Went here the other evening with family and friends. It was my first time and I really enjoyed it. Lots of outdoor seating and family and dog friendly. I didn't try the food, but I got a flight of beers to try since I couldn't decide. Will definitely be back to try the other beer flavors. I wish I got the girls name who helped us. She explained the menu and everything for us with her coworker and they were honestly the sweetest and just had all around good vibes.

Really enjoy 5 Suns! Always a great spot for trivia, food truck eats, or drinks. Love the outdoor area in the summer, and always family friendly. I will warn you all that the seltzer is quite strong and only suitable for a fun night, not a lunchtime buzz!

Where the magic happens
Richard B.

This was first time here for us. Friends and frequent flyers suggested this place. So first off, back in the day I use to drink a lot of beer, especially when I finally crawled off my tractor and stumbled out of the field. Farming days. Today not so much, but given that, I still love a nice porter or stout, nitros or not, once in awhile. First item I spied on the menu was a Porter and it was mine. I think my partner had some pilsnerish or hevi thing. Nice indoor area and outside patio. We started outside but moved inside after awhile since the sun kept chasing us. There was a food truck on the street for eats and we also got something from another place down the street. As with the trend now days these beer places are all dog friendly and of course bring the kids and get them started early on the alcohol trajectory of trashed livers. For some reason the parents think it's perfectly ok for the kids to run around recklessly, kick balls and throw objects at unprotected patrons while they keep their dogs on a tight leash. Maybe it should be the other way around. Just something to think about. Overall a nice place with friendly staff and good beer. Also wine selections. Next time we are in the area we will drop in again.

One of my favorite East Bay breweries. The beer garden is very nice with plenty of tables to choose from. Lots of flowers, fire pits, long tables, and umbrellas. They only sell bar snacks, so there is almost always a food truck outside and they allow outside food. I love the Martinez lager and their sour. I am a big sour fan and the pomegranate, plum, prickly pear sour is one of my favorites that I have ever tried! They have lots of space indoors as well. The staff are always friendly. Such a lovely local gem

Love this place. Beautiful and plentiful outdoor seating. Plenty of umbrellas for shade. Good selection of beers. I went for Ghost Town. Great flavor but could have been colder. They usually have a food truck, but you can bring in food from any restaurant around here plenty to choose from.

It was raining so we decided to go inside and enjoy our beer. With high ceilings and stone floors, the noise level was a little high, but it calm down after a bit. We were there during a busy period and were immediately greeted at the counter by the smiling Vicki. we made our orders there were four of us so we ordered a variety of beers, sodas, spritzer, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. I really enjoyed the fact that I was able to go in there and people were there with their dogs and their dogs were well-behaved and fun to be with. the general customer grouping was very relaxed and friendly and sharing with each other and it made us feel real comfortable being from another area I am the beer drinker in the group so I ordered which sounded like an interesting choice from me and it was the DIPA. it was so delicious I had to and that encourages me to come back on the next visit and try a flight of the selection.. After parking in the lot next to the brewery and coming around through the front doors, it was easy to see why people would be enticed to sit out in front on a beautiful afternoon and the customer area outside.

Love it when the Sun cooperates!

Five Suns Brewing is such an incredibly comfortable brewery! With plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and a nice open courtyard, this is the place to chill and have a beer... or a glass of wine. It appears they partner with a local winery, Viano Vineyards. I tried their Chardonnay and - even though I'm not really a big Chard fan - it was FANTASTIC! They have a wide variety of quality craft beers. Can't wait to come back! Give it a try; you definitely will be glad you did.

Sour Ale

For a first timer, I enjoyed Five Suns and would come back if I'm ever again in the area. Located in the heart of downtown Martinez, Five Suns Brewing has a nice outdoor patio that's perfect for a warm day or evening. They seemed to be kid friendly and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. As for the beer, I really enjoyed their sour ale. After my first beer, I wanted to venture and try something else, but the sour was so good I had to order it again. My wife ordered their seltzer and really enjoyed it. The menu seemed to accommodate all of the different needs from pilsners, blondes, stouts, ambers, sours etc.

Indoor area
Agnes C.

Sit in the outside patio during nice sunny days and warm night (9/27/24) I really enjoyed the OG Burst with the taste of guava. The Way hazy IPA definitely had some hops. They have a food truck but we did not have food this time around. The bathrooms are kept clean and there is a small public parking lot next to the brewery. I must come back to try out more beer and perhaps the food truck ! The ambiance was great - chill vibes. This is a good place to meet friends.

You can reserve rooms for a party!
Matt T.

This is a great place to bring your family in the early afternoon or come with your adult friends at night. They have a great range of food trucks and a great service. The large patio is especially nice. The owners are super cool and love to talk and show around patrons.

Seltzer and an IPA
Michele O.

