Seems the host mentioned them having a patio/ outdoor area ... We agreed that would be a nice experience... Made it to the patio as we noticed a band setting up ... Lo and behold it was a Steely Dan Tribute Band scheduled to play .... Our waitress greeted us with beverage service as that being the norm ... Eventually she mentioned there would be a $5 per person charge for the purpose of being entertained by the band performing .... The issue is this .... It hadn't been e They say is outside in the patio to eat . And unclear situation occurred . We had a party of 5 ... After being seated and waiting for the beverages ,,,, the waitress told it was a 5$ per person charged which wasn't explained @ the start of entering the building .... We felt slightly ambushed ... Last but not least we paid separately.. However the waitress made continuous mistake needing to ask for the debit card 3 separate times which was confusing and annoying ... My issue is more so the confusing entirely ... *Slow communication *Friendly service * Food ,,, cafeteria like and there's French fries are extremely over cooked . Felt like I was eating french fries chips . The brisket is flavorless but tender . My guest ordered a Caesar Salad which was basically 2$ worth of lettuce , 4 -5 croutons , scattered Parmesan cheese and a liquidity plastic container of I'm assuming a Caesar salad dressing all for the price of 15$ or so dollars ,,, definitely not worth it ... I believe the grand estimate total we spent was about $150 and some change not sure including the tip and the $5 per person charged. Some adjustments were made to accommodate our feelings regarding the $5 per person patio concert charge ... Overall we felt ambushed We felt pressured ,,,and we settled due to hunger ...( Mistake) Wasn't happy w/ being asked for the debit card 3x due to ,, Ummmm I really don't know why ??? Will i return ,, maybe . If I do return it will be for dining indoors as it was mentioned that the menu differs from the outside picnic style menu .... The band was great

It's been a while since I've come here pre covid. I remember coming here for at least 10 years…read more.. We came down to Benicia for the UBE festival on first Street. Unfortunately, the festival did not serve any liquor so we decided head down to the local bar before we enjoy the festival and all the food it had. We walked into the bar, and it felt like the establishment hasn't changed a bit. The ambiance is the dark speakeasy bar feeling. We sat at the bar and were greeted by a super nice bartender who made some delicious drinks! Back in the day there used to be brunch and a bigger food menu but they have stopped that. The buffet I guess was a waste and a lot of food didn't get eaten. They used to have a make your own Bloody Mary bar, but didn't see that either. The menu is on an IPad and it's nice to see the photos of what the every drink looks like. There is an assortment of drinks to choose from. This is one of the bars that actually knows how make drinks!We order a mixture of drinks, from the key lime pie martini, to the spicy jalapeño margaritas with the Tajin rim, to the delicious pear drink! These drinks were made with love! I would definitely recommend this place for drinks, during the evening they usually have a band playing. The only reason why it's not a 5 star is the old furniture... I used to love sitting on the sofas for a cozy feeling but they look pretty beat up now... just makes things look a bit dirty. Thanks for the drinks! It made the festival much better!

Their food is always really good and they have a huge variety of drinks, beers, hard alcohol, mixed drinks and they even have a " birthday cake shot" which I highly recommend whether it's your Bday or not! The cucumber martini is my go to drink there. Trust me and order it. It tastes really light and refreshing with a nice cucumber flavor. I have NEVER had anyone not think it was amazing after trying a sip. Don't let the word "martini" scare you. This drink is heaven. If you haven't been to the Rellik then you're really missing out. Stop on by anytime and you'll see what I'm talking about

It's a good sized bar that could handle a crowd if needed. But most importantly of all the nice things. They got a juke box and you can use your phone to put songs on.

Unfortunatetly, It cost this bar a 1 star review because of this idiot. I will definitely file a complaint to ADA.
