My husband and I love venturing out and trying new foods and atmospheres. We ended up at the Relik Tavern. Loved the food, service, & music. We had such a fun time. So glad we came across it during our outing to Benicia.

This place seriously felt like finding a gem. Really cool bartender and an overall feeling like you were coming back home. A great find overall. The lumpia was the draw for me and they delivered.

This place is pretty cool. The live band was awesome. Listening to good old music from an ex guitarist from Tower of Power was pretty cool. We had the Hail Mary which is a bloody mary with a meal on top. The chicken slider was slightly over cooked. I would have done 5 stars.

Great time w some friends. Had drinks n hor doeuvres. Phil was awesome. Cheers!

The food is amazing, and the servers awesome., very nice establishment, however the BARTENDER was VERY rude (his abrupt irritated rude tone) when I asked for a specific server. He said, I don’t know I’m just the bartender, he could have directed me to a manager. Makes me not want to come back here. You don’t speak to patrons that way. I even know this as I’m a Bartender myself.

The Rellik is fantastic. Ive been there multiple times before and after the pandemic and every time was great. This last particular time happened to be for my birthday and Terran made it extra special. The drinks are fantastic and the food is the same.

A really nice Place! An extensive wine list and wonderful food. We went there to listen to music And had a great afternoon. The staff was very attentive and top-notch!. We had a waitress named Jess. She gets five stars as well!

It took 15 minutes to get noticed when my friends and I sat at the bar. It seemed like service was mainly only at one crowded end of the bar even though there were two bartenders. Once we got the drinks it was fine, the cocktails were light and refreshing and the mocktail was similar. I hope it was just that they are training new people or they arent used to having the bar open for so long or something because its got great ambiance and drinks. Just wish the service was better.

First time there. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Very fun place.

So comfy, had a lovely experience having appetizers and drinks. Definitely be back, I love the big couches, staff was friendly, ambiance was nice.

My favorite place in Benicia, excelent service and very good food and drinks,we enjoyed all the pizzas, also the french fries are to die for!

What a great place to hear live music and grab a drink. Great service, great vibe, overall chill place

Friendly service.. good patio music events.. and I love their fried green beans .

This is the spot to be in Benicia! Taryn is so attentive and friendly she is the best bar tender! We loved our experience at Rellik, super good food and drinks, Amazing service, great vibes, and fun music! Asian pear martinis made by Taryn are a must here!

Always have had a good time here. Was impressed by the bartending staff. Especially recently. They have a few real pros. Go here if you want a proper cocktail

AMAZING DRINKS FOOD AND SERVICE🙌🙌🙌 had the “Bruce Wayne” which was bourbon, organic maple syrup and double shot of espresso..top 3 drink I’ve had 💯... wife got the sweet heat jalapeño martini and was amazed..we just got an app (cheese board) and the cheeses and accessories were yummy. Service was top notch. We’ll be back!

Love this bar on the main drag. The music on the back patio is lots of fun, their bites are delicious and reasonably priced. Their drinks are strong. The vibe inside is eclectic and cool. Looking forward to when there will be dancing inside.

Great bar, incredible ambiance, the staff is very friendly and helpful. There are many cool paintings on the walls, the exposed brick wall gives the place a special look. They have a stage and live music is played often. I am not sure about schedules though, but I have been there twice and there were a band playing ok both occasions. They also have this thin fries that are to die for. If you are around and wants to go to a cool place, the Rellik Tavern is your place to go to.

Amazing atmosphere and great food. Love the staff and couches. The hot cocoa was delicious and went great with the yummy donut holes! You gotta try them. Live music at 9:30.

Love the Battered Green Beans. Get them every time. And the spicy margarita was actually spicy. Props for the muddled jalapeño. Definitely would go back for another.

The Rellik is an awesome spot with good food, well made cocktails, a damned decent beer selection and the staff are all amazing. Debbie, the owner, is a huge sweetheart. This is the best spot in the area, for sure.

Unbelievable food and drinks with live music. Its a great place to go and have fun.

Great bar! Friendly staff, great cocktails, nice decor and good prices plus great live music. Highly recommend.

This spot obviously knows how to satisfy their clients. Regularly with a nice attitude. The food is fairly priced, always delightful and neat.

This is the kind of place where a woman can go alone for a drink and to talk to people and feel safe and not get hassled. Good drinks, great food menu and friendly people!

