Barrel Aged Cocktail Bar & Lounge

Sat at the bar with my girlfriend and enjoyed mimosas, coffee, and breakfast. The best part was enjoying conversation with Thane! He was fabulous, he provided great service, he was professional and compassionate. We loved every minute of it. We will for sure be back. The coffee was amazing and perfectly prepared. It was a great Sunday experience. Thank you Thane! The bar was busy but we didn't notice any delay in service. It was any too loud where we couldn't have a conversation.

The best espresso martini in the area. I would date to say one of the best in the East bay. The staff are friendly, drinks are fantastic and a great friendly inviting ambiance.

Truly the best cocktail spot in downtown Martinez. Arash makes one of the best espresso martinis in the bay! Barrel has a good selection of different cocktails and they're all incredibly tasty. Definitely stop by if you're out and about in Martinez on a Friday or Saturday evening.

May 31, 2024 at 7:30pm - Had to walk out after standing there waiting to get acknowledged. Another woman walks up and cuts in front of me. She likely realized it and stands behind me. Bartender takes her order instead. Yeah way to go completely ignoring the Latin woman but servicing the young blonde instead.

I love love this place. Where in the Bay Area can you get a strong, beautiful, and original cocktail for less than $14-15?! I'll let you in on a secret... right here in downtown Martinez! The cocktails at this bar are SO delicious and gorgeous (they always look good on my IG posts lol - see how cute these are with flowers and hearts?!). And they're so reasonably priced at $10-12. I love their gin-based cocktails and the ginger-mule is one of my go-tos. The candied ginger on that drink is insanely good (the real deal).The owner is this super cool guy who chats with you and checks in to see what you like. Each cocktail is lovingly crafted by awesome bartenders. Their menu also changes so they introduce new creations to tempt your taste buds. The bartenders can also easily make any original style cocktails you're craving too. The ambience is super cute inside and they have cute outdoor seating with benches and lights. I just love coming here on a Friday night after having dinner nearby and catching up with friends and dog-watching.

Delicious and strong cocktails can be found inside this cozy, hipster cocktail bar in downtown Martinez. Whether you like your drinks on the sweeter side, something tart or anything in between, you will find it here. While there is very limited seating inside, there is space outside on the sidewalk to lounge with a group of friends.

AMAZING VIBEThe owner was so nice and welcomed us with free espresso martini shots. The drinks were delicious! We got the volcano drink and the Paloma. They also have us champagne. LOVE THIS PACE. will be back soon

Went here on Sunday around noon for a bloody mary. There were 4 people in the bar and it literally took 20 minutes to get the bartenders attention. She did not acknowledge us at all, and we had to ask her for drinks. She had her head down the whole time and didn't acknowledge us at all. Seemed confused where all the different mixers were for drinks. I could totally understand if the place was crowed, but it was not at all. No excuse for this.Ordered 2 Bloodies, one Margarita and a draft beer. The total was $54 and I tipped her $4 ($1 for each drink). She was lucky to get that much. I normally tip 20% or more, but this was really bad.The few people that were sitting in the bar said this is standard for this place. We go downtown Martinez all the time, and we won't be going back to Barrel Aged.
