29 Best Bars near Martinez

“One of my all time favorite spots to play pool, bartenders are great, they don’t gouge you for the drinks while having a nice selection of beer and whiskey. Security does a phenomenal job especially when the place is busy and they’re super friendly. With a pinball machine, shuffleboard, and darts it’s tough not have fun while you’re there.“

“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.“

“I really enjoy a beautifully cooked piece of salmon, which is not easy to come by. Quite often when I order seafood out at a restaurant it is overcooked. I can guarantee when I go to Roxx on Main. My salmon is perfection. Moist tender and juicy like it should be. I do enjoy her menu, which is very versatile.“

“What is there to say? This place is the best: drink quality, the fun atmosphere, pricing, the variety, and awesome bartending!We've had every type of drink and it's always been knocked out of the park!"A must try" if you're in the area.Tip your bartenders! ?“

“Fun place Ces ces is dope“

“We had a great evening with friends. Great food great service!“

“I stopped by during a transfer at Martinez Station. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the friendly service. The BBQ pork fried noodles and wonton soup were also delicious, and I'll definitely visit again if I have the chance.“

“The food is delicious I’ve had almost everything on the menu in the past year that they’ve been open. Two of my favorites are the chicken sandwich & the deep fried Oreo dessert. The staff are all so friendly & welcoming. The bartenders make the best cocktails & are always coming up with new yummy drinks to try. The location has an amazing outdoor patio perfect for the beautiful martinez weather along the creek.
Highly remind you giving it a try.“

“My husband and I stumbled upon Baxter’s while looking for somewhere to eat for my birthday. It ended up being the best meal we’ve ever had! We had a view of the water, had amazing filet mignon tacos (they were so good, we ordered another round to go), and our entrees were to die for! My partner got the Beef Wellington and it was melt in your mouth! I got the scallops and they were positively delightful! We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners and not only was he kind, but you could see the pride he had for his restaurant. We loved it so much that we pretty much immediately decided were going there for our anniversary next month. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“Totally worth the drive to fish and see Barbara when they open for lunch.. Barbara is totally awesome. Cash only don't worry. There is ATM in the back. Large food and alcohol selection. We had no problems finding a seat on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of amazing outside seating looking at the lake. Side note my friend comes here occasionally and fishes on the straight. He took me here today and we almost caught a Sturgeon together.“

“Food and service was great! Loved the bar service and our drinks were so good. However, we overheard the long haired male employee, I think his name was West, speaking negatively about a group of people sitting on the couch throughout the night. He seemed to be upset about where they were sitting. Kinda ruined our vibe but we had a good time and we'll be back.“

“This is a five star review from someone who doesn’t even like beer. The bartenders here are either very good at what they do or performing some kind of sorcery, but somehow they always manage to find something that I enjoy!

The beer selection on tap and in the fridge is super broad, really high quality, and constantly changing; the atmosphere is laid back; you can bring your own food in; and dogs are allowed! Their regular trivia nights and other events are always a good time as well.

Best taproom in the east bay🍻“

“Step into the enchanting ambiance of this bar where every sip is a journey of flavor. With an array of amazing cocktails crafted to perfection, you'll be spellbound by the mixologist's expertise. And as if the drinks weren't enticing enough, the staff here are the epitome of charm and allure, making every visit a delight for the senses.“

“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!“

“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

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

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“Comfortable seating, great service and food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Reading these reviews, the good ones, bring back wonderful memories of the past. I was there most Friday afternoon/evenings from 90 to 93 when stationed at CSTSC Mare Island as an instructor. Great to see this place still in business. Great people then and apparently now.“

“I celebrated my 23rd birthday here and they put little confetti on the table we reserved. It was a small gesture but it made me feel extra special :) It was a wonderful experience and the staff were so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend for anyone celebrating anything special!!“

“Saved the night on a last minute reservation for homecoming. I called and they were super friendly and quickly set up for the group. Everything went so smoothly, the kids loved the food and environment! Waitress was the best. thank you!!!!“

“The group of us had a great lunch at Bourbon Highway. We enjoyed the food and service. The sandwiches and salads were tasty. They really give you healthy portions for the price. Great deal for sure. All the sides were really good. Try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was probably our favorite. Glad this place started serving lunch. Doesn't appear many people have figured that out yet.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“
