It was really good , but won't be going back just to support a dear friend that was let go by them. My friend is an amazing chef with great talent in cooking and I hope I have support from other's as well. Who ever hires him next will have an amazing person but a great chef.
We know the chef. He's creative and his food is fabulous!
I had the old fashioned and an order of bourbon Tritip tacos. Everything, including the service, was incredible. They play current country music which gives a good Bakersfield vibe. Great spot downtown to drink and eat. They have locked cages you can rent to put spirits in for future use.
Cask Strength Bar and Kitchen offers a mix of experiences in a unique atmosphere that stands out in Bakersfield. The whiskey sliders are described as super sweet, while the chips n salsa/bean dip can be too spicy for some. The mojos remain the highlight of the meal. The service is friendly, though it can be slow, especially on busy nights. The bar is inviting, and the bartenders are helpful, crafting well-made drinks like espresso martinis and old fashioneds. The chili verde Mac & cheese continues to be a standout, along with recommendations for cherry wings and Brussels sprouts. This hidden gem is a great spot for date nights or quick meetups, with the decor featuring cask barrels adding to the ambiance. Overall, the place can get busy but still leaves guests satisfied.
