Top shelf items.

Sips has everything you can possible want to drink. We were looking at Eagle Rare and Joe walked up and asked us if we needed help. He was very knowledgeable on all items we asked about. Super helpful and the store is very clean. Very bright and well organized- not like most stores that sell alcohol. The place is classy. They have some great other items like dip and dots, candy, and non alcoholic beverages. Prices are pricey, but if you're looking for something I am pretty sure they have it!

What a great store! It has something for everyone! We walked by with our kid and popped it to check out their candies and adult beverages. Near the front door, you walk by an ice cream fridge with cold bottles of alcohol. You get that same feeling as when you were a kid walking into a had station for ice cream but it was treats for adults. The shelves are stocked with a beautiful display of wines, spirits, and mixers. I liked their wine room with the water art display. The staff seemed friendly, but as we were paying, one staff member had his feathers ruffled by a customer so he made a very loud scene picking up a box of bottles. The staff just all looked at one another and didn't say anything to us. It was an awkward situation.

KV with a special bottle. He has more. Worth the trip to get one. Yummy and special.

Great liquor store and more. Lots of fun treated too. You can find just about everything for a perfect drink. They have ideas to help you. Worth a trip to Benicia for a visit. #BeniciaBest

Liquor store located in Benicia that serves all varieties of alcohol and even tons of candy and items for parties that you can't find in regular liquor stores. They also have had a number of celebrities showcase their alcohol like 50 cent and Steph Curry! Located right down first street there's a small parking lot and some street parking. Looks like a busy spot and the workers are friendly. The store is huge!

Loved coming here. In the front of the store theres a variety of theater candy boxes and non alcoholic drinks! As for the variety of alcohol, I think the images I provided speaks for themselves. The workers were really helpful and kind. This is right on Benicia first street, and though I've always gone to Benicia, I've always missed SIPS so I'm glad I decided to give it a go. Will definitely be coming back!!

This is such a very pretty upscale liquor store. Came here to get a few things. I felt lost and had no clue where to even begin to look for the things I needed. I approached Robin and he was so kind to say 'I can help you find these' and he did. That kind of help is rare these days and I appreciated his help so much - he saved me so much time. A great store, it made me happy being in there - it's very bright, very clean, so many neat things to see and decorated so pretty. The back room is a small room full of wonderful wines and a lovely fountain. Just wow! Thank you again for your help, Robin.

For those who love liquor but are looking to class it up a bit than the regular corner liquor store... Try out Sips in Benicia. Located off the 1st street, this place provides a family friendly...but mostly over 21 vibe for your choice of snacks and sips with a good variety to choose. The guys who run the place seem to be knowledgable and helpful in order to help you find what you need and want. I got a couple of gifts for later projects but I will be coming back to support... Ciao for now!

This place opened earlier this year and have had celebrities come in and promote their liquor ! I missed those, but finally got to make it in there. Their selection is incredible! Not only alcohol, but snacks and candy!!! The perfect place to put together a great gift basket of goodies! The family that owns it and works there are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Sips in Bencia goes beyond what you expect from a local liquor store. This is not just the run of a mill corner shop. Bright lights and shelves of alcohol welcome you. An old-timey car sits in the middle. A waterfall in the wine boutique adds another level of the quality of the store. If you want to practice your golf swings, go to the back and try their golf simulation. As for the alcohol, I'm not going to name every libation they carry. My photos are only a fraction of what they carry. What I look forward to trying is their tasting: wine, tequila, bourbon, etc. Check out the calendar.

1792 Sweet Wheat I scored at Sips
Ryan B.

Clean, well-lit, and very well organized bottle shop with an exceptional selection especially hard to find bourbon. Friendly service, for sure. Stopped in for a bottle of 1792 Sweet Wheat that I was hunting for a while. I was fine paying slightly above msrp for it, but for other more highly allocated stuff, be prepared to pay a premium. Nice craft beer selection as well. If you're a connoisseur of fine whiskeys or beer, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

We had such a great experience at Mare Island Brewing! The historic building has so much character…read moreand such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The big booths were perfect for bringing our toddlers along and made it so easy for everyone to settle in and enjoy themselves. The beer was terrific, the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. They also have a fun children's menu. It's not always easy finding a place where the adults can enjoy great beer and food while still feeling comfortable bringing little ones, and this checked all the boxes for us. We'll definitely be back!

Decided to go to Benicia for some salmon fishing over the Labor Day weekend. Everyone else had the…read moresame idea it seems because the fishing was overcrowded. 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.
