BevMax is a liquor store described as very nice with great, friendly people and service. It is a great liquor store in town for a wide selection of beer and an extensive selection of beverages overall. The store is noted for being quite big, not quite a typical local liquor store as it is a chain, and is a good place to go if a local store does not have what a customer is looking for. It is also considered quaint and carries quite a bit considering its size, with checkout that is friendly and quick. However, some customers report mixed experiences with specific store policies and staff interactions. One customer expressed frustration with a one bottle maximum per customer rule on a specific bourbon, finding it nonsensical especially during a large purchase. Another customer at the Stratford location had an unfortunate encounter with a particular cashier whose behavior was far from satisfactory, described as rude and sarcastic when responding to a simple request for boxes, creating an unwelcoming environment. This interaction was highlighted as highly disappointing, though it was noted that this one bad apple did not spoil the rest, as another employee was helpful with a welcoming attitude. Despite such incidents, customers generally still recommend BevMax for its wide and extensive selection, while advising management to address customer service issues with specific staff members.
Great store, staff is completely understanding, they allowed me an exchange and I will continue to come here.

Beer selection was below average compared to other Bev Max in Fairfield County. Manager was willing to order what I wanted, but that shouldn't be necessary.
