My best friend wanted to dance, so we walked around the corner from Alley Cat. There was a door…read moreright across the door from Alley Cat, but the bouncer said something about them not letting people in through that door after a certain time or something. We were charged $5 just to enter Rileys, unsure if that's just how it is every night. The dance floor was a good size, and some guys started rapping with the music. It sure did get the crowd hyped, but it didn't get people dancing, I noticed. I didn't get anything to drink at Rileys, so I can't comment on the drinks. Rileys was a younger crowd, and it didn't strike me as a mellow place. I don't see us returning to just have a drink and chill, especially if there's a cover charge.

Talented artist filled the stage. 12 member band left them little room to move but it looked like they had a blast performing. Ordering drinks and snacks is easy but come early if you want to eat. The sound and lighting is very good in this small venue and I especially like that they don't have it so loud your eardrums are going to rupture! Staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable. If you have an issue with anything just ask. Bartenders are quick and the drinks are good. Expect to pay premium prices. Don't forget to grab some popcorn before the show start. Oh yeah, the upstairs bar is Cash Only! You can purchase drinks with a card down stairs then take your receipt upstairs for a drink. Find a concert you'd like to see and give this place a try! I think you'll enjoy it!

Another knock out concert held at World Records. The incomparable Walter Trout was in the house!…read more The lovely local Glenda Robles and Hot Taco opened the show. They have so much talent it's a pleasure that they are a Bakersfield band. Accompanying Walter this evening was Teddy Zig Zag on keyboards, John Avila on base, Michael Leisure on drums and John Trout, Walter's Son, vocals & guitar. What an all star band each member having a storied history of their own. On concert nights you can call ahead to order one of Jimmy's famous wood fired pizzas for a little nosh preconcert. Check out World Records website for upcoming shows and events. It's a great venue if you are looking to host an event. And as always music for sale.

In Downtown Bakersfield you can find a unique music venue in the Historic Nile Theater. What used…read moreto be a local movie theater has become a hip local hangout to catch a show. The Fox Theater (around the corner) Foundation purchased the venue and offers (mostly) standing room only. There is enough room for dancing or hanging out by the bar. The bar offers a limited beer, wine, and mixed cocktails options. The lower, stage front section has lots of room for dancing. Free parking is on the street. 19th street is one-way traffic east bound. Nearby downtown there is plenty of dining options if you want to meet your group before the show, then walk over to The Nile. I've seen Steel Pulse and Strangelove Depeche Mode Experience at The Nile Theater. Both were 5 Star shows. My friend spilled his wine as soon as he got it and the bartender gave him a free replacement. Really kind.

Beer is either $7.50 for water beer or $9.50 for good beer--outrageous. The chairs are tied so close together that you have to sit on your neighbors lap--luckily we had a nice cool night. the music was very good for a cover band (Abba) and worth the $35. Also, they have lots of the park taped off so people can't listen for free. ?how can they do that at a public park funded with tax payer dollars?. we used to go to shows all the time--I doubt we will be back.. shame on you for being so greedy. let people at least bring in their own water.

My complaint is with the late comers and the ushers. I wish people would be considerate and arrive on time. If they're late, I wish the ushers would hold them until intermission. It was crazy how much of the performance was blocked because of rude people standing in the aisle, stupidly looking for their seats. Also, make sure you sit in the right seats to begin with! People would be looking for their seat, but would be confused because someone was already sitting there. The seats are clearly marked...it's not that hard people. It's frustrating to miss out on parts of the performance because of oblivious people. Our seats weren't cheap! I'd say buy front and center, but counted at least 10 people cutting through the front row to get to their seat at the other side. Ridiculous!

Highly recommend trying the coconut shrimp appetizer (perfectly crispy and coconutty), and the clam chowder (very flavorful and not too heavy) if they have it! The steaks are wonderful! I always get the filet (with a perfectly pink center every time) and it never disappoints. If you're looking for a steak house with a retro-vibe (the sunken bar and all around decor sends you to another time) this is your place! Also- the owners are great! You know you're in good company when you see them greeting tables, seating guests, bussing and setting up tables themselves.
