Excellent selection of beers with a food truck parked near the patio. There is typically live music available on weekends and holidays. The service at the bar is usually quick and the staff is very friendly, offering a taste to those who ask. The quality of the food trucks is of course variable - some are good while others seem a bit overpriced with unhealthy food or pub grub offerings. read more

Great spot that i can visit over and over again. I had the GC (guava wheat beer) soooo yummy, light but flavorful. they had a food truck close by, but there is also the market next door with lots of other food choices. If you need a pick me up states coffee is also next door. read more

I would definitely come back here they have a great variety of beers and snacks. Their service is also really good and the ambience is great because it's both indoors and outdoors. read more

I'm shocked I haven't given them 5 stars yet. Absolutely a gem in the East bay. Best place to stop in Martinez. They are working on getting more beers to the menu so keep an eye out. Jessie and staff are great to chat with about beer or just Martinez. I'll always return here when visiting. Cheers read more

Five Suns Brewing - The spot!!! MTZ - Breweries Near Me - Martinez, California

We absolutely love our neighborhood brewery, Five Suns! We've been fans since the beginning, back when they were at their Escobar location. It's been the perfect spot for everything--from bringing our pups and kids (our son even took his first steps here!) to hosting events and catching up with friends after the Farmer's Market. The laid-back atmosphere makes it our go-to place, and the food trucks and live music are always a hit. Thank you, Five Suns, for bringing such great vibes to Martinez! read more

Great indoor and outdoor seating area, friendly staff and excellent beer selection, overall a great space to visit.

My go to beer spot. Food trucks are always good and has an awesome back patio. Love this place.

I really like this place. Really good beer and a solid selection of regulars like pale ale, ipa, Porter, and stout. Not too many places have a good porter. This is run by five locals that have day jobs. I hope this place does well. read more

We came here with family on Sunday during the farmers market when it was almost 100 degrees out. Wow, what a great place! Nice, clean and cool indoor space. Friendly staff that provided recommendations and cool beers on tap. The names are unique and I can't remember them. But we got a guava one which was a crowd favorite. Couldn't ask for more. But if you wanted more, they also have nice outdoor seating and a food truck just outside. read more

"Owners Engineering Geniuses?" On prior visits, they showed off their electronic equipment which controls the brewing process. Today, they also let me look at their brewery setup. Absolutely fascinating, and they were kind enough to explain how it all works. The owners were kind enough to let me tour their brewery in the back room. They are absolute experts and I'm so impressed with their understanding of the business. I even watched them as they poured the barley and other chemicals into their brewing vat. I don't pretend to understand all of the steps that they were taking, but it was interesting to watch. A great place for a friendly visit and a brew. Plus they're just all-around nice people. I had a chance today to order a light beer, a blond, for $6.50 a pint. Just what the doctor ordered! This is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in town. Really nice people and a lot of interesting characters as well. read more

This place has a lot of potential, they are basically David versus Goliath so to speak with respect to Del Cielo; however, with a little bit more volumes of CO2, and chill on the darker bears so to speak. We got five stars. read more

Out of all the brew places in Martinez, Five Suns Brewing is my favorite. The staff is super friendly and chill, great place to bring the kids, what more can you ask for? You can also find a featured food truck on the weekends to get your grub on and soak in all of the booze or stop by the marketplace to grab some food. I recently had their orange guava wheat ale, all I can say is YUM, however my usual go to is their hard seltzer with a whooping ABV of 16.1%, it's a creeper. read more

Love the vibe! Great beer great service! Ask for Kim ... we laughed a lot today!! We had the Ghost Moon and Reliez ... give them a try !

Love the new location. The atmosphere is beyond great and love the new lay out. The old location provided that nice local type of ambiance but it is nice that there is a ton of open space and room to sit which was lacking. The beers and service are beyond amazing and love the fact you can hang out with the family and a dog or two to enjoy a cold brew. Happy and excited for the Five Suns new transformation and can appreciate the outdoor patio area especially when summer time rolls around. Highly recommend stopping by if you have not already. read more

By far my favorite brewery in Martinez and on my top five list in Contra costa county. 1. The location is great. The vibe is so fun and some of the brinks have some fun back stories! 2. The staff is so friendly. We always feel comfortable at Five Suns. Also I love when I can ask someone questions and recommendations and they care about the conversation ( not just answer your question with no effort) 3. The beer is GOOD! Honestly that's the most important thing. Plus they sell some of their beer at local sto read more

I had my sons reception at Five Suns- the venue was amazing as well as the staff. however for an event - 100+ people - the minimum is 2750- it is a contract but we only reached half of their total- they did not offer any kind of compensation for us- the waitress tried but mgmt said no- so if you are planning an event- be prepared- I had the most beer drinking people ever and didn't come close- I lost a $1000- read more

Just an FYI, Five Suns changed locations from around Escobar Street to Main Street. It used to be near Del Cielo Brewing; there's a miniature golf business there now. Anyway, I remember the beer being better at the aforementioned location. I don't know, something just seemed off from the blonde ale to the porter and finally the stout, which had a weird aftertaste I couldn't place. However, the plus side of this new location is that it comes with a large gathering area that easily allows for a food truck and band. Also, it's family friendly so parents can grab a bite and brew and not have to find a sitter for the young ones. read more