Great beer selection and super customer service.

The Rellik is a really cute little cocktail bar with such a great atmosphere. Extensive cocktail menu and really great fish and chips! They have a great menu but I have only had the fish and chips. Everything sounds really good and they do have great reviews

My companions and I had the garlic 🍟s, fish 🌮s, and mango 🍺 - delicious!!! Service was excellent.NOTE: I only post if I can give 5⭐s.

Cool spot for a drink and a bite. Chicken sliders were legit. Friendly staff.

The Rellik is a very comfortable and cozy tavern. And a great place to listen to artists perform live.

The atmosphere is great and the Chocolate Martinis are the BEST

Always a great place to go. The music is great. Outdoors because of covid. Limited seating because of the space. Great food and drinks and the staff at the Tavern are really nice and comforting to make their place feel like you are at home.

Great beer on tap.

Loved the Rellik Tavern. Awsome place for drinks and the back patio is awesome to hang out and good atmosphere. Great seating is awesome. Cant wait to go again. Oh!!! Good food too🍻👍✌🍻🍻🍷🍸🍻🥃

Great service and food and drinks were delicious.

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The meals are fantastic and the crew is welcoming and cooperative. Every time we visit this place we enjoy a cheerful evening. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Great food, great environment and great waitress; hey Sydney!

Great evening on the patio with live music.

Very accommodating staff. Drinks were excellent. The food was curiously amazing!

Didnt eat, just had cocktails & made new friends. Seems like a cool place to chill and day drink.

I enjoy everything about this place. The owner, the help, service, food, the music & sports watching by TV. Great atmosphere.

Awesome service, tasty food and drinks.

We loved our bartender Brittany! I came in with some friends and my boyfriend and we had the best time! Thanks guys! What am experience!

Great staff...and the newly renovated outdoor area is Awesome. Very comfortable with fantastic music.

Great service, drinks and food.

Always love the Rellik. Awesome food, staff and music. Outside patio has live acoustic duos.

Great music, great ambiance and great food!!

Always good vibes there. Their drinks and food are amazing. I’m not even a big drinker but the way they make drinks I may just turn into a casual alcoholic.

Fantastic ombiance. The food and cocktails were delicious. Owners were super nice.

Covid has thjs place pretty quiet for a Thursday night. Glad its open and staff is working. Awesome chicken wings!!

If the bar is busy a long line forms at the the door. The door security person informs people as they line up due to fire code regulations people may enter when other patrons exit. This is perfectly fine. Unfortunately the hostess is willing to let random people cut the line.Thank you to the owner of the Rellik for responding to my review. I have visited the establishment on more than one occasion and am aware of the VIP and reservation tables. On this particular night as we waited in line in the doorway a patron who was inside with a table told the hostess to add 2 more people to his table and he gave her $10 as the entry fee for his 2 new added guest. When his 2 new guest showed up the hostess called out loudly the names of just 2 people. When the 2 people came to the front of the line there was a total of 4 people all together. The security doorman quickly reacted due to the bar already being at capacity and stopped the extra 2 people whose names were not called out. The hostess then waived the 2 extra people in who were not on the list. She then asked them for $10 more dollars. The security doorman shook his head and looked away. Adding 2 people last minute to a table and allowing random un-named extra guest to enter when I have already been waiting 45 minutes due to the room being at capacity is unfortunate on behalf of the hostess.

The music was great and our waitress was sweet. The rest of the staff was rude. My wife has MS and her gate is shuffled and demenor is a bit eager and loud. The 3 in charge people were on us the minute we came in. They said it was because we didnt have reservations. There was plenty if room. They sat us and told us we could stay till other partys came in. The msnager reminded me 3 times snd 2 of her staff remined me twice. Each time I pollitely said we would move as soon as needed. Each time though they were extremly rude. I know its covid and cleaning is needed behind each party. They however made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. They never cleaned our spot when we left and 2 new customers replaced us. We will never go there again.

Tuesday night trivia and open mic are a must do...great staff, food, drinks, atmosphere and music!

Awesome place with great food and great music!

I had The Works spicy bloody Mary with Titos. Can I say WOW? There really was The Works on there! My husband tried a few of MANY choices of ales.This is a great place to hang! Youve really got to try this place out by yourself or with a group of friends...

