11 Best Bar & Grill in Bakersfield

“We celebrated my birthday on taco Tuesday & we also participated in the line dancing after dinner in their brand new venue. It was rustic with a timeless, vintage flair. The line dancing was family friendly and so much fun. I had the steak salad. It was solid! Good size steak medallions in a super fresh bed of lettuce and assorted veggies including tomatoes and beets with home made blue cheese dressing. Our daughter who almost never finishes any of her meals consumed most of her taco salad which was a generous serving. She couldn’t stop telling us how good it was! Papa had the very flavorful ground beef tacos with a side of perfectly seasoned potato salad. We ordered a side of carne asada tacos which were a little on the dry and salty side. Although the place was very busy our server was very attentive and recommended their Ribeye special on Thursdays…so, we made it out again tonight to celebrate our anniversary. We both had the amazing ribeye special and boy was it special! Salad was once again so fresh and tasty. The baked potato and sweet potato fries were melt in your mouth yum. The rolls were toasted yet so tender. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. No need for any condiments on these steaks. We thought it would be good but not that good! Salute to the outstanding chefs! Our server Jasmine was also very attentive and made us feel at home. We ate in the newly extended covered patio which was very inviting but could use better lighting on the outskirts of the patio. We are looking forward to trying the fish Friday specials including shrimp tacos next! Thank you Ethel’s for the outstanding service and for serving up heartwarming meals!“

“I didn't actually go to the club, I was at the taco truck which is just outside of the club.The club is huge, it is right next to (Highland?) Lounge which is a hotel/motel.Alot of Latinx, Hispanics, and Spanish Speakers. People may speak English or possibly even Arabic.Maybe one to four White people, including me; I pass as White.No visibly Black people. If so I have never seen them here EVER. I've lived in this neighborhood almost all of my life.No Asians spotted that night.There is no significant Asian population here or in Bakersfield.There may have been some others like maybe Arabs, Jews, Middle Eastern, and India people. Huge Sheikh population here (attractive Sheikh temple located 2-3 miles from here).Al-Haitham (Arabic for young eagle or young falcon) bought Greenfield Market and renamed it Al-Haitham Market; they are next door to the club.Maybe demographics are changing it into an Arabic and/or Middle Eastern neighborhood.I was the only registered Native there (1/64 Cherokee).However alot of Mestizos which are basically Native and Spanish/Hispanics mix.It's not know to be segregated or have any race issues since the club is technically in Greenfield (soon to be Al-Haitham area?) just 7 miles south from Bakersfield.The club is close by schools like McKee school (used to have K-8) and Golden Valley High so be on your best behavior here.If you get into trouble like speeding over 25mph in school zones just be advised the fine may double if the incident happened within 1,000 ft. of a school.Speed limit on S. Union is 45 mph unless posted otherwiseDress code enforced.Many people dressed up in cowboy or Norteno Mexicano apparel ( palm cowboy hats, exaggerated and decorative belt buckles, blue denim jeans, and cowboy boots (yes even the long curvy tip boots).The women dress somewhat between Amish style to street walker apparel. Very modest here.No tank tops, No shorts, No sandals.I was denied access to enter the club because I wore Los Angeles sandals that night.“
