BevMo!

I feel like a kid on Christmas when I come to BevMo, yes that sounds horrible, but hey it’s fun for me to see all the different varieties of alcohol! I always enjoy stopping by when I’m in the area to hit up Sprouts farmers market next door and catch my Club BevMo deals, which are usually pretty stellar compared to major union run grocery stores. They have some pretty wild and whacky stuff here, so I’d suggest taking your time and scour the entire store. I will also say the employees always seem cheerful and are extremely helpful when it comes to finding items and even suggesting their favorites.

Ian is the best to work with, ever. We made an appointment, and he was so accommodating. He even shooed away other people trying to get attention during our assigned time. He gave phenomenal recommendations, and even suggested buying some options cheaper at Costco. Who does that? I even found a coupon after I paid, which he honored in retrospect. The caterer reviewed his list, suggested revisions, and Ian updated them on the fly!
Also, the alcohol was delivered timely and exactly what we ordered. We would totally use this place again. Free delivery for $ 500+ purchase ain’t bad!

I have been looking all over for a bottle of 15 year aged Linkwood for my brother for Christmas with no luck. I finally stopped into Petaluma Bevmo yesterday at the height of holiday shopping time. Your employee, Alex, was extremely helpful and friendly and helped me find a few other gifts as well, even though it was a very busy day. He was nice and funny and genuinely interested in finding me what I needed. Customer service is a lost art nowadays and I just thought you all should know what a gem you have there. Even though I am closer to the Novato Bevmo, the vibe and attitude of the Petaluma employees was great so I will be coming to this location everytime!

I was pleased to find the sparklings I wanted at a discount. However, when I asked about specific varieties of red wines, I was looking at shelves and shelves of wine with no idea what to buy. The employee didn’t know much either. This place can be overwhelming!

Came here the other day to buy some Gin. It was a specific brand (a very well known national brand) I asked about it — the guy insisted to me that this brand only makes vodka! (um. no. I am 100% sure they make Gin, infact I had a bottle and was wanting another…) and then he basically inferred that I didn’t know the difference between the two spirits!
I walked out. Shaking my head.
I will not be coming back here, unless every other liquor store in a 30 mile radius closes.

Helpful, wonderful sales people! They’re willing to help you find whatever you want. They almost always have it. Their prices are great! Hard liquor especially. I wouldn’t get wine there, unless you like the well known commercial ones. Not that much selection in wines. But Beer up to the ceiling, they have it! Mixers too. Great selection on Vodka and Whiskey and Brandy.

Stopped by on the way camping and they have a great selection!!! Plenty of microbrews and wine from all over. Located in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking.
The keg selections were small but you can just call in and they will order what you need. I will use them again!

BevMo! is in the new commercial strip slightly off E. Washington. (visible from freeway) lots of chain stores opening in this new commercial strip.
doesn’t matter to me what the store looks like, i’ve got my m.o. go for the items on «special», don’t pay regular price.
brew: «Port Brewing-​Wipe Out» (4.79, save 1.5 w/​card)
–5 different hops, 7.5% alc. strong brew, bitter of course with all the hops.
4+ stars.

–associates always cordial at BevMo!

I drive from Rohnert Park to get my wine and sake here. The staff is very knowledgeable and makes great recommendations. Paul gave us a tasting of his featured wines and also shared some great stories.

Bev Mo, where you go when you want to get mo bevs. :D
I go to local wineries for wine, but I come here for good price on spirits and import wines and german beers.
Always well stocked, clean, with a helpful staff. Great stock. Lots of extras, like glassware, bar ware, cigars, and snacks. Ooh… I love the huge selection of mini bottles. I like to get minis and try out stuff. One day I want to fill a piñata with them and have a grown up party!
Most people focus on the nationally advertised sales, but I find that they are a pretty good value daily.

Stopped in for a few things, was greeted by Ian. Extremely helpful and knowledable about various spirits, cigars and such. Will be coming back! Store is very clean and welcoming staff.

Good selection of local beer and wine, actually very impressive craft beer selection. Price point is little higher than some other vendors in the area but the selection is there for sure.

First and foremost, I want to explain that I am a native of Petaluma, live on the West Side, and value our hometown locally owned businesses. I’m glad to see that this store is managed by a well known local and it appears that he values hiring local employees too. Nothing turns me off more than when a chain comes into a town and then hires people from outside the area, so nice job keeping it local.
Even though I will always shop at the local liquor stores first… I do love having this BevMo! in my backyard, instead of having to drive to Novato when I need something that I can’t get locally.
So, what sets this store apart from the other BevMo! s? Only a few minor things… and that is good, and is exactly the point. If you like shopping at BevMo! this one will not disappoint. First, it is layed out pretty much like normal, and has all the great selection and sale prices as you normally find at a BevMo! What’s different is that they have a big wine tasting area in the center of the back wall, where many of our local wines are highlighted. They have a great selection of Ports (my drink of choice), including things that I can’t buy at other stores. They also have all the fun gift type stuff up front, including Lagunitas glass, which are a must for any home bar. The staff is friendly, although obviously it will take a little while for them to get their bearings, so give them some slack.
Although I missed it on my initial visit, Michael B (another Unilocal Elite member) told me that they do in fact have some of the local Petaluma wines, such as Azari Vineyards and Keller Estates… both excellent locally grown and produced wines. I guess I was overwhelmed by all the great selection my first time through but since that time have been back and saw all of the «local» tabs highlighting our local wines.
I hope that BevMo! seriously consider is getting involved in the community. One of the things that makes Petaluma such a great place to live is that local shop owners are heavily involved in the community. If BevMo! wants to earn our respect, and our business, they should strive to get involved. Until they do, my first stops before going to BevMo! will always be Vine & Barrel (downtown) and Willibees (Lakeville and D Street.) who both sponsor local events and donate to local charities.
Overall, I’m happy BevMo! is here in town and feel they have exceeded expectations by putting together a great shop, with local products, staffed by locals, and will hopefully be involved in local events.
