32 Best Cocktail Bars in Bakersfield

“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.“

“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.“

“very fun hangout....a must go to!“

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

“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.👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The decor is a little sparse but clean. Service is attentive and friendly. The beer is ice cold and my wife had a house margarita that she said was very good. The menu is not full of “gringo” items, it’s more what you find at authentic Mexican restaurants. They have daily specials that are well worth it. I had the shrimp tacos and they were very good. I could only eat two and had to bring the third one home. My wife had the August chile and she loved it. Again she had to bring some of it home. Salsa was good(red) and they were very “chips” are fried whole corn tortillas. They have a mararchi band so it can get a little noisy. I recommend this place for many reasons and I will come back many times. Good food and good people.“

“Appreciate that the have vegan options“

“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.“