Good people. Open mic is great. Good food and good service. Crash Wilson is the bomb! Along with others at open mic.

Whether youre a belly up to the bar type or are partial to comfy chairs, this is a welcoming and well run spot.I visited this establishment during Benicias Peddlers Fair and the staff was astonishingly on point given the fact that tens of thousands of people were strolling up and down 1st Street.They were attentive and and prompt with service despite the fact that this must be their highest demand day of every year.Only one caveat: the live music was good quality but exceptionally loud. This may not be easily remedied but it would be great if possible.

Awesome place

Excellent Food and a Great, Hail-Merry!!!!...

Great food ambiance and service.

Two words. Goth night.This place is made for Goth Night on the last Thursday of every month. Get your black clothes and eyeliner on. Its time for some spooky fun. Be ready to dance. Plus... the food here is great!

Great excellent place to relax and unwine from the everyday pandemic norms of today...enjoy their delicious array dishes and abundant selection of drinks to satisfy anyones pallet. Check out the new back patio lounge area that is COVID compliant with Benicia. But help them keep everyone safe and compliant so we have a place to enjoy in the days to come, cheers!

We had the hail mary. Best bloody mary ever. Every appetizer the have on top of it. Its a full meal and a drink

I thought this was going to be a little hole in the wall place, and was surprised to see a beautiful classic looking bar with several lounge seating areas. The service was prompt and courteous, drinks made well balanced, but we have to talk about the food.AMAZING!We got a spread of menu items to try and everything was perfect and way beyond my expectations. Beautifully prepared and plated, the cooks turned a simple night out for drinks into a special occasion.

This was my first time at this bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Seemed like it was a 30 and up kind of place. The bar area has plenty of seats. The couch area is very comfortable. Good selection of scotches. The bartenders are attentive. They are constantly looking around for people who needed a drink order. Theres a smoking area out back that is enclosed so its not cold. It is ventilated so the smoke does clear out easily.The only thing I didnt like was how loud it got when the live music started. I couldnt hear anyone talking. I had to tell to the person sitting next to me so they could hear me. Its not a very big room, the music problem could have been quieter and still been loud enough to fill the space.Other than that they checked off all the important stuff for me at a bar.

Fantastic food options:I had the Asian Tuna Crisps (excellent) and Irish Nachos. While I detest sweet potatoes, the Irish Nachos are such, but stressed, I couldn’t even finish them because I was full.The drinks:I had a wonderful Sazerac, made properly. I also had a fantastic Corpse Reviver No. 2. (It was my first. Also the bartender’s first). Definitely two drinks I will have again at this establishment before I leave.The company:Had wonderful conversation with some locals (transplants) and the owner (I think?). 10/10 would dine/drink again.

I love going to Goth Night the last Thursday of the month. An excellent event put in by excellent people. Great music and vibe.

What a great night!! Service was amazing, live music was great!! We had so much fun!! Great place to go!!

Had an gathering in the VIP room, and it was awesome. The whole place has a crow/raven theme, with beautiful artwork and decor. There was an amazing table that was actually a couple of huge replica books with glass over the top. They make the drinks strong and the food is quite good for pub food, although it can be a little on the pricy side (but not outrageous). The staff was also amazing and they have a live jazz band, with a guy (I dont know his name) who is crazy good on the piano (good jazz piano is hard to find).

Alex was outstanding both in Customer service and overall attention to detail!

Great drink and food selection. Amazing staff. Very comfortable environment.

Their food is really good, and the lady at the bar makes really good drinks. 👌🏻 Also, their couches are comfy.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Visited here for the first time tonight and the food was amazing. The best fries West of the Mississippi! Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was super chill! The bartender Zeth was helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend the ravens claw and the fries.

The cocktails are good, but sometimes it depends which bartender you get - some of them get lazy with the recipe. The bands on Friday and Saturday nights are pretty good; it is nearly impossible to have a conversation indoors. Your options are retreat the smoking deck, which had the bare minimum fan required, or finish your drink and head out front if you want to talk. Couches and a VIP room can be reserved. The band is just as loud in the VIP room.

Nice bar. Friendly staff and decent ambience. Music in the evening. Very good beer. Decent wine selection. Havent tried the mixed drinks or food but looks like good selection.

