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

    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.

    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

    Smooth and tasty

    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.

    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.

    This is such a cool little spot downtown. Sitting outside on the patio listening to live music on a Friday / Saturday evening . Fresh pizzas available or snacks to go with ur drinks. Really cool place to hangout with ur friends. Highly recommend for something different. Tip- make a reservation first !

    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!!

    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! Cheers to Bottlesho

    Pretty spot, came by to check it out with two of my sister in laws. Ordered a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. Seemed small at first but was actually filling. Nice atmosphere and spacious lounging area, like a pretty backyard to chill on. Recommend for a relaxing girls night out.

    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.

    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!

If you have a special selection, I believe they'll even make you an order. I've gotten probably every type of liquor in there and tried tons of new additions, which I love having in my selection at home. The workers are all very pleasant and greet you when you enter. They have music nights, tastings and a wood fire pizza oven, which I haven't been able to get to just yet. Love this place and will continue to give them business reasonably priced and aren't trying to make scam like some of these liquor stores around town. Definitely give this place a shot, especially because they're in the middle of town and the selection is the best. Have a great one and see you at the next spot.

We went for a special event -bubbles, boards, and bingo! What a fun way to enjoy an evening. Who doesn't love a nice glass of bubbly. They have a good selection of bottles to buy; mostly from Paso Robles and Napa/ Sonoma area. Average price for a glass of wine is $10 or so. The place is not too big and not too small. It's just right, especially for people who don't like large crowds. If I could make a suggestion, I would suggest maybe better prizes for bingo or better options at least. Keep people motivated and interested! The service staff was doing the best they could , but I think one more staff member would have helped a lot. More efficient and productive!

We loved it so much, not only did we dine there, we ordered a bunch of food to go and drove it home to heat up and eat the next day. The next day food was just as great as when we ate there. It just has wonderful dishes. Founder by Nick Uricchio, and his son Steve they opened Uricchio's Trattoria, clearly a family affair. Sadly, Nick died some time ago. He was the nicest guy and always had a smile on his face. His nick name was Papa Nick. He always said hello to the customers and was just a doll. Go in his honor. It is just as great as when Nick was there. Steve is usually there to greet you and he is wonderful. Uricchio's Trattoria offers a great selection of appetizers, soups (a must) and entrees to satisfy anyone. They have fresh seasonal dishes prepared with care from Executive Chef Raphael Hernandez who has been there forever I think. Parking is easy. Make a reservation, you want to do that. It gets crowded. We have been there without one before and loved sitting at the bar and eating. Anything with shrimp is great. All of their pastas are great. We loved their spaghetti and meat balls. Their vegetables are made right. They don't consider it something just to toss on your plate. They are al dente and so great. Their Linguini pasta with shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in a tomato basil marinara sauce is my favorite and they have the best salads and desserts. It is a must stop in Bakersfield. The place is beautiful.

    Nobody plans to spend an evening in Bakersfield. You pass through it on the way to somewhere else…read more-- Mammoth, the Sequoias, the long flat grind up the 99 to Sacramento -- and if you stop at all, it's for gas or a bathroom or because your BMW's brakes have decided, somewhere around the Grapevine, that they'd rather not. Thank you, Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, for the near-death experience and, inadvertently, for one of the best nights out I've had in years. Stranded and waiting on repairs, we checked into The Padre, the only hotel in Bakersfield that feels like someone with a subscription to Dwell had a hand in it, and set out walking through a downtown that time has treated with more kindness than reputation suggests. There's a Woolworth's luncheonette still hanging on. There are old brick facades and wide sidewalks and the particular quiet of a Central Valley evening when the heat finally breaks. And then, on 18th Street, there is Tiki-Ko, and suddenly you are no longer in Bakersfield at all. You are, instead, inside someone's magnificent obsession. Tiki-Ko is a proper tiki bar -- not a tiki-themed cocktail lounge, not a place that bought some bamboo at a craft store and called it atmosphere, but a genuine, committed, floor-to-ceiling shrine to mid-century Polynesian fantasy. The carvings are real. The lighting is correct -- which is to say, barely there. The mugs are serious. There are pufferfish lamps and carved totems and the whole glorious taxonomy of tiki ephemera, accented here and there with a skate-culture edge that keeps it from feeling like a museum. It's reverent without being precious. The drinks are the real thing. Mai Tais built with actual orgeat. Zombies that earn the name. The bartenders make them with the kind of care and enthusiasm that tells you this isn't a gig -- it's a calling. They want you to be here. They want to talk about rum. They want you to try the Painkiller. In a city that most Angelenos regard as a punch line, somebody built a world-class cocktail bar and filled it with joy, and the regulars clearly know it. You will not plan a trip to Bakersfield. But if you find yourself there -- by mechanical failure, by accident, by the peculiar mercy of a bad brake job -- walk downtown. Find the tiki bar. Order a second round. Stay longer than you intended. Bakersfield has been underestimated, and Tiki-Ko is the proof.
