Brix & Craft, Craft Cocktails Wine & Artisan Pizza

Hailey the bartend r was fun and a great bartender. She makes an excellent whiskey sour and old fashioned. The pizza is outstanding. We had the PO (?) and the JJL pizzas. Both were delicious with a nice thin and crisp crust. The toppings were perfect and delivered quickly to our seats. The crowd all seemed to be repeat customers and were friendly. I will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing experience! Fantastic craft cocktails! The Margherita pizza was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place. Great job guys! 💪💪

We went for the first time tonight. They have a fun cozy atmosphere. I ordered the Twisted Hawaiian Pizza and my husband ordered the BC Burger (both absolutely delicious). We had a great time and a delicious meal!

What a great little gem for our downtown. The drink recommendations were wonderful. The "there she blows" hit all the right notes. Had appetizers that were the right amount of food. Warm and inviting with a great staff.

Flat bread was very good along with the service. They fo have a very good whiskey selection which is always a plus for me. Small cozy place but can get very crowded very easily. Still worth a stop if you're around the neighborhood.

What a great place. David the bartender is a top-tier mixologist and loves getting creative. Everything aside from spirits that go into their cocktails is homemade. They also have alternatives to alcohol such as kava cocktails, which is not common at all. The food is also well done with fresh brick oven pizzas and other fare. Highly recommend.

A small bar with character. We stopped here on a late Sunday evening originally looking to have dinner not realizing a lot of places close early on Sunday. When we walked in the server informed us they had just shut down the kitchen we were understanding and headed out, we were then found down the street and they asked if we wanted to come back for pizza they would turn the oven back on. Honestly, it’s little things like this that make a business. Just this small gesture was very meaningful and to our surprised the pizzas and cocktails were delicious. To the business owner thank you for caring about your guests and for going above and beyond. We will definitely be coming back soon!

These pizzas are very unique and tasty I cannot give enough kudos to this place. One thing I need to let them know is that they're far too high class for the napkins that unfortunately they had tonight they were very flimsy and they're much more than that. Maybe they just did not have the normal supplies.

This establishment truly stands out - it's simply amazing! Hailey, the mixologist, is an absolute gem! Her dedication and hard work shine through, even during the busiest of times. She effortlessly ensures that every customer's needs are met, checking in frequently with a warm smile. She created the menu as well, so all the drinks are truly delicious. The atmosphere here is lively and inviting. What sets this place apart even further is the owner. His respectful treatment of the staff creates a positive work environment where everyone feels like part of the team. He immerses himself in the day-to-day operations just like any other team member. Make it a point to visit - you won't regret experiencing this exceptional spot! Make sure Hailey is working! ;)

Been here twice and had a good night every time .staff is really pleasant and food is good, pretty decent pizza with tons of toppings . drinks are excellent and prized accordingly Perfect place for a night out

I took my staff to Brix & Craft for a drink after work, we had an experience. The cocktails were crafted, offering a great variety of different kind of drinks. One of my employees mentioned the wine selection was impressive, while another noticed the huge deletions of liquors behind the bar! Corey is the owner and caters to a variety of preferences. As for the artisan pizzas, they were a perfect complement to our drinks, with fresh ingredients and a crispy crust that left us craving for more. This place is inviting, making it a great spot for unwinding. Overall, Brix & Craft exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for delicious cocktails, wine, and pizza in a relaxed atmosphere. We loved it ! Definitely will be back !

Ashley was super super sweet & helpful even though it was super busy! The pizza was delicious and the service was even better. I'll definitely come back again Thank you Ashley!

Went here last weekend and had a great experience on Hawaiian night. While it was busy, the bartender Ashley was quick and friendly! Made our group feel like we were the only ones there! Great drinks Great service Great theme

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!

Ashley provided an excellent service. Pay raise or im hiring her. Big rock for my drink made me smile. Thank you

I had such a great experience at this location. I had the bartender I wish I got her name was super amazing. She was very accommodating and any questions we had. She had an answer. The place was packed, but she made sure to talk to us and make us feel like we were noticed, I'll definitely be coming back!

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.

What a great spot. The drinks are delicious and original. The staff goes above and beyond. We will most definitely be back.

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!

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.

We had a phenomenal experience here. They probably have the best drinks in Martinez in my honest opinion. Corey the owner was amazing. We came here multiple times and Ashley always gave us a great customer service experience. The pizza is awesome. We typically bring our friends here and they have a great time. We'll continue to come here. Highly recommended.

Wonderfully complete collection of spirits and wine. Good pizzas and fun cocktails. They have seasonal specials and concoctions. Space is cozy and typically busy on a weekend nights. Prices are what you'd expect for the location. Staff is friendly and generous. If you want to explore a spirit you can with their pick you own flights from the long list of options. Must try it once if you're in Martinez and want a go place for a drink, pizza, or a charcuterie/cheese board.

Great little place for a drink (and the pizza smelled amazing too). They have every wine and spirit under the sun!

Very impressive stock of spirits and craft beer, knowledgeable and super friendly waitstaff, very good pizza (had the PO).

