46 Best Bars near Benicia

“Updated: SO excited they are open for LUNCH! Great food and Michelle provided wonderful service!

I highly recommend Baxters Restaurant! The owners, Ken and Kevin, are great and very friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The food is really good, the place is clean, and the atmosphere is fun, especially the speakeasy room. It’s such a unique and enjoyable experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I've only been here to drink cocktails and beer, and all the times I've been here it's been crowded with excellent bartender services, and they had a great band playing both times. The beautiful bartender with all the tattoos is a goddess.“

“I used to work in this building in the early 1980's at the Bronze Seal coffee shop. It's great to see it still thriving. I remember the original owner Roger Steck. Such great memories growing up in Benicia.“

“Loved the atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty brunch!“

“Goo place to hang out and connect with other Vets.“

“We made reservations there for my Mom's 90th birthday. We had a great time and the staff were very hospitable and available when needed. The only unfortunate thing was that we went there specifically for their Beef Wellington, which is somewhat of a rare find at restaurants. We had a 6:30 reservation and they were already out of it. On a positive note, they said when making the reservation if you let them know that you want the Beef Wellington, they will make sure that there are portions available to you for your dinner reservation. It was nice that they came out and shared a champagne toast as well for my mom's birthday. There were others there for their birthday who were seeing the same toast. It was a very festive environment. The restaurant itself has a dining room and a reservable speakeasy. The dining room was pretty small. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and definitely will come back with a call ahead for the Beef Wellington!“

“Matt was great with service -👍🏼“

“Great food with a great atmosphere“

“Delicious food. Great to find lovely outdoor seating.“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“great people. amazing beer.“

“I didn't have any food, so I went here on a Friday night to meet a friend. I had never been to cricket before and now I wanna go back. This bar Toots is a big part of why I wanna go back, it's an amazingly cool dive bar with a back room stage for live music. Last night when I went it was a punk rock band and they were really good. The crowd as you might imagine was colorful and surprisingly diverse. The bar keep was friendly and on it so my drink was never empty, they had a really good porter on tap and it was always filled completely to the rim where you have to sip the top down just to pick it up. I wish I had stayed longer to see how the scene goes, my feeling is it's a great place to hangout on a Friday night, and if you happen to get bored there's like another bar a block or so away you can go between. I saw several small groups of peeps just hanging out together up n down the main drag. Parking might be an issue so either go early or Uber. I loved it!“

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“Hi from Kristiansand,Norway. My sister Elynn took me there a few years ago and every time I come to visit it's a must to go see Moe and some of the friends there that I have gotten to know. Was there February 2025. Greets from Norway.“

“We were greeted warmly and offered any table we desired. Had a late lunch of a tasty crab sandwich and a crisp, fresh Caesar salad. We will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. Such a warm cozy place to visit! Thank you Chef!“

“This place is so so good. I have NEVER had a bad dish here. Fast service, freshest ingredients and very cool employees. And reasonable prices! Do yourself a favor and check them out. Will be no regrets!“

“First time going in and the place is bigger than it looks outside. The bartenders are super nice and welcoming. Mostly locals that frequents the place. Seems everyone know each other. Very laid back with outdoor area for pingpong or card games to dominoes and 5 dice, wow! Inside is a jukebox, a dart board game. Over by the corner they have video games. 1 pinball and 1 bowling game. If your not interested with the games they provide, I can almost garantee that someone there will find you and engage in a long but good conversation. The walls and ceiling is draped with one dollar bills all over inside. Interesting to see and count. I'd say there's about 2356 dollars in one dollar bills but not up for the taking.“

I was on top of the benches with a girl named Andrea and the way they cheered me on, the love and support I felt - was so amazing!!!!! Me and my friends had so much fun and we are not from the area and we felt so welcomed and loved. I had the GREATEST time ! Thank you so much. It was such a girls night at a beautiful place“

“Great sitting and nice clean movie theatre 🎥🎥🎥“

“Nu-Rays is a town icon with history. It's the kind of bar locals visit frequently and share stories at great prices on beverages! If you're looking for low lights, friendly bar tenders, and great prices this is your kind of bar. 🥃🍺🍸🍹

Parking: First come first served metered street parking and a few lots with meters.“

