column Dinner and a Movie
AND
The twenty second in a series of at home food and movie pairings.
“Beginning with City Drug Store in the ‘30’s then as owners of The Towne Club in the 60’s and 70’s, you could say the family has been medicating Benicia for over 80 years!”
Bottom of the Fifth Sports Bar & Grill n Gourmet Gracie and Movie Magic For those who know, we really know, that BOTF is the tastiest, friendliest, most excellent place to be if you’re looking for just the right brand of neighborhood sports bar. Open early and open late, the food is just fresh and delicious, the service is easy and comfortable and you know you just found home. This is Benicia’s oldest bar. Bruce Adams moved to East Fifth in 1990 from First Street and opened Bottom of the Fifth in the old Ships Inn/Landmark Inn Building. In 2013 he saw the need for quality late night food and the rest is
history—pumping out fresh and excellent food ever since. Nothing frozen, all prepared on-site. When Gracie moved to Benicia in 2014 she was hesitant…you know, a sports bar, a single woman…will I be okay in there by myself?? The answer is absolutely YES! I needed to follow my favorite NFL team, landed at Bottom of the Fifth on a Sunday at 9:30 am, just before my game started, and was warmly welcomed by the bartender when I stepped in—she took care of me for the next three hours. The lunches are fantastic…excellent burgers, fries, sandwiches, but don’t miss Taco Tuesdays--$1 each and just like they’re
supposed to be—crunchy, beefy, spicy! The once a week special steak dinner is more and better than you bargained for. The drinks are generous and nicely priced. And, you can’t beat the corned beef hash on a Sunday morning. Laughter, conversation, community, comfort food and tasty treats, it’s all right here.
