All stars Went to Brix & Craft on a Friday night and had great drinks. The bartender was very friendly and even made a bartender's choice special for my friend, which was delicious. The place was busy, but she handled it well and kept checking on everyone. I always enjoy coming here for good wine, drinks, and conversation. Great spot to meet up with friends or coworkers! read more

The issue with the four featured cocktails we tried is that the spirit in each was overshadowed by the other ingredients. A proper cocktail should have its non-spirit ingredients complement the spirit. Our drinks were created by people who pretended to understand mixology but weren't real bartenders. This is evinced by the bar staff on tonight, a Friday night, not being able to find the correct glassware, having to 360 twice to find all of the ingredients for each cocktail, not understanding where each bourbon is located on their wall, and never smiling once for any customer in the restaurant over a period of two hours, let alone attempt an ounce of conversation. We tried our best to enjoy ourselves but found it nearly impossible as the staff was clearly overheated and uninterested by an average workload where real bartenders and customers they serve should have been having an awesome Friday night. Pizza was good. As I posted my review above, I immediately saw the below auto-response from the owner assuming the female bartender was the problem. She was, but so were the male bartenders, and an owner who would set an auto response for a Yelp review before even reading it is exactly the issue that starts from the top and is described above. This is what happens when you probably want to own a bar rather than running a good bar. read more

Second time in here with my partner and the same crew including a baby in a stroller. Both times we sat way in the back. Really nice place. Food menu is totally better than adequate and the drinks are great. We had a variety of eats and all were great. I like pizza but don't eat a lot cause of the carbs but I make an exception here. Staff is more than accommodating, espicially since we had a stroller and a little one. Up front the space is wider and there are a couple tables as you walk in. The rest is a long bar with a narrow isle and tables against the wall. The whole layout reminds me of many of the establishments we frequented in Serbia. So 2 times in already and next time in Martinez we will be back again. read more

Delicious cocktails, great friendly service, good food! Gotta come back on a Sunday for the Tiki drinks!

It's criminal that I've yet to review this gem after coming to so many years! The bar is cozy and warm with amazing staff. The bartenders always ensure your drink is perfect and they make many unique and tasty beverages. I would say they are some of the best mixologists in the CoCo County! The food is always tasty and fresh and the pizza is a delicious crowd pleaser. If you're in Martinez and want a fun time with great drinks this stop should be on your list. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a spur of the moment date night and were shocked to discover that Market on Main closed! We walked around town trying to decide where to eat when we stepped inside this spot. Service was great, the food was so good and the cocktails were even better! I'll definitely be back for more flatbread pizzas and cocktails in the near future. read more

We popped into Brix & Craft with friends for a bite and a drink on Saturday night, and had a baby in a stroller along with the crew. We didn't want to sit at the tables by the door, it was chilly, so we moseyed on down the bar and kind of set up shop alongside the bar and at a couple of seats by the wall. The staff never asked us to move, and were nothing but accommodating, which I very much appreciate. We ordered some drinks, and a pizza, chicken wings, and brussels sprouts to share. The house margarita was $7, I believe, super reasonable. The bartender made a couple of extras by accident (wink wink) which we happily accepted. For the pizza, we went with the Napoleon, half with meat, half meat-free. Everyone agreed the brussels sprouts would have been better on their own without the tempura batter. Overall, the food was totally adequate for bar food. The staff was nice and totally accommodating to our group. Would return and recommend this Martinez spot when in the area. read more

Always a good spot for a cocktail! Super helpful and knowledgeable bartenders who have a flair for making fun cocktails. Great selection of whiskey! The pizzas are really tasty and they've got a decent selection there too. Fun and cute atmosphere with a few tables and a long bar. Been here a dozen times and will continue to visit! read more

Strolled down here after dinner in Walnut Creek looking for a good place for martinis. After looking all over downtown, we finally stumbled upon this literal hole in the wall of a bar. Asked the girl at the bar if she can make a martini and she assured me she could. came back with the best martini I've ever had, bonus points for the extra olives!! If you like martinis, you know how specific they have to be to be actually good so I was impressed. read more

