Came back after about a year to Bottle shock and we happened upon their 2 year anniversary of the new owners buying the business. It was a lively fun family party atmosphere. It seems like they have a lot more events happening like movie nights and live music and just lots of stuff. We enjoyed our glass of pinot noir and Tempranillo and they were giving out small slices of pizza as part of their anniversary so I munched on that. They offered us a glass of champagne too but we declined. We sat watching the football game on the tv and enjoyed our date. For the night we went, it definitely felt more like a party place, people were drinking a lot of beer, taking shots, etc. but not sure if that was just because of it being their anniversary. We had fun! read more

Bottleshock is amazing! the outside seating is so nice and feels like I'm in my own backyard enjoying Sangrias. They have good snacks like charcuterie boards and bruschetta or they usually have food trucks on weekends/event days. The staff is always great and super friendly. read more

BottleShock Wine & Brew - Wine Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I love the experience. It was a great opportunity for me and my company. We enjoyed everything there that evening.

Indoor outdoor wine bar. Weather was cold but they had heaters. Was quite empty, not sure why. I think maybe Sunday? I didn't have wine but had a couple beers. Not sure I'll be back in the area. But it's worth a stop if your there read more

Great vibes. Nice selection of beers on draft and in bottles. Immaculate service. Nice restrooms!!! read more

BottleShock Wine & Brew - Barrelhouse Pineapple Hefe - Wine Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I've been here a few times, the wine is okay for the most part, and the food trucks are really yummy. What really confuses me is how they advertise as a place to bring friends, family, and colleagues, yet you can't bring your children to their grassy area. When I arrived, I was rudely and aggressively approached about not allowing my child into the outdoor seating area. The bartender tried to shame me for bringing my child to a "bar". I understand he couldn't come inside, but the 8,000 square foot advertised grassy area doesn't make sense. This company should be much more clear that they ARE NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. Also, there are always red ants climbing all over the place. We won't be back! read more

Fun place when there is live music. Great pizza and wine, a nice place to chill out on a beautiful Bakersfield afternoon.

Looking for a cozy place to have a glass of wine (or bottle, I don't judge. LOL) then you should pop over to BottleShock. They have a small indoor seating area or a gorgeous outside patio with plenty of room. Their staff was delightful and knowledgeable. The hummus plate was my favorite and I enjoyed mixing and matching their flights. Go give yourself a relaxing time at BottleShock, and take me with you!! LOL read more

Great ambiance with a backward vibe and solid drink options. Service is mediocre and not consistent

Great ambiance, great service this place is very cute went for a work event. My only complaint is we called atleast 5xs to get some more details and no answer! When we showed up they said the out said patio was already booked which sucked because that was the main reason we went! But we stayed. Inside is small but very cute read more

This place is darling! I loved the ambiance and charm of this beautiful wine tasting room. We choose to sit outside because the weather was perfect and not a mosquito in sight! The patio area is huge! Which means that social distancing is so easy to do here. They have a ton of beautiful space and lighting. It's definitely a great spot to meet friends or even a date. It's cozy and romantic. My companion ordered the wine flight which i regretted not getting after seeing the selection. Instead i ordered a glass of Merlot and a Pinot. Both delicious and yummy. Inside they have a huge selection of wines from central coast, which i love! I'd definitely hang out inside when that becomes an option. The bar is beautiful. Service was great and i love supporting local businesses. Give them a try! You wont be disappointed. read more

I'm upset I never heard of this place sooner. Would have never thought Bakersfield would have one of these. Definitely needed to elevate the city. Nate and Shelby are the nicest people. Just their energy is enough to make us return. We spent most of our time just talking to them and having fun. We practically tried half their menu. Great wine selection! It's not all wine either. They even have margarita slushees! Make sure you take in the outside patio and play some cornhole. My party and I will 100% come back. I imagine this would be a fantastic place to go to go wind down after a date. read more

