Great sports bar! The best in the local area in my opinion. The TV situation is excellent, the food is solid, and the service (especially at the bar) is top-notch and very friendly. If you stop by here to watch a game, I am willing to bet that you will enjoy it and be back. Whoever designed and executed the concept here did a great job and I expect that this place will be a fixture in the area for a long time to come. A couple tips: Every seat at the bar has a power outlet under the counter for chargers or laptops, and free wi-fi is provided. If you download and use the an app called "Tunity" for Android or iPhone you can listen to most games on any TV through your phone/headphones regardless of whether you are connected to wifi or just using your mobile data. It works very well and you can focus on the game of your choice. The menu is definitely subject to change, and still being developed. They used to have the best chili around, but recently changed the recipe and now I just cant recommend it. Unfortunately, nothing else on the menu that I have tried has really stood out to me yet, but hamburgers appear to be a highlight and look good, although I havent tried one. Overall, this place is excellent and if you enjoy sports bars, you will probably love this place.

Great neighborhood bar/grill. Really needed in this area. Locally owned (bonus for me). Got everyone from families, sports nuts (Bay Area teams represented here, but staff will play any game if they can get it) travelers (John Muir Inn is easily walkable) professionals, and the regular bar flies. Amazing staff! Warm, welcoming, appreciative of your business and accomidating. Full bar has options galore for your cocktail desires, beer selection is plentiful. Imported and domestic bottled beers, along with local and out of state craft beers on tap. Local wine options, if thats your thing. Food is worthy...so worthy. I got a wedge salad and added steak (generous ribeye portion!) for an extra $5. Ive been to places where they charge you extra for bacon on your wedge salad. It may be bar food, but this is GREAT bar food, and its awesomely prepared. Plenty of vegetarian options. Again, check with staff on vegan, gluten-free...staff is helpful. The Clubhouse is tucked away in a small strip mall off of Hwy 4. Much like this beloved little town of Martinez...you wouldnt know it unless you looked for it. But stop by, and youll be glad you did.

Ive been to this establishment alot in the past few months. Ive had good service, especially when the male bartender is there. (Sorry I dont know any of the bartenders name.) But yesterday (6/24/17) I was there around 430pm and the place was not crowded. There were 3 female bartenders who all decided they wanted to talk to each other instead of helping me. During my time there i had to wave them down for service. By then I was done. I asked for my check, which I got very quickly. But tob0ay for it I had to wait around again. The older white lady bartender just talked to these guys and never came back to close my tab. I had to again...esve someone down to pay my tab. Im going to find another place to spend my money at.

Comfortable and cool. Nice atmosphere for a strip mall pub. We sat at the bar. We were served quickly. Had a drink and lunch. It wasnt very busy, and it looked as though they were well staffed.... That said, I didnt get my fries until I was half way done with my sandwich. And I still had to ask for them. Ketchup wasnt brought with my fries. Wasnt asked if I wanted another drink, wasnt checked up on. Server(bartender) was very distracted with the til and her phone. She was friendly and nice though. Im writing this because I generally tip 20% and today I tipped 9% .

Because Ive been eating horribly lately, I opted for a wedge salad with chicken. The chicken was grilled perfectly. My friends and I sat in a private corner both, very intimate and great for our catch-up session. The waitress was very patient and friendly while we gabbed and took forever to look at the menu. We finished eating just as their Tuesday trivia was starting - the questions were pretty easy and equally amusing. Ill definitely go back

Terrible service. Walked in with a friend and sat at the bar. It wasnt very busy, just a regular Wednesday night. And we were ignored for 10 minutes. Was never handed a menu or asked for a drink. Just ended up walking out. Never would I recommend this place to anyone. I work in the service industry and thought this was completely unacceptable. Other customers that walked up after us were served before us. We felt invisible.

A great family place, lots of Sports on all the TVs. I love their Reuben Sandwich! great tasting and a Huge pile of beef between bread! But save room for their Brownie dessert, in fact bring a friend to finish that sweet tasty monster! The staff is friendly and helpful.

Great food, drinks and a really decent craft beer selection. Great atmosphere with good service! If you are looking for a great local sports (without the craziness) bar with cool people this is the spot. The bar tenders awesome and attentive.

Good for happy hour after work! Good beer many draft IPA choices! Food is good better that most sports bars! They have 15 Flat Screens everywhere! Full bar top shelf! My wife always gets Moscow Mule! Staff are very friendly and attentive!

I love wine. What this restaurant does is let you pay $9 for a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, then the next glass will be something else like the house wine. This has happened to me 3 times. Not cool.

Great food. Great beer selection. Great service, even though they were busy. Im visiting from out of town, but I wish this was my local!

Probably top 5 service Ive ever had at a sports based bar/grill. Chili is hearty and mac & cheese bites are the business.

Crowded amd loud, which I guess might be good if you like that in a sports bar. Food is not good though.
