing about this store is there 5 cent wine sale. It is a great deal. read more

I stopped in last week after eating dinner at The Counter. There was a sign taped to the door (and on all the registers) that said they were only able to accept cash because their network was down. So I shopped around. Found some Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I'm pretty sure they're the only ones who carry it in the cans. I was bummed to see that it was being stored on the shelf instead of in the fridge, meaning I would have to go home and wait a while to enjoy them. To their credit, I will say that their store feels a lot larger and less crowded than the Pasadena location. So we get to the register. There's already two parties in front of me. And now three more parties behind me. There's only one cashier. The guy in front of me has to make two separate purchases. Plus he needs another case of wine from the back. A manager happens to walk up with a clipboard. She looks at the line and does nothing. Even while the cashier is on the PA asking for someone to get the wine, she ignored us. It took FOREVER to check out! Their lack of service was a big letdown, but I'll have to come back as long as I want Young's. Sigh. read more

Bev Mo is the only place to go. If you want the best selection of beer in town, go to Bev Mo. If you want to pick up a gift for your alcoholic friend Takero, go to Bev Mo. If you want to grab some mini bar bottles of Absolute and Don Juan before spending a small fortune at the El Rey, go to Bev Mo. Beer Recommendations: anything Anchor Steam, Bear Republic Racer 5, Delirium, Pyramid Apricot Ale. read more

I usually shop here once or twice a year and stock up. I go late in the evening so parking is not an issue. I like to check out the various wines and even judge the wine by it's label - cool label? Yup, you're going in my cart! I have a few favs that I buy alot of. I like the 5 cent sale - buy the first reg price and get the 2nd one for 5 cents more. The first time I saw this sale, I thought it was the 2nd bottle of any wine. But the 2nd bottle has to be the same - so you get 2 of everything... more drinking and more gifts to give out during the holidays! The staff is friendly and helpful but not always knowledgeable. So if you have a certain wine you want, make sure you know the name of it. read more

Hard to find a liquor store much better then good ol BevMo. This is a good one too. First off it's huge, you can find almost anything you want here. The wine selection is massive, the spirit selection is unlike any other, and the beer is sorted by country. What more can you ask for? Come during the 5 cent wine sale to try some more expensive wine's you would've of tried otherwise, c'mon with one bottle basically free what have you got to lose? I don't know if they still do beer tasting on fridays but that was a great way to get exposed to new beers. Seriously, just go here. They've even got specialty soda, cheese, meat, and crackers. What more can you ask for? read more

All of the people working yell "WELCOME!" as you enter the doors. I thought that was pretty entertaining, even if it was super slow on a Sunday afternoon. I mean, all I wanted was a good, chilled bottle of champagne. While being rung up for the Mumm Napa Brut Prestige, the cashier asked if we had tried the Mumm Napa Cuvee. I did some research, and it's an excellent one to try next. Love the people here! And they have Ginger Beer in stock! read more

Ohh nice, right next to a grocery store, so you can buy your juices next door... Somehow I always think I save money here... makes me feel good buying from a corporation I suppose. (?) All about selection... and that's worth it... Target has cheap mixers ... BevMo also has cheap mixers AND nicer quality/ name brand/ expensive but worth it ones. Time to buy all the good ole classic favorites. read more

You can find better deals at any grocery store. Their 2 for 1 deals are a joke. They simply charge double per bottle. Their selection is also limited to cheap, alternative stuff. Vons has them beat on everything. They also always only have 1 cashier, even if the line builds up. read more

This was my first time at a BevMo. I guess I was expecting a larger selection of alcohol than was there. I'm not sure if they are all this size or if this one was just a small store. The employees were all very nice and eager to help us find something. We were there to get a cold stout beer however there was a very minimal selection in the refrigerator since everything seemed to be out on the shelf. read more

Great selection and customer service.... My one issue is Bevmo's mark UP! I frequently buy a particular tequila and know the approx. price since I buy it often. Bevmo's price is 59.99 vs. a mom and pop liquor store that I frequent has the same exact tequila brand and size for 39.99! That a $20 difference. I don't get that! Bevmo has to do better for all of us in this economy....let's go BevMo. read more

I went to Bev Mo to puchase a bottle of Hennessey Master Blend #2 and asked if they price matched. She said she has to check the cost. She then informed me that yes they do. However since rhe Total Wine down thw street was out that she wouldn't. I informed her that the Total Wine in Long Beach has it in stock and she said that maybe I should go to Long Beach. I felt belittled as a customer would not suggest anyone vend at the location. The customer service was Horrid. read more

"Paaaaaaaarty!!" as I walk in raisin' the roof and dancin straight to the tequila section. Every time I come here, it feels like everyone else in the store is also buying alcohol to drink and be merry with friends! BevMo always has what I'm looking for, unless i m looking for a certain brand of Absinthe. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

