50 Best Bars near Martinez

“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.“

“Roxx On Main is a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The food was flavorful and well prepared, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It’s a great spot to spend time with friends or family while enjoying good food. Definitely worth a visit!“

“The moment we walked in, the place just felt right—friendly without being pushy, lively without being chaos. The person behind the bar actually seemed happy we were there, which is rarer than you'd think, and that sets the tone for everything else.

We ended up staying way longer than we meant to, and that’s really the best review I can give. Good drinks, good crowd, good energy. Cue & Brew is the kind of bar you hope to find in your neighborhood—and now I’m just trying to figure out how often I can justify coming back.“

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

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

“Very happy with the pork fried rice both the quality and generous portion. The sweet and sour pork is also really good. I sat in the bar next door and had a beer while I waited for my food. Not that I had to wait long. I will definitely be back if not for the food then to hang out at the bar.“

“Fun place Ces ces is dope“

“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.“

“My husband, daughter, and I wanted to try Baxter's because of the high reviews. So last night, we did! It was perfect because my birthday was around the corner and it was an early birthday celebration. We had a wonderful dinner! The food was delicious! My daughter said that her filet mignon was done perfectly to her liking. My husband ordered the same thing and he enjoyed it just as much. My fish dish was yummy. The dinner ended with a birthday toast with the friendly staff. The whole experience was memorable and we look forward to our next visit.“

“great people. amazing beer.“

“Comfortable seating, great service and food.“

“I was here for my bachelorette for Latino night and OMG !!!!!! It was so much fun!! 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“

“Absolutely loved our experience at The Rellik Tavern! The atmosphere was welcoming and full of character, the service was friendly and attentive, and everything made for a fantastic visit. A great spot in Benicia for good food, drinks, and a relaxed time. Definitely deserving of five stars—I’d happily come back again!“

“I always make an “excuse” to visit ØL. Such a great vibe, amazing curated selection of brews and down to earth staff. I lived in SF forever and moved out to the East Bay a few years back and this place is equal to or beyond some of the best beer cafes in the city. Huge thanks to the staff here - this place is awesome!“

“This place has strong “the world is your oyster” energy
A young-ish place where the drinks, food and vibes are flowing and delicious
All of life’s possibilities seem within reach
Came here on a Ciocia pop up night
The polish mushroom cabbage rolls and potato pierogis were devoured. Was bummed I had to share them“

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I had a takeout pizza from this restaurant last night first of all the customer service was absolutely excellent. The person that answered the phone had a really pleasant customer focused manner , nothing was too much trouble and he was so polite. The pizza was absolutely amazing , I hate anything that is too heavy and it was so light and lovely , the ingredients tasted extremely fresh , I would 100% recommend this place based upon my first experience and I will be back thanks so much 🥰“

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

“Tony the owner has done a terrific job in creating a local rotating craft beer house. The staff are tremendously friendly, samples are always available before you get a full pint! Sunday Funday is my favorite, with live music until 5pm. Great place to hangout, have some awesome fried cheese curds and wings, kid friendly as well. Checks all the boxes!“

“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!“

“Great place for good eats, good tap beer and cider! Such a good vibe with great music and plenty of TVs playing current sports. Service was good enough tho I was there on a very busy Saturday night. Use the app for wait-list in advance. We had a great dinner with a great view 🫠“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Yummy food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Friendly atmosphere and karaoke nights every Thursday and Saturday are great fun!“

“Delicious pizza, great salad, and outdoor seating. Our favorite pizza place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was our first brunch at Batch and Brine and it was so delicious! Im not sure why we’ve only been for dinner?! We will be back soon for brunch! Chicken and waffles with fresh fruit were a hit!! They make their own pastrami and use it for hash! Every bite of pastrami was so tender, meaty, and flavorful. I prefer it to any corned beef hash. It was Father’s Day and very busy but the staff were all individually friendly, calm, organized, attentive and really worked well together as a team! They really had some very special items on the menu (mimosa flights etc). I can’t wait to try pastrami sandwich for lunch/dinner. Burgers are always reliable, juicy, flavorful and substantial. Excellent fries, salads, tacos and cocktails!! Recommend 100% for a casual but well crafted menu, indoor/outdoor seating and friendly attentive service!“

“It was my first time at the Beverly Elks Lodge. The have a full bar and kitchen if you're hungry. I was there because on Wednesday nights, for a nominal charge of $10, they teach Chicago Style Steppin' . I has a great time and met some new friends. I can't wait to go back next week.“

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

“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 !“

“Excellent place to meet up with friends and family to have a great time with yummy food“

“I never found the Golf Course meeting people is different since I forgot half of the amount of difference Vallejo Development has been since I never made it“

“Excellent! We had a great experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Matt was great with service -👍🏼“

“Grew up nearby, The Roundup is the oldest bar I remember, could be the oldest bar in Lafayette, or one of at least. Great to see family and friends at this fine establishment“