Had a great experience vibing and enjoying live music while sipping on my wine margarita. My friend and I came in to support our friend that was playing and we sat outside in the seating area. Considering that it was summer time, it still felt very nice being outdoors as they have these mists all over the outdoor area to keep you cool. The wine margarita was honestly fantastic and it was my first time trying one of these. I do wish they had more appetizer or food options available to pair with our drinks. So far so good read more

Went in to grab a beer after work. Ordered a cinnamon stout from Firestone brew. Was very tasty. The new owners took over in Dec and were very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to try the different selections of beers, and maybe a wine next time. We also ordered the spinach dip and the flat bread pizza. They were also great. read more

Today Ruby and I met the most amazing mother/daughter team! Shelby and her mother Theresa opened Bottle Shock on 19th St in downtown Bakersfield two years ago. They have tons of events throughout the week, like paint night, live music, and even a comedy night! Their courtyard is dog friendly. Perfect spot for business meetings, to unwind with hubby or girlfriends after work, or for their monthly Sunday brunch! They have a wide selection of wines and ales, charcuterie boxes, panini sandwiches and other munchies and a great laid back atmosphere. They were so kind to donate a beautiful gift basket worth $125.00 towards our Dress For The Stars Gala and it will be available for our auction! Their ask for the community is to get the word out that they are there and stop by to enjoy a glass of ale or wine along with great conversation! Stop on by and support our local businesses!! read more

I'm always late to the party! Just visited for the first time a few weeks ago. This place is a dream! It's pretty with soft colors and a little girly. Good music playing, I love the atmosphere! Perfect sangrias! The girls that own it are delightful! I haven't visited the outdoor area but once the weather cools I surely will! Can't wait to go back! Lovely lovely spot!

BottleShock Wine & Brew - I came here to relax and read a book and it was amazing. Music was great not very low or loud enough to read and enjoy my mimosa. - Wine Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Had an amazing time celebrating with a friend here. The aesthetic is super cute and trendy. The frozen wine slushees were delicious. The service was excellent and friendly. Their Instagram tells you all the great events that they are putting on. So excited to enjoy girls nights here in the future. We had the small charcuterie box. It was beautiful presentation and everything in it was delicious. There we're two soft cheeses one lavender sheep's milk cheese that was super creamy and delicious there was honey drizzled over it so it was a little bit sweet. The other soft cheese was like a Brie and blue mix. Then there was a Swiss and a hard English cheddar both were sharp and delicious. It also had a dry salami and prosciutto. read more

Here on a Sunday afternoon, pretty slow but great energy. The owners are two young ladies with great personalities. It's tough to come downtown because of the the type of business and people that are here but when we are here it feels like we are somewhere else. I really hope that that Bakersfield continues to grow this type of establishments. The owners are a mother and daughter who welcomed us and made us feel comfortable right away. The brewery next door has a family owned bbq, and they allowed us to bring us food in which of course we loved. Overall we love this place. read more

Pre-pandemic I was lamenting on the lack of outdoor spaces in Bakersfield. Places where friends and family could relax and hang out while enjoying some drinks and bites. As if by magic, Bottleshock appeared and fulfilled my sun-bathing & wine-sipping wishes! We recently visited Bottleshock and met up with some friends. It was the most perfect way to socially distant and still hang out. The weather, while in the 80s, was warm but entirely tolerable under their enormous umbrellas. It was quite busy on this Saturday afternoon but lucky for us, our friends had secured a nice place to sit in some comfy couches. The wine and beer selection (yes, that's right no cocktails - yet!) was great. Tons of local brands and even some new one's I've never heard of. Our friends suggested a rose and it was lovely. Nice and crisp on a warm day! For food, they had Radio Sandwich as a popup serving up some delicious sandos. We grabbed a Muffaletta to share - it was huge! Service was a but slow. And we had to take in our carafe of water for a refill, but they were quite obviously busy and short-staffed. No biggie. Looking forward to coming here again soon! read more

