Martinez
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Martinez, California
Martinez, a Bay Area city in Contra Costa County, is best known as the longtime home of naturalist John Muir (whose house is now a National Historic Site) and the birthplace of Joe DiMaggio - and, according to local lore, of the martini itself. BarFinder lists 22 venues here, with wineries and classic bars leading the mix, including real local names like Bhachu Vineyards and Viano Winery alongside Del Cielo Brewing Co. and Whiskey Lane. It's a scene that leans into Martinez's small-town wine-country side as much as its waterfront history.