For those who don't know, Martinez has a pretty cool craft beer scene and Five Suns seems to be at the heart of it. The brewery itself occupies most of the huge building that Five Suns is in, with a bar and event space in front that opens up to a beer garden with a food truck parked in front. There's a dedicated parking lot which fills up pretty quickly, but street parking is available for the overflow. The indoor space is really nice - there's art from local artists hanging on the walls and the second level mezzanine has a pool table that's totally free to play. The beer itself is great and the seltzer in my opinion is even better! We'll definitely be back to check out the live music events and work our way through the entire beer offering.

They may run out of seats! It's that popular. The yucca fries were delicious! Well-seasoned and cooked to perfection! The ceviche, I felt it was a little on the smaller side for the portion, in terms of pricing, but it was so tasty! The flavors blended extremely well together and there wasn't too much of one spice or seasoning. Their dole whip slushie is amazing! It literally tastes like there is no alchol, so be careful when you are drinking this! They sneak up on you!! Overall, this is a great brewery! lots of space and natural lighting, the staff is amazing, and their food/drinks and events are some of the best in the east bay!

Pros - Friendly cashier, good assortment of beer and ciders, dog-friendly…read more Neutral - Loud music outside. Cons - No employee approached a male dog owner over his pit bull excessively howling / yelping over another dog. A couple yelps, fine. It kept going, it was loud, the silver-haired Boomer was taking his sweet time to ( not ) control his dog with respect to other people in the patio area. So, dogs are preferred over people, no one on staff to politely ask the man to control the dog immediately? One more thing: the barking was such a nuisance that I and another customer were looking back at the owner to see if he was taking care of it, the customer quipped about the dog going to be attacking him, if anything, I joked that I'd be fine, he then suddenly held up the numbered signage for his order ( w/ metal stand ) saying he was going to hit me with it. ( No light-hearted tone, moreso irritated and aggressive. ) And this is how suddenly bad things happen, how a customer spews out a verbal threat ( technically criminal assault ), linked to an out-of-control situation with a pet owner and his dog and a restaurant that won't do anything about it. Simple Solution: Train employees ( or remind them ) to assertively and cordially request owners to keep their dogs peaceful and quiet. Otherwise, it's sweeping a problem under the rug. Not smart nor respectful of other customers. Being Fair: If you like the energy of a loud restaurant, whether it's music and/or dogs barking, then you should be fine, drinks and all. If you love dogs, yet want them responsibly controlled in an environment where you seek to maintain an actual meaningful conversation, this establishment is a roll of the dice.

So our party of 4 decided to call that a day and went to check out downtown Benicia, First St is lovely, full of small pubs, restaurants and shops. This taphouse looked interesting and there were a few people seated outside so we decided to check it out. It was a hot day and the server told us that the inside had AC so we decided to sit inside but there are several tables outside in the front of the taphouse and a separate area to the side of the restaurant with plenty of seating. There is a large bar to the left which leads into the kitchen area. There are several booths to the right and tables for seating in the middle of the space as well as bar seating. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon and the place was not full but there a few tables were occupied. The bar itself is very old, I was told almost 100years old and original and it is a standout feature. Beautiful. The decorations are pictures of how the place and Benicia used to look a 100 years or so back. i wanted to have a beer but don't like dark beers and when I asked the server for a suggestion, she got me a couple of samples. I liked the light beer and ordered that. We also ordered a Roy Rogers and a hop water which I was told was interesting. There is plenty of street parking but this was on holiday. I can see the parking getting tough on a weekend. I thought the prices for the food were expensive, especially for Benicia. We ordered 2 slider kid meals which were $11 each, came with kettle chips and an order of cheesesteak. It was good sized and also came with chips. Service was quick and they checked in on us to make sure that were doing fine. The only blip was when we needed the check and no one was coming around and I walked up to the bar to ask for the check and the server told me to go back to my seat and she will get it for me, it was unexpectedly abrupt. It was a nice place and I would recommend the restaurant.

The Chopped Kale Salad came with apple, radish, carrot, cotija, and Pepitas, all tossed in a tangy pomegranate vinaigrette; and the Chickpea Salad also had a base of kale topped with chickpeas, roasted sweet potato/carrot, and charred halloumi, and dressed with herbed pesto.

My biggest issue was definitely the food and the pricing. We ordered two beers, a pretzel with cheese, a Detroit-style pizza, and a Caesar salad, and our total came out to $70 pre-tip. They charged an additional $3 for beer cheese with the pretzel, and the Caesar salad alone was $15, which I thought was pretty ridiculous. The Detroit-style pizza was decent, but nothing special. The sauce on top honestly tasted like something straight out of a jar. Unfortunately, based on the food and the prices, I'd be hesitant to recommend this place or come back. Maybe I'd stop by for a beer, but definitely not for the food. The service was great, but the food just didn't justify the price.
