Stopped by this newly opened beer garden and loved the vibe! Live music set the perfect tone while we relaxed on the spacious patio. No kitchen, but there's a food truck out front so you won't go hungry. Bonus points for being kid- and dog-friendly -- plus free pretzels! I ordered a flight and my favorites were the coconut stout and the nitro brews. Smooth, flavorful, and totally worth it. Such a fun, laid-back spot to hang out with friends and family! read more

BarrelHouse Brewing - Flight: Tangerine Sour, Barrel Wolf Reserve Nitro Stout, Coconut Stout, Big Sur Double IPA, Barrelhouse Black. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great first experience! Walking in to BarrelHouse we were met with happy people, great music, and a bustling bar. We were quickly served (the servers were great! Friendly and knowledgeable), I had the Moscow mule and it was AMAZING. Really great flavor and quality (I was a little skeptical because it was from a tap- pleasantly surprised). I had friends who ordered food from the truck- they loved the tacos and carne asada fries! The patio is great! Lots of space, lots of available tables. We will definitely be back for another visit. read more

First off, this place has been open for one week. I believe they have stuff pretty well set up. I would just say, I don't think they were ready for the Bakersfield crowds. I'm not quite sure of the set up but I believe they use glassware for the bears and plastic glasses for their other beverages. I will say Barrelhouse has been around for years b it this is their first brick and mortar location in Kern County. We attended a Live music night, to go along with our Barrelhouse ciders and Moscow Mule and an IPA. Every drink was very delicious. The look and feel of this place is very nice and will be a great location for years to come. They had two food trucks, which is must because their chips at the counter won't do it for me. I won't go into the food trucks, solely because one was great and the other was not so much and I don't believe that affects the location, since they will be forever in rotation. I'll just say the pastrami was alright but for the price I could've had 2-3 drinks (STEEP). Only thing I really felt was an issue, was one pour of an IPA we had ordered and due to them being out one tap, there was a ton of foam, the bartender went to a second tap, which I believe was also tapped out, so I was left with a 3/4 beer with 1/4 foam and it was in a plastic cup, so I know darn well it wasn't a 16oz beer. I'll give it this time and this time only, since they were newly open and VERY busy. Other than that one hiccup, I'd just say they need to be on top of the propane tanks for the outdoor torches they have on their patio. We will be back for sure, even if it just for a few hard root beers. Easily the best root beer EVER. Have a great one everyone and see you at the next spot. read more

Came here on a Friday evening, nice crowd both inside and outside. A bit too loud inside and couldn't hear over the band playing so we stepped outside. Nice place, would be nice to have some heaters available for occasionally chilly nights but I love the place. And the idea of a food truck for food options. Loved the beers we had. The strawberry one that I had was nice and refreshing. Amazing service from the crew as well! Would be back! read more

Barrelhouse Brewing is always a good time! This is their newer location- which I must say is a good size. Both indoor or outdoor seating available. Order your drinks at the bar and find your own seat. The stage was rocking on Friday night with live musicians. Food truck is located in parking lot. This barrelhouse has a great section for merchandise ( t shirts, drink coasters and etc). I ordered a strawberry frozen slushie, it was so nice having an option that was a beer alternative. It was easy to drink and not overly sweet.My husband ordered a mango ipa and loved it. Great chill spot for date night or gathering with friends! read more

After attending the Grand Opening, I am excited to see more from the BarrelHouse. They will have local food trucks rotating on a regular basis. Check their calendar to see who is going to be serving food. Even though they were quite busy, we were able to get our beers quickly, and the folks behind the bar were very friendly. I'm excited for more concerts here, the sound system really booms. This is their fourth location. They have locations up and down the Central Valley. It looks like it has the makings to be a great addition for our community, especially with the local food truck push. read more

BarrelHouse absolutely nailed the new Bakersfield taproom. The layout offers plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great spot to settle in. For a day-one opening, the staff was on point--everyone was smiling and clearly excited to be there. The indoor stage is easily the best I've seen at any BH taproom, and the sound definitely brings the energy, especially with that bass. As always, the beers are dialed in with a perfect pour every time. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by for a cold beer and making a few new friends along the way. read more