Loved stumbling upon this cool, cozy, crafty bar/eatery! Popped in for a bite with a friend and we shared a flatbread and pizza, with a couple slices to spare. I forgot the name of the flatbread but it had brie cheese, pear, bacon, balsamic, onions - it was creamy & sweet. The PO pizza was loaded with meats & a balsamic drizzle, more on the savory side compared to the flatbread. They were both delicious. The bartender was super cool and friendly. Although we didn't get any drinks this time, we peeped the menu and saw how extensive it is and it has something for everyone. Will definitely have to come back to try a fun cocktail. Love the vibe here! read more

This is hands down the highest quality cocktail bar in Martinez. This place has an expansive selection of spirits and talented bartenders who can create personalized drinks depending on a customers tastes. Everything here seems precise. The place is branded as a craft cocktail house and they are just that. It's nice to have somewhere local that can fulfill that itch. Tonight I had a simple smoked old fashioned with blackstrap bitters and a salted caramel espresso martini. They were both delicious. If you at all enjoy espresso martinis they have a quietly listed selection of multiple riffs and if the others are as good as the one I tried, then they are listed much too quietly. Please try them for me. I also tried one of their pizzas. It was a breaded chicken parm pizza with basil and olive oil. It was one of the best pizzas I've had in Martinez. I really like the place. The long bar had plenty of space for me to walk through and the bathroom was clean. The only slight complaint I can come up with is that they didn't have clear ice, but I'm just personally a sucker for clear ice in cocktails. I get it isn't that easy. Still, I can confidently say I will be back. read more

Also several incredible bourbans and lots of high end tequila choices, and they always have at least one sour beer... All my faves! You can expect without fail great service and friendly vibes.

What a cool spot in downtown Martinez! Excellent fully stocked bar with an amazing wine selection. They also have a big whiskey selection. We stopped in and had mimosas on weekend (choice of OJ, cranberry juice, pineapple, etc). It's really popping. The food looked great but we already had lunch so didn't order anything. Bartender Lainy has her own special drink menus on Sunday, so go to the farmers market and stop by after. read more

Brix & Craft - Mimosas! I think they are only $8, so good! - Wine Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

The drinks are good. The food, 'eh'. But there is a Zombie shop two doors down. Go grab a Zombie or two, bring them back to sit outside and enjoy a beer. The ambience is a 'dark bar' with an upscale twist. It's a little cramped; I preferred sitting outside. The bathrooms are huge and clean. I always check out the bathroom of a restaurant; it tells you everything you need to know about the kitchen. Trust me. In another life and place, I was a line cook and server, and I cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen. I liked the lady bartender - she was fun to speak with and explained her philosophy of drink creation. We talked a little about the pharmaceutical beginnings of cocktails - herbs, digestifs, and cures. If the interior were a little brighter, I would prefer it--just my feelings - in case that matters to you. read more

I met Corey the owner and was impressed with his passion for his city and his business. Corey runs one of the best spots in Martinez, he is the unofficial mayor and knows EVERYONE lol. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly it has a great location right on Main Street, making it perfect for a casual night out or a weekend/Sunday watching the game with friends. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely enjoy what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. Brix & Craft is one of Martinez's best spots. Always a great experience highly recommend! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday celebration. It's a very small bar that serves pizza and small bites. I didn't eat much, but I did try a slice of pizza and it had a nice thin crust and good cheese to meat ratio. For drinks, I tried the espresso martini, which was OK and then some beer. I was mostly there for the company. It was karaoke night and we had a good time. The staff was very welcoming and the host for karaoke was also super engaging. It is a cute little bar and cozy for small groups. I'd never thought I'd end up here, but for friends, anything is possible. (No pictures, as I was just living in the moment) read more