Usual spot to hang, like the place, price is okay. Drinks are okay. Staff is sometimes, kinda rude

Facility was clean and staff was absolutely wonderful. The patrons were a bit unexpected. I tapped a lady on the arm when she didnt hear me say excuse me. Her response was not to move, but to saydont touch me. Really, then dont go to a busy bar/concert if you cant be touched. Crowd was about half friendly. Waitress Diana was above all expectations! Food was good, better than most bar food. I had a good ceasar salad. Bouncer spotted problems before they happened, even whiped up a floor spill.Fun night out with friends.Music by 5Oclock Somewhere was awesome! Worth my drive.

Nice bar with tvs, bar seating and sofa seating. Cool atmosphere and nice staff. Pretty big menu of typical bar foods. My brother liked the beer choices. Just priced a little bit higher than Im used to.

Great lounge spot with nice long bar that you can get a drink easily from. Great employees, they were all very nice and there’s music. The music was something different for me that hey play there but I thought was pretty nice for quick drink or to hang out there for a little

Must try the Raven Claws! This place doesnt look like much outside but it is very refined inside. They have great beers that are not common other places

Always a great experience

Pretty cool. Live music. Gets a bit crowded though and drinks are expensive.

Fancy drinks, comfortable couches, & good music. Great place to hang out with friends.

Great place to hang out and listen to live bands and have a few drinks. Heard the food is really good. Havent tried it yet.

Friendly local place for a drink and food. Specialty drinks are great, too.

Great place. Wonderful food and drinks.

Waitress was intoxicated. Food was decent. Bar is fairly large. Beer selection was decent as well.

Ah The Rellik, this place is one of my favorite stops for great late night food and also delicious Sunday Brunch!! Seasoned fries, Irish nachos, Deep fried Green beans, the list goes on and on. Not to mention the wonderful selections of beer, wine and spirits. So many options it s hard to choose, fear not though if you find yourself in that situation the amazing bar-tenders will help widdle the options down for you. Also with something fun happening almost every night youll never be bored.

I came in today, about 6 people at the bar. Tried to engage with bartenders, only 2, each time they started a sentence with me, they immediately walked away. Easy to understand when its busy, but at the other end of the bar they had no problem having conversations with people. I felt very insignificant. And npt sure Ill ever come back after this experience. Finishing my drink now.

The Sunday Morning brunch chef is the best. His omletts are so perfectly cooked. He does it all.. He sets up the whole brunch area, Cooks, serves, preps, and cleans it up afterwards. Give him a tip directly... Otherwise he wont get it!!!!

Great food, craft beers, friendly staff. Whats not to love?

This place had a great atmosphere and had wonderful live music being played by Doug Houser! Their cocktail, Sex on the Bay, tasted amazing. It reminded me of a drink I had in Hawaii. Definitely will come back again.

Nice clean place, owner was friendly, drink was good and the fries were the bomb. Yummmmm. Will come back for sure. Owner helps keep the place safe for all who visit

Place is liveley and packed for holiday events and local benicia acts. Personally love the bartenders enthusiasm and knowledge. Atmosphere is special to a lounge type croud! But their inventory is impressive

Stopped in for a quick drink on a rare date night. Loved the ambiance. Reminded me of SF with couches, a bar, area for a band. Locals were fun and introduced us to some exotic drinks.

The service was great

Slightly upscale, comfortable, friendly, safe bar. We love the Wednesday night live entertainment, but they frequently have things going other nights of the week also. Nice selection of tasty snacks, main courses, and desserts. Our favorites are the Irish Nachos, Margherita pizza, and Chicken and Waffles... Yum! Great selection of beers. Multiple tvs, so if youre a sports fan, you can watch the game. All around, a fun time.

Really great place for a nightcap. They have large couches that are extremely comfy for a late night drink and snack. The service was great and they even had a couple college games playing.Have only been a couple times but think it will be my new spot.

The cocktails are gorgeous- they have a variety of unique and fun drinks. The craft beer selection is always different, definitely a chill spot if you are a craft beer drinker. Always a nice atmosphere, and seems to draw a crowd most nights.

My favorite bar in Benicia hands down. You cant beat the bartenders here, they all actually know how to make a good drink, and the atmosphere is kind of upscale but comfortable. Their food is Also really good! Sometimes we just go to grab a quick bite. Also, they have couches. I mean, can you beat a nice bar that also has comfortable couches to sit on when youre drinking? I think not.
