I had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had at BevMo, specifically with…read moreEsmeralda. From the moment I walked in, there was no greeting or acknowledgment, despite her standing at the register without a customer. I politely asked if she could help me retrieve an item from a shelf, and she responded, "We'll be right with you." It took nearly 10 minutes before she finally came over, only to apologize and explain she had been closing out a register. When I showed her the item I was looking for, instead of assisting me, she simply pointed down an aisle and told me where it might be. Fortunately, a manager noticed I was still searching and personally helped me locate the product. When I went to check out, Esmeralda was the only cashier available. After placing my items on the counter, she asked if I wanted a shopping cart. I said yes and asked where they were located. She told me they were outside. While she was ringing up my purchase, I stepped outside to grab a cart and returned. At that point, she informed me that she needed to ring up the entire order again and began asking me how many of each item I had already placed on the counter. Confused, I simply looked at her. She then asked, "You can't speak?" I replied that she seemed unable to do her job and told her that the customer service had been poor from the moment I walked into the store. Instead of attempting to resolve the situation, she stopped helping me altogether, began assisting other customers, and stated that she was no longer going to ring up my purchase. I requested to speak with a manager. She said "okay" but never called one. This interaction was unprofessional, dismissive, and completely avoidable. Customer service starts with basic courtesy and a willingness to help. BevMo should invest in employees who genuinely want to assist customers and represent the company professionally. Ended up, leaving without even making a purchase.

Such a beautiful woman inside and out! Amazing service and genuinely cares for her customers!read more

This is a legend as far as liquor stores go. I was first introduced to this store growing up in…read moreBerkeley and it was down the street from our house. So once I bought a home in Bayview and realized that Jay Vee was still going I was excited and had to pay a visit. This is small but has a large selection of liquors, beer and wines. Good to know that whenever liquor or wine is wanted I know where to go.

** The following review reflects my shopping experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. **…read more I believe it was Socrates who said, "If you can't get to BevMo, then go to Bevbox." I may be wrong about that, but if you happen to be in the livestock capital of the East Bay, then Bevbox would fit the bill. Rodeo's association with livestock roundups are long gone, but the need for libations is presumably still there, especially as shelter-in-place clocks into its seventh month. Supplemented by the inevitable selection of snacks, their inventory is quite impressive for a store that looks more like a convenience mart from the outside. Safe distancing is well addressed in here, too. I think Socrates may be right this time. RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa?

Since I moved towns and came back they treat me like sh*t…read more Honestly The only reason why we go here is because they have the specific thing that we need that's hard to find anywhere else, tobacco. Now that we moved in stop back by the other day the service is absolutely terrible. Didn't wanna say anything but now honestly I'm like screw this, he's not gonna keep on treating my mom and I like this without warning you what they do. Buddy buddy with you until you don't spend money there once you come back and you haven't spent money there in a while they charge you double the price or they give you a shitty product. Typical won't be back unless I'm desperate. Don't wonder why you're faithful customers don't come back you know why you know exactly why and you know who exactly I'm talking to I don't even have to say anything you know it. Tall mcskis

Ever since my trip to Oregon, I've been craving crispy fish and chips! This is the closest…read morerestaurant that I can think of that offers that and many other similar dishes. The fish and chips were good enough to fulfill my cravings and it comes with 4pcs of crispy battered fish. You can request vinegar on the side as well. There was a good amount of meat on it, as there wasn't too much coated batter. I've also tried their crab melt and it was buttery and toasty. I asked to sub my fries for clam chowder and they happily accepted the substitution. I've only ordered to-go because the establishment is quite small and tends to get busy, but the food is still great! The items I've had tasted fresh and cooked very nicely. I'd like to come back and dine in, in the future, and explore their other entrees.

We shared a mussels appetizer which I highly recommend. It comes with french fries. I also got fried oysters. She got a salad and I cannot recall what kind it was. I will say that the oysters I did not enjoy, they were runny on the inside and the coating that it is fried in was not to my liking. I would not order them again, but I would definitley return. Service was good and efficient. We were seated promptly. The set up is nice inside.
