The bartenders here are always friendly and fun. It’s definitely a cool neighborhood spot to hang for a bit and grab a drink. I’ve come here during the day and night and at both times its been consistently fun. And love the nail salon next door!

I do theater at the theater down the street one night after the show a few of us decided to check this place out. Definitely a dive bar, but I must say it’s a clean one. Mostly men Who were a little bit creepy but I’m used to it, since i’ve gone to quite a few dive bars. Definitely not what I expected from what I was told… But if you’re looking for strong drinks it’s the place to go.

We have good friends who live within walking distance of downtown Martinez and this has become a regular stop for cocktails. Service is friendly, as have been the other patrons. Drinks are just fine. They did a little remodeling within the last few years. Which is great because, previously, if a live band was playing you would have to climb over the drummer to use the restroom. We’ll be back.

Clean, well lit, good diverse crowd who will be glad to introduce themselves, friendly bartenders who know how to keep the adult beverages flowing, CLEAN BATHROOM, Karaōke and live bands, flat screen TVs and enough beers on tap that you may want to try more than one. I will leave the Old Rays v Nu Rays debate for another day

Nu-​rays is an exciting place to let your hair down and chill with some nice folks. Gene is an amazing bartender and makes a killer old fashion and Danielle is super friendly, quick, and attentive. She makes a killer blue martini. I enjoy playing Keno, listening to live bands such as The Martini Trio and having a cold beer in the lovely downtown Martinez location.

I roll in once in a while, people are nice, it’s usually filled with local drunks which is fine by me, they can be entertaining at times. Danielle the bartender is pretty cool, she’s always alert and friendly. Keep it a dive and I will continue to patronize.

I’ve been to Nu-​Rays twice. The first time I actually had a lovely time and got to listen to a local band play. Last night, however, I was denied at the bar having shown my passport. Apparently this wasn’t sufficient, and was asked to also show a card with my name on. I was outraged, having never had my GOVERNMENT ISSUED passport denied for alcohol before. The same passport that was fine for use the time I came before. This put an end to my night and has left me more than upset. I’ll be sticking to Whiskey Lane going forward.

Needs a little breaking in but its a classic spot in Martinez. Glad they kept Danielle.
