Veterans of Foreign Wars - Tehachapi Mountain Post 5948

Best bar( Canteen) in Tehachapi. Friendly family oriented. A lot of good people..

The people are great, the drinks are cold.

This place is the best. Friendly people and great events for families. Cheapest drinks in town.

I'm glad there's someone there to help fix issues when customers have issues with the employees/volunteers you just have to message the VFW Facebook page.

I used to go to this place all the time. No one bothered me, and I mostly kept to myself or played pool with random people. I’ve been going on and off, and aside from one incident where some random guy said, “Mexicans have no morals,” it was usually a fine experience. The main bartender with the handlebar mustache has always been kind of a jerk, but tolerable. He was quick to jump to conclusions during some of our conversations, but for the most part, we got along okay.

Now, here’s what happened recently. I was talking to a guy about his experience in Vietnam, and the bartender was part of the conversation. We were all having a good time when I suddenly felt someone staring at me. I looked across the bar and saw a man giving me a mean, squinty look. I kept staring, and we locked eyes, but he wouldn’t look away.

I pointed him out to the guys and said, “This man is mad dogging me.” They looked, and the guy got uncomfortable and moved further down the bar. The bartender got furious and said, “Well, it’s rude to point.” I replied, “Isn’t it rude to stare?” He said I didn’t know why the man was staring , maybe he thought I was pretty This definitely wasn’t the case, but I’m open-minded.

I told him it didn’t matter if the man thought I was pretty or not; he shouldn’t be staring at me like that. It felt threatening. At that point, the bartender got really mad, probably because he felt challenged by me. He said, “You know you’re too drunk, I’m cutting you off,” and walked away.

To be clear, I had only had three drinks. I was about to leave because I had no more cash and the atm wasn't working with my card He told me to stay and gave me a free beer on the house 10 minutes prior to the situation. I clearly wasn’t drunk after just a 3 Bud Lights. I believe he did this as a way to take back control because I wasn’t backing down.

He tries to belittle people with weird jabs. He is clearly unhappy and has openly expressed marital problems, so maybe that’s why he’s so grumpy.

I lost it at that point , not because he cut me off, but because he was trying to assert power over me. I did something I’m not proud of and cussed him out as I walked out the door.

There is another bartender there who is super cool, and his gf comes in and is a kind soul. You can have a good time here just avoid the handle bar guy.

Great place to rock n roll...

Fantastic, relaxing place to hang out and enjoy a few inexpensive pints! They have carried out some amazing renovations over the past 8 months with more to come. Karaoke on Fridays are a blast and they have bands at least once a month performing for all. Well worth a visit.

Amazing place to go for a few drinks. The bartenders are kind and attentive. The local patrons are great conversationalists. The drinks are cheap and delicious!Free pool on Sundays and cheap any other day of the week too!

This place is a hidden gem. The best crowd and drinks in town. Drinks are cheap & the bar tenders are awesome, even the new ones! ❤️

This is an amazing club with an awesome atmosphere of fun and great stories! I've been to many VFWs but never one as fantastic as this?

The greatest canteen I’ve ever been to, awesome service with amazing drinks. The atmosphere is incredible and I like that they give back to their community.

Cool place but the so called bar Mgr. is so rude & unpleasant....why does she dress like she is running errands at Walmart! Tending bar and pajamas are not a good look!!!
