“We had the most pleasant experience celebrating our anniversary at Baxters! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was absolutely perfect — warm, and beautifully set for a special evening. The owner and servers were incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. The food was delicious — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. To top it all off, they surprised us with a celebratory toast and a song for our anniversary, which made the night even more memorable and special. That personal touch meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Baxters to anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a truly special experience!“

“Comida nueva en promoción“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“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.“

“KARAOKE NIGHTS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Especially Friday night! Huey is an EXPERT KJ!“

“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 !“

“Character's offers a pretty complete menu along with specials at very reasonable prices. You have to eat to drink which is fine as it's the smart thing to do. Come check out their specials and the "hot older chicks"... hahahaha“

“Amazing place. Amazing people. I was staying in the area and wanted to go to a good local bar. Everyone I met there were friendly and chatty. The bartenders were awesome to. I had a really great time here and I hope to stay in the area again soon to go back, if you’re in a motel close. Check this place out!“

“My sister and I went in on a whim. We had no idea that we would leave so wholly satisfied, and we left feeling like we had been guests at an old friend's house for lunch. The authentic warmth of our server, who turned out to be the owner, and the amazingly prepared food combined with the thoughtful, modern decor left us looking forward to our next visit. My sister had her first ever fish taco, and she couldn't stop taking about how delicious it was. Their tortas are also perfectly made. Every customer seemed to be enjoying their meal as much as we were. This family owned and run business offers true foodies an experience not to be missed.“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“Lovely ambiance, great food! Wonderful service! Great place for groups!“

“Finally went to this place. The food was fantastic. Service was great when we first arrived, but after ordering our food is when it began. I did not receive the correct empanadas. The ones I did receive were also great, so I said nothing. The paloma was slow to arrive. My husband's meal did not arrive until we were halfway done with ours. There was no checking in with us, and no offers of more water for our empty glasses. My husband finally got up to get someone for our check. They were apologetic and brought out some churros on the house. My shrimp tacos were amazing, and my son's tzunun salad looked amazing, too. Not sure how often we will be back. The service was not great and eating out is very expensive these days. For the prices paid, some beans or rice with tacos should not be an upcharge. Some chips and salsa should be included as well.“

“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.“

“I went here last year with a group of about 15. Ben was our server and he was so on top of it. It's like he was reading our minds every time he came to our table. Everyone in our party (ages 5-50) was so satisfied with our meal. No complaints at all.

Several of us went back last weekend. We aren't local to Vallejo so we wanted to eat somewhere where we wouldn't be disappointed while we we in town. There was no wait and we were pleasantly surprised that Ben was our server again. He somehow remembered our group and, again, was on top of everything. My 5 month old grandson was with us and Ben's knowledge with keeping infants preoccupied in restaurants was outstanding.

The food... excellent. The atmosphere... excellent. The service... top tier.

If Ben ran for president, I would vote for him“

“Loved it good food nice service“

“Lively place with live music that makes you want to get up and dance“
