Bootleggers Craft Pub & Eatery

Great spot near some hotels. Had great food and good local beers. Hotel recommended and it was good. Staff was friendly and helpful and recommended the best food on the menu. nothing to complain.

I tried one of their lunch specials: chicken sandwich. The batter was flavorful and crisp & chicken was juicy. I had a salad as my side with ranch. The veggies were cold and crisp & the ranch very good. Not all ranch dressings taste the same (IYKYK). I was able to sneak in a fry or two from my husband plate and also great. Fry was skinny, crips & well seasoned. I'm interested in going back to try some other things.

This place is stale. I ordered fish and chip. They were soggy and doughy. My date order a BBQ sandwich that was good. The waitress seemed to have a chip on her shoulder and wouldn't acknowledge me. Instead, she would only address my blonde date. They had sports games running on many TVs, which was great. This place is located in front of the most rough looking hotel and visited by the type of people that lived in it. I was embarrassed to bring my date here. Because of that, I won't be going back.

The food was this places saving grace. The service was awful. Took 30 minutes just to get our drinks, and when something we ordered wasn’t available, they waited till everyone else's food was out to tell us. Smh. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have all day to wait. Overall, great food but disappointing in the service.

Food wasn't as good as previous time there, chicken strips were almost all breading, my grilled chicken sandwich texture seemed like it was under cooked. I bite into it and felt rubbery. Will not be going back.

I went there with friends for dinner. We made a reservation because there were too many of us. We got the big platter of appetizers, and it was good. Their clam chowder soup was a superp. Our entrées were a faliure. The short ribs were lacking the bbq sauce, and you can tell that it was frozen before they cooked it. 2 of my friend who ordered the tritip steak, and they had to return it because it was super salty. My friend's chicken sandwich was greasy. The server was nice and helpful. The only good thing that we liked is their drinks were really good. I would come back only for drinks and snacks.

I stopped in there for a quickie.A drink worth my girl, and a quick bite to eat. Never been here before. Happened to stop in during happy hour. Had a couple drinks with "very decent prices" and about 10 tacos between me and mine..... the price tag was very acceptable "not expensive" as well as the waiter being very nice and prompt. Definitely be coming back

I make great ribs so I usually regret ordering ribs at a restaurant but not this time. Ribs were perfect. BBQ sauce could have been better with flavor options. Maybe some more spicy. Good thing the ribs really didn't need any extra sauce. They were great as they were served. Service was friendly. Price was not bad. Atmosphere was good. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

We were able to sit wherever we wanted, which was nice, we ordered drinks, a cucumber mule and a dbl tall coke and whiskey, the cucumber mule was terrible(never had one that was so bad), I sent it back. the whiskey was in a old fashion glass and only a single. We ordered the Moistmaker sandwich special...IT WAS AMAZING! We also ordered a side of fries (picture below) and almost got some...lol, but they were amazing tasting also.

Great pub located in centre of town with easy walking access from many hotels. Surprisingly large choice of craft beers on draught including porter and blonde. Staff friendly and food choice good. Can recommend chilli and chicken salad

Great beers and food and service! We stopped here on our way back from LA (to Fresno) on a busy holiday weekend. We were greeted as soon as we walked in (self-seating). We sat at the bar and had a great late lunch and a few beers. I like that they have a great selection of craft and domestic beers on tap. The menu had a lot to choose from, I had the cheesey pulled pork tacos-delicious, juicy, just the right amount of spice. I'd definitely stop here again, easy to find off the 99.

The Tri Tip salad was out of this world.Tried a side of Tatcho’s( tatter tot nachos) just wow.. The craft beers were great and cold. Berry margarita were superbThe waiters was super tooRecommend to all

Great service and excellent food! I had the Spinach Berry salad, a side of Tachos...Tater Tot Nachos and a Berry Margarita

So, this place is phenomenal. My husband and I recently moved to Bakersfield and decided that we wanted to explore the local eats.As soon as we sat down our waiter, Thomas, cheerfully greeted us and asked us where we were from. Finding out we had just moved here, he quickly told us all about the city and gave us a bunch of suggestions for food, drinks, and culture. His service was phenomenal, and really made us feel welcome in our new home.I highly recommend stopping by for a visit. On top of world-class service, the food was amazing and the drinks were a dangerous blend of tasty and powerful. Our visit here really set the mood for the whole night. We will definitely be back soon!Thank you, Thomas and all the other Bootleggers staff members. Y’all are a fine example of service.

Came in because of a travelers post of a salad. They no longer offered it on their menu but the head cook came out and was willing to make it for me since it was the reason I came to the restaurant. To me that is the best service around!!! Kudos to the wait staff for asking him to come out!
