A white man inside wearing shorts
Tippy N.

It was my birthday last night and we came here after we went bowling. I was excited but the 5'3 security guard sent all 5 of us away because my husband had of shorts! It's 90 degrees at 9pm on a Saturday. Cool, no problem. We'll go somewhere else. LOL just letting the owner know that the security at the door is messing with your money. Edit post initial review ***So after doing a little digging, I found out that my husband was most likely being racially profiled. He's a black man. He had on army cargo shorts and a black polo and a hat. I went on their IG and clearly found a white man in shorts an undershirt and a hat posted to their IG page!!! Wow. People are disgusting. Shame on this place!!!!

Had a wonderful date night with the hubby. Spoiled me as always! Had a few good drinks. Whiskey sour and the old fashioned was a must. Would definitely go back Our waitress was also very attentive!

Cheers!

Wow! What a wonderful and fun date night! Not knowing where to go and wanting to stay close to home we decided to give this place a go. From the outside you really can't tell what to expect! The inside is very modern and upscale, yet you don't have to be all fancy to go in! Let's talk about the drinks! They had some awesome selection of beverages. All of their drinks were simply amazing. Well thought out flavors, with a mix of earthy ingredients and fruit (no, not fruity drinks, but I'm sure you could ask for it if you really wanted it!) none of the drinks were overwhelming in flavors like most places around here. The selection of liquor is impressive. They have mezcal, tequila, sotol, several whisky and brandy brands, Beer, vodka and more! The service was beyond incredible, Christian took care of us all night. He haves us the history and 411 on a lot of the liquor we tasted. This is a family owned business and it shows it because of the outstanding way they run it. Honestly walked out feeling like a friend and so glad we found out new spot.

Very intimate lounge with strong drinks. Attentive bartender. The Pear was strong $13 tasted of cinnamon. Smores $13 super chocolatey and sweet and delicious. Great addition to the NW

Had the chance to stop by and check out the new location, customer service was great. I ordered steak fajitas, and a tinga taco, both were really good. This isn't your regular Mexican spot. Definitely more upscale with a more modern vibe. If they add a Dj, definitely a nice spot to hang out with friends to have drinks.

Whiskey sour and watermelon basil margarita! Both great!

This place is AMAZING! Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great music playing but not overly loud. Nice place to come wind down and have a drink without the rowdy bar/club atmosphere. And not just any drink. Hand crafted, delicious, exotic drinks made with love for the craft! And the price is great drinks are $12-14 on average, which is great for the quality and presentation they have. The bartenders were super friendly, recommended drinks and were very attentive. The place is on the smaller side but the layout is nice. There was no food besides ceviche but we were told they were currently working on expanding so I'm excited to see what else they bring! Great place, great vibe must check it out!

Smoke in the city! Delicious!
Sandra P.

I'm excited about this place! I love a beautiful, dark bar. In this case, a sexy lounge. Amazing ambiance. They have an amazing menu of serious cocktails. All of their mixers are made of fresh ingredient with homemade simple syrups. My companion and i tried a few different cocktails. I tried a mezcal watermelon margarita - to die delicious! We also tried the pineapple Moscow mule and smoke in the city! They were all delicious! The bartender is a serious mixologist. We were given top notch service. At this time they aren't serving food yet. But we ordered a pizza from New Vintage Grill and one of the staff members was soooooo kind to pick it up and bring it to us. This was their recommendation. Talk about servicio estilo Mexicano! Lo mejor! We were given various menus from their neighbors such as: Don Pericos, Thai, and New Vintage Grill. What a way to collaborate with your neighbors. This is a great place for date night or just w friends. Let me show you the pics i have!

