13 Best Craft Breweries near Martinez

“Great atmosphere and beer.. good spot for families before 6. The food is a bit overpriced for the quality. they swapped homemade chicken tenders for Frozen recently which tasted like cardboard. but otherwise solid place, just the food menu is my only gripe.“

“Everything thing about this place is beautiful. From the staff to the atmosphere being half outside. I love it!“

“We held our 25-year high school reunion at Side Gate Brewery and Beer Garden, and the event was fantastic! Your facility was the perfect place for us to host this memorable gathering. The atmosphere was ideal, and the space accommodated our group wonderfully.

Alexis, the event manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was easy to collaborate with, helpful, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional throughout the entire planning process. Her expertise and attention to detail made everything seamless.

The Side Gate staff was amazing, and we truly appreciate the exceptional service provided. I highly recommend Side Gate Brewery and Beer Garden to anyone looking for a venue to host a party or gathering. It’s a fantastic choice!“

“Check out this awesome local brewery with amazing beer and super friendly staff. They have a different food truck daily, and other event nights, so there's always a new reason to stop by. I recommend their beer slushy on a hot day and their horchata lager every day.“

“Sooooo many little kids, which would be fine in the Beer Garden but many of the young children were not being well supervised. Great vibes, good beer, too many unsupervised littles“

“Dog & mom in wheelchair friendly. Great sliders & house made pickles.“

“Great little spot in the industrial area of Benicia. They had a fair amount of seating set up both indoors and outdoors, and they had 8-10 beers on tap. I went with their Golden Stout and really enjoyed it. The Beertender (Molly) was super friendly. I'd go back if I was in the area.“

“Great spot! When I shared I was not feeling a particular dish - customer service was awesome!“

“Great beer and location. Highly recommend.“

“Solid beers and good food. Their WC IPAs are tasty. The pretzel and black bean burger with bacon were delicious too.
Also, I know what you’re thinking… black bean burger ADD bacon?! Adding pork to a veggie burger…. Who would do such a thing? Me. I did. It was delicious. I’d do it again. You should too.“

“They make great tasting beer in a good variety of styles. The staff is very friendly. They have comfortable seating inside and outside. My go to place for great beer and pleasant experience.“

“Great place overall! The food was excellent. We ordered the 6-piece wings—crispy and perfectly hot—and a personal pizza with sausage and mushrooms. It was the perfect amount for two people.

The kids’ area can get a bit hectic, as many parents sit while their kids run around. It might be helpful to have signs reminding parents that kids should be monitored at all times, especially around the video games. One child accidentally hit me with his sweater, and the parent was nowhere to be found—not Bare Bottle’s fault, just something that could be helped with a gentle reminder.

I also noticed some people using the parking lot for Trader Joe’s parking, so signage there could help as well.

The 21+ section is still developing, and I’m looking forward to seeing it fully come together—I’m hopeful it’ll be just as great as the rest of the space.

Overall, a really great spot and we’ll definitely be back“

“Enjoy the beers and wonderful staff.“
