BevMo!

Who was that chick that was doing the wine/​beer tasting on saturdays last year. she was hella hot though. Holllaattchhhooo boy one time! Whatccchooo nammeee, whatttchooo sign tho??!

The staff here are professional, friendly, and helpful and as far as I am concerned all Bevmo managers in training in North County San Diego should come here to see how a beverage business should be run. Even now that I live in Vista, I take the time to come here, since the customer service is so good. Thanks!

Place is always clean. Aisles are organised by category of liquor. Makes things easy. Shelves are always stocked. They have a variety of alcohol your sure to find the one you like or even try something new. Came in yesterday looking for the 5¢ wine deals some of the wines that qualified had a sign if you buy the 1^st it’s regular price and second one is 5,¢ which is helpful. You don’t have to guess which ones qualify it’s right there for you. Did a tasting for $ 2 they have a menu or you can ask the person working the area what they will be sampling. Usually it’s a combination of beers, wine and a soda or tea. If you buy anything worth $ 10 your tasting is free. Instead of wine I decided to try a belching beaver great lei pineapple ipa, and got 2 mini shots of vodka. I received a $ 2 off coupon from the tasting area, I used it on my purchase and still made it within my minimum $ 10 so I didn’t have to pay for the taster.

Came here to pick up a few little things for a friends 21^st. Got a few mini bottles and called it a day. Overall the store is super organized and the staff are very knowledgeable. I’ve been here a few times before but the staff this time was not very friendly. No one said hello or greeted me and they man checking me out was pretty silent and seemed annoyed the entire time. Four stars for pretty substandard customer service. Can’t knock the store itself.

Below average BevMo! with tons of special release IPAs not in the fridges but Mexican pale lagers of course are taking up the minimal fridge space. Okay selection of wine and liquor, missing a lot of top producers. They had Pizza Port cans and Stone Enjoy By, not none were refrigerated so scrolled past. You need to check the bottling dates on everything here because THEY STOCK OLD, EXPIRED BEER and sell it for full price. Staff was there but not helpful beer wise. On the plus side, they did offer to order my wife more cans of her favorite soda, Cheerwine. But I can just buy it on Amazon.

Bottom Line: Wine, Beer, Booze, Set-​Ups and Snacks served in a large and well organized store but customer service is hit or miss.
Overall, I really like BevMo. They have a large selection of wine, beer and booze. The San Diego beer selection here is decent but it good to note, that unlike other BevMo stores, it is organized by Brewery (Belching Beaver, Green Flash, etc.) rather than by type (Stouts, Cider’s, etc.) And although I am not a huge wine drinker, I always want to stock up on wine here during the five-​cents wine sale. (Buy one bottle of wine and the second is five-​cents.)
If you are provisioning your bar or hosting a party, BevMo is a great place to look for setups including fun cocktail napkins, disposable wine glasses, frilly toothpicks and other things you didn’t think you need. They also have some good drinking snacks. I personally love the wide array of plastic «airplane bottles» of booze because they are great for stuffing inside of my adult pinatas. (You never know what is going to fall out of one my pinatas when you give it a whack but it is always good stuff!)
This store is more densely than the Encinitas location but it is still well organized and not overwhelming. Also, I like that this location can easily stick my out of state ID in their scanner and it doesn’t take summoning management to determine I’m 15 years over the legal drinking age while holding up the line.
Staff here is friendly but a a little lazy. My member card wasn’t coming up in the system and instead of getting me a new card, he told me I wasn’t going to save more than a few dollars on the transaction anyway. Sigh. Lazy.

Great selection of any kind of booze! Love the craft beer and on some days they have free tastings with a purchase of $ 25 or so.

Great prices selection and service …
It’s the best discount beverage place around !!

This place is a rip off. Loyalty card is required unless you want to pay above msrp. Our experience with the cashier Ben was unsavory. Would recommend temperance or alternative intoxicants to this predatory retailer. A loyalty card should not be mandatory for decent pricing. The largest retailer in the world doesn’t utilize one (Wally world), nor the best liquor store ever (Total Wine). T Wine also has lower prices, a much better selection, and a more highly trained staff.
The bummer is the person paying in our party did sign up for a loyalty card. But since it was just a couple days ago, it wasn’t in their system. That is somewhat understandable. However, instead of just swiping a loyalty card for us like at many a grocer, Ben just gave us the jerk off pricing. To be clear I am not exaggerating, the price on each item went up by a minimum 25%. Kahlua that was 14.99 went up to 20.99, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed went from 10.99 to 14 and some change a six pack.
Ben did not bother to offer anyone else in the party the benefits of signing up for a card. Our socially awkward patron hurriedly paid and left since he doesn’t like to be a pain. We frequented this place every night we were in Oceanside, but now we know to smuggle our booze or just go anywhere else. Seriously go anywhere else, even if it means driving these life threateningly crowded freeways many miles out of your way. This sounds extreme if you think about it, but stop thinking and just picket this terrible place. Price gouging has no place in the modern retail ecosystem. This place sucks, just in case anyone skips the wordy reviews for the gist of it.

