Hillside Tap Room & Eatery - The #3 Lager watermelon cucumber lime!! - Beer Bar Near Me - Martinez, California

Hands down probably some of the best calamari, fish and chips, clam chowder and hot dogs you could get in Martinez. Beer selection is on point, and if you need help deciding the staff is right there to help you out Great location and super chill vibe. if you've got some time to kill this is the spot to go read more

The beets and goat cheese is fantastic. Great high octane beers as well. Another great Martinez place to visit. Best town in the USA.

P's Way is the only way. That's literally what I'd tell someone if they were confused about what kind of wings to get. You look at the description and you almost wonder if all of that is a little...too much. I'm here to tell you that it's not. It's the only way. There's just something about the zing and tang of combining both the Lemon Pepper with the Buffalo sauce that takes the flavors to a whole new level. On top of that you get a hint of sweetness with the hot honey. These are some of my favorite wings in town. Possibly actual favorite. I need to come back and have them again really soon. But just know that if you are wings fan, you gotta try P's Way. The Fish and Chips and Mac were also good. The Fish seemed a little less flavorful than I thought it was gonna be. The fries made it up for them though. I couldn't stop munching on those. The Mac was solid. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a just really good dish that was straight to the point. I just obviously was super obsessed with these wings when I went. The inside is very homey. Has a more publike vibe. I walk in and almost imagine that I'm on the water or at a pier or something. The people working here are usually very nice. The very last time I came here a guy took my order and forgot one of our items but I think he was new. Luckily this girl with a long blonde ponytail who had served us before asked us if we got everything. When we told her about our missing item she apologized a whole bunch and made everything better. Oh and of course they have amazing beers. Our favorites are the rotation of Dark Beers, Mexican Lagers and Ciders that they have. We have yet to ever have a bad pour. Im pretty sure if you like beer there should be something for everyone. Even Wine slushies if you don't care for beer. Hillside was one of me and my wife's places we would go to when we shortly lived in Martinez. Even though we are a bridge away, we can't wait to come back sometime soon. read more

Torn between 3.5 and 4 stars so rounded up. Popped in on a Thurs and it was pretty quiet but service was great. Food was solid as noted below. Bellini cocktail was enjoyed by the wife. Tall pour of Wondrous IPA was delicious, just wish the glass wasn't frozen. Remembered they were in Concord as Hillside Dogs and this is a step up. Clam Chowder.... tasty, not fishy, good consistency Spicy Chicken Sando..... not very spicy, tender chicken, tasty slaw, good bread, decent sandwich. Fries were very tasty! Fisher & Chips... bit bready, mild fishy taste, big meal for a single female, fries were superb. Overall, decent experience. Looks like easy parking - we had parked a few blocks away to visit another spot and walked over. read more

We stopped in before watching the sturgeon's play at the nearby ball field. Quite welcoming and a very old school vibe. Love the fun antique fishing gear and all of the local beer on tap. We had a couple of drinks... I had a nicely chilled rose wine and Keith had a red beer. Drinks were perfect and Keith loved the red beer. You do have to walk up to the register to order food, so just note you can't order while sitting at the bar. I ordered fried calamari and a fresh rice bowl with grilled shrimp. The calamari was delicious with a light batter and very tender! Came with 2 dips a tartar and spicy marinara. The rice bowl was huge and so amazingly fresh! We will definitely come here again... great service, vibe, drinks, and food! read more

Great drinks! Would recommend the frosè, great to cool down on a hot day :) Yes kind staff and very cozy, cool vibes in the decoration yes yes read more

We always enjoy the vibes here but since they opened the garden and game area outside, it's SUPER amazing!! They have created a super awesome area to relax in! Our new fave spot, especially for summer nights! read more

Beer selection is Awesome! 12 Taps, They recommend the 'Father knows West' From Morgan Territory for a West Coast IPA. Nice, clean WCIPA with a Very Smooth Finish! Cant wait to come back and try the rest of the beer selections! Great, friendly & inviting customer service too! read more

I ordered a Chicago Dog (4 Stars) The dog was good size with flavorful. The bun was not a traditional poppy seed bun but rather a soft roll, I'm sure they use the same roll for all the dogs. It holds up to all the ingredients. They put on all the traditional Chicago Dog stuff but use normal sweet relish which is much better than the true Chicago bright green. Overall guys stuff! Until next time.. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my mom today. Soft drinks served in a can, no ice available to transfer soda to a glass with ice. Also, heads up NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED, VENMO AND CASH ONLY. Dogs were good, I wonder if they changed their bun vendor... read more

