“I always come specifically for the bartender Sheila Winchester! She is the most attentive, sweetest, cutest bartender you are going to find in Bakersfield. They have cornhole, AMI, and a patio for chillen. Drinks are cheap here… Like the cheapest. This bar is better than The Highland Cafe, Longbranch and the train bar if you are searching for a cool spot. It’s old so don’t expect too much.“

“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!“

“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!”.“

“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.“

See you soon ?

Kid-friendliness: Our grandson loved his spaghetti and meatballs and our waiter was very kind to our grandson. The waiter was very knowledgeable and very helpful for our grandson to choose a dish, the serving size is very plentiful. Thank you see you soon ?“

“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 🤗“

“Good food ! Not a disappointment“

“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 -⭐“

“Esta chido el ambiente la verdad“