This Bevmo is the first in the area for me. The Rolling Hills one is a lot closer now that it's open but I get to this one once in a while if I'm in the area. The parking is a lot better here. You can park near the bank or other stores and not be bothered by the close proxy parking dummies who don't seem to look either way when backing out. argh. Penzey spices is next door so you can get your special spice mixes while you're at it. Good stuff. The staff are not bad here. The RH and Manhattan Beach staff are much nicer though. The beer selection is a little more compact here too. It's not at vast it would seem but that could be my imagination. Everything else is exactly the same as the other Bevmos. Good place to get your drink on. Also, 5 cent sales are the bomb! BOGO for 5 cents. read more

This BevMo saved my life. I was invited to a party in the area and realized I didn't bring anything. Just as I thought that BevMo showed up on my right. The only concern was the vast selection of drinks kept me deciding for way too long what to buy. I got a nice bottle of wine and a port as well. Thanks BevMo! read more

Return policy is abysmal. Prices are not competitive. Costco crushes this place. Will never return. read more

I came for the 5 cent wine sale plus I was looking for this special rum. They have lots of gift sets for spirits and wine. I found lots of gift ideas for the up coming holidays. read more

BevMo! - This is a great tasting and smooth rum. You have to try it!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Torrance, California

I've written about BevMo before due to a particularly pleasant experience I had there. It was the one on Crenshaw and PCH, and they went out of their way for me. As I said in that review, I prefer Total Wine because they have a craft beer selection 4 times the size of either BevMo near me. However! I do have a shout-out, yet again for BevMo. There are so many times, as yesterday, when I have gone in there and received such a personal touch that I feel need to outwardly take notice. On one such occasion, the cashier took notice of my selections, deduced my palate and went out of her way to let me know that in the back and not on the shelves yet was the Deschutes Black Butte XXV anniversary. Yesterday Randy, the beer buyer, came up to ask how I was doing and again took notice of my selections. "You know, in the back I've got Santa's Little Helper, Barrel Aged." (I am beginning to think that "In the back" is really code for "In our treasure chest we have....." Thanks, BevMo for personalizing my visits as much as you do... :) read more

This review is probably going to resume my "Everything is better on the West Coast" series. (When I say "West Coast" I mean it in an Early 90s gangsta rap context so really I'm saying LA ) I have lived in LA now for over a year and I really regret that I ignored people when they told me. "You have never been to Bev-Mo? DUUUUUDDDEE Bev Mo is awesome" For me it was always one of those "Ill get around to it eventually" type of things, Boy am I glad I did. First of all the selection is INSANE. The store is about the size of a dam Costco. It is truly like Willy Wonka's liquor factory. Remember that beer you used to get years ago but your not sure if its discontinued or not. If it exists BevMo has it. They probably have 1004 beers just like it. When you walk in your greeted with a peppy lively and cheery sales person. You know how Starbucks isn't really selling coffee but they are selling personality ? Well yea, that's kind of like what this is like. The girl was super friendly and very, I mean VERY knowledgeable about any spirit I had a question about. I was bringing some spirits to my family at Thanksgiving and the girl was able to help me find A festive and Holiday appropriate Pumpkin Liqueur and a six times distilled vodka named Tito's (produced in Austin, TX) that ranks better Grey Goose as is way cheaper. It gets better. When I was at the counter ringing up my purchase shocked at how cheap everything was, they offer me a Bevmo card. After I swipe I'm thrilled to find out that almost everything I bought was discounted even more. AWESOME PLACE. AWESOME PRICES. AWESOME STAFF. AWESOME SELECTION. I'm never spending a cent on beer, wine, or sprits at a local liquor store ever again. Well unless I'm waiting for a burger at the Standing Room. BevMo really needs to expand nationally. Its really unfair that some markets have this wonderful place and others do not. read more

I came to this BevMo earlier today. It was my first time. Overall, I like the large selection of drinks and was able to find the Absinthe I was looking for.. my only peeve and big concern is that the cashier proceeded to explain how wasted his friends and family for when they drank absinthe. I felt that was extremely unprofessional. I get it, I look any other booze-dood but when there are other customers of varying demographics in line right behind me and to go on loudly about his stories - just felt highly inappropriate. Unfortunately, in the state of California, alcohol cannot be ordered online and delivered :( read more

Had an amazing experience at this store. The young gentleman named Anthony, was very courteous and helpful! Amazing customer service and extremely welcoming. read more

Come here for all your craft beer needs. Coming here is like being a kid at a candy store bc their selection of everything alcoholic is so vast. They always have what I need and I can also try out different beers. The staff here is always super friendly and helpful. Snacks sold here as well. read more

I always would drive by this place on my way to my hotel so this time I stopped and wanted to see if they had my mini bottle I was looking for and they had it! Winner winner chicken dinner! They got some good deals on their liquor. They have pretty much everything you would need to throw a party. If I lived here, I would come to grab all my liquor needs. read more

A great place to get any type of alcohol! They have anything and everything that you need to have a good night. My friends and I bought a half keg from here. It was $80 for the beer + $90 for deposit. Once you finish the beer and return the keg, you'll receive your deposit back. Typically the alcohol here is also cheaper versus your neighborhood grocery store. Check it out if you're in the area to save some $$$. read more

