“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.“

“Such a great, amazing experience!!!!!! Recently celebrated my beautiful wedding! Kristin was such an amazing coordinador, extremely helpful thru out the whole process on my wedding planning!

“I’ve been in town for a year, and this bar is the highlight. My favourite bartender is Courtney. She is one if not the best bartender I’ve ever met. She makes fantastic drinks and is honest, loves her job, and genuinely cares about her customers. VIP lounge is one of the highlights of the town and Courtney’s service makes it just that much better. God bless yall. :)“

“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!”.“

“I contacted them to order lunch for my husband, a really good service. My husband decided to take some clients to eat and they were really happy. Sadly we couldn't meet the owner to give him the shout out but we will definitely go back.“

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

“We had a blast playing Bingo.“

“Great place for cocktails with friends, game day or live music evenings. Owners and staff are all wonderful, service with a smile and very welcoming! Customer service is top notch and the drinks are well made, not the chintzy pours we get elsewhere. Getting to be a favorite of ours!“

“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.“

“I love this restaurant for both take out and dine in! Such an amazing location. This place has an awesome vibe. Check it out. The service is always on point. The food is delicious also. Try the Garlic Noodles on the app menu. ?

Vegetarian options: Gardein not chicken tenders, not orange orange chicken!“

“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!!!“

“Good food cheap drinks good food prices friendly staff“

“Always a great experience“

“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 -⭐“

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

“Valet is a joke! Violent and horrible!“

“This place is definitely my comfort zone. I've always loved stand-up and watching some of the greats come to Bakersfield is awesome! I was the only one to take a pic with Paul Rodriguez after he said he's retiring from comedy so that was something 😁 My favorite show so far was Gianmarco Soresi when he called himself a "straggot". Good vibes, drinks and great food 🤗“
