9 Best Bar & Grill near Concord

“Awesome place to get a sense of good California bar culture. Food is great, beautiful women, and they have an outside area with more food and you can smoke cigs while eating. You don't have too but you can! Also the staff are extremely awesome.“

“Awesome place to chill and have a much needed drink after work. Great staff, lovely bartender who knows how to make your specialty lol. Not to mention the food that comes out of here...Ahhh, The flavors are PHENOMENAL to say the least! P.S. Try the risotto...you'll thank me later! ??“

“I started with a Lavender Margarita. It was way sweeter than I would’ve liked it to be. It packed quite a wallop but was overshadowed by the sweetness. 3 out of 5 ⭐️ I toyed with the idea of Pato Chicharrone (duck cracklings) with pickled red onions and aioli. A different twist on an old-style recipe. The ratio of fat to meat was divine in its flavor, and the onions and aioli set off all the flavors. 5 out of 5 ⭐️ Next was the Bruselas (crispy Brussels Sprouts) tossed in honey Dijon with pistachios! Sí!! Bravo!! Each sprout was cut in half lengthwise, and the layers were opened so the flavor permeated the entire piece of sprout, yummy! Nice touch and not too sweet. It was served a little cooler than what I would have preferred. 4 out of 5 ⭐️ Both tapas were generous portions and served as my meal for the evening. I ordered the Beet Salad to go. It’s done with mixed greens, roasted beets, red onion, feta cheese, almonds, with lemon vinaigrette on the side. I had a sneak peek and it proves to be delicious and so darn healthy! 5 out of 5 ⭐️“

“Still trying to find their groove, this beer and wine bar still feels like a converted sandwich shop. They have fun events like trivia and shop and sips and there's lots of seating inside and out.
A redesign inside could help so we'll keep visiting to see what happens.“

“Goated restaurant. I would highly recommend“

“Six Eleven is an American bistro in Martinez, housed in what looks like a former mansion. The lemon chicken piccata was vibrant with lemon tartness, and the grilled, tender chicken breast cutlet satisfied with bursts of salt and sweetness from the capers and diced tomatoes. The linguine had a perfect al dente bite.

Fontina and parmesan are packed into the arancini rice balls, their boldness oozing out with each bite. Does creamy chipotle dip make sense to serve with them? Not authentically, but who cares when you’re eating arancini as light and fluffy as these?

The braised short rib pappardelle is served with a marinara sauce, Grana Padano cheese, and parsley. The pasta and sauce were beautifully flavored and prepared. Marinara and short rib can sometimes be too rich in combination for me, but I wanted more of this dish.

Six Eleven has had two “award-winning” cocktails on their specialty list when I’ve visited, though I’m unsure what award they’ve won. The Plant Mom is one, made with vodka, lemon juice, limoncello, cherry bitters, fresh mint, egg whites, and a rosemary-rose-lavender syrup. That’s a lot to pack into one drink!
And the Plant Mom does so masterfully. I’d give it an award of my own for each sip of its smooth, elegant blend that hinted of herbaceous and floral flavors.

On my second visit, the Pecan Sandra was an unusual choice for me to start a meal with, as it’s solidly on the dessert side of cocktails. But I wanted just one drink, and the ingredient list assured me this was one I couldn’t miss: brown butter fat-washed bourbon, lemon juice, pecan syrup, black walnut bitters, chocolate bitters, and candied pecans. It was as rich and luscious as you’d expect from those ingredients. And filling!“

“Nice little neighborhood bar in downtown Benicia off first street. Open pretty late but still closes earlier than 2am. They have late night eats, TVs, and a happy hour menu. The bartenders were friendly and helped us with our drinks and their food menu didn’t look bad. Both indoor and outdoor space. Parking isn’t too hard as there is plenty of street parking around this area. Their starburst, gummy bear, and green tea shots during happy hour are $5 and pretty tasty and sweet.“

“One of my favorite spots in Walnut Creek. Service is always good and everything on the menu is delicious.“

“The steak salad was amazing! Drinks were delicious, live music, great service. Stayed for the line dancing class at 9pm and that was a blast. My first time there and I loved it.“