$8 for a 16oz stout. Yummy but expensive. Trendy food truck outside, also expensive. Out and indoor seating. Friendly staff and friendly patrons. Cool place to have a drink. 16oz beers are all $8. They had an alcoholic seltzer also for $10. Cool spot. Very relaxing. read more

While the outdoor area is great, the beers just aren't very good here. My wife and I each tried a couple, and they were all not very good. And the lady bartender was really unpleasant; if customer interaction is that annoying to you, you might want to find a different gig. read more

Small beer selection, but nice place to hang out and enjoy a drink with friends. There's usually a food truck right outside and tables have fire pits. My friends and I came here to hang out on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. Kids welcome (just not at bar) and dogs okay too since it's outdoor seating. It's worth checking out! read more

Enjoyed the ambiance during the Martinez Farmers's Market- shared a table with strangers and had a good conversation at the patio landscaped with olive trees. Adding a great band playing classic pop, alternative and rock is the icing on the cake! read more

Review 100 of 2017 goes out to a new brewery in town! Awesome brewery run by Martinez locals. Five Suns is located in the up and coming Downtown Martinez. Martinez will be home to three breweries all within a block of one another! Great for a night out with friends. Five Suns has seven beers on tap consisting of an IPA, Amber, Porter, Blonde, Stout, Pale, and a Cream Ale. With the variety, everyone if your party should be able to find something they like. They also offer $2 tasters so you can make a flight or try a few. All of their beers were easy to drink but had are still robust and flavorful. The brewery itself is dog and kid friendly. They plan on adding food in the future, but for now feel free to bring your own. All of the staff was friendly and easily approachable. It was a fun and easy going environment and everyone also enjoying their brews were friendly. The ambiance is great, with lots of woodworking and interesting light fixtures. They do not have heating at the moment, so bring a jacket as it is a little chilly out but drinking to create a beer jacket will also help. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after the Farmers Market. Was excited to see what the hype was all about. Well what a disappointment !! Asked the female bartender for a recommendation since it was our first time visiting and she had an attitude from the very beginning . She rolled her eyes and said to me... Well I don't know your tastes so I don't know what to tell you. Then I asked a few questions which she was so unhelpful, she made my friend and I feel awkward. So we ordered beers that we both hated. Went back and got seltzers that we loved. But honestly we will never go back. It was not a warm and inviting atmosphere thanks to the crappy bartender . read more

I get it! Just when I started to feel a tad bit homesick for Cincy/nky, I stumble across this place. This almost identical to the set up at Braxton Brewery in Covington, Ky, along with the same concept! This brewery is very open. You walk in with a huge open storefront to several tables and a bar. The beer options are on the huge chalkboard menu on the wall. No food is served here, but you are welcome to order delivery from local restaurants or better yet use yelp delivery :) my advice to the brewery is to put that responsibility on the patrons who ordered the food. I saw several food orders come in and the brewery staff had to hunt down the people who ordered it- no bueno. Focus on your customers ordering beer and let the customers watch for their own food. The brewery is towards the back, right past some big Jenga blocks and the bathrooms. Very family friendly and most tables were playing a game, which was so nice to see people not in their phones. They offer samples, which was great so I could taste several of their beers. All of them were really good! And in true Amanda fashion- what's a review from me without a bathroom update. Both gender neutral and very clean and well stocked. And now they have changing tables for all those parents out there. Two new big screens added so you can watch the games! read more

Good beer & great place to meet friends when there is live music. Very relaxing atmosphere.

I think this is the best outdoor brewery space in Contra Costa County. Friendly staff and beer on tap plus some wine/seltzer/cider. Has live music a few days a week, also food trips. Must visit for Martinez. read more

Awesome place wish for outlets for my devices bit amazing warm place MAINLY A YOUNG crowd be warned

Great customer service and great beers! My bf and I really love going to breweries where the bartender knows his stuff and this guy knew his stuff. Had great suggestions and gave us a sample of two drinks we were unsure about. We settled with their Hazy IPA and a hard Seltzer. Both super refreshing. We enjoyed our time here. read more

Five Suns Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Martinez, California

I feel a bit torn writing this review because my husband I love Five Suns. We live in Martinez and have followed their beer for years. We enjoy the beer and service, especially at the new location. The unfortunate part is that this place has become absolutely overrun with young children. We both love kids and can understand that this is a family friendly establishment. However, this Friday evening was a final straw to an ongoing problem. There were kids of all ages screaming, crying, and jumping on and off tables. Many seemed unsupervised as their adults drank and chatted with others. Again, we enjoy kids, but is this a brewery or a playground/Chuck-ee-cheese? The outside area was out of control so we went inside. Sure enough, there were infants and toddlers screaming and running around in the bar area as well. Is this safe? I wish Five Suns would establish some basic expectations to allow all patrons to have a peaceful evening with a few adult beverages. You're better off going to another establishment. read more

Awesome owners. Great to above average beers. Great service and friendly environment. I would definitely recommend a detour if you are driving near or past Martinez. If the leadership of Martinez is smart, I would do everything to assist the two breweries as they are bringing in more and more people who would never bother driving into Martinez. read more

Super great spot. Nice outside area and great beer. I tried the helles belles. Nice lager and nice staff.

A very relaxing place! Lots of room to spread out, good beer and a nice mix of people. A food truck was in front and there is a bar next door. Recommend coming down on a nice sunny day. read more

Great time at Give Suns! Awesome btw and the food truck was delicious! Cheers & Love to Five Suns
