BevMo

Such a great selection beverages! We are never disappointed when we go there for our special event needs… This is especially useful for when we go to a party and need to bring a housewarming gift. Also, in terms of being tuned in as far as seasonal goods as concerned, are always up to date and provide great food pairing ideas. Salespeople are pretty friendly and they are never understaffed. Definitely recommend :)

Limited selection as this is a smaller store, offset by the handy location right on Burlingame Ave. Friday night wine and beer tasting is an interesting offering, as well, updated to match the fall theme this past week with bold reds and pumpkin flavored beers and ciders. Pro tip: you will absolutely end up carrying your purchases more than a couple steps, as parking in this area is limited to a few street spots and several lots dotted around the area.
The ability to place an order online and pick up just one hour later is one of the handiest things about BevMo in general, but the last time I went the cashier and I waited for fifteen minutes (and through two loudspeaker calls) for a manager to come up and process the transaction on a Saturday afternoon, even with no other customers in store. Willing to chalk it up as a one-​off, as the staff are generally friendly and helpful.
PARKING ADDENDUM
Parking can be tough in the area, but the closest public lot is behind the Walgreen’s at Burlingame Ave/​El Camino if you can’t find street parking any closer.

College-​aged me used to think BevMo was the COOLEST place around, with their seemingly never-​ending aisles of liquid gold. Adult-​aged me is noticeably less impressed.
BEER & WINE TASTING HOUR.
Admittedly, this is a pretty cool thing to have in their store. We arrived about 15 minutes before it was scheduled to end, and the guy at the cash register was extremely hesitant to let us partake in it, which was odd. There was no one at the tasting area when we got there (I’m not really sure how many people know/​attend this thing?). The employee running it wasn’t far, and was fairly accommodating. After the tasting, you’re told they have to charge you a tasting fee (I believe it was a few dollars), but that you can waive it by spending $ 10 in-​store. Not a huge deal, but maybe you should mention that first? Granted, you’d assume an adult in BevMo could afford the $ 2, but it seems odd to advertise it as free and then charge you after.
They have a pretty decent selection of basically everything, but the overall service there isn’t great — our cashier was very apathetic, not super helpful, and didn’t seem to like that we were there making him work. Oh well.

One of my favorite locations in the Bag Area! They have the best wines on a buy one get one for $ 0.05 selection, and everyone in the store is very helpful.

Made an online purchase a few weeks ago, then picked up my order at the Burlingame location. Having lived nearby, I knew exactly where the store was located and had experienced nothing but good things in previous visits.
Here’s the lowdown on why I’d recommend going elsewhere:
1) Parking stinks!
Even if Burlingame Ave wasn’t torn to shreds (they’re in the final stages of a street improvement projects), there used to be ample complimentary parking behind the store for BevMo customers. Not anymore, this lot has been converted into metered parking, which there never seems to be an open meter available! There’s also a valet only service for customers in this shopping center, but not sure if BevMo customers can use it? $ 20 if you don’t have a validated ticket.
2) Service wasn’t great.
I ordered a case and a half of sparkling wine for an upcoming party. The cashier acted like it was a huge deal to reward my BevMo customer card after I had already paid online. No one offered to help me to my car, either!
3) Getting large, heavy orders into your car blows!
There are shopping carts for customers to use, but the wheels are disarmed after you move past the parking lot. Remember? The one where there’s no spaces or $ 20 valet? That means people parked on the street have to abandon their cart and haul heavy items to their car parked on the street near the back lot. Not fun!
For big orders, BevMo offers great deals (5 cent wine sale, anyone?), but this particular location isn’t conducive to accommodating more than a few bottles at a time. Go to San Mateo or Redwood City if you’re having a party and want to take a few cases home.

Bev Mo!!! Go here for 5 cent sale for your wedding!!! Amazing deals and great wines! Plus you can do a free tasting and order as much as you need! Free delivery with over $ 500 purchase, plus you can return any extra unopened bottles!
Dan is the best! He helped picked all our rehearsal and wedding wine! He rocks! I recommend only speaking with Dan though about your order since no one esle seems to know what’s going on! Dans the man!

Good selection of wine… but with a recent management change the customer service has really dropped off. I will not be returning.

We came here and had just missed the big sale. But they still had some bottles for ‘buy one, and get the second bottle for 5 cents”. The staff was quite knowledgable (well, not all of them, but we managed to find one that was quite good). There is a great selection of wine here, so you can probably find something you like.

This BevMo is not as big as the super monster locations located in strip malls but the customer service was very helpful. I was looking to get some help buying bourbon for a friend’s birthday and needed an explanation as to what the difference was between straight and rye bourbon. They were very helpful in their explanation and I decided on the Knob Creek rye whiskey.
They also helped me track down a 22 oz bottle of Stone Drink By IPA that I was also looking for.
Although I usually don’t like asking for help when I go into BevMo, it felt reassuring to know that the workers at this location definitely knew their stuff.

Racks and freezers full of alcoholic awesomeness? Yup. As with other BevMo’s, great selection of wines, beers and spirits all at reasonable prices.

