This a dive bar so if your not into dive bars you've been warned. This is also an old school style with low ceilings and dark interior and they open at 6 am on the weekends. The bar is attached to Zingo's cafe and you get food in the bar if you chose. It is a cash only bar but there is an ATM if you need cash. I frequent several cash only bars and this is not an issue if you know it going in. There area several signs on the entrance warning its a cash bar. Jessica the bartender was friendly and attentive during my visit. This is a locals vibe but everyone was friendly. I even laughed watching a little dog sitting in a bar stool next to his owner. There are several TV's, pool table, and dart board for your entertainment. This is a casual dive bar with no pretentious people in it. read more

If you want a to straight to the point bar with classic beers and mixed drinks this is the place for you. Nothing flashy, no gimmicks just reasonably priced drinks. The surrounding area looks kind of sketch but the unsavory characters dont make their way in there. Just salt of the earth people. read more

Thank you Peggy for indulging our night out. Drinks delicious, Chris rocked Karaoke. All around a great night. Mellow vibe, happy crowd. We love you read more

Zero star if I could. Never again returning. Will be sure to tell everyone not to go. Atmosphere is off, the people were unwelcoming, rude, and standoffish including the bartender. I'm all for a dive bar but not where I'm going to be feeling uncomfortable because the people clearly didn't want us there. Seems like a place that only likes their regulares and hates everybody else. read more

Faded bar tender, but she's alright, other then getting my order wrong two times. All the people in their worked at the restaurant attached and were faded, but informative. Some big Indian guy made a comment on me playing hip hop, (I guess they prefer country/ old timer tunes). Everyone in there was over 50 years old except baR tender, but they were ok.. read more

It must have taken me close to ten years to figure out the name of this bar. Back in the day, when visiting Zingo's at 3am to close out the usually interesting night, it'd be a subject of much discussion. The conversation usually went like this: "Is that a bar? What's it called?" "I dunno? The Zingo's Bar?" "Should we ask a waitress?" "Feh. Why bother?" And so it went for many years. Leaving Zingo's, I never bothered to turn around and figure out what the hell the place was called. So, a few years ago, I made it a goal to go into this bar, so that at least I could cut off any future conversation about it. The first time I visited, I went by myself. I ordered a few drinks and sat at a booth away from the bar, just taking in the ambiance and the sideways looks of the bartender. From that visit and a few other amusing visits with friends later, I discovered the allure of The Boss. This is where truckers go to pick up ladies who like truckers. What do you call ladies who like truckers? Trucker groupies? Anyway, this is a good place to witness the bizarre foreplay rituals of truckers and the ladies who love them. Throw a little nameless '70s rock on the jukebox and watch the mullet-ed men of interstate travel go to work. read more

Wow, what a suprise this place was. I went in to Zingo's next door looking for dinner and a cold beer. I thought the waitress was joking when she said that we could take our food through what looked to be a broom closet door and eat in the bar next door so long as we didn't bring any alcohol into ZIngo's. Upon opening the door I found a short hallway protected by a sign reading "You must be over 21 to enter the bar" and decorated with a bunch of plastic Dale Jr Budwiser flags and a stock car hood. This opened to a dimly lit bar with a pool table, several stools and a middle aged bartender who was relying a little too much on "the girls" to earn her tips for the night. There were all of two beers on tap to compliment the otherwise full service bar, both of which fell in the "American Light Lager" category and after selecting Coors Light over Bud Light I watched as my beer was poured into a mug that had been in a steaming dishwasher mere moments before. Recognizing her faux pas the bar maid cheerfully relayed to me that "It ain't cold but at least it's clean!" Yes. At least it was clean. read more

Ok..if you are looking for a" non-commercial" local bar then this is your place! I love the family atmosphere here, and by that I mean, that if you come in more than once they remember you by name and act happy to see you back. There are some negative reviews about this bar but I do not agree at all. We were in town on a job and were shown such hospitality... I love coming here! The owner Kristy is so awesome and her bartenders like Kathy,Britain and Jennifer are great! The bathrooms are extra clean, the pool table is only 50 cents and the beer is cold! This is my new fave in Cali!! The best little dive here! read more

I came here looking for a new place to play pool out of and was disappointed at what I found. The good was that the pool table only took 50 cents compared to the dollar most places take the bad was that the speaker system was directly above the pool railing so you would have LOUD beats playing right on top of you while you were trying to play. The bathroom was barely the size of a broom closet and there was no privacy protector so I caught a good view of a guys bird walking in. There was no soap in the mens room and the bartender said she had no idea how to replace the soap, that womans short dress may earn her tips but the lack of basic sanitation means I will not be coming back. The parking lot is also filled with seedy guys walking two or from the strip club right next to the bar. read more

Beautiful atmosphere wonderful service..will be back every time I am in Bakersfield... Heather 2 is the shit.,..the best bartender around

I highly recommend this bar. If you're lookin for the perfect place to shut down the night this is it. The perfect dive bar. The staff is friendly and they'll make you whatever drink you want. This place always feels like home. read more

Super cool dive bar. Hot bartender. A little hard to find. Harder to leave. Definitely a place to get a drink

KK is awesome, food not so much but she is fun and makes a great experience. Had a great time.

Trashiest service ever. The bartender heather last night displayed the most unprofessional behavior. She informed me it's cash only, so I withdrew cash from the ATM inside the bar. I Ordered 4 shots and a pitcher of beer and gave her my money. She poured the 4 shots then proceeded to tell me I gave her a fake $20, which I reminded her she just watched me pull the money out of the ATM that was In the bar. She said I'm not gonna pour your pitcher of beer until I decide if this is real money or not. After some convincing from myself and other patrons around to prove to heather that it was not a fake $20 (Which was very apparent by the way) I asked for my pitcher. She then tried to say I didn't pay for it. I said "you literally just told me you weren't gonna pour it until you figured out if it was real, which means you clearly know I gave you money for it" she started to get an attitude and told me to either pay or get the fuck out. Baffled I'm laughing at this situation and she says "wipe your stupid look off your face before I call my friend over" so now I'm being threatened by heather as she demands to know my name. A lady next to me whom I'm assuming was her friend said, "sorry she's pretty shit faced just let it go" after some exchanged words I apologize to heather on her behalf of being so shit faced she is incapable of doing her job and paid for an additional pitcher of beer. read more
