Bottom of the Fifth

Yep. Was just about to say how far to the bottom...but the barrel doesn't have a bottom. This is my first visit here. Ever. This is my last visit here. Ever. Ten people in the bar. Took the bar tender(s) over 10 minutes to acknowledge us. This was after serving all the locals and taking their own shots behind the bar as we watched. I can't say I wasn't warned.  I would get this bar zero stars but that's not an option.

It's a sketchy dive bar in Benicia. No frills, no gimmicks. They have TONS of room, two pool tables, and a bar area that is separate from the bar. The juke box plays all kinds of different music ( a plus in my book), and they play it loud (that is a plus as well). Only had beer - prices are alright, wouldn't call it cheap for a dive bar. Maybe their mixed drinks are cheaper.

If I'm looking to stay close to home and play pool, I would probably come here. Otherwise, no thanks!

I have been coming here for years.. To the person saying they charged a extra $10 on your card, they have a $20 minimum on CCD's which they tell you. Or were you to drunk to know what you signed?  They are honest, and do not steal from patrons.

The drinks are never weak, the Bartenders are all nice. You can play pool, listen to juke box, or watch one of many big screens with whatever sporting event is on.

Are you hungry? They have menu's from many places that will deliver there, including the chinese place upstairs.

They have no beer on tap, but pleanty of choices in bottle or can.

Prices are good, and if you are in Benicia, there is a FREE Bar hopper that will pick you up and take you there or take you home!
