An alright store with a decent beer selection but not usually anything insanely rare...though it seems that certain things that sell out in San Diego end up staying on the shelves longer here, which makes sense. The mark-up seems excessive at times though, but what ya gonna do. Every time I have a hearing up in Riverside, I usually stop by this place and always end up buying at least a few bottles of something, so I guess that’s a good indication of something good, i suppose.

Good beer wine store in a local riverside neighborhood. Great selection and most available as single bottles. This is the best selection I can find without going all the way to OC. It’s close to Packinghouse brewery too if you’re looking to tie in a visit. They also do online shipping.

La Bodega is known in Riverside as the store which will attempt to get you something if they don’t have it as long as it is available. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Prices have been adjusted on a lot of items to keep them competitive.

Great selecton of beer and wine. It is BevMo for craft beer drinkers... Lots of hard to find beers.

Online order: Placed an order for a few hard to get beers from their easy to navigate website. My order was filled and shipped quickly. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Mr. Samir is also very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you may have.

La Bodega has stepped up their beer selection a HUGE notch. For being pretty much the only beer store in Riverside they have set a fairly high bar. Their beer section is not huge but they pack in a great variety of quality beers. You do not have to wade through a bunch of mediocre selections to find the few gems on the shelf any more. I believe most beer geeks would be happy yo have this store in their back yard.

Very pleasant, clean cozy store with a very nice beer selection, including hard to find stuff like Russian River Consecration and some local stuff like Bootleggers and Krash, not to mention Stone, Alesmith, Lost Abbey/Port, etc. Staff was very knowledgable and friendly. I was able to find a case of new and interesting stuff when I went there. Prices were a little higher than some of the larger stores, but not bad. Certainly worth going to if you’re within 15 miles.

A very nice little shop. You can usually find alot the So. Cal micros here. Not a bad import selection either. Tell the owner what you want and she will try to fill your request.

A decent bottle shop in Riverside. I’ve found a pretty good selection of English and some Belgian beers and on occasion they have some hard to find American brews. Reasonable prices, but slightly higher than Bevmo.