BevMo is really good for wine brands that are hard to find elsewhere. Sometimes the store is out of stock but carry certain items, which is a bummer. But I suppose if people are looking for uncommonly found items like I do, they would be hard to keep stocked. Prices are average and sometimes higher than others, even with the club deals. Search through the circulars for the best deals and don't go during holidays. You won't find much of anything. read more

Had a much higher opinion of Bevmo before Total Wine opened. Their selection is better than a typical liquor store or super market, but it's not quite as good as Total Wine and their prices are higher. For some belgian beers, TW offers both the 750ml bottle and four packs. Bevmo usually only has the 750's. TW also offers a huge selection of 12oz singles, Bevmo does not sell singles (12oz). Very limited number of beers in coolers. To be fair, TW doesn't refrigerate much either. However, TW gets Russian River Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig because they agree to refrigerate them (as required by RR). read more

I guess I am spoiled by Trader Joe's and Costco for prices and selection. Been a couple of times, and too it is a drive for me. (People at the beach don't like to lose their parking spaces on weekends) They do have the 5 cent sales, but seems like the low every day prices of other places is still a better deal ... read more

3/5/08 Update: The Smoked Mozzarella Cheese? Just fantastic! Well worth $10.89/Lb (sells in $6 chunks). LN Cool. Quality alcohols at discount prices. Very extensive selection of brands. I thought I knew or have heard of most brands until I stepped in here. I want to join a barfly community and die happy. I want to..., but no courage to live like that, not yet. It's just a bunch of drunkenness hogwash? Maybe, but even so...(Images of the movie Bar Fly with Mickey Rourke flashed by in my head). When I shop here, everyone looks like an alcoholic but that's just my imagination, I stopped staring at other customers. Highland Park: I picked up Highland Park for a reasonable price. I'm not really a malt scotch drinker but this one I can sip, strange that it won't let me drink it like water and get drunk fast, it makes you sip so rich in taste this. Maybe when I'm retired I can enjoy this more, wait I won't have a liver by then, milk and sugar is just fine then. Old Grand Daddy: I also tried 127 proof Old Grand Daddy. What is this thing? How come I didn't run into it when I used to drink whiskey? No matter, no money to buy this when I was young anyway. Strong, very. Once was enough. Cigars collection is small but it's convenient when for a quick pick up. The prices are not cheap though compared to internet shops. read more

Bev Mo is fine for the purpose that it serves. I had to run in here for a last minute gift item which they did have and luckily in 2 sizes. I opted for the smaller one since this was a generally expensive gift; smaller was less costly. The one thing that Bev Mo does do well as opposed to Total Wine who I just reviewed, is their frequent 5cent sales. These simply cannot be beat. I have stocked up on some great wins during these sales. I do my homework first to see what wines have won competitions or rated highly and I stock up at Bev Mo during one of their sales. That sale just cannot be beat and for that Bev Mo will still have my patronage. My only question is I have never had a single discount or special coupon come my way when I use my Bev Mo card. Other than getting the special pricing they might have on a choice, I have yet to see my points rack up to mean anything extra for my purchases. (sad face) read more

Beer drinker's paradise. If they don't have it in stock, they will order it for you. The only place in the South Bay that has both the selection and the low prices you want on the obscure beers you desire. They have an excellent liquor selection. I'm an aquavit drinker, and they always have my brand in stock. BevMo also carries a nice selection of oddball imported stuff if you're looking for something new, it's a good place to get inspiration. They've got the real expensive stuff here, under lock and key, so if you're booze tastes tend to be pricey, they may have the beverage you're looking for. They have a niche soda section, but it's not anywhere near as broad a selection as Galco's in Highland Park. It's the best around, and you can probably find that soda you're looking for here, unless it's really obscure. read more

Upside: Good prices, good selection, well-informed staff. Downside: World's WORST check-out. Yeah, the prices are good, but the checkout process is such a pain in the butt that this place would be my last choice to shop for booze. No matter how long the lines get, they never seem willing to open more than two of the four available registers, even when the lines stretch well back into the store and staffers are wandering around doing pretty much nothing. Seriously, you can spend 15-20 minutes here waiting to check out. Today I finally said the hell with it, put my stuff back on the shelves, and went across the street to Albertsons, perfectly willing to pay more just to get OUT and on with my life. To my surprise, Albertsons had exactly the same things I was going to buy, AT THE SAME PRICE. So from now on, it's BevMo only for the most exotic wines, which fortunately I buy only rarely. Who needs the aggravation? read more

Bevmo! Why are you so great?! And most importantly, why aren't you in more places?! This is my one stop shop for all my beverage needs! They have my ultimate favorite-Three Olives BubbleGum Vodka! I can either mix it with 7-up or get a cotten candy flavored soda and mix it for the tastiest girl-fu-fu drink :) This place has the largest assortment of those naughty little shot-sized alcohol samplers I've ever seen! Plus, not only can you get your drink on, you can get your snack on. Thanks for existing BevMo! read more

the guy that helped m3 was aaa+++ and smart knowledgeable and helpful!!! i got a great price on a 18 year old single malt bottle of liquor that the recipient seemed very happy with !! read more