Absolutely outstanding service and delicious craft cocktails!!! Let me first say - I have never reviewed anything on Yelp. But I had such an amazing time last night It would feel criminal not to share. This place had a killer vibe - with a bar that stretched the whole length of the narrow room and a huge wall of spirts with an incredible selection. My bartender was totally attentive (and hot!) and took care of me the whole night. Even though every seat was filled in the whole place she was on top of it. I never had to sit there with an empty glass because she was checking on me before I finished each drink. Mixology was on point! She was riffing on a lemon drop making this delicious creation she called a Lemon Meringue pie. Don't know what she did but the drink had this silky foam head that smelled and tasted JUST LIKE LEMON MERINGUE PIE! The owner was super cool and served me one of their signature pizzas called the PO and I crushed this thing. Run don't walk. 10/10 will definitely be back. read more

Very cute spot. Huge variety of drinks and great pizza! The service is always amazing and the specialty drinks are hand crafted and so tasty! You can even get them smoked! Great spot will be my new regular place read more

Great bartender. I enjoyed the thin crust pizza and good local beer. It's kind of a long skinny joint but enjoyable if you find a spot.

Great service, drinks and food. The pizza was tasty with the perfect crunch to it. There is indoor and outside seating. Located right down the street from vibey live music and feels perfect for a summer night. Lots of drink variety! We will be back! read more

I know this place is known for their upscale drinks. It's a great little find in downtown Martinez! I went on a lunch date and ordered sandwiches and they were amazing! I loved the ambience inside, but they also had outdoor seating and because it was such a beautiful day we opted for that. The menu is seriously worth the drive! read more

Did this place add more things to their menu?! I don't remember pizzas here 9 months ago! LOL! And more cocktails?! Anyway, still great service & cocktails. But now I retract my previous statement about eating somewhere else, because their pizzas are yummy! Definitely would order this over their flatbread. read more

Cozy atmosphere, great wine, and hands down some of the best pizza in the East Bay. While they don't have a vegan pizza on the menu, they'll make one if you bring your own cheese--which is absolutely worth the grocery store stop and a few extra bucks. Corey is always welcoming and accommodating, even keeping a specific wine in stock because he knows my husband and I love it. Thoughtful touches like that (plus amazing pizza and wine) keep us coming back. A definite favorite! read more

Came here for the first time on my birthday last Friday. Decided to have dinner here after seeing the delicious looking pizzas. Had a pizza with brie cheese, arugula, apple and balsamic drizzle and it was delicious. One pizza was enough to share between my boyfriend and I, and still had leftovers. My boyfriend tried the rotating sour beer they had on tap. I had their house cava and their award-winning cocktail. Can't remember the name but it was spicy and had a tajin & salt rim and was delightful. We sat outside where we listened to live music and enjoyed the sunset. It was a pleasant experience and will be back soon. read more

Fantastic Cocktails. We ordered the following: - The Pink Dragon - Lost Thyme (my favorite) - Ocean Breeze (very NEW and a must try!) - Soccer Mom Bomb - Red Headed Sour - Mules Each drink was very well done. We ordered a few rounds of each. The mixologist, Hailey, would often check in with us and I asked her to surprise me with a cocktail with a bourbon base. She whipped up a drink that quickly turned into the favorite of the evening for the whole table. It had a black cherry flavor to it and was well balanced. Beyond the cocktails, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE PIZZAS! Corey serves up an impressive menu of artisan pizzas. Between our party, we had the following: - Margherita Pizza x2 - Tuscan Pizza x2 - The Contract These were piping hot and straight from the oven. Be careful when you channel your "One Bite Everyone Knows The Rule" impression as straight from the oven means just that. These were so good that I plan on returning soon to order some pies to-go. I wish I had photos to share so I'll be sure to do so next round. The location is easily accessible in downtown, be mindful of the "No Parking" signs and grab a spot around the corner where it's metered and available. It's a narrow space but the bar top is long and makes for great conversation between patrons and groups. Give these guys a try for your next outing. We'll be back again soon! read more

This establishment from food, to craft cocktails, to service, music selection & ambiance has been nothing but outstanding! The selection of food & craft cocktails is amazing. The drink I got is Luna Amore & it literally stole my heart. You can tell the mixologists really have perfected the taste of every drink. Now the service, also very exceptional! Brayden is who took care of us, & he was so attentive & answered all of our questions. (Good service isn't easy to come by these days so HUGE kudos to him.) Will definitely be coming back for the service & drinks. read more