I love that downtown Bakersfield is gentrifying, and Bottleshock is a nice addition. A little more upscale wine bar. The wine selection is decent with a focus on California wines. The major issue I have is the reds are more or less served at room temperature. A wine bar should know better and have things at the right temperature. The place itself is nice. Tastefully decorated and a nice spot for a date. Parking outside is on the street, but not very difficult in that part of town in the evening. read more

This venue has small storefront most of it is outdoors which can be challenging to bear in the summertime Bakersfield heat! Not much shade, feels like you're in someone's big backyard. There are a few misters but no fans and seating is limited especially if there's a semi-private event going on. read more

This is my happy place , I love coming here and just having a relaxing moment outside on the patio . On my last visit a few sweet lady sent over bruschetta and I'm so glad she did . Bruschetta isn't something I'd normally order , but it was so good ! The flavors go so well together, it's so refreshing and delicious I'll order it again . read more

BottleShock Wine & Brew - Current beer seltzer menu - Wine Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Saw this place on the news and wanted to give it a try. The inside is cute, similar to a lot of the revamped places downtown. The outside area is the real star. There is a huge outdoor area with a few seating areas for larger groups. Perfect for a Bakersfield summer night. I give it 3 stars for the wine selection. The bottles they feature all retail around $10 to $20, which they resell for $25 to $40. I understand a markup, that's to be expected, but at least they could mark up decent wine. The varietals are rather pedestrian too. Here's to hoping the wine menu gets a revamp too. read more

Great vibe, and we loved the outdoor area. Brought our dog and it was perfect for her to hang out while we enjoyed a hazy IPA and sangria under a cozy heat lamp. We got the hummus & veggie box & it was better than expected, complete with warm pita bread! Would totally come back here. Also the staff was great :) read more

What a cute place. Outdoor seating with shade and misters. Ordered a flight of wine and a pomegranate seltzer very pleased. Shared a chartuiterre board and chicken panini with fig jam. Delicious!

BottleShock Wine & Brew - Chicken and fig panini - Wine Bars Near Me - Bakersfield, California

You know how the really good places you get worried about all the positive reviews making a place super popular. This place is great, especially during the COVID. They have a great outdoor seating area. The people who work here are extremely friendly. I will note where we first sat down we were given a menu that only had a about 16-20 bottle on it. Ordered a bottle from that list but then realized they had a second list with more wine. Great, not huge name and interesting selection - the reason you go to a wine bar. Did not try the food, but it looked good. Looking forward to returning. There is tons of street parking and there are a number of restaurants near by if you are looking for a place to grab something after. Oh and they have misters. When it is 100 degrees out but you have no choice but to sit outside they are great. read more

Love this place! The service is amazing, great wine options, the patio is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy company, and I love that they have live music at times. read more

What a wonderful place. We sat outside. It's a great space. They have an extensive wine list. We split the chicken fig panini for lunch. The fig and apple add nice flavor. My Varner Pinot was good. My wife like the Lapis Luna Chardonnay. There is a brewery next door and they have those beers available too. Ahh, a reason to come back read more

A lovely place with lovely people! Recommended for a girls night out or a date! The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Shout out to Teresa for taking such good care of my friend and me! I love that this place partners with a local, neighboring brewery and features live music. This is what community is all about! A recommendation is to provide tasting notes on the menu. read more

My friends and I have been here twice and we LOVE it. The Silk and Spice wine blend is our favorite. Service is always great and the atmosphere is relaxing. The misters and comfy seating that are spaced out appropriately, adds to the level of chill we all look for. read more

Just what Bakersfield needed. A cute and quaint wine bar with the perfect atmosphere. They have a great selection of wine and beer, and even food options. They occasionally have a pizza vendor and live music which is a plus! No kiddos allowed, but fur babies are welcomed. read more

Super cute outside patio!! We stayed all night! The selections of wine is really good, but they say wine and brew and they only have one beer on tap... my husband enjoyed the beer, but having brew in your title should show you have at least a few brew choices. I throughly enjoyed the Pinot noir and the sangria. They were on the sweeter side, which me and my party loved. read more
