This place is ok; ambience and vibe are cool. But they had mostly seltzers and only a few beer choices. Not a seltzer fan and the beer choices they had were meh. Hopefully they get some more beer on tap soon.

2nd Phase Brewing is one of my favorite spots in Bakersfield. As a transplant, it's some times hard to fit in when it seems like everyone knows everyone and they're so close-knit but 2nd Phase has a very welcoming vibe and I've always felt at home. They don't have their own kitchen but allow outside food and even bring in guest food trucks to keep you warm and fed while you drink. I've seen several live local music acts here and attended a couple birthdays and even trivia night. This brewery is really a community space. The beer and beverage options are fantastic too. They have something for every taste. There's obviously beer, but also seltzer drinks, and slushy drinks even spicy drinks. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I really love this place in case you can't tell. The only thing I'll say that is keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that the acoustics aren't the best. It can get too loud and be hard to have a conversation sometimes. It's also been hard to get the music sound just right when there's live performances. If they can figure out a way to improve the sound, this will be the perfect spot!

Came here on a Saturday and they only had 1 beer, a Mexican lager, and 7 seltzers. Thought this was a brewery? Beer enthusiasts will want to think twice before coming here.

Good beer, good trivia night. Was awesome walking in and smelling the beer they were brewing. Our bartender was knowledgeable about what they served and was otherwise super rad. Will absolutely be going back

Traveling through, and it was just right. Boys played board games and ate pub mix. I got to enjoy two unique AND good beers. The poke nachos not attached to brewery but just outside were phenomenal.

Great little brewery! If you happen to be in downtown Bakersfield: 1) I'm sorry, 2) Make the best of it by visiting 2nd Phase. Relaxed vibe and flavorful craft beers and cocktails - could hold its own in LA or SF. We will be back!

I didn't like any of the drinks, but I respect the heck out of how experimental it was. You have got to try it, if for no other reason than the pure novelty of some of the drinks.

I stopped by here with the Missus last Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar, and because it was busy, it took a few minutes for the bartender to serve us.When she did, I ordered the Es-So Fancy, a golden Ale with mint, cucumber, salsa and a tahin rim. It was like a glass of menudo- very interesting! Eventually our server went home for the day and we met Ashlie. She was very energetic and fun and served us a few of their more traditional beers which I found to be a bit more palatable. The pub mix snacks were a nice addition and the vibe here was perfect for a lazy afternoon. We'll be back!

The Agua Fresca Seltzers are delicious!! Ashley was so patient with me. She went over all the drinks they had. She sure knew her beers. Love the vibe. Sat outdoors and enjoyed the breeze. Drinks are very affordable, had 4 12 oz drinks and it was 30 bucks.
