The Rellik Tavern

Came here to catch up with some friends. Have a few tables outside, they even offer booths, bar seating or high tables. So they have different options of what type of get together you have. We made friends with the bouncer from sitting outside. Good guy and definitely made the night hilarious. One of the few bars open later in Benicia.We were getting shots and didn't really order food. So can't say how their food was. But looking at the drink menu they have a variety of cocktails to try out.

Came here on a random afternoon with some classmates. We weren't looking to drink, we were mainly on the prowl for some food. Fortunately, we were welcomed by the bartender - he checked our IDs and led us to one of the couch areas. While looking at the menu, we noticed the very consistent theme seen at Rellik; it was edgy but very community-based (there were posters for events they hosted, and the bar was in theme with Halloween, which around the time we dropped by). We ordered the following:- Mac and cheese - Very very yummy! I'm a fan of the cheese they used and the little crumbs in the dish as well. One of the better mac and cheeses I've had in the Bay Area.- Fried beans - Delicious! The breading was solid and the amount of beans was perfect for our group of people. - Margherita pizza - Normal margherita compared to other places I've been to. Good, but not impressionable.- Onion rings - Nice and crisp + not too oily. Really enjoyed the quality of the appetizers here! For first impressions, Rellik did a good job taking care of my classmates and I. I would love to experience it during prime hours to see what it's really about. Will definitely be coming back!

What a neat little bar located in the heart of downtown Benicia. Cool vibes, drinks, everything!This placed is fully equipped with a variety of seating options, including comfy couches which my friend and I were able to secure. Immediately we were greeted by one of the employees who handed us a menu on the iPad. Once we decided what we wanted, we ordered at the bar.I tried a few mixed drinks and they were all pretty good! Not a fan of the cider though. We didn't get to try the food here but will definitely try it next time. Unfortunately we also missed the band by a smidge, so hopefully we can catch that next time as well!

We decided last minute to go on a day date. We choose the Rellik. Chloe was our fabulous and very friendly bartender today. We went in for cocktails and appetizers. We had the Raven's Claw (stuffed jalapeños) and the shrimp and fries. Raven Claw was excellent, so was the dip, but prepare for heat, very, very good. The shrimp delicious and the cocktail sauce amazing. I don't know what they put on the fries, but you can't stop eating them. I started with the Ticked Pink (refreshing) then the Riva Ranch Chardonnay. Great food, drink, service and time. We are heading back for trivia night this week, may have to repeat the order

Had the pleasure to be invited here for a birthday party on a Friday night with live music. Our group was big enough that they gave us the VIP room while than band played. Great selection of beers and super good appetizers. Cool atmosphere and friendly and polite staff.

Fun local bar, the drinks were good but I didn't get to try the food because the kitchen was closed. I appreciated their cocktail list, they had some fun options!

I have been to this place and it's a lot of fun. It's very popular among the locals.They usually have some kind of entertainment. I've seen little cover bands, quartet, DJs, and other entertainment here as well as karaoke.the food is great I love the cheeseburger pizza. They have great little appetizers, and the drinks are flowing for the thirsty crowd.

The service was kinda all over the place and disorganized but the food was good as hell and it had a nice mature vibe!!!!!

I absolutely adore the Rellik, an all time favorite neighborhood bar!As a shameless barfly, I am always eager to belly up. To me, the Rellik is a Benicia institution, and I have had so many fun experiences there! Most are cocktails and nibbles with friends, chilling on the sofas or side by side at the bar. Those great nights where conversations just flow with marvelous music in the background. Some of the most fun nights though are Wednesday karaoke! That party goes well into the night, and you can really feel the locals come out for a great time. The vibe in that room is just love, no pressure. And don't overlook the food! I'm a huge fan of the fried green beans and lumpia especially, oh my goodness - addiction forming!I cannot wait to return to Rellik, and oh yes indeed I WILL finally attend a goth night this year!

They have a nice selection of beers. There are three TV monitors for sports. Food is just OK. Service was good.
