Beverages and More (BevMo!) - La Jolla

This BevMo! location is smaller than most and located on a busy neighborhood corner in La Jolla. The beer selection is typical of the area though smaller. It took a minute to find someone to open the Scotch case for me but I was able to leave with two bottles of Scotch.

Found this store after visiting the La Jolla Brewpub. Great selection of local stuff. Staff was friendly. Since we were flying, could not purchase all the beers we wanted to. Worth the stop.

Ok, parking can be a bit tough on the weekend. I will say this Bevmo has pretty much the best selection I’ve seen from a Bevmo thanks to a seasoned ratebeer member who works here. They stock a nice array of SoCal and San Diego offerings which is just perfect when you’re traveling from out of town. If you’re already in La Jolla it might be worth driving over here and taking a look.

This is one of the smaller BevMos that I’ve been too. Still they had a nice selection of local beers as well as imports.

Honestly, maybe b/c this is an older BevMo, but I’m just not a huge fan of this one. It’s not as well lit as the Mira Mesa one. It seems smaller, with less employees there overall, but it gets more foottraffic being in downtown La Jolla. The prices are typical BevMo, which is generally pretty good, and they have a decent selection, but not as good as Mira Mesa imo. I didn’t really talk to anyone whenI was here last, so I can’t comment on service, but at least the checkout was reasonably fast.

Another bevmo. Solid stuff. Wish they sold singles.

I always have to stop here when in the area, whether it’s frozen yogurt across the street, visiting La Jolla Brewhouse, or Karl Strauss brewery. Nice location, and their prices can’t be beat. Maybe I don’t always leave with something in my hands, but their selection is good enough to keep me coming back, and it changes all the time. Recently bought some Goose Islands there. Worth it.

Nice bottle shop. Good selection, but overall pretty typical for a BevMo. Just around the corner from La Jolla Brewhouse, so check them both out.

With the place being just around the corner from La Jolla Brewhouse, we kind of had to spot. I can’t say we found anything here that was not also at Holiday Wine Cellar where we stopped on the next day, but there is still plenty of interesting beers of the area if you are from abroad, including stuff like bottled Oggi’s, Lost Abbey, Stone, Alesmith etc. Since San Diego does not have a world-class store, if your road takes you by La Jolla brewhouse, there is no reason not to pop in and browse through their 2 aisles of microwbrews. Solid.

A great place to find some beers the other BevMo’s cant seem to get. When Steven was there he would bring in all sorts of random (great) stuff, now he’s in Solana Beach.....lame.