GREAT selection! Only place I could find locally that carries Boodles Gin, and a few sizes ta boot! Nice. Great prices. Before I went for the 1^st time, I joined their online club and brought a printout of my club #, and turned my $ 22 sale into $ 17! Are you kidding me?! love it. I’ll be back… once I sober up. ;-)

This location has a nice big selection and some of the folks here are very well read on wine and spirits.
Some of the people that work here don’t have any clue what they are doing, and have no tact. I find myself educating the people selling me spirits and wine more often then I would like.
Also, when I ask for an expensive bottle from the case, or if they can order something pricey, announcing loudly that «wow you must be rich to drink that» does not make me feel comfortable.

Beverage More is right. Huge selection. They have everything.

It pains me to write a poor review for such a magical place, but they have left me no choice.
I do not drink, but my husband’s blood is comprised of 50% Jameson, so we spend a lot of time and money here. A few visits ago, I accompanied him into the store. I did not bring my purse in. Upon checking out, I was asked for my ID. I told the lady it was not on me, and she wanted me to go get it out of the car. Mind you, I wasn’t paying, and made a specific point to not touch the alcohol or load it onto the counter, as I know they are understandably sensitive about alcohol transactions and possible minors. When I asked her why she needed it, she said «Because you look like you are going to partake». Excuse me? When I am at DSW buying heels, they don’t recommend 5″ because I look like I might be a stripper. When I questioned the store policy on ID’s, she then changed her story to she needed my ID simply because I was in the store. Huh? I got a little loud at this point. Luckily, we were in a big hurry and she just kind of laughed it off. Typically, I would have asked for a manager in a situation like that. Ironically, while this was going on there was a 10 year old girl unloading a ton of alcohol from her dads cart right behind my husband.
Also, for as much money as I spend here, it would be great to get more than a 5% reward for every $ 250 I spend. And, they make that difficult, because you have to present the coupon rather than just being able to have it applied by looking up your phone or email. I guess they figure they have the alcohol market cornered and so they don’t offer greater rewards (like, 20% off or $ 10 of $ 75).
Lastly, their beer collection here is dismal compared to the Encinitas store.
I am sure I will be back since it is the closest store to me, but BevMo, get your act together.

I love this place. Costumer service is great. Prices are good, especially the Templeton Rey. Great piece for, their Scotch collection is even better. Please keep up the goods.
I will always come for the Templeton Rey and the Scotch.

I am a pretty big fan of alcohol in general, so I in turn am a big fan of Bevmo! This location is close to my house, the employees in general are friendly and helpful, the selection is vast, the prices can be good. Obviously during the 5 Cent Wine Sale there are deals to be had, although the wines sometimes are just so-​so. Not that I really care, I am a wine drinker, but not a huge wine snob. But you are snobby about it, I would imagine the «best» vintages are not being sold for 5 Cents for the second bottle. Just an educated guess.
They have Ginger Beer, and since Moscow Mules are all the rage, you can get that here. They also have DIET Ginger Beer which is amazing in my book.
I have a Bevmo rewards card, I have no clue what all the points do for me. I suppose I should look into that, maybe there’s a bunch of free booze waiting for me if I cash in my points.

Love their selection of mini alcohols. They have a huge circular rack with mini versions of all your favorites. Stalk up for your airplane rides or baseball games!
Plus 5 cent sales are THE BEST!

Lots to choose from. A little confusing on first visit. But after you been here a few time you get the hang of it. Was surprised to find out they didn’t have what I was looking for. I was looking for the new Malibu Spritzer they have been advertising all over tv. But the manager said it usually takes them at least a month to get it in. But they said seeing as it’s a Malibu product they will most likely carry it and to check back soon.
Lucky most friendly people and willing to help you find what your looking for.

When it comes to good deals on wine, this is the place to be!
Normally, its a great place to educate yourself on your booze so I always come in with tons of questions and spend countless minuets skimming through all the aisles reading all the labels of the bottles.
I like the fact that they sell shooters as well, cause sometimes you just cant sneak in a whole 750ml bottle of alcohol into an event haha.
Customer service is always great here, even on the phone. I made a call to several stores to get prices and they were friendly and quick.
A tip: Dont buy from here expecting youll get a better deal, youll only get good deals on wine and most of the time they do a 1 cent wine deal which is AWESOME!!!

I don’t know if this truly is the cheapest place to buy alcohol and goodies, but I do know all the employees I’ve talked are WAY helpful. They always give me recommendations for beers for my man. I know nothing about it, just what he likes, so they’re very sweet to offer suggestions.
They really do make the place worth visiting, as strange as that sounds ;) I know if I have questions or am looking for something in particular, they will help me out!
This is what customer service is all about!

The prices aren’t great but the selection is really good.
The staff is nice and helpful.
Could use an expansion on the natural/​organic options.