Pizza and burger are so good. Drinks are amazing. Really cool vibe. I'm so happy Brix and Craft is in downtown MTZ!

Such a welcoming staff, great vibe from everyone. Lots of smiling happy faces. The wine was great! I had a few glasses and enjoyed the Hawaiian music and dancers. Haley was super friendly and our outfits matched. Can't wait to see what they have next! Cheers!

To start this was not my first time at Bar Cava. Every SINGLE time I go I am more and more impressed. From the attentive and friendly staff (and owner who personally came over to talk with us) to the craft cocktails (definitely try the house whiskey made by Mr. Katz) and the amazing food, this time hubby and I had the Small Charcuterie Board and three days later we are still snacking on it! We cannot wait to go back. If you are in Martinez make this a stop - you will thank me.

So it's Sunday, Mother's Day, walking about downtown Martinez & opted to try out this little place, Bar Cava. The bartender passed us menus, yet never really got back to us, in the meantime he breaks a glass & then for whatever reason announces he won't be cleaning it up, nor the one he broke earlier in the day - okay? Still waiting to be asked what we like to eat & after another couple walks in, he tells them - oh the kitchen in closed, dude you could have told us when we sat down & you handed us menus, what gives? Ambiance - none on Sunny, whoever is the owner should know your bartender was hungover - as he had informed other patrons as to being in Vegas & getting trashed, does mean you come to work & trash it was well. So as of this writing, don't think we'll be going back.

Stopped into Bar Cava for a pizza, simply amazing!!! The staff is incredible and very knowledgable about bourbon. This is a must go to!!!

Hmmmm.... Let's just say --- Ladies night @ BarCava was a hit! Brought a few girlfriends in to try the pizza, Mac and cheese, and a salad! YUMMY! Pineapple was meant to be on pizza with pepperoni!) thanks Corey) in addition, Corey made a few shooters for us (in line with the newest drink launch coming that week) we appreciate the hospitality, had so much fun, will definitely be back.

Corey was soo nice and the burger was best ever. We love this place and the craft beer was awesome. Love Hazy IPA was really good. Corey spent a lot of time talking with us and answering all our questions. Thank you Corey! You are a true professional. And thank you too the charcuterie chef and Ashley our bar tender.

I absolutely love this gem! Amazing drinks and the service was even better. I love the vibe at this establishment. Great place to grab a cocktail with friends or go with your significant other. I didn't get to try the food since I ate before but it smelled delicious!

Great Atmosphere, great drinks, and a great Bartender. I loved the "New Fashioned". Amazing Hospitality here, I'd definitely reccomend if you're looking for a night out and some good cocktails.

Oh my goodness. We have been coming here for a long time but this is the first time we have had the Artisan Pizza and it did not disappoint. We ordered the PO Pizza.I think it was the best pizza I have ever had. Just the right amount of quality toppings not too much sauce and finished with arugula. It was delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! Outstanding! On top of this amazing pizza we got delicious drinks too and got to sample and see some of their new original cocktails. Can't wait to come and try something new and different on the menu for our next visit. I am for sure telling everyone about this pizza! So Yum!

Decided to meet friends here on a Friday night and I must say the vibe in this area is great. The only problem is that the night we visited they were short staffed, I think, because it took over 30 min to get our first drink. I guess that was good for my wallet. Lol. I only had time to order and drink one glass. I will say that when we were acknowledged everyone was extremely friendly which made us feel like maybe it was an off night for them. I like the outdoor seating and like I said, the vibes were great. They had live music outside and parking nearby was really easy. Overall, the experience wasn't that great and you definitely have to be patient. I think we'll try another restaurant in the area next time.

This is a much needed update: I was attending the Downtown Martinez Car Show tonight and ended up at Bar Cava. They had a mobile restaurant called Burger Metal grilling up awesome burgers out side where you could eat, drink and enjoy all the classic cars. Inside you can sit at the bar and get more food, a great selection of wines and now even cocktails!!! The bartenders are super friendly which just adds to the great vibe in this place. Think about it, great food, drinks and service with outdoor seating right on Main Street. What a gem. Downtown Martinez is really beginning to pop and Bar Cava is one of the reasons why. Come down and check it out.

My best friend is a newer Martinez resident and we've come here multiple times. I live in Pittsburg/Concord. It is worth coming to Martinez to come to this craft bar. The vibe alone is amazing! There is always great music & good times. You're treated like a regular and never ignored. Anyone who writes a bad review has a personal vendetta against someone here.

Located in Downtown Martinez, came here on a Tuesday night and they have karaoke! We walked in close to closing right before 9pm and it was pretty packed but we're able to steal some bar seats to grab a drink and a charcuterie board. The cocktails were really good and fairly priced, wide variety of choices of drinks too, friendly staff and lots of energy. Would recommend if you're there for a drink but come earlier if you want food because they do a hard stop/close at 9pm on a weeknight. The karaoke scene was a little more like Jimmy Buffet, looks like they have their regulars. Smaller type of bar area, bathrooms are in the back and they have some outdoor seating right out front.