“Always a fun time, if you havent tried it its worth a stop. Coffee shop by day, bar evenings thurs-sun. They have an awesome Happy hour on thursdays at the time of review (5$ beer, 7$ mixed drink if I recall right?). If I do get a mixed drink, this is the place to get it. Pictured is the egg white sour. They do breakfast, but not dinner foods durinb bar service. Also, as a plus, they usually don't have live music, so you can actually hear the other person you're talking to.“

“It was a great positive experience and true local hidden gem! Come say hi to the owner Ann, tell her I sent you.“

“What we’ve had food-wise here has been just dessert and it’s pretty good. Coffee is great! I like the vibe this place has and what they are trying to accomplish. It’s cool they support different DJs and depending on the evening you will get a different set of music. Staff is friendly but you can tell there’s one guy back there preparing everything so be prepared to wait. They seem pulled quite thin. Prices are what you’d expect. It’s not cheap but not over the top IMO. I will say we’ve been approached to and from our car in this neighborhood by a variety of folks probably who are harmless but be aware of your surroundings. I definitely don’t mind 420 vibes but wish they wouldn’t allow people to smoke right outside the door since it hits you constantly while you’re sitting near the door. Seating is hit or miss. We have arrived right after opening thinking about having a full meal here only to find no seating so we will grab a coffee and go. This is why we’ve yet to try their main food. There’s never seating inside and it’s too hot lately to sit outside. If a large group comes in and takes up all the seating you are SOL. It’s worth trying and we will continue to support for sure but there’s always room for improvement. Nice to see this in Vallejo. Just wish there was more seating so we could experience it more and hang out. The one time we did arrive and found seating for once, we had dessert and it was a perfect after dinner stop!“

“I have been there twice and plan on returning when I have the time. There is A small bar and a pool hall with ten regulation sized tables and two bar tables. They also have a juke box and a pinball machine. There are multiple televisions on the walls usually showing sporting events. They also have pool tournaments a couple of nights a week. The staff are friendly and treat you well. Check thier website for the times they are the busiest and prices. If you enjoy playing pool and sports its a good place to go. I have been playing pool for many years and have added a video of myself doing one of the few trick shots I learned over the years. If your in the area and like p ml aying pool its a good place to go. Have a great day, be safe, be smart abd have fun!“

“Very beautiful atmosphere lovely people! Pool table for tournaments and fun, cards as well. Serves wine and beer, smoking outside with seating, also bar cat comes around here and there and I think it's the best. Will most definitely come more often! I give this place five stars.“

“Located at The Veranda in Concord, the restaurant has a bright, clean, and upscale setting.

We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp, Maui Salmon, and Lobster Garlic Noodles. All three dishes were nicely presented and tasted good. We especially enjoyed the Lobster Garlic Noodles, which were pretty flavorful.

Overall, a nice dining experience. We’ll definitely come back to try some of the other interesting items on the menu!“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Nice place to hang out and watch some live music. Was there to play the club with my band Midnight Sinfini. The sound system wasn't high tech so the sound could have been better but was a really fun place to play a show. I would consider playing here again.“

“While I hate to cheat on Martinez, CJ's is a larger, more sophisticated but not too, version of our once Ferry Street and a far less dysfunctional version of Whiskey Lane, the latter of which I frequented to write until I found CJs where you can meet new great people, or sit in your corner and write. All folks are good folks at CJs. And that's my run on sentence on that matter.“

“Great food and friendly staff. This place has raised the bar for a night out in Martinez!“

“We stopped by this bar while in the area and it was a pleasant surprise. The drinks, the food were all top notch! My favorite was the Shrimp tacos and the whiskey flight. I got the whiskey flight named eagle rare off the menu which was pretty nice to sip as we all sat by the fireplace outside. Hops & Scotch has both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of parking spots around the surrounding area. The staff was awesome and friendly will definitely come here again whenever we are in the area.“

“Bartenders are great and very friendly! They are on it to serve more drinks and very attentive! Been coming every evening. Highly recommend ! Police station near by but never any problems there ! Patrons friendly as well make you feel at home! Not to mention the drinks have better prices than any bar in town

Parking: There’s always parking and if there’s not can always park in the street !“