Got there at 6pm on Friday night Table was avail for 4 ppl. This place is really big on the inside…read more Got a big table, & had good music playing. Just a few notches above dark, it's dim and moody vibe, perfect for lovers or friends to chat it up. I do not recommend this place for kids. My husband got the ribeye with mashed potatoes. I got the ribeye tacos.. best ribeye we have had. Juicy, melt in your mouth, perfectly seasoned. 5 stars! Friends got the NY Strip and Salmon. They loved it! the steaks are served on a full cutting board. Plenty of space for carving.. and amazing presentation. Great sides to choose from, as well. They featured great local wine, we enjoyed the J Dusi & Austin Hope reds. I ding them one star bc although the service was pretty good, we were looking for our waiter a few times. And my friend got an appetizer salad which was brought with dinner instead of before. Definitely recommend for a girls night or date! Hope to return soon.

Adon was my friendly and attentive server this evening. I…read moreordered the Salmon Tropical Ceviche a combination of Salmon, mango, avocado, jalapeño, red onions cilantro served with blue tortilla chips. It was bright and citrusy with the sweetness of the mango to balance the flavors and a lovely creamy finish with the avocado. The jalapeños were perfect, just enough heat but not overpowering. I was very happy to pay only $10 for a glass of Justin Cabernet. They do not have an extensive wine list, but they do offer several tasty wines that will pair well with their menu items. No happy hour but they do have a daily special of a New York Steak with pasta and 2 drinks for $60. That's a pretty good deal as far as I'm concerned. Sadly they aren't open for lunches, although they open at 3:00 Saturdays & 2:00 Sundays. Plenty of TV's for those so inclined. Country music playing in the background. They also have a lovely patio. I'm definitely coming back to try their steaks soon. Definitely check them out!

I must say this was my first time actually staying in Bakersfield and I was honestly surprised that…read morethe Marriott was completely booked! Granted it looked like all construction workers because there was nothing else but oversized trucks in their parking lot! My fiancé Googled "clean hotel without bed bugs" and Padre Hotel came up first! Their online reviews were great and we were exhausted and needed to rest! We pulled into their valet parking just to drop off our things. As my fiancé parked the car, across the street in the over night garage, I was able to get a Single King room on a Monday night for $159. As we walked into our room #701, it was rather small, but fine since it was just the two of us. As I sat on the bed, it was actually hard! Yay!!!! I can't STAND soft beds and rather sleep on the floor! Haha no joke! Then my fiancé went into the restroom and suddenly he tapped on something glass sounding as I was turning ing on the tv..... I noticed there was a curtain by the bed, so I pulled it across and lo and behold by the bed was the shower and just a curtain the person from the outside of the shower could open/close as they please..... hee. We also had a mini fridge in the room along with a desk and chair. We had planned on staying one night, but got inside LA, and we figured we'd extend our stay. Upon doing so, we went downstairs the next day and asked if there was a deal if we could stay 3-4 days, and sure enough there was!!!! It's always great to see what happens once you ask! Hee. We got a larger room with a corner room location, I forgot the room number, but the restroom was larger and had a separate wall between the toilet and shower area, so if someone was in the shower, someone else could use the toilet and not be seen. This longer hotel room also had a chaise lounge chair and a better view of their downtown area, granted a lot of the places have closed. Overall, I honestly loved our stay here! It reminded me of a county version of The Fairmont SF! They constantly played new aged country music in the lobby! Then on Fridays and Saturdays there was a live band or singer in the bar area! I love how they had a community aspect to the hotel with some local live entertainment!!! My fiancé also loved watching The Knicks play on the bar tv with other people at the bar! Hee. Oh and they had an adorable coffee shop that made Ready To Order items downstairs too! See my review at Farmacy Cafe, but too freaking too! Country SHREK! Hee We will definitely be back again!!!!!

Tiki Ko is constantly holding weekly meet-ups for tiki bar fans and I highly recommend the Explorers Club on Tuesday if you are looking for something to do during the week! They also have Mug Club on Wednesdays and trivia on occasion, so there is a reason to go for everyone! Just make sure you eat before as they don't serve food.

Haven't been in here for probably 15 years. It's changed- a bit. I love Tiki bars and I go to every…read moreTiki bar I can find. It's tiny- like a lot of tiki spots. Decor is nice. Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.
