Nu-Rays Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Voted best Dive Bar, and best Karaoke in the East Bay Area. Strong drinks. Prickly, competent bartenders.
Perfect neighborhood bar. But note that, aside from tiny bags of chips, they don't regularly have food. When they do have it though, it is equally delectable AND reasonably priced. Plus if you bring in your own berries, Alissa is capable of muddling them and making you a delicious beverage.
Best Dive bar in Martinez is percent accurate!! The roper Romp was a blast. I love nu rays!! Def going again and again!!
Hanging out with Family , always having a good time.. good drinks, good music, great staff
Karaoke here could be the it place if more people would come, it is already busy but I think more would make it that much better! I like singing karaoke on thursdays, I like the variety of ages of people that come in here. I even like the bartenders. However, I am not getting drunk in there because I am on a sabbatical from drinking, I order a Cola. So, I have no idea how they treat a newbie that gets wasted. So do not take anything I say and think this place is where you can go to actually have a good time, because I do not know that. I never stay late to even see if people get drunk there. What I do know is it is lively yet chill place with a support of people that are pretty friendly.
Great local bar. They'll serve you drinks the moment you walk in. Couldn't ask for better.
Great hole in the wall bar with friendly staff and throwback music. Way better than Whiskey Lane up the street!