This place looked like a cool little spot to check out in Martinez. Way more expensive than I expected though. Food was okay but not even close to worth the price I paid to eat and drink. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. Service was sub par as the server just didn't attend to us at all. Maybe skip this place if your in the area. read more

The place has been redone, looks nice inside, just don't look too close; i.e., started off sitting by the windows only to notice lots of little dead bugs in the sill, we moved. You order first, then take a seat. The gal was nice, took our order. There was an order of the Spicy Chicken Sando & a side of Chili Bowl & 2 slushes of the day. Not trying to be mean here, yet the chili tasted canned - meh . The spicy chicken was, I'm lacking the words, messy, a tad ? Okay in short not great - meh That leaves the 2 slushes - if I was at the marina & it was a hot day I'd stop by & get one. In short not my type of place; I'm sure it's someone else's as an acquaintance suggested it & we obviously have very different tastes in foods. read more

I love this place! Great beer selection, the chicken wings & chili cheese fries are fire. The frosé is so tasty. Can't wait to try more of their food. read more

I think this places closed, they are never open. Even when Yelp says they are open they never are

Ok so weird cause the credit card machine seems to be down a lot here I guess. Previous comments. You pay through Venmo or cash. I mean if you are a local it's whateves. So it was Pride at the Martinez front, and when we were waking we stopped on by! If you are an adult and want a delicious beverage..... stop here!! The wine slushi is fire. the red wine one is sooooo good. Perfect consistency and just the right of sweetness. You walk in and there are a few tables and plenty of bar seating. What I love is their patio! Martinez, please don't hassle them, it's a mom and pop just trying to make it. The trains pass through so it might be loud, but if your like Sheldon from big bang theory you would love it!! Not only did we come back the same day, we tried a couple of their beers on tap! Also, their beer mugs are so frosty, mmmmmm can't wait to try the food. Dog friendly!!! read more

Great service, beer and food was great. We used to come here when they just served hot dogs but now that they expanded their menu it's even better! read more

Amazing food great service and a beautiful spot to eat and get a beer. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who is in this area.

We are locals who walk downtown frequently and this is one of our favorite go to places. Love the food, the rotating craft beer list, the people and location. The recent addition of the 21+ beer garden is fantastic. Looking forward to hanging out in the garden as the summer weather approaches! read more

I loved it! Loved the atmosphere, The beer selection was amazing, I chose the Gummy Worms, its a hazy IPA! I definitely recommend for a great day or evening to spend in the beer garden! And Casey was so great, sharing their beer selection with us! Recommend 100% read more

Classic burger was amazing and Cooked perfectly. Fries are nice and crisp. Bad apple cider was delicious and fresh. Service was amazing. Staff held fun conversations between service. Will be back again read more

Great beer and patio!! Service is great, staff is super friendly and having a good time here! Thank you!

Beer selection here is good, not a bunch of opinions but they are rotating the taps all the time. There's always something different here, and it's always good. Service is great and the staff is very friendly. Food is good too. read more

Great tap room! Best beer in town! Love having a local place to drink great Notion and brix factory.

We dropped in on a Sunday to have their signature hot dogs. No hot dogs on the menu and told no hot dogs on the weekends. Very disappointing. Won't be back. read more

Was hungry before a recent train ride and remembered Hillside was close to the Amtrak station in Martinez. I was a little pressed for time and mentioned so to the very nice cashier lady. She asked the cook to expedite my order and, viola, soon after I had a Chicago dog, made my train on time and had a lovely experience! Thanks Hillside!!! read more

Looking for a fun and casual place, Hillside fits the bill! They have a big list of fantastic dogs and sausages on the menu! The refurbished building is an intimate fun place, the friendly staff are super helpful and you will enjoy the fun options on the menu. We had the Bacon, which is a smoked brat with cheese, bacon and onions. The fries have a delicious seasoning with a touch of sweet. My friend had one of the many micro brews in tap and I had a frozen sangria - delicious! They also have rotating flavors of frozen Froses. Check them out! read more