Came here to support friends who regularly plays at Bar Cava. I'm finally happy to have been able to make it and invited some friends. Cory the owner was very helpful and was able to set up tables for us because our group grew. Staff: Our server was friendly and seemed to love her job. There was another guy who helped us w our tables and chairs along w Cory. Food: The spicy chicken sandwich was very good. It's just the right amount of spices (although) I would have added a little more). My friend said her flat bread was also really good. It must have been cuz she finished it all by herself Drinks: I forgot what he name of our drinks (something beach). Con: Mr. Smith drink was not good which was funny cuz a friend just got divorced , hence , we were also celebrating (it was her ex's last name) All in all, we would definitely come back and checkout what other entertainments Bar Cava provides. Parking: street parking. Just be patient there's plenty for everyone. ENJOY!

Headed out to Bar Cava last night , never been so I didn't know what to expect. I didn't check closing time so we arrived hungry 30 minutes before closing. We asked if it was too late to order 15 min before closing and we were pleasantly surprised with sure pick something. So we ordered pizza! Wow first I'm pretty particular about my pizza but this crust was so fresh and the texture and taste was spot on. So thanks Bar Cava ... Nice way to treat a hungry customer ! Well be back!

Been here a few times now and the pizza is fantastic. Their beer cheese sauce is so good you could put it on a flip flop. Corey the owner is very cool and Hailey the bartender could liven up the most boring of places! Another great place is downtown Martinez.

Bayden was such a great bartender, so knowledgeable and very attentive! We had the best time and can't wait to be regulars!

Brayden is the best bartender ever! Recommended the lost times and it was phenomenal. Cool vibe and very personable. Can't wait to come back with friends :))

We had an adult scavenger hunt downtown a few months ago. The owner Corey, and his polite staff were very accommodating to all of us when we included his establishment as part of our scavenger hunt. We had 3 groups of 30 people come in throughout that day, and were all treated well. The service is excellent, and they have a great selection of top shelf alcohol. 5 stars!!!

Great vibes, great cocktails and great food! This was a fun date night in Martinez. Staff was super friendly!

Great food, great drinks, great vibes! Love this hidden gem in downtown Martinez! Their new pizzas are great and their cocktails are amazing! Highly recommend to anybody.

One of the best bars in the area. Corey is a fantastic host and owner. The food here is fabulous the pizza is delicious. Amazing variety of whiskey and craft cocktails. A definite yes.

Was walking around killing time for another breakfast place during the farmers market when we walked by this place. Decided that mimosas would be a good idea while waiting. They also had food from another place I forgot what it was called but they had an avocado toast with candied bacon which was bomb! I'm not sure if the same food will be there every weekend. The mimosas were $5 which I think is a fair price. Our server was super friendly as well.

It is not easy to run a small business in California. I applaud Corey for making it work in this small town. He has also evolved his business to include high-quality food and live entertainment on occasion. This is a great place to stop by if you want no nonsense service, and great food. And thank you, Corey for continuing to keep your business open for others to enjoy, even when the present business climate is hostile to us small business owners.

Great vibe and even better drinks from Hailey! The pretzel with cheese sauce is an absolute go to if available!

Omg, had such a great place to eat. The pizza is outstanding. Love Corey. Love the ambiance, the knowledge and the whole concept. Service was a 10. We will for sure go back.

We really enjoyed this place! From the moment we got there the staff was super attentive and friendly. I don't usually go to Martinez but I didn't feel like going somewhere with tons of people so we thought we'd try out this place based on the good reviews. We had no idea there was gonna be karaoke but we had a blast listening to these great folks. Drinks were great, good hamburger, all around down home good time.

My friend and I went last night and it was busy, no seat at all. I said let's go to Troy's and out of the corner came a guy and said , 'here let me make room for you two here'. It was against the wall and was a cozy spot. That is top notch customer service! Food was very very good and excellent drinks. Will definitely be going back. We were taken care of very well there.

Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, and really great drinks! I'm making this a regular spot for me whenever I'm in Martinez.

Awesome bar with great bartenders, spectacular drinks and a great owner. Corey the owner is a good dude with a great sense of humor and likes to banter with the clientele. They have great bands on the weekends and the place is hoppin'. The artisan pizzas there are incredible. I would argue they're some of the best pizzas in the Bay area. Highly recommended!! It can get a little loud out on main Street during the weekends as a lot of the restaurants have bands playing out in the street but it's a fun time since the whole street is blocked off for foot traffic only. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

10/10 cocktail's very highly recommend!! First time here drinks were 100% spot on m! Really good flavor!

This place is a MUST! Drinks are so delicious/ and give you a great buzz. I had the Drunken Islands. The bartender herself came to me and talked to me about the variety of drinks and she recommended this BOMB ASS drink. The alcohol was there the flavors were there. It's a must try. Come see and support your local bar. See Hailey, best bartender!

I enjoyed the drinks. Killer DJ too. My friends and I had a blast. Small but fun bar. You will enjoy it.