A store full of alcohol. Whats not to love?

Was running around town looking for a complete case of Joseph Phelps wine. I called several stores and then called Bevmos in Bgame they where very helpful– they had 8 bottles left and helped me located 6 more at the San Bruno location. I got those 8 JP’s and 2 cases of Rombauer, then ran to the SB store to get those other other bottles. They helped by making the process quick and easy. James and another helped me out and made the expirence what it was.
Thanks guys

My quest for Pappy Van Winkle and Ardbeg Super Nova will always continue. Living outside of SF makes it much harder to find things that hard to find there. Failing in this attempt I did however score many cool soft drinks. This place is a soda treasure trove. Things like Fentiman’s Cherry Tree are the type of unusual score I covet. On the El Camino end of Burlingame ave, it sits very lightly trafficked but they do have a bevy of cool hard to find things, even stuff I wasn’t looking for but recognize as finds.

Still have gripes about BevMo’s wine selection/​pricing (not all the wine is really priced all that well), but the spirits section is decent. If you have the club card and keep your eyes peeled for deals, it’s definitely worth it. I got some awesome sparkling wine flutes for $ 14.99! (They were $ 34 on Amazon!)
Bargain hunting and lots of mini bottles.
And the staff is pretty friendly, except this one dude who’s a little snotty about the wine.

Great cust svc on the floor on a Sunday 3÷11÷12 afternoon visit, BevMo in Burlingame! Walking off some brunch eats from Stacks just a few blocks away, found myself here to locate BF’s new fav chardonnay (since our Sugar Café visit in SF). Yes, they had it in stock, $ 9.99 Snap Dragon CA 2007 Chardonnay
Helpful sales assistance on the floor & patient-​pleasant cashier at the register.

Bev Mo has the best, non-​traditional, most original gift ideas (like bacon chocolate bars). This particular location also offers great service. I really appreciated the friendliness of their employees.
With my shiny new BevMo membership card in tow, I decided to invest in a $ 34 bottle of Laphroaig (a gift for myself) as well as a few other gifts for friends like a wine bottle opener, a beautiful two-​year old cab sauv and some cheese twists (another gift for myself). Did you know you can search for your alcohol of choice on the BevMo site before you go to the store? Nothing better than going to a store that HAS exactly what you want, on hold, waiting for you to pick it up.
Easy parking on Burlingame Avenue and love the fact that they are open until 9 pm on most weekdays.

The way to get to my Lovie’s heart is not by food by any means.
It’s by beer. Any kind shall suffice. Just get that fizz to his lips and he’s a happy camper.
So I asked him, «What do you want for your birthday this year?» His response: «All I want is a keg. Not even a full one. Just a half or even a quarter. That’s all I want.»
So my friends and I head over to this BevMo before heading over to get the coveted present. I had reserved a quarter keg of Coors Light in advance. All I had to do is pick it up and pay. Breakdown of the cost:
quarter keg of beer itself: $ 69.99
Keg rental deposit: $ 50
tap rental: $ 30
tub rental: $ 15
cleaning fee: $ 9
Plus taxes, this bad boy sent me over 200 bucks. Luckily, I’ll get my the deposit and rental fees back once we finish the keg. Even after a fun evening spent playing numerous games of beer pong, we still had less than half of a quarter keg left. No worries though. The cost was way worth the amount of fun we had for Lovie’s birthday.

I always come here to get greek beer (mythos) good store location, parking in the back, good service.

Just in case you didn’t know. Nectar in Burlingame has closed down. And how am I just learning this now? I have three cell phones, four email accounts, multiple fax machines and a twitter account and you are telling me that no one could have let me know that Nectar is no longer?
I blame the fall of Nectar on Spain. If it weren’t for them they would not have developed tapas which in turn would have not brought this phenomenon to the United States and ultimately opening a tapas bar right next door to Nectar. Too much competition and their cheap happy hour killed my favorite wine bar in Burlingame.
Well I for one am happy that Switzerland beat Spain in the Copa Del Mundo today!
Bevmo has moved into my neighborhood and I know this will not bode well for the smaller family run wine shops in and around Burlingame. I am one that always prefers to support small business and will do my part to keep shopping down the street. BUT! I gotta tell you, this Bevmo is one of the nicest I have stepped foot in. Plenty of space and some interesting inventory will keep this location on my booze radar.
And for those who are weary of the parking situation, I did notice a private free lot in the rear of the building.

Great addition to the neighborhood… huge store with parking in the back. (Street parking on Burlingame Ave. is tricky.)
Fantastic grand opening events including a wine tasting today – 25 cents got tastes of Thomas Fogarty, St. Michelle, and Stags Leap…@ $ 60/​bottle retail, this has to be one of the best wines by the plastic glass deals ever. Skipped the scotch one… not our thing and they guy sure looked lonely. Also good cheeses – look for more events on Sunday.
Manager said they’ll have weekly beer tastings on Fridays and wine ones on Saturdays. Get on the mailing list for the scoop.