Hillside is great. I've been here three times now: once when they first opened and then two times more recently. The menu is way better than when they first opened. It's varied and not just hotdogs at all! The food is good. The beer is on tap and the glasses are chilled! They have a hard root beer on tap that is a big hit with non beer drinkers. The service has been great all three times I've been there, warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is very clean. While some people might say it's overpriced, where isn't? Please tell me, because I went to W.C. the night before and one glass of wine was the price a good bottle!!! Yes, the prices could come down a dollar or two on food items, but that's not going to keep me from going to Hillside when I go other places that are not as good and equally expensive. read more

I want to love this place, but I can't. The food is overpriced, the card machine is always "broken", the window seating always has dead bugs lying around, and the service is a hit or miss. I distinctly said two hotdogs since there were two of us and after a long wait, the cashier came out with one. Apparently he didn't hear me. The beer selection is good and location is great, but that's it. read more

Wonderful staff, great service, delicious food. The whole package! Preston was kind enough to host our event and we couldn't have found a better venue! Thank you guys! read more

Go back to the drawing board on the fish and chips. They could be better. They were $$. The fish looked like a really dark brown soggy corndog. Fries were delish though. read more

Food was horrible... cashier had an attitude! Had the lettuce wraps, wilted lettuce and few pieces of chicken served on some cold rice - definitely not worth the $19! read more

Delicious hot dogs and a generous selection of beer, wine, and wine slushies. Service is a little slow and they appear to still be figuring out the order to table delivery and clean up process. Overall, this is a great spot for Martinez and I'll definitely be returning! read more

Hillside Tap Room & Eatery - Beer Bar Near Me - Martinez, California

Be warned, and the reason for 1 star - WAY overpriced for what it is. I can only believe they are trying to soak out-of-towners and the local legal community (Attorneys). Wow--where do I begin? We stopped in here because we want to support local businesses. It's cute in a funky way. Lots of parking available, free on Sundays. We had our kids with us, so this would be an excellent spot for a late lunch. It was Okay. Nothing that I would say--WOW, this is such a great find. The food was okay, the fries were delicious, and the burgers were good. The hot dog (slaw dog) was "eh" - the bun was soggy, and the coleslaw tasted like it came from Safeway. Our food order consisted of: Shared large fries. Three hamburgers One hot dog 2 sodas 2 beers. With tax and tip... $134. Yeah, the prices are posted, and usually I do the math in my head. But this one really caught me off guard. WTH... I didn't know until I was reconciling our bank statement and saw the charge. I called my husband to double-check and make sure we weren't overcharged or that some other shenanigan wasn't going on. Nope--he said it was correct. read more

This place has the best beer in all of Martinez. I noticed the owner only puts beer on tap that is the best of the best. No cheap stuff. A huge selection and if it doesn't taste good it isn't on their tap. Lots of unique beers but all just soooooo good. I have also found that they have a Hard Cider or 2 on tap at all times. It's so nice to have a good variety of beer and hard cider and not a single one disappoints. My wife likes to get Champagne and mimosas and they have wine also. I seriously love their beers they keep on tap. Have I said it enough? Nobody else gets it. Just serve good beer and this places sticks to the code. Lately I have been guzzling down the Irish Red they have. I have been here at least 20+ times since they opened. Never a bad experience. Owners are super cool people and run a tight ship I noticed. Then there is the food. The hot chicken sandwiches are freaking amazing!!!! All the hot dogs and sausages. Then the wings. I am so picky with wings. I am from east coast and wings need to be on point. This place has the bomb wings. Can't get enough of them. Today I tried the fish and chips and it was so good I had to do a review. The breading and the amount of solid huge pieces of fish is crazy. Onion rings on point. And the fries, somehow the oil they cook them in just makes the food so good. You literally eat every single french fry. My wife got the Sparkling Mimosa today and she said it was really good. I don't have a single complaint about this place. The bathrooms are down the hall far enough away from the drinking and eating area. Lots of bench tables and a bar style high stool sitting area wraps the entire place around the windows. Then you have the bar to sit at if you want to have a few drinks and watch the trains. They have tv's for sports games. This place has the best food. Everything on this menu is high quality stuff. You can't go wrong. I'll be going here for years and years. read more

My first experience was poor... Unfriendly service and a hotdog that was way overpriced and nothing special. Months later I decide to give you a second chance... Once again, met with the rudest bartender/server. Just wanted a bowl of good old clam chowder but come to find out it doesn't even come with French bread just oyster crackers and you guys wanna charge one dollar an ounce!!! There is no way I'm paying you eight dollars for one cup of soup. You really had an opportunity to bring to Martinez an affordable quick lunch option that tasted good but you've blown it on all accounts... I'm done. read more
