11 Best Dive 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.“

“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.“

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“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.“

“Great place to hang out chill little bar“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“
