Skip this and go to the Main Street location if you want liquor or wine, or go to Stop-and-Shop if you want beer or seltzer. This location is large and you can find common staples, but for instance when it comes to cocktail bitters, they only carry one or two types (Angostura, maybe one other), which is laughable and frustrates even the staff (why no Peychaud's bitters?). They are also often frequently out of liqueurs I would consider common, such as Midori and Luxardo. Have not been impressed with their beer selection as of late, especially seasonal beers October-December 2023. Really you will have better luck finding beer at Stop and Shop. And oddly they don't carry margarita-style Truly seltzer, but again Stop and Shop does. The staff is friendly and will try to help you; but often times they can't because the store just doesn't stock some items you'd expect them to. So it's ok if you're nearby and need to pick something up, but really would recommend the Main Street location over this (or Stop and Shop). read more

Selection is good. However, prices are not. Guess it is ok if your in a pinch. Expect to pay a meaningful premium vs other options like total wine. Beer on average is ~$5 more per case vs total wine, for example. read more

Seems to have a decent selection and prices are on par with other places in the area. Still prefer Total Wine, but this place is closer. I'm a bit creeped out by the location, it being on the lower level of a garage. It's a bit dark and smelly. The location is convenient when making a stop at the grocery store next door. Just moved to CT and it appears I really need to manage my expectations. read more

I would not go here unless you want to be nickel and dimed on everything. When you are spending over $40 on a single bottle of wine, they will not give you a silver sleeve / bag for free. Shop local and head to one of the other stores in the area. read more

Manager seems drunk and the rest of the staff just ignores you and talks to one another. Good luck finding anything unless you have been there before and you don't need the employees help. read more

I don't know if they read all the bad reviews but I think they have upped their game. If you are needing help ask for Sylvester. He is great and knowledgeable and a really nice guy. I agree with another poster , the selections are very good. The only place better that I know about is Total Wine in Norwalk, but who wants to drive from Stamford to Norwalk to get a bottle? Sometimes yes, but often no. I am happy with BevMax and I am glad they are there. read more

Maybe it's a sign of the times but in this time of COVID when customers brave the environment to support businesses, isn't good customer service the minimal expectation? This afternoon about 2:30pm I approached the clerk with my selections in my own bag and pushed then under the barrier and awkwardly took them out so she could scan them. I asked her if she could please find me some cardboard separators for my bag. She retrieved a few and placed them on the counter and as I awkwardly tried to place them and my bottles in the bag, all while I'm maneuvering my hand under the protective barrier, she played with her phone that was sitting in the register, unconcerned about my challenges to load the bag and place the cardboard separators, despite a growing line behind me. read more

Went there to buy beer about 10 minutes before closing. The employee at the entrance told me no backpacks, asked me to put mine down in the front. I said "sure", then the guy starts giving me crap about how there's a sign on the door, as if I'm going to pay attention to that when I'm rushing to buy stuff before they close at 9 p.m. Rude. So I walked out, and went to Stop and Shop, where the employees were perfectly pleasant. read more

This BevMax is located in the Ridgeway Shopping Center in Stamford. It's pretty conveniently located next to a Stop and Shop. It looks bigger from the outside than the inside, but it has a pretty decent selection of local CT micros, as well as a wine and liquor selection. You won't find anything super rare here but they've got a satisfactory selection. Service is pretty indifferent. The cashiers are polite, and I haven't ever had any of the staff ask me if I've needed help. read more

BevMax - One of many delicious local micros on offer - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

See all

Always good pricing but the manager should have the girls that work the register off there phones. Just a pet peeve of mine when people are on line trying to check out And 1 person is working and the other has her head down on the phone. read more

Why all the bad reviews? It's a fine place - big selection of everything, tons of parking, fair prices. What more do you want from a liquor store, a massage? read more

Don't let the negative reviews fool you, this place is fine. It has a large selection including plenty of local craft beers. It's conveniently right next to Stop & Shop and attached to a large parking garage. read more

Not impressed with this place. Parking, for me, is always a hassle. Never can find a spot on their lot. Cashiers are not overly friendly. I can walk around for days looking for something, and no one will ask me if I need help. I have to look for someone who looks like they work there and ask them. Customer service could be a lot better all around. And I don't like how they have the cashier line going directly into the product isle. If you want something in that isle, you'll have to look between customers who are standing on line. Really?! They really need a better system for their check out lines. read more

I saw with my own eyes someone blatantly walking out of this store in between the security sensors with a case of beer and bottle of liquor. I immediately told the blonde woman at the register and she literally said "meh" ... and continued to ring me up. Really? Management should have a talk with her if you don't want more items being stolen in broad daylight again. read more

The current manager is rude and not helpful. The cashiers are the only good thing about this store. They had good people when they first open. I rather pay more or go out of my way for good service. I will go to the Main Street location or order my stuff online from Drizly. The manager deserves no stars. read more

I'd give zero if I could. I tried to return Stella Artois Hard Cider with the receipt. Manager refused to accept the return insisting it was beer and beer is not returnable. How can the manager of a liquor store not know cider is NOT beer??? read more