Great new brewery space for bakersfield! Regular beers and rotating beers keeps this place easy to return to again and again. The rotating food trucks also make it a fun space to try new foods each visit. The stage is a great addition for this area of town, can't wait to see a show here while enjoying great beers. We liked the sunny daze and the hazys - quite a few on the list. Service was fast and friendly and easy to order at the bar and keep a tab open. We will be back! Welcome to Bakersfield barrelhouse! read more

We came to the grand opening of the new Barrelhouse location and we had a great time! Barrelhouse made great use of space adding a stage to the venue. The place was packed for the opening but they were heavily staffed making lines move quickly to order beer. We enjoyed our beers- the blonde cold brew, coffee stout and sunnydaze. I'm so excited to see such a great turn out and hope they continue to have live music. read more

Today is the grand opening of Barrelhouse Brewing, so I had to come check it out. I've been to the Visalia and Paso Robes locations and they are always great to stop by and have a drink. As expected it was packed house. The ambiance is pretty cool they have a pretty nice size stage for concerts inside and a medium sized patio outside. The place is pet friendly, which is nice to know. One tip if you plan on stopping by bring your own food if you can. Unless you don't mind paying a bit extra for the food truck outside. They have a few video game machines and merch you can buy. If your into Barrel House beer this is the stop for you. read more

It's big, it's clean, it's chill. The beers are ridiculously expensive and are not that good. House lager 16 oz comes out to $9.15 without tip. I had to boof it to get my moneys worth. read more

Came in on Valentines Day with my friend, we had a couple beers. It was very busy, we brought food in with us to eat. Also bought a salad and smash burger for her kiddos from the food truck. Band came in and did a mic check then left and didn't return while we were there for about another hour or so. I'd asked for a crowler right when I got there, bartender said they were out. Went up for a second beer and a customer in front of me had just bought a crowler, seemed strange to me. Nice new brewery to hang out at. read more

Came during the grand opening and they had a reggae performance that day. Been to their location in Tin City and am a fan of their products and merch. Love their drinks and they have awesome customer service. It was such a vibe that day and everyone had an awesome time. Can't beat good music + good drinks & food. I'm glad they're local now! Definitely will be a go to spot especially when they have La Marea serving up their food there! read more

Beer is better in cans, taste different at the tap room. Most of the times we've been there the music is super loud, but I mean loud. Mind you I am a DJ and play in a band and I love loud music, but their bands do not control the volume or EQ it. I would understand if music was nice, punchy, clear vocals, but not. read more

Excellent. Yum. Great. Very good. Yummy in my tummy. Me likey. I'll be back. Mango IPA. Yes.

Decent beers, but the smell from their production facility is overwhelming and smells like raw sewage. Even recent bands that have played there have mentioned it. It makes it hard to enjoy everything. read more

Dude!! It's about time Bakersfield gets a legit brewery and hang out. Family friendly, dog friendly, and the sound system is off the chain. If you come for live music, expect the best. What a great place to have since the Crystal Palace is closed. I'm certain they will be getting big names with a stage that size. I should also mention they have great beers, especially the root beer seltzer. These peeps invested in Bakersfield big time. I hope the amazing people in Bakersfield show up and support to keep these guys around. read more

Service is great, and the ambiance is fun especially with a good band playing good music!

Was here for the opening day the music was way too loud you need to work it out, people need their eardrums LOL The beer is mediocre and way overpriced, I ordered one Big Sur 10 oz and it was over $10 with tax at that rate if I wanted to 16 oz beer would probably be 17 dollar range with tax. I'm sorry my salary hasn't risen as much as your beer prices have. A 12 oz beer for $12 you got to be kidding me. You don't own beer you only rented for a short time. LOL read more

Almost $10 for one beer and live music was set to max volume for some reason. Also food trucks jack their prices up.. save your time and go to lengthwise. read more

great ambiance and the beer is from SLO, so it is always good. however, bakersfield gave us attitude when my wife's asked them to do secret menu beer that requires mixing 3 beers. a secret menu item she learned from the visalia beer tender. If my wife wants to mix 3 beers to make a specialty beer, they shouldn't shame her!!! But they will learn. read more
