During the COVID-19 shelter-in-place (SIP) order they were great. They offered curbside pick-up,…read moremade 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.

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.

One of the best places to enjoy a good beer and hang out with friends. Great atmosphere, good…read moredrinks, and always a fun place to spend time. I'm really sorry to hear that this place has closed. It will definitely be missed. Thank you for all the great memories!

Welp, I came in again finally. Last time I was in here was 2023 (I left up my last review so you…read morecould see I was a fan of this place). Had a lot of beers left over from before Covid so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I've been trying to come back here for the last 4 weeks. Came by 4 times. The first three times it was closed - during open hours. The first time they had a sign "family emergency" which is understandable. The last two times I came by during open hours and they were just closed. Not acceptable. I'm guessing other people who kept coming by during open hours only to find them close will not come back again. Today, October 31, 2025 was going to be the last time - if they were closed again I would not come back. They were open. I went in and looked at the beers. There's a lot of really dirty bottles in the fridge. I pulled a Knee Deep out and looked at the date. It said 2015. I thought maybe it was so dirty I wasn't reading it right. Pulled out another one. 2015. Pulled out some other bottles. More from 2015 and 2016. We're in 2025. This is not a typo or a gag. He's selling beers from 2015. And he's selling this at full price. 7 bucks a pop. IPAs have a shelf life. Imagine getting a bottle of Knee Deep Citra home that you paid 7 bucks for and getting the tasteless, flat, bad water you're going to have with a ten year old bottle of beer. Kept looking. Found one 4 pack that was from May of this year - that was it. That was the only one I could find of the beers I looked at that was semi-recent. Some of the stuff had no date - knowing they sell decade old beer I would not buy any of it. Then I found one four pack that was from 2014. 2014. Eleven years ago. This is not a typo. He sells beer from 2014 in 2025 as fresh, full priced beer. IPAs. Never again. This is a place called "BOTTLES" who's main deal is his craft beer. And he's selling decade old beer at full price (shouldn't be selling decade old beer at any price). I used to be a big fan of this place - now I just want to warn people - if you go here for beer - look at the dates. And if you get a chance, sort the reviews here on yelp for Bottles by stars and look at the other one star reviews. All the one star reviews are the same as mine - complaining about old beer. But these are all from 2019 and before. So this guy was doing it back then - and the beers I'm seeing here today are probably the same beers these people back in 2019, 2018, 2017 were complaining about - still in the freezer. I give Bevmo crap for selling year old beer. Imagine selling 11 year old beer at full price. Unethical and incredibly bad business. Never again.

She said that this is a family owned business. She was very helpful. I couldn't believe some of the prices here, cheaper than I've seen anywhere, even the bigger liquor stores & grocery stores. I like supporting small businesses.

I wanted a Reisling and usually go to spots in El Cerrito, Berkeley, Albany, Oakland and decided to…read morelook locally. I felt like a ghost, like a "Spook, who sat by the door." I was ignored from the moment I went into there until I left. They had a selection and some decent prices, but apparently, they are left over from the part of San Pablo who really isn't into the race mixing. Someone was working on a spreadsheet? or something on the computer at a desk behind the platform where the cashier was standing. I was clearly looking, but when the bare minimum, "Hello, welcome. Can I help you look for something?" the floor becomes the making of something fancy, then something was wrong. I had one more stop to go after this. I was working too hard to find a drink to pair with my meal. The couple there remind me of the racists who ignore you. They don't call you names or look at you funny. I thought it was odd, because I thought that they'd want my money. I even found a good bottle of wine for a deal, but I don't knowingly spend my money with such people, so I left. Also, the desk, which was almost in the middle of the sales floor was strewn with papers and a real mess. That should never be shown to the public. I don't know why I'm helping them, but clearly these people never went to charm school, which is where I'd send them to learn some manners.

As expected, beers were amazing and we left very satisfied. There was a food truck serving filipino inspired foods and got their fries with calamansi sauce as a snack. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. It is a perfect spot for drinks with friends, pre-ferry drinks, or even just doing work away from home. Will definitely be back!

The brewery is dog friendly, there's a bunch of games -- including a pool table, Pop-A-Shot, and arcade games, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The one con to the space however is that there's a bunch of mosquitos inside. In the span of ten minutes, my friend and I were both bitten four times. If you're sensitive to mosquito bites, you'll definitely want to wear long pants and/or a jacket to keep the mosquitos at Bay. The beers here are fine. There wasn't a single beer that was amazing enough where I'd go out of my way to get it again. Although there's a wide variety of beers, most of them are on the lighter side. In term of food options, there was a single food truck parked outside on the day that we stopped by. That said, they do allow outside food. Overall, East Brother Beer Company was fine, but not a standout brewery experience for me.
