50 Best Bars near Rodeo

“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.“

“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.“

“This spot is a lot more informal and hipster than I thought. I wanted a cozy pub-type place with a comfy chair or couch where I could drink a beer and read a book and this fits the bill. I know it's a wine bar but as I'm not really a wine drinker I can't comment on the selections but I'm sure they're fine. Plus they play records on a mostly vintage hi-fi the whole time.
If you like wine, go here. They also have cheese and charcuterie plates and olives etc.
Groovy places like this are pretty rare on this otherwise fairly bleak part of San Pablo Ave. A welcome addition. Cheers!“

“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.“

“I love this bar/club. It's a small dive bar with great shows. I saw Manic Hispanic this week. I was up front and center. A friend saw the same band last week in SoCal but was separated from the band by the typical bigger show barricade. The Ivy Room gets packed, but what a fantastic place to see bands!“

“This was my first time dining there. Definitely not my last. First class atmosphere, Customer Service and food. I see other items on the menu I want to try. And the best part is the locale. I only live 2.5 miles away from a top notch dining venue on the water. Fantastic!!“

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“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!“

“The nachos a 9/10 (and not just because I was buzzing lol)
The empanadas 7/10
Chicharrones with guacamole 6/10
Queso fundido 8/10
Warm olives 10/10 (like always)
It has a very Beach vibe with a unique bar stool seating area outside the bar perfect for a warm summer night. The bartender was very welcoming, I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but service was great. If you like additive free tequila or mezcal this is the place for you! Me and my girl will be back for sure“

“What we’ve had food-wise here has been just dessert and it’s pretty good. Coffee is great! I like the vibe this place has and what they are trying to accomplish. It’s cool they support different DJs and depending on the evening you will get a different set of music. Staff is friendly but you can tell there’s one guy back there preparing everything so be prepared to wait. They seem pulled quite thin. Prices are what you’d expect. It’s not cheap but not over the top IMO. I will say we’ve been approached to and from our car in this neighborhood by a variety of folks probably who are harmless but be aware of your surroundings. I definitely don’t mind 420 vibes but wish they wouldn’t allow people to smoke right outside the door since it hits you constantly while you’re sitting near the door. Seating is hit or miss. We have arrived right after opening thinking about having a full meal here only to find no seating so we will grab a coffee and go. This is why we’ve yet to try their main food. There’s never seating inside and it’s too hot lately to sit outside. If a large group comes in and takes up all the seating you are SOL. It’s worth trying and we will continue to support for sure but there’s always room for improvement. Nice to see this in Vallejo. Just wish there was more seating so we could experience it more and hang out. The one time we did arrive and found seating for once, we had dessert and it was a perfect after dinner stop!“

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“First time going in and the place is bigger than it looks outside. The bartenders are super nice and welcoming. Mostly locals that frequents the place. Seems everyone know each other. Very laid back with outdoor area for pingpong or card games to dominoes and 5 dice, wow! Inside is a jukebox, a dart board game. Over by the corner they have video games. 1 pinball and 1 bowling game. If your not interested with the games they provide, I can almost garantee that someone there will find you and engage in a long but good conversation. The walls and ceiling is draped with one dollar bills all over inside. Interesting to see and count. I'd say there's about 2356 dollars in one dollar bills but not up for the taking.“

“Un rendez-vous avec la bonne gastronomie le service rapide et l’endroit agréable merci 🙏“

“It was a great positive experience and true local hidden gem! Come say hi to the owner Ann, tell her I sent you.“

“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.“

“We were greeted warmly and offered any table we desired. Had a late lunch of a tasty crab sandwich and a crisp, fresh Caesar salad. We will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. Such a warm cozy place to visit! Thank you Chef!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had a great time at this restaurant the food was good the atmosphere was nice and the servers were knowledgeable about the food. This place seems brand new so everything looks new and clean. The service was a bit slow but hopefully they get faster with experience.“

“all of the above and then some!“

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

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

“I used to work in this building in the early 1980's at the Bronze Seal coffee shop. It's great to see it still thriving. I remember the original owner Roger Steck. Such great memories growing up in Benicia.“

“I recently had a pleasure to visit 7 peak restaurant & bar and I m happy from there the food and the service . The atmosphere is nice and quiet .

“Good food & friendly staff!👍🏽“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Lama bar is the best local bar around! It’s the perfect place to watch the world cup with multiple Tvs inside and a big screen tv on the outdoor patio, so you never miss a game. They also have a pool table, fun karaoke nights, and a welcoming atmosphere with friendly bartenders and regulars who make everyone feel at home.highly recommended checking it out!“

“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!“

“Quite an intimate bar, good sound level good video and great bartenders. Small but strong.“

“Very cute place with yummy food. The star of the show was Steven. Our waiter was attentive, attuned, patient, kind, and funny. Some of the best service and care I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. Definitely coming back and hope to be in his section!“

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

“great food and service!!!“

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

“Good whiskey sours. Biggest and best cocktail cherries I’ve ever had 🍒 Nice bartenders, hardcore karaoke aficionados“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our group of five enjoyed lunch on a quiet afternoon. Their pies are 9' or 12' and offer numerable custom options ~ rare amongst many pizza spots! with that in mind know wait time up to 25 minutes for delivery; we only ordered one starter roasted cauliflower to share. The pies were generous, prepped as ordered and service was relaxed. Fun !“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Great Hamburgers and garlic bread.“

“location is very accessible. the system is easy to operate. song selections are good. just one suggestion..... need aircon or electric fan because it's summer now.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“Matt was great with service -👍🏼“
