I was ignored from the moment I went into there until I left. They had a selection and some decent prices, but apparently, they are left over from the part of San Pablo who really isn't into the race mixing. Someone was working on a spreadsheet? or something on the computer at a desk behind the platform where the cashier was standing. I was clearly looking, but when the bare minimum, "Hello, welcome. Can I help you look for something?" the floor becomes the making of something fancy, then something was wrong. I had one more stop to go after this. I was working too hard to find a drink to pair with my meal. The couple there remind me of the racists who ignore you. They don't call you names or look at you funny. I thought it was odd, because I thought that they'd want my money. I even found a good bottle of wine for a deal, but I don't knowingly spend my money with such people, so I left. Also, the desk, which was almost in the middle of the sales floor was strewn with papers and a real mess. That should never be shown to the public. I don't know why I'm helping them, but clearly these people never went to charm school, which is where I'd send them to learn some manners.

I have been exploring their selection of Whiskey and Bourbon lately and I found one that I truly do not like. In fact, it shouldn't sit on the same shelf as Takamine! This Whiskey/Bourbon is NO WHERE NEAR the same class as Takamine. PLEASE!!!! Put this down lower with the cheap Bourbon's as it will never compare with the "TOP SHELF" bourbon you sell at your fine establishment. It has no flavor profile. It is not unique. It does not make you think you are reborn. It is not a top shelf bourbon. I am open to discussions...

Purchased a couple of pounds of drumsticks and wings from the meat counter yesterday afternoon…read more Took them home only to find out they both smelled bad. Rinsed the wings thinking maybe it was just blood, but nope they were bad, drumsticks too. Put them both back in their original packaging and that into zip lock bags as to not funk up our fridge so I could take them back the next day. When it was my turn at the counter I quietly told them what was going on as to not make a scene in front of other customers about their funky chicken. They opened the bags counted out the drumsticks and gave me the same number of fresh ones that smelled good so I was happy with that. The replacement "fresh" wings on the other hand stunk as bad as the ones that I was returning. Not sure who's buying these funky wings, it's a head scratcher. Now here's where it got weird the only other option was a refund for the wings but the receipt wasn't in the bag like I thought. All 4 butchers behind the counter had a conference and a phone call was made about how these $9 worth of wings with their original sticker still on the bag were going to be returned. After the phone call I was reprimanded as to they'd do it this time but next time I have to have the receipt to which I replied well maybe next time you won't have a problem with your chicken. The entire vibe from everyone there was that I was wrong and they were doing me a favor. He repeated the line about the receipt again and I repeated my line about the funky chicken and pointed out that they could of least said sorry for the inconvenience, but nope wasn't happening. Needless to say it won't be a next time. The bad chicken wasn't that big of a deal, things happen but they couldn't of handled the situation any worse..

Welp, I came in again finally. Last time I was in here was 2023 (I left up my last review so you…read morecould see I was a fan of this place). Had a lot of beers left over from before Covid so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I've been trying to come back here for the last 4 weeks. Came by 4 times. The first three times it was closed - during open hours. The first time they had a sign "family emergency" which is understandable. The last two times I came by during open hours and they were just closed. Not acceptable. I'm guessing other people who kept coming by during open hours only to find them close will not come back again. Today, October 31, 2025 was going to be the last time - if they were closed again I would not come back. They were open. I went in and looked at the beers. There's a lot of really dirty bottles in the fridge. I pulled a Knee Deep out and looked at the date. It said 2015. I thought maybe it was so dirty I wasn't reading it right. Pulled out another one. 2015. Pulled out some other bottles. More from 2015 and 2016. We're in 2025. This is not a typo or a gag. He's selling beers from 2015. And he's selling this at full price. 7 bucks a pop. IPAs have a shelf life. Imagine getting a bottle of Knee Deep Citra home that you paid 7 bucks for and getting the tasteless, flat, bad water you're going to have with a ten year old bottle of beer. Kept looking. Found one 4 pack that was from May of this year - that was it. That was the only one I could find of the beers I looked at that was semi-recent. Some of the stuff had no date - knowing they sell decade old beer I would not buy any of it. Then I found one four pack that was from 2014. 2014. Eleven years ago. This is not a typo. He sells beer from 2014 in 2025 as fresh, full priced beer. IPAs. Never again. This is a place called "BOTTLES" who's main deal is his craft beer. And he's selling decade old beer at full price (shouldn't be selling decade old beer at any price). I used to be a big fan of this place - now I just want to warn people - if you go here for beer - look at the dates. And if you get a chance, sort the reviews here on yelp for Bottles by stars and look at the other one star reviews. All the one star reviews are the same as mine - complaining about old beer. But these are all from 2019 and before. So this guy was doing it back then - and the beers I'm seeing here today are probably the same beers these people back in 2019, 2018, 2017 were complaining about - still in the freezer. I give Bevmo crap for selling year old beer. Imagine selling 11 year old beer at full price. Unethical and incredibly bad business. Never again.
