BevMo used to be known for its excellent selection of wines, beers and spirits from around the world, many small labels not found anywhere else. BevMo is now a glorified gas station market with rows of chips. canned foods, cleaning and beauty products. I get it, owner GoPuff is just giving the people what they want but its depressing to see the end result. Overheard this conversation-- Customer--."where's the Cognac"? Clerk: -- "what's that, a beer"? At a minimum your staff should know about the main product you sell .....or you can continue circling the drain and see where that takes you!

It's nice to find a place where the staff remember and recognize their regular/recurring customers and are quick to point out when they've gotten something new in stock that they think you're going to like. I also love that Tom is committed to providing high quality bourbons without playing any of the crazy games every other smaller family owned shop in Northern California seems to have fallen in to. Literally every other store I walk in to has decided to buy up all the highly allocated and hyped stuff and quadruple (or more) the MSRP in order to maximize profit without any concern for people who actually enjoy quality whiskey. Bourbon isn't supposed to be crazy expensive!! Tom makes sure they have an excellent selection of quality bourbon that doesn't require you to pay crazy inflated prices. Thank you guys for your commitment to taking care of your customers!
