Went for a private party on the back patio. Great outdoor space. Highly recommend for a group event. All of the food was good but fried... But the best part was the house band. They were FANTASTIC.
The bad: some customers and the band thought it was a good idea to openly share how they thought that COVID is a hoax and joke about kids that are slow and the short bus. Knowing that the science is there about COVID and the pandemic and also that I have a child with special needs I was very offended by the conversations being had. I almost left without paying. I will never be going back here again. The back area where the live music was completely closed in which in my opinion is not a good idea. Of all place in downtown Benicia where the scenery is amazing why would you want to close off the only outdoor area?The good: the food and wait staff were good. That's it. Although I choked the food down because the other customers and the band were so wretched. I do not recommend this place, but I hope that these few customers and band are not representative of the owners of the Relik and I hope that the band takes more care in what they decide is OK to say in front of a group of random strangers.Owner was nice on the phone and it’s not really their fault the band and customers acted the way they did. I upped the stars from 1 to 3.
Best staff ever created in the history of the cosmos, Debbie is a wizard of an owner. Josh has a mean disc arm and Zeth spins the sound of angels trumpets into your ear holes. Chef Chelsea offers a multitude of desired delicious bites that can all be considered ambrosia. Would definitely come back.
Great bar, delicious cocktails with a variety of bar eats on the menu. I’ve not been disappointed with their live bands or DJ’s. It’s a local hot spot! Cheers!
Loud live music, lots of people, good bar food and a wide variety of spirits.
I love this place. Such swanky atmosphere. I snagged a comfy spot on one of the couches with my date and it was the most chill, fun and relaxing experience. The live music was a nice touch, but even without it is just a great atmosphere. The place combines the comfort of home with going out, perfectly. I also thought the pizza we ordered there was really good.
First time here. Came with my friend after a beauty salon visit. The place is nicely laid out with couch seating areas and the bar. They also have a nice patio area. Live music was just starting as we left. The staff is friendly and the drinks and food were great. We both had dirty martinis, shared a wedge salad, raven's wings (with hot sauce and ranch on the side) and ahi tuna crisps.They host a goth themed night once a month. I will definitely go back.
Decent drinks, sometimes live music. Not quite the posh bar the patrons like to believe it is. But it's better than the majority of bars in Vallejo at the moment, so I invariably end up here.
Absolutely a great time was had by all. Comfortable floor plan and live music with great food on top, what's not to love? The waitresses never stopped moving, the dance floor was full and no real lines at the bathroom too. On First Street in Benicia, there is really just street parking so be a little early. Otherwise, I recommend The Rellick Tavern for night out.
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.
