As I'm normally a frequent customer of Whisky Lane because of Marli, I decided to stop by Nu Ray's…read morefor a change of pace and I'm so glad I did. I was warmly greeted by Meagan aka Olivia (She's a hottie)! Wow, Meagan provided exceptional service, tells witty jokes, will cut the rug (dance ) when I good song is playing, and always has a smile on her face....good vibes all around....come in with a good joke and the party begins.....do yourself a favor and check out Nu Ray's and have yourself a PBR!

Two words.... Perfectly Imperfect!!!…read more Every time that I go to this establishment I am taken back by the old school Cheers vibe! To be honest, I have only been there a handful of times, but when you know, you know! Unfortunately, I missed the owner, Kathy, tonight, but every time I see her there she greets me with kind words and a hug. It makes me feel like a regular or even a long lost best friend! I probably visit this business about 3 times a year. Yet, every time I do I ask myself why don't I go here more often! On this visit, I was lucky enough to see one of the old bouncers, Daniel and met the new bouncer, Bobby. They were both very cordial and welcoming, while their wandering eyes and presence seemed to remind us patron's that our conduct was being monitored. Tonight, Danielle was behind the bar. She slayed it!!! It seemed like there was not an empty cup in the house (unless by choice). She was very attentive and efficient. It was as though each and every person in the bar was her most important customer! It was refreshing (much like the tasty drinks that she poured). This is not the first time I left Nu-Rays feeling this way, as Rose may be one of the best bartenders I have come across... always quick to welcome new arrivals with a friendly smile when the time allows, but when the sh*t hits the fan and the clients are circling the bar ready to pounce on a drink like a cheetah on an antelope.... Rose is all business passing out drinks like Rich Gannon to Tim Brown. Lara is another bartender that come to mind. I was very impressed with Lara. She was quick to answer questions with a recommendation for a drink that may change your life.... Or at least your mood for the night. In fact, I have been impressed with all of the bartenders that I have met there. I own a business in Martinez and have found myself at a couple of the drinking establishments in the area and none of them... and I mean none of them... can hold a candle to Nu-Rays! I've tried them all at one time or another and I must say Nu-Rays is top notch! I Love the old school down to earth feel... and you know what... after thinking about the cheers vibe.... I'm going to try and make them yell "COREY!!!" when I come in the bar. That my friend is what they call icing on the cake!

The bar is connected to a coffeehouse and is located in the back, a very small area, but there was enough space and seating for the handful of visitors on this quiet evening. A clean and inviting setting with simple decor. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had the Tom Collins and Belixir and agreed that the cocktails here are pretty good. This cool and casual spot was perfect for spending time with family and friends after celebrating a birthday at a nearby venue.

The place is good for groups of four. We had a group of six and the only table big enough had a pillar in the middle. Not a deal breaker. But made communication interesting. They got rules for the jukebox. That's a nice touch. The bar itself doesn't seem like the kind of joint you goto for pure inebriation. It's definitely feels like and after work meal and drinks kind of place. Not a bad thing. Definitely a chill. The bathroom. Is sobering reminds of a Coca Cola ad. Nothing coke related in it. Just really bright white and red tiling. But 10/10 for poopability. The foods a bit pricey for what you get, but it's delicious. The speed of service is great. That staff are fantastic. All in all a great place

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!

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.

(This is where you the reader involuntarily snap your fingers) Yes, the decor is quirky and fun and worthy of exploring fully. The food is very pub fare with a great Prime rib special on Fridays and Saturdays. The wyfe had the prime rib and found it a bit grisly but tasted good even having to spit out bits on gristle onto her plate. I had the Steak Sandwich. Was very tasty including all the grease that dribbled down my chin. I was told it was made from leftover prime rib and one could tell it was a higher quality meat. And the 200+ beers is wonderful, all reasonably priced which was great in an era when many places are starting to price their beers $10+. I will want to the cocktails. Interestingly the bar is very high making the patrons look very short and/or heads on a long board. Did I mention the ooky vibe? Adding to the experience is the drive to get there. Lots of very windy roads with drop offs and spooky trees (did they plan that?). I found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful which contrasted to some of the reviews citing rude and vulgar behavior. Perhaps that is something I could have asked for that would underscore the true dive experience. The town is cool and quirky too. Definitely worth a look
