9 Best Beer Bars near Benicia

“This little wine bar is cozy, great service & ambiance. I was meeting up with a friend and showed up super early to our reservation so I popped into The Chill and tried the Riesling and Zin. Both were delish. Sat near the window & truly enjoyed the vibes here. No frills, no fuss just "chill" as the name suggests.“

“We stayed in Vallejo back in September for our Napa trip and I am just now getting around to leaving all of my reviews. We stopped in here for a couple of beers and food after we arrived in Vallejo because we had an hour or so before we could check into our airbnb. It was nice because it ended up being just a couple of minutes from the airbnb! They had a very nice selection of beers to choose from. We ordered our drinks and food and then sat outside on the patio to get some sun. They had a lot of plants growing in planters all around, so it was pretty despite it only being a multi-level deck. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the beers even better. A lovely neighborhood spot for some drinks and snacks.“

“My first time trying Indian food and for sake of playing it safe I only ordered chicken tiki masala and garlic naan and basmati rice. The food was absolutely delicious. Served hot and full of flavor. I asked for mild to medium tiki masala and it was perfect . The garlic naan had right amount of garlic and toasted perfectly. I look forward to trying out more items. I ordered take out and person that answered phone is same person that I met and was very friendly and provided quick service. My order was correct packaged well. The restaurant looked very clean nicely decorated.“

“I’ve been waiting for a high quality, good tasting, family friendly brewery to arrive in the deep east bay ( Martinez, concord, Walnut Creek, Pittsburgh, Dublin etc) to drink at after our family outings in the area and it finally arrived. All the other ones were just not good beer or service.From my understanding this brewery is originally from Tracy and opened this as a second location and all I have to say is thank the hop gods it’s here. Large menu featuring all sorts of beers from IPA more malt flavored, and even traditional German,English, and Scottish.The inside is nice and the local area is very classy and safe. The inside can be a tight squeeze for families and kids but we always see other families there for my kids to play with as well as having a park/ fountain connected right next door and a little outdoor seating area.If you want food there is lots of options nearby that they will allow you to bring in or order on the app but they don’t serve it themselves.The staff is always friendly and has great customer service. This has quickly turned into one of my favorite breweries in such a short time. Highly recommend!“

“I intended on trying something new and ordered the Salmon Caperi. I just had an unexplainable taste for something that the dish Perfectly satisfied. Great atmosphere for a stormy day made for a perfect silver lining as well. Divine dining!!“

“This past Saturday, November 18th, we spent the day at Rotator Taproom enjoying a beer and pizza, knowing Arf was going to be there with dogs for adoption. Fast forward, we adopted the sweetest little senior chihuahua and named her Amanda Marie. She's adjusted beautifully and our chihuahua Kobe that we rescued 7 years ago is being the best big brother.We are a family of 4 now.The beers were yummy too!!Great day, thank you Rotator Taproom“

“Have been here twice and it's so fun! Really great interior and outside little patio that looks out to Todos Santos Plaza. They have a great rotating selection of beer with lots of different choices - IPAs, lagers, blondes, ciders etc. The staff is really friendly and they have a membership option with your phone number. I really want to check out their Tuesday night trivia and food but so far have had only great beers here! Street parking isn't too bad for a downtown area and surrounding area has lots of food and the park is just across the street too.“

“I finally went to Hillside Martinez Tap Room & Eatery in Martinez. It's right by the Amtrak Station as you enter the Martinez Marina. It's a great spot to watch the trains while you enjoy a sausage, hot link, or dog. You can enjoy one (or two) of their 12 rotating beers, a froze, or a slushy. Today, I tried the peach mango slushy made from scratch with real fruit. It was so good! They're super friendly there; the service was excellent. The remodel made my jaw drop; they did a FANTASTIC job! I opted for the Hillside dog. A hot link topped with sweet relish, onions, jalapeños, mustard, celery salt, cheese, and a dill pickle spear. It was a great dog! The combination of the hot link with pickle spear and pickled jalapeños was so good! Their rolls are excellent; they are so soft and tasty. I learned that they get their bread from a family bakery; they prefer to purchase all of their ingredients in small batches to support other small businesses. I wish they had sub sandwiches on those rolls, too; they're so good! When visiting Hillside Martinez Tap Room & Eatery, you can either build your own custom 1/4 lb. sausage dog or select one of their custom creations. I've read some negative remarks about the pricing, but I think when you factor in the premium ingredients they use, plus those other pesky costs like rent, utilities, staff, etc., they're not extreme. The build-your-own option features seven different sausage options, including hot links, bratwurst, polska kielbasa, Italian, pineapple, cajun or beef frank. Then you pick from 24 different regular topping options included in the sausage's price. The most expensive sausage was $11. The premium toppings like chili, bacon, slaw, grilled onions and peppers, melted cheese, and guacamole are $1-2 each. The specialty dogs range in price from $12-$15.50, including those premium toppings. Heck, the most expensive dog is the Pastrami Dog at $15.50, and it has a 1/4 lb. beef frank, pastrami, grilled onions, and melted cheese; this might be my next dog. When I was leaving I started chatting with the young lady who initially took my order. Turns out it was Casey, the owner. She introduced me to Preston, her partner, the chef, and the guy who did the amazing remodel! She told me they love to work with local businesses; she creates the signage for the rotating taps, and GLT Signs across the street print them, which they source from other small businesses. They use fresh ingredients; she makes all the syrups and ingredients for the slushes and froze. She also said they're looking forward to getting the outdoor space opened for outdoor dining and live music. Really nice local Martinez peeps. Current Hours: Wed-Sun 11am-8pm Menus are in the photos“
