“Great place to party! Especially when Lisa is bar tending! Love her!!!“

“O'Hennings is truly a hidden gem. I tend to go either Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The bartender, Sheila, is the sweetest person. The drinks were poured perfectly, and she got everyone at the bar to play games. Due to its location, I was sort of hesitant to go in, but once you step inside, it's very inviting and calm. The parking lot is well lit, and theres a Taco truck right outside with their own seating area, or you can take your food into the bar. The only downside is that it's kind of dated inside.“

“playing pool & making money. Got a very good table. Good place to celebrate weddings, funerals, etc... LOTS OF PEOPLE TO HELP YOU OR HURT YOU.“

“Bootleggers is amazing!!!“

“The acoustic guitar & vocalist are awesome tonight.“

“THE most friendliest pub in town and they don't charge an arm and a leg for their drinks. The bartenders are friendly and they don't put up with belligerent people. So, it's a great place to go alone if your a woman looking to unwind. Or, possibly meet male or female friends. They have a pool table, dart games, video games, and a nice comfortable patio for winter or summer. Plus, they have cameras for security, but you wouldn't need it here. Go in for a drink, belly up to the bar, and see how friendly these people who frequent the place are! It's been in this town like forever. Big red and yellow neon sign says, “Vi's Cocktails” on Rosedale Hwy. west past Albertsons and Allen Rd., but just east of the Renfro St. stoplight on the left hand side. Bartenders will always greet you with a smile and welcome you with a “Hi, what can I get for you!”.“

“music, atmosphere, drinks, ppl watching lol...“

“Always a great experience“

“5 stars for this type of place. As I always say, go i to places being realistic about what to expect. 2 of us went on a Friday at 5:30pm. It was busy. It was Happy Hour! We grabbed a drink and hung out by the bar until our table was ready. That took , maybe, 20 minutes. Not bad, in my opinion. We had a nice booth, and it was a fun atmosphere. We ordered happy hour appetizers and they came out in 10 minites. Super fastband friendly service. I think they have a well oiled machine going at this place. The pruce during happy hour can't be beat for the qualuty if food you get. I think its a great place to meet up with friends, have dinner with the kids, or a first meet-up kind of spot.“

“Really good from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. The waiter was engaged and helpful. The food was fantastic and the wine selection so good I bought and drank a bottle. Shocked an Italian Restaurant this good, in of all places, Bakersfield.“

“We had rack of lamb. Perfect food. Perfect service by Chris. Come here hungry or bring a couple friends. We are def coming back!! We had fun“

“We had dinner there last night, one of the best fillets I’ve had in quite some time, lobster was excellent, service, off the charts. That folks is why we keep coming back!!!“

“The service is always so nice! Especially victor and his right hand man! The girls are always smiling and the Chile verde nachos are the best in town but please tell us if you’ve had better😊“

“Good food cheap drinks good food prices friendly staff“

“We've been 4 or 5 times and the food is beyond excellent!“

“We met our friends here for dinner one evening and was blown away at how great the food was how great the atmosphere was and the service was wonderful . We absolutely recommend it.“

“extremely poor service. my boys were at a birthday party and it took an hour just to get drinks, at that they warm bottled drinks. then it took another hour or longer to get food. no one ever walked up to them for 45 min. and was not even a busy night not very many other customers their. never came back to refill. the drinks. extremely unacceptable service. it is sad when you can get better service and food from a food truck than an actual restaurant. not sure where to leave star rating but it would be -⭐“

“Muy amables munchas gracias“

“Valet is a joke! Violent and horrible!“

“Good food ! Not a disappointment“

“I like going to this place i always have a greatTime and whoever goes with me does as well! But just be cautious of people and just be responsible theres been cops around that area so just be smart when you go out and drink !But the bud light bottles are $4 eachAnd im not sure of the other drinksThe bartenders are very nice!“

“Esta chido el ambiente la verdad“

“Absolutely great place to make as one of your first choices for brunch on weekends or lunch, dinner or just drinks during the week. My favorite brunch is "Mom's Waffles" or "Biscuit Benedict". You can't go wrong with any of their burgers either. Even the Tatter Tots are seasoned perfect. Drinks are delicious. If you like to drink your dessert try the "Lemon Cheesecake Martini". It's family friendly. If you get Nelson as your waiter, tell him you heard he is the best. My wife and I hope you enjoy your visit and a Blessed and Happy New Year - 2025“

“Fist time trying Indian food , it was delicious! Highly recommend.“
