You can walk up and down First St. several times and always find somewhere new to stop for a drink or to browse collectibles and vintage goods. This town is full of cute shops and pubs.
Our first time in Rellik was with a group of yelpers exploring downtown Benicia. We settled into a reserved room at the end of the bar late in the afternoon. Comfortable seating on small couches and chairs circled the room, which also held two TVs and a couple of tables. By request, we had baseball playing on both TVs, though they were muted and music played instead (which was nice).
The tables quickly filled up with cheese plates, delicious rosemary crackers, and two types of pizza. The Margherita I tried was awesome. Blue cheese from the cheese plate was my favorite also. And yummy, thin apple slices.
Both drinks we had were alright. The bloody Mary mix was a little boring, even with the bottle of Tobasco I was handed on the side. This is the first time I've ordered a spicy drink for $7 and been asked to finish making it myself. The$5 vodka cran was a better deal and I didn't have to add anything for myself on the bartender's behalf. Note: they use Skyy vodka for their well vodka, which is actually common in Benicia.
We'd definitely stop back in here for another yummy pizza and would recommend the place to any friends walking around this lovely town.
