BevMo!

As a store: The store basically has everything. For the typical to the seasonal.
The employees: I’ve been in there probably 15 times and it bothers me is that no matter if the store has quite a few customers or not, I always walk in and there’s a cluster of employees gossiping and playing on their phones. It’s rude and off putting. I also find most of them knowledge-​less about their products. Fortunately for me I know enough about booze I don’t need to ask many questions but when I do the lack of insightful answers is concerning how these people work in alcohol Meca not knowing their products.
P. s. I’ve recently discovered SAFEWAY has a great selection and BETTER prices not to forget nice, not fake, people there to actually help you.

Bev Mo is like the Fred Meyer of liquor stores. What’s on your list today? You’ll find it at Bev Mo. Beer? Check. Wine? Check. Mixers? Check. Barware? Check. Those overpriced little bottles of liquor you can put in your quart-​sized ziploc bag and take with you on the airplane? Check. Rolling Stones Vodka in a skull-​shaped crystal bottle and kept under lock & key in the «pricey spirits» case? Check.
Yes, B-​Mo pretty much has it all. They’re your one-​stop shop for that big party, that romantic date, or that vow you’ve made to start making exotic cocktails in your spare time. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and they even have a growler fill area with the best prices in town (sorry, though, no tastes allowed). On Fridays they have a free wine/​beer/​cider tasting. And if you’re getting married you can schedule a private tasting (they are super good about working within your wedding budget, too).
My only beef is that their prices are high, especially on wine. Join their free club, though, for discounts.

I will not be back! I take growlers to be filled there and all the sudden one day they stopped doing taste tests. They said it was something to do with corporate (shrugs shoulders) whatever I will just drive down to glens Irish pub to continue getting Irish death on the weekends.

I’m not an alcoholic, but this place could very well turn me into one. I ended up here in a roundabout way, in search of a gin that I failed to pick-​up for a friend in San Francisco recently. We returned to Vancouver from Frisco by way of B’ham and a family friend recommended we take a look at this liquor superstore. I can understand why this Behemoth may be a turn-​off for some people, and I do find it more satisfying to fill my growler at a craft brewery than at a corporate entity, but BevMo! is a great resource if you are looking for something specific… especially if you live just over the border. I not only found the Bluecoat gin I was looking for, but I also picked up some beef jerky chocolate to boot.

If you’ve never been to a BevMo! («Beverages & More») you’ll be loving this little Disneyland of bevvies. The variety is really amazing. There is every kind of libation imaginable plus all the accouterments that go along with them. If you’re throwing a party, you might want to make this your first stop and it might be your only stop.
This is their opening weekend (April 13^th 2013) so there is wine tastings and snack sampling.
The prices are comparable for the most part but we did find some of the same products at TJ’s for 1.50 less. The beauty of BevMo! lies in having everything under one roof.
Also, the variety of gluten free beer is pretty impressive in itself and we’ll definitely be returning when we have more than 12 below the 49^th.
