Bella Vista Beer Distributors

Bella Vista Bevg Distributor is a wonderful place. The owner and his family are very friendly people and are quite knowledgable when it comes to the products they sell. They are always happy to give a suggestion if you tell them what type of beer you really like. They have a great selection too....full of hearty domestics and imports. They also carry some trial size/gift size packs at the front counter of some really cool microbrews. I would def reccomend this establishment to anyone in the area.

Pros: easy parking....friendly family operated....gr8 selection.....can order special beers 4 u

Cons: none.....

This is probably one ofthe best distributors in the city. Plenty of street parking, tons of variety, great specials and REALLY knowlegeable staff. If you're lucky they have these buy one get half off deals all the time. Im talking good beer, eg. Victory, Magic Hat, Troegs, etc. I don't know how they do it but I'll take it everytime! They seem like they do a lot of deliveries but they still keep their floor shopable for walk in customers. The BEST part of this place is that I can get all of my beverages here. I'll pick up my case of yards and than my case of Orangina and San Pellegrino. This place rocks, now only if than can be open on Sundays. This place is difinitely worth the trip

Pros: Really Clean, Enjoyable staff, Great Specials

Cons: Not open on Sundays

My friends and I shop here all the time. The selection is awesome and prices fair. They're located on a wide street, lots of in front parking, helpful and knowledgable employees, and quick delivery right to your home. Other beer shops in the city are not as clean, they're in unsafe neighborhoods, and have really arrogant staff. I always ask for a price list and compare those to the price cards on the shelves at Bella Vista; if ever there's a dispcrepency on a case I'm buying I bring it to the cashiers attention. I've never been given a hard time nor ever over charged. Maybe it's because I'm so familiar with shopping at Bella Vista Beer Dist (last 15 years since moving to the neighborhood) that I know the price list has precedence. That's not an excuse in not keeping the prices on the shelf accurate, but if someone was charged a $1.00 over on 3 occasions, maybe that's the correct price and we shouldn't be quick to jump to accusations. As far as I'm concerned their actual paper price list, (you can get at the window) is always accurate to the receipt. I can understand how it can be aggravating (i.e. @ CVS a big chain store, their circular will have an item at buy 1 get 1 at 50% off), and there have been so many occasions that I haven't been charged correctly on my receipt. We all need to be educated consumers and from my experience I make things known to the shopkeepers, where ever that may be if there are any conflicting issues. Does this mean that CVS, a national chain, was trying to rip me off? I still say NO! We have to give people the benefit of the doubt and not assume the worst in people. Don't get me wrong I am not a totally naive and trusting individual by any means, but I will say one thing about Bella Vista Beer Dist., it's always a pleasure giving my business to hard working people that are thankful and appreciative.

Pros: Selection, Location, & Helpful Staff

I couldn't beleive it, but it was true. I went there and they over charged me $1.00 for my beer. They were very sneaky about. I made a fuss, then I got some song and dance about a special Tax that doesn't exist. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!

Cons: They over charge for beer and try to get away with it.

I live very very close to this distributorship and on 3 (yes, that's three) occasions the owners (once the dad and twice the son) have charged an additional $1 to the said price. The last time, I did it totally as a "R&D project". Basically, the owners hope you're not paying attention to them ringing up the price of your purchase and tack on an additional $1 (or more, but has only been a $1 on my 3 occasions). I'm certain this has happened on many more occasions to me and many other folks. Hey, this is a business that wants to make money - problem is, I NEVER go there anymore as I don't want to support the crooks. I go elsewhere but wanted to make youre aware and make sure if you do purchase from this place that you MAKE SURE YOU ARE CHARGED THE SAID PRICE. Good luck

Pros: they have beer

Cons: they charge extra for the products without letting the customer know.
