34 Best Cocktail Bars in Bakersfield

“Awesome place!!! Great drinks! Awesome bartender's!!! Great atmosphere!!!“

“Went here last night for our first time. We were celebrating our 11 yr anniversary :) it was late, 30min til closing, so not sure if its more busy earlier in the night. But it was perfect for us. Great music and atmosphere. We could actually hear each other talk lol. Not having to squeeze through and wave my hands for around 10min just to order a drink lol. Room at the bar to sit. I loved it. The bartender was a nice guy. Benny I think his name was. Made me a bomb Pina colada. Not even Malibu and it was the best I had. We could taste the fresh lime juice in my man's margarita too. It was $40 without tip for the 2 drinks and a shot. So about average for a safe bar downtown with fresh ingredients. Might have to find out if they have a happy hour lol. Definitely worth it for a special occasion. We will be back to check out the downstairs too :) thanks!“

“we visited this classic historic bar when my son and I traveled to see Dwight Yoakum in Bakersfield. we found the historic well known hang outs to be awesome! Go to this bar, say hi to Drew and the crew! great peeps! we will be back!“

“Phenomenal burgers. I will have to stop by when I am not in the middle of a 350 mile drive from LA to SF. The bar looks well stocked. We had lunch in the bar, but they also have indoor and outdoor dining areas. Really cool. Definitely worth going again.“

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

“I went there for karaoke The KJ is a friend of mine and he is a fantastic KJ he does an awesome job and he really gets his crowd going knows how to introduce singers and his sound system is very professional I recommend him for parties or for anything that has to do with DJ or karaoke he also has a band that performs very professional!!!“

The bartenders have such great personalities and I'll come back and visit anytime! The even made accommodations for my handicapped friend. Drinks are good company is good, definitely recommend for a good time.
They do not serve any food so eat something BEFORE going into the bar 😂“

“Relajado el lugar Agusto ,y elegante“

“Ever since the new owners took over they just keep improving!Mind u, I wasn’t a longtime customer from back in the day, however, in MY opinion, it has DRASTICALLY IMPROVED! Love the live bands almost every weekend, drink specials, KARAOKE on Thursday & Friday night & did I happen to mention the absolute BEST BARTENDERS ANYWHERE! As Toby Keith would say…”I love this bar” go check it out!“

“Interesting (in good sense) breakfast choices. Shakshouka was perfection. Finally, it's rare to get a sweet potato dish that tastes amazing. Don't miss Moo Creamery's version of sweet potato.“

“What a special treat to discover this restaurant my first morning in Bakersfield. Delicious Chilaquiles, and a coffee made with that very special natural sugar found everywhere in Colombia, South America, Panela! Topped off with salsa music. I’ll be back.“

“very fun hangout....a must go to!“

“The aesthetic of the place and the food is nice.“

“To me Eclipse have the best Steak. I always get the three sauce, but my favorite is that brandy sauce with the steak. The steak is tender and seasoned really good you don’t need the sauce, but i love the sauce too. Veggies are soo fresh and seasoned well. I brought my mom and she loves it too.“

“Small but good service and friendly clientele. Drinks poured as expected.“

“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.“

“Incredible experience, a mandatory stop for anyone who wants to eat like the Gods...Extremely good.....I would like a place like this in Miami.David, and the kitchen team are going to surprise you.Thank you very much for such excellent service.10000000% recommended and of course I have to repeat it.“

“We ate dinner tonight and had a great experience. We were served by a terrific waitress, Beatrice. She was impressive. She never wrote anything down and got everything right. We felt like we were her only table with her attentiveness even though the restaurant was busy. Next time we go we’re asking to sit in her area. And the food was excellent as it always.“

“New restaurant/bar opened up a little while back but yesterday was the first time in there. Sat up at the bar...Sunday morning...late. I ordered a melon margarita and it was pinkish in color, unlike the green melon look I had been accustomed to. So I asked the bartender Cass (sp?) how she made it. I wanted to know because it was very tasty, especially with the Tajin on the glass. Off to a great start! My brother ordered the menudo (Sundays) and he raved about it. Me, I ordered the huevos rancheros....off the friggin' hook!! I'm not going to say more, just come in and see what they are doing with the food. Close by too...I will be hanging out there....football on tv too!!! Sunday evening was packed so it looks like people know about this exquisite place to eat, drink, and live la vida loca!!! lol“

“Wanted to try a new place for breakfast and found the Mimosa Cafe. It’s a cozy place that plays mellow music. The waitress was friendly and quick to seat us. The coffee was very good for being a standard cup. Ordered the Chili Verde Breakfast Burrito. It was huge!!! Came with a side of salsa and sour cream. The flavor was good, but seemed to have more of a black pepper taste than a chili pepper taste which kind of threw me off at first. But, was still tasty after moving on from the flavor profile. The wait between getting checked on for refills and check were far apart but I don’t want to take away from how nice the waitress was. Still a good place to check out and try.👍“

“Yesterday I played baccarat there. I was playing on my table and jumping to bet only bonus on the other table 2-3 times the third times after I left my bet on bonus and walked away Coco the deal called me hey ma’am or miss I’m not sure saying “after you bet you should tell me to move your bet” with her anger face. I’m like do I need to tell you? After I put my bet and walked away? I didn’t sit there and play with you! It’s common sense that you should know and move it yourself when there’s no base bet there and only 2 ppl play at that table what’s hard for you to just move it? And idk if it’s my job to tell dealers to move it every time that i don’t put base bet. That 2 ppl they sit at the end of the table and I just put on the spot that close to me. Anyway it’s not a big deal it just killed my mood. Later she came to deal on my table I just walked away as soon as she sat down ohh well good luck with your smiling face! 5 stars is for many good things of this casino not for dealer!!!“

“Appreciate that the have vegan options“

“It was an okay experience compared to other Mexican Mariscos Restaurants. I might be a little more critical because I’m comparing it to Los Angeles Mariscos. The standard here is on the lower level. I will say this it’s better than most Mariscos restaurants in Bakersfield.“

“Best passion fruit margaritas“

“great food & the mixed drinks are 💣“

“They are stingy with there portions , the orange chicken looks like a kid served it“
