35 Best Cocktail Bars in Bakersfield

“Loved everything about my experience at The Botanist. The atmosphere is what I heard most about, so I tried it for date night. It did not disappoint. Service was excellent, server was attentive and helpful. They are known for unique cocktails, so I tried am Encanto (tequila based with orange and basil) and it was phenomenal. Also had the Loaded Fries, which made a full meal. Can't wait to go back.“

“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.“

“First time trying and the staff took forever cause they were attending a bday table that was loud and obnoxious but we stayed and glad we did cause the food was really good. Cafe de Olla was good. Iced coffees not so much.“

“Let me tell you guys this, this place is great. Food, service, and atmosphere. Just great! I got the country-fried steak burrito and my wife got the chile verde omelet. Will most likely come again with the whole family. Thank you everything was awesome!“

“the food is amazing which is why i keep coming back to this place with that being said food is different for everyone so give it a try and make your own decision. customer service was good too. everyone was friendly. one thing i will say that i did not like was the fact that my food came out first rather then my appetizers which i believe is the incorrect way of doing things right? by the time my appetizer came out i was already half way done with my food i kinda regretted getting the appetizer..... we ordered the camarones dorados ( fried shrimp),the pasta brava,the 7 mares (7 seas) and 2 large drinks 1 horchata and 1 agua de piña and no refills( i don't know if the refill is free but i doubt it) total was right under 90$ for our food not including tip. will go back there again soon“

“I love Golden West , also known as the card room . I love the vibe and the beautiful epicly hot Asian dealers 😂, blackjack is my favorite table game and reasonable 5$ chip bets so you can really come up just remember quit when your ahead lady's are beautiful but better you leave with your money then leaving there for them . I also love the techno music blasting in back room and they have great food open 24 hours day so get some rest before heading to card room on union accross from starliter motel . Jim Dollarhide 🏄🤑“

“I enjoyed a delicious breakfast this morning and the food was delicious. The staff was friendly, professional, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. Will definitely go again. Esta mañana disfruté de un delicioso desayuno y la comida estaba deliciosa. El personal era amable y profesional, y el restaurante estaba limpio y muy bien decorado. Definitivamente volveré.“

“Mexicali was busy but quickly got a table on a Sunday. They have a brunch menu separate from their regular menu. You have to try it...amazing food. I ordered small menudo and it was honey combed and delicious. The tamale was juicy big and flavorful . Brunch orders come with fresh mexican bread and choice of dessert. The meal is your pick of four choices. Yummy. Champagne is also offered with brunch.
Our server was Marianne and she was very attentive. Will be back. Best in Bakersfield.

Parking: Handicap parking is right in front of entrance doors.“
